All the week’s debuts were Hot 100 Billboard hits.  One just barely—“Sally Had a Party” by Flavor, an organ-heavy “Gimme Some Lovin’” soundalike, was number 95, but will get to number 28 here (after spending the next three weeks at number 33).  The biggest national hit among the seven debuts was Archie Bell & the Drells’ “I Can’t Stop Dancing,” at number nine, but here it’ll only go to number 45; while the biggest hit here of the bunch will be “Down at Lulu’s” by the Ohio Express, number three, but it was only a number 33 BB hit.  The only other one that will perform significantly differently here is “Somebody Cares” by Tommy James & the Shondells, a number 53 BB hit that will make it to number 26 at KJR.

Personal aside: If someone asks me what my favorite song is, my standard answer is “Time Has Come Today” by the Chambers Brothers.  The shortened single version of the eleven-minute song debuts here at number 50; it’ll almost exactly match its national peak (11BB/12KJR).
