	Top of the Pops
		Unlike many other pop shows Top of the Pops contained the narrative ingredients of development, anticipation and closure: with each episode, as the countdown commenced, the audience would be kept in suspense by the big question, "who will be top of the pops this week?".
		In many respects the Top of the Pops format was informed by radio, the medium that had been closer to the pulse of teen tastes and pop trends.
		Nevertheless, Top of the Pops has continued to fend of all rivals, and competitors have found the show to be an immovable fixture in the schedules.

		That song was the first in the Four Tops’ string of smashes, most of which featured roiling, boiling bass lines from the late great James Jamerson and the interlocking interplay of the rest of the Funk Brothers.
		The Tops continued to score with remakes of pop hits, duets with the Supremes, and a ’71 U.K. chartbuster (“A Simple Game,” on which they were backed by the Moody Blues), before splitting for Dunhill/ABC in 1972.
		Ultimately, the Four Tops are as much a part of Detroit’s proud musical legacy as longtime riverfront nightspot the Roostertail, where they recorded a 1966 live album.

		Following this, the Top of the Pops Orchestra, directed by Johnny Pearson, provided live backing to specially recorded tracks by the artists.

		At best it seems hopelessly optimistic and at worst borderline delusional, but when David Cassidy brings his travelling roadshow to Australia in November he is booked to play the Sydney Entertainment Centre, a venue with an 11,000-seat capacity.
		His last locally released album, Didn't You Used To Be (1992), didn't even register a blip on the ARIA Top 100 chart.
		As for the man himself, there's no sense the tour is an ambitious undertaking rather, Cassidy views such arenas as more of a natural downsizing from his teen idol days in the 1970s when songs such as I Think I Love You ruled the airwaves.
