Roger Williams--The Impossible Dream


All the debuts were Hot 100 hits.  “The Eyes of a New York Woman” by B.J. Thomas was a number 28 BB hit that will get to number eight here.  Roger Williams’ version of “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha peaked at number 55 in Billboard but will make it up to number 18 here.  Funky instrumental “Grazing in the Grass” by South African Hugh Masekela was number one for two weeks nationally, but here will stop at number 20.  And Jose Feliciano’s version of “Light My Fire,” a number three BB hit, will only get to number 30 here; it’ll have an interesting chart trajectory, spending three weeks at number 44, then three weeks off the chart, then four weeks back on, starting at number 48 and making its way to number 30 in its final week.
