“Heather Honey” and “Special Delivery” drop off the survey from number 16 and number 18.

All nine of the debuts were Hot 100 hits.  When “Richard and Me” by Gene & Tommy debuted on 9-29-67 I talked a little about the different permutations of Gene Pistilli, Tommy West, and Terry Cashman; the three of them debut here as the Buchanan Brothers with the bubblegummy “Medicine Man,” a number 22 Billboard hit that will spend two weeks at number two here.

“In the Time of Our Lives” by Iron Butterfly will spend five weeks on the survey, though only getting as high as number 46—but that’s quite a bit better than its number 96 national showing.  “The Prophecy of Daniel and John the Divine (Six-Six-Six)” sounds more like an Iron Butterfly title than a Cowsills title, but musically it’s typical Cowsills.  Lyrically, I have no idea what its point is.  It was a number 75 hit nationally and will get to number 45 here at KJR.  “I Turned You On” by the Isley Brothers will come up short of its number 23 BB peak, stopping here at number 41.
