Happenings--See You in September


A lot of shakeup in the top ten, with some records making big jumps to get there.

As mentioned a couple weeks back, “Younger Girl” by the Critters drops all the way off the survey from number 15.

One noteworthy non-BB debut this week: “Diddy Wah Diddy” by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.  This was the closest thing to a hit single the Captain ever had, getting airplay in a handful of western cities.  It’ll peak at number 36 here.

Among the others are Herb Alpert’s “The Work Song” (18BB/31KJR), the Shangri-Las’ “Past, Present & Future” (59/32), and the Happenings’ “See You in September” (3/19).  Tommy Roe’s “Sweet Pea,” a number 8 BB hit, will rise quickly to number one here.
