"My Coo Ca Choo" is the first successful release for
UK Singles Chart in December 1973.[2] The glam rock single fared even better in Australia, where it spent seven weeks at the top and was the best charting single in the country in 1974.[3]
The song was written, sung, and recorded by
Bernard William Jewry, who at the time performed under the name Shane Fenton. The new "Stardust" then appeared on BBC Television's Top of the Pops just as the record had entered the UK Top 30, before finally reaching number 2.[4] Shelley then followed up with a string of hits for Stardust, including "Jealous Mind", which went to number 1 in the UK in March 1974.[5]
