One non-Billboard debut this week: “My Impersonal Life” by
Blue Rose, a song that would soon be covered as an LP track by Three Dog Night.
It’ll creep to number 41 next week, then drop off. One other will just barely
be a Hot 100 hit, singer-songwriter Scott English’s “Brandy,” which Barry
Manilow later changed into “Mandy;” a number 91 national hit, it will get to
number 22 here. German Mike Kennedy had
been the lead singer of Los Bravos, and his “Louisianna” was a number 62 BB hit
that we’ll see go to number 14. “Mr. Penguin” by Lunar Funk sounds kind of what
you’d expect it to, and it will get to number 35 versus its number 63 national
peak. Sammy Davis Jr.’s “The Candy Man” was number one in Billboard for three
weeks, but here it’ll stop at number nine, though it will spend 14 weeks on the
survey. And since I’ve mentioned all the other debuts I might as well mention
Donny Osmond’s version of Paul Anka’s “Puppy Love,” number three in BB, number
one for two weeks here at KJR.
It seems to me that if you heard the top five songs here on
the radio consecutively it would be kind of jarring.
