The Doobie Brothers’ version of “Jesus is Just Alright” was just alright nationally, peaking at number 35 in Billboard, but we’ll see it get to number eight here. “Dueling Banjos” by Weissberg and Mandell, from the movie Deliverance, spent four weeks at number two in BB, stuck behind Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” but here it’ll get to number one for a week. That leaves three more debuts: “The World is a Ghetto” by War (7BB/24KJR), “Could it Be I’m Falling in Love” by the Spinners (4/10), and Elvis Presley’s “Separate Ways” (20/35).
