Partridge Family--I'll Meet You Halfway


Just four debuts this week. Each did better locally than nationally, but none dramatically so: Jerry Reed’s “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot” (9BB/7KJR), “Follow Me” by Mary Travers (56/45), “13 Questions” by California jazz-rock band Seatrain (49/27), and the Partridge Family’s “I’ll Meet You Halfway” (9/3).

    1. Hi Gene! Yeah, I moved, and now that we're finally settled in I'm out of the habit of posting. Thanks for noticing/asking, and thanks for the reminder. I'll try to get a post out tonight.
