Lobo--She Didn't Do Magic


Tom Jones’ version of “Resurrection Shuffle” joins the Ashton, Gardner & Dyke version as a single entry. The combined entry will get to number two; nationally Tom narrowly won out, 38 to 40.

Of the four other debuts, two will do much better here than in Billboard. Bobby Russell’s “Saturday Morning Confusion,” a gentle, whimsical piece of suburban family life similar to his 1968 “1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero,” will go to number four, whereas in BB it peaked at number 28 on the pop chart and number 24 on the country chart. “She Didn’t Do Magic,” Lobo’s follow-up to “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” which only got to number 46 nationally, will get up to number five.

That leaves Elvis’s “I’m Leavin’” (36BB/40KJR) and Creedence’s “Sweet Hitch-Hiker” (number six on both).
