“Saturday’s Child,” another Monkees LP cut, is added to the survey; next week there’ll be a new single.  The other debuts were all Hot 100 hits.  Spokane/England’s Liverpool Five got their only BB hit with “Any Way That You Want Me,” which got to number 98 there; it’ll peak here at number 17.  The In Crowd, a pop-rock vocal trio not to be confused with Jon & Robin & the In Crowd (who we will see in 1967), did slightly better in Billboard than the Liverpool Five, making it to number 92 with “Questions and Answers,” which will peak here at number 35.  Conversely, Ronnie Dove’s version of the 1951 Johnnie Ray hit “Cry” will only get to number 42 here while it made number 18 in Billboard.
