Only five debuts this week, so I’ll run through all of them.  Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” a number five hit in Billboard, will get to number six here.  Gary Lewis & the Playboys’ remake of “Sealed With a Kiss,” number 19 BB, will inexplicably go all the way to number one here.  “Lady Willpower,” the first record to be credited to Gary Puckett & the Union Gap (rather than The Union Gap Featuring Gary Puckett), will edge ahead of its number two Billboard peak and also get to number one, one week ahead of Gary Lewis.  The Vogues’ remake of “Turn Around, Look at Me” will also slightly beat its national peak, going to number four rather than number seven.  And pop vocal group the Peppermint Trolley Company (who did the Brady Bunch theme song) will make it to number 21 with “Baby You Come Rollin’ Across My Mind,” a number 59 hit in Billboard.
