Fleetwoods--Ska Light, Ska Bright

Discovery: Dusty Springfield—Wishin’ and Hopin’

Olympia’s Fleetwoods, a couple years after the end of their period of big national success, debut with an attempt to jump on a ska bandwagon that never materialized after Millie Small’s “My Boy Lollipop”—“Ska Light, Ska Bright.”  It only spends two weeks on the KJR survey, and didn’t make Billboard—and probably never got close to making it there.

In one of the last dying spasms of the original folk boom, before the folk-rock boom of the following year, the Greenwood County Singers will hit number 6 here in a few weeks with “The New Frankie and Johnny Song,” which only made it to number 75 at Billboard.

Strangely, this is the second straight week with no Beatles on the survey.  This will be rectified next week.
