City Zu--Eeny Meeny


We last saw Bellevue’s City Zu in December 1967; they’re back with their second and final record on the survey, “Eeny Meeny,” also non-Billboard.  It’ll get to number 40.  Gary Lewis & the Playboys only made it to number 101 in Billboard with the sunshine-pop-bubblegum “Main Street,” which will peak here next week at number 33.

Eddie Floyd’s version of “Bring it on Home to Me,” a number 17 national hit, will inch up to number 46 next week and drop off.  The other debuts will all do at least a bit better here than in BB: “Goody Goody Gumdrops” by the 1910 Fruitgum Co. (37BB/7KJR), the Sir Douglas Quintet’s “Mendocino” (27/12), Johnny Rivers’ “Right Relations” (61/30), and “Do Something to Me” by Tommy James & the Shondells (38/21).
