“La-La-Means I Love You” by the Delfonics drops off after two weeks on the survey; it’ll stay off for three weeks, then come back for five.  Also dropping off after two weeks is the Will-O-Bees’ “It’s Not Easy;” it’ll be off just this one week, then come back for three weeks.

One debut this week was not a Billboard hit: “Another Time” by Sagittarius, which will peak next week at number 31; it’s their second and final appearance on the survey, following “My World Fell Down.”  “Sound Asleep” by the Turtles, a number 57 BB hit, will peak here next week at number 34.  The Royal Guardsmen make their first non-Snoopy-related appearance at KJR with “I Say Love”—it’s only on the survey this one week, and it peaked at number 72 in Billboard.  Sly & the Family Stone’s first hit, “Dance to the Music,” a number eight BB hit, will only make it to number 26 here.  And “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream has an interesting history:  Upon its release, it got to number 36 in Billboard and will go to number 13 here.  Then it disappears from both charts for a while, then returns in July, getting to number five in Billboard and 18 here.
