Kent Morrill--Still the Sun Rose


The Partridge Family and the Jackson Five continue their quick ascents; two weeks ago they were at 30 and 35.

Exactly four debuts for the fourth time in five weeks.  One is a non-BB local hit—Kent Morrill of the Wailers with “Still the Sun Rose,” which sounds nothing like the Wailers.  It’s in more of an early-70s singer-songwriter vein.  The others are “The Tears of a Clown” by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles (1BB/2KJR), “Heed the Call” by Kenny Rogers & the First Edition (33/13), and “I Do Take You” by the Three Degrees (48/42).
