All six debuts were Billboard top 40 hits. Nothing too dramatic as far as differences between Seattle and the rest of the country—the most significant is for Neil Diamond’s “Song Sung Blue,” a number one national hit that will stop at number eight for us. The others: “It’s Going to Take Some Time” by the Carpenters (12BB/15KJR), “Isn’t Life Strange” by the Moody Blues (29/39), the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There” (1/5), Jo Jo Gunne’s “Run Run Run” (27/26), and “Mister Can’t You See” by Buffy Sainte-Marie (38/48).
