All seven of the debuts were Hot 100 hits.  Psych-y instrumental “Stoned Cowboy” by Miami band Fantasy was a number 77 hit that’ll get up to number twelve here.  “Sunset Strip,” another serious Ray Stevens song, only got to number 81 nationally but will make it to number 35.  Charles Wright’s “Express Yourself,” number twelve in Billboard (number three on the soul chart), will spend three weeks at number 43 and then drop off.  And the Guess Who’s “Share the Land,” number ten in BB, will stall at number 24.
