One of my all time favourite singers - I helped Midnight Train become a UK hit for no payment; indeed it cost me a fortune, because I loved it - was just on Pointless. Reminded me - You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me (Jimmy Webb) is, I think, one of the best pop lyrics ever written.
Both of those songs are great, Gladys is one of my all-time favourites too. She also did an excellent duet with Kenny Rogers called If I Knew Then What I Know Now in the 1980s.

Terry Jacks was number 1 with Seasons In The Sun in March 1974. Though it wasn't mentioned, so probably wasn't pointless. Poppy Family only got to No. 7 with Which Way You Goin' Billy (on Decca in August 1970).
I need to leave work early and get home to watch Pointless more often. It's rather good!
