Stevie Wonder--I Was Made to Love Her


Stevie Wonder plunges from number twelve to number 50.

As mentioned last time, Nilsson’s “Ten Little Indians” joins “You Can’t Do That” on the survey and becomes the a-side.

Two Northwest bands have non-Billboard debuts this week.  The New Yorkers were teenagers from Portland, three quarters of whom later became well-known as the Hudson Brothers.  “Mr. Kirby” is a psychedelic classic, part of the mid/late 60s trend of tales of the dreary and sometimes hypocritical lives of regular people (“Well Respected Man” by the Kinks, “Eleanor Rigby” by the Beatles, “Mr. Webster” by the Monkees, “Mr. Businessman” by Ray Stevens…).  It will peak here at number 26.  The other is “Love’s So Easy Now,” a rocker-with-horns by British Columbia group Pembrook Ltd.  It was released by the DebuTone record company of Moses Lake, WA, and will be at number 46 for each of its three weeks on the survey.

“Get Together” by the Youngbloods only got to number 62 in Billboard on its original 1967 release, while it’ll reach number 24 here; we’ll see it here again in two years, when it’ll get to number five nationally and number eight here.  Petula Clark’s “The Cat in the Window” will get no higher here than its number 47 debut position, while nationally it made it to number 26.
