Answer Me by David Whitfield (6/11/53, 1 Week)
This is an English version of a German song about God. Wait! Come back! It was banned as well! Why? Because it was about God. The BBC, brilliantly, banned it after some complaints. Seems strange to think that even back in the 1950s people would complain about broadcasts that seem so relatively inoffensive, especially considering how much of the population would have been churchgoers at the time. Fascinating. I wonder what’s going to follow this one?
