Discovery: Jerry Butler & Betty Everett—Let it Be Me

All the debuts this week were Billboard Hot 100 hits.  “Good Night Baby” by the Butterflys, a number 51 BB hit, will reach number 9 here at KJR, while the Searchers’ “Someday We’re Gonna Love Again” will reach number 6 here but only got to number 34 at BB.

Yet another Beatles single reaches the survey this week.  Nationally, “Slow Down” got to number 25 while the other side, “Matchbox,” got to number 17.  At KJR just “Slow Down” is listed this week and the next, then the following two weeks both sides will be listed together, as “Slow Down/Matchbox,” and they will peak at number 6.  Then again for three weeks after that just “Slow Down” will be listed.  Meanwhile, "And I Love Her" makes a big leap this week from 28 to 6.

Ronnie Dove's "Say You," which had been on the survey from July 3 through 24 and then dropped off for four weeks, inexplicably reappears here at number 50 before vanishing for good.
