Jan & Dean’s “I Found a Girl” makes a sizeable leap.

One non-BB debut this week—“You’re So Right For Me” by the Jades, a semi-Motowny girl group record that will get to number 22 here.  Peter Antell’s version of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changing” barely squeaked, or barely bubbled, into the Bubbling Under chart at number 135, and will make it to number 33 here.  “So Long Babe,” Nancy Sinatra’s first appearance on the Billboard charts, at number 86, will get up to number 26 here, and Barry McGuire’s “Child of Our Times” will get to number 34, versus the 72 it peaked at in BB.  On the other hand, the Walker Brothers’ “Make it Easy on Yourself” was a number 16 BB hit that will stall at number 36 at KJR.

Lettermen--Secretly


A high debut for Bob Dylan, and a big leap upwards for Little Jimmy Dickens.  “Road Runner” by the Gants returns to the survey after dropping off for a week.  “Help!” drops completely off from number 12.

“Hang On Sloopy” by the McCoys debuts on the survey, paired with “(My Girl) Sloopy” (same song) by Little Caesar & the Consuls as a single entry.  They’ll be listed this way for three weeks, and then the McCoys will have the spot to themselves for five more weeks.  Two debuts were non-BB hits: Seattle’s Viceroys return to the survey with “That Sound,” which will peak here at number 25; and Wayne Newton’s “Keep the Lovin’ Feelin’,” the b-side of number 69 Billboard hit “Remember When” (which will not make the KJR list), will get up to number 11.  Jan & Dean’s “I Found a Girl,” number 30 in Billboard, will get all the way to number two here, and “Mr. Jones (A Ballad of a Thin Man),” a slightly retitled Bob Dylan song by the Grass Roots, will make it to number 29 here versus number 121 in Billboard.

This week may be the peak of the folk-rock craze, at least at KJR, with about 10 or 12 records on the survey that could be so described.
