I remember that getting to number one. It was in 1974, I was 12 then and I used to listen to the chart show every week. I remember every single that got in the Top 20 in 1974 (including a handful of reissued oldies). "The Streak" was Ray's only number one in the UK and his only hit in 1974. His earlier US number one "Everything Is Beautiful" (1970) only got to number 6 in the UK. I remember hearing that a lot on the radio as well.
