Discovery: Roy Orbison—Oh, Pretty Woman

One non-BB debut this week, the second one we’ve seen by the Cascades.  Skeeter Davis’ “Let Me Get Close to You,” which will not get any higher here than its number 40 spot this week, only made number 106 on BB’s Bubbling Under chart, then several weeks later got onto the country chart, where it stalled at number 45.  Skeeter had been hitting both charts for a couple years, with a sound that was more girl-group pop than country, but after this record she swung back more to the country side .

The Rolling Stones make their KJR debut this week.  “It’s All Over Now” peaked at number 26 at Billboard but will get to number 5 here.

The “Haunted House” Gene Simmons is not the Gene Simmons of KISS, just in case anyone is reading this who might have thought otherwise.

Discovery: Dave Clark Five—Because

Two debuts this week that did not make the Billboard pop charts: “Turn On Song” by Seattle’s Counts, which will peak at number 14 in four weeks, and “Fort Worth, Dallas or Houston” by George Hamilton IV, which will peak at number 26 in two weeks—the reason I specified the pop charts being that this was a number 9 hit on the Billboard country chart, but did not cross over to the pop Hot 100.
