Discovery: Four Seasons—Bye Bye Baby

Now we’re talking.  “The Witch,” by Tacoma’s Sonics, which never got near Billboard, debuts this week and will peak at number two.  The beginning of punk?

The week’s other debuts were all Hot 100 hits.  The only one that will fare noticeably differently here versus Billboard was “Hey-Da-Da-Dow” by the Dolphins: 69 BB, 6 KJR.
