Discovery: Ian Whitcomb—This Sporting Life

There was no January 1st survey.  With the two-week gap, then, we have more debuts than usual and more big jumps and falls—notably, the Righteous Brothers leaping from 35 to number one and Shirley Ellis debuting at number 14.

Israeli pop singer Esther Ofarim’s “Dirty Old Town” is the lone non-BB hit debuting this week; it will reach number 15 here.  Dusty Springfield’s “Guess Who?” will peak next week at number 23, while in Billboard it only got to number 109.  The other debuts all made the Hot 100; differences worth mentioning are those of Brenda Lee’s “The Crying Game” (87 BB/28 KJR), “Lemon Tree” by Trini Lopez (20/6), "This Sporting Life" by Englishman-in-Seattle Ian Whitcomb (100/11), and “Shake” by Sam Cooke (7/46).  “Shake” will only appear here this week--next week KJR stops playing it and switches to its b-side, “A Change is Gonna Come.”  Sonny and Cher’s “Baby Don’t Go” will reach number 11 here; it peaked at number 8 in Billboard, but not until several months later, entering the Hot 100 in August 1965, after they hit it big with “I Got You Babe.”
