Helen Reddy--I Am Woman
|
Johnny Nash shoots up to higher ground and can see clearly
now from number three.
People got tired of Bobby Vinton’s “Sealed With a Kiss” in a
hurry—two weeks ago it peaked at number ten, last week it was 18, now it’s
gone.
Seven debuts this week, all of which got at least slightly
higher here than nationally, except for Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman,” a number
one BB hit that will stop at number six. The others: “No” by NY rock group
Bulldog (44/24), the Eagles’ “Witchy Woman” (9/1), Lobo’s “I’d Love You to Want
Me” (2/1), “Starting All Over Again” by Mel & Tim (19/10), “Can’t You Hear
the Song?” by Wayne Newton (48/30), and the National Lampoon’s parody of “Desiderata,”
“Deteriorata” (91/38).
