Last week it was “In the Year 2525” that people evidently got suddenly sick of; this week it’s Johnny Rivers’ “Muddy River,” which drops off from number 12.

Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds,” a Billboard number one hit, will get to number three (for three weeks) here; that’s the only one of the week’s debuts that will do about as well in Seattle as nationally.  The other debuts are: country-folk ballad “Jesus is a Soul Man” by Lawrence Reynolds (28BB/13KJR), Billy Joe Royal’s “Cherry Hill Park” (15/3), the Temptations’ “I Can’t Get Next to You” (1/29), “Runnin’ Blue” by the Doors (64/33), “Heighty Hi” by Lee Michaels (106/28), “Sign on For the Good Times” by Seattle’s Merrilee Rush (125/39), and one non-BB hit, “Bluegreens on the Wing,” a goofy, mellow little tune about being mellow by former Sopwith Camel member William Sievers under the name William Truckaway—it’ll get up to number 17.

We have dueling parks back-to-back at numbers 40 and 41.
