Last week the Rolling Stones’ “Out of Time”/”Fortune Teller”
was number five. This week, “Out of Time”
drops to number 26, “Fortune Teller” drops off the survey, and another version
of “Fortune Teller,” by the Hardtimes, debuts at number three. The Hardtimes’ version was a number 97
Billboard hit; they were a southern California group that appeared regularly on
the TV show Where the Action Is. There
seems to be some disagreement as to whether they were the Hardtimes or the Hard
Times, but I’m going with what it said on the “Fortune Teller” 45.
Don & the Goodtimes (who also appeared on Where the
Action Is—were the Hardtimes their evil twins?) are back on the survey with the
great “You Were Just a Child,” which will get to number 31, and did not make
Billboard. In 1967 their WTAI exposure
will pay off with their only national hits.
It seems like Seattle always loved Hawaiian stuff, and Don
Ho’s “Tiny Bubbles” shows a slight impact from that, as it will make number 33
here versus 57 in Billboard. “I Can Make
it With You,” a favorite of mine by the Pozo-Seco Singers, was a number 32 BB
hit that will Make It to number eleven here; conversely, the Happenings’
version of “Go Away Little Girl” was a number twelve BB hit that will only get
to number 27 here.
Don and the goodtimes put together a great show set in the summer of 1966!
ReplyDeleteThey were so tight and polished and if they only had a hit record they would
have sold out any concert in the world.
No joke man, in 66 they had an explosive show.
I don't doubt it! Thanks for the comment.
