Georgio--Looky, Looky

Only four debuts, so I’ll go through them all.  Instrumental “Keem-O-Sabe” by studio group Electric Indian was a number 16 BB hit that will stop at number 23 here.  Peggy Lee’s memorably oddball “Is That All There Is” was number eleven at Billboard (and number one on the Easy Listening chart); it’ll go to number 22 here.  Bubblegum classic “Tracy” by studio group the Cuff Links, number nine nationally, will make it to number three at KJR.  And we have one non-Billboard hit: future famous disco producer Giorgio Moroder’s Euro-bubblegum “Looky, Looky,” which will get up to number eleven on the survey.  In most of the world it was released as by “Giorgio,” but here in the US it was “Georgio;” there was also a version in Italian that was called “Luky, Luky” and credited to “George.”
