Tommy Roe’s “Hooray For Hazel” jumps to number one from number 20 (and number 44 the week before).  Meanwhile, two more Beatles LP tracks from Revolver, “Here, There and Everywhere” and “Taxman,” debut at number six and 27 respectively, as “Yellow Submarine” plunges off the survey from number 12.

All the rest of the eleven debuts were top 40 BB hits, though one won’t be for several months yet.  Janis Ian’s “Society’s Child” went nowhere nationally on its initial release, though it’ll get to number 38 here in a couple of weeks.  It’ll be back in the spring, when it’ll get to number 14 in Billboard and number three here.  The quartets of Tops and Seasons will not do as well here as nationally with their records debuting this week; “Reach Out I’ll Be There,” a number one BB hit, will reach number ten here, while the new version of old standard “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” which was number nine in Billboard, will stall at number 33 at KJR.

All six debuts were Hot 100 hits.  Just barely, for “The Other Side of This Life” by Peter, Paul & Mary, which peaked there at number 100 and will peak here at its debut position of 36.  “Cry Softly” by folk-pop singer and occasional actress Nancy Ames does slightly better in both charts, getting to number 95 in Billboard and number 34 here.  Ramsey Lewis, no longer with the Ramsey Lewis Trio, made it to number 19 in BB with his version of “Wade in the Water,” but it will get no higher here than this week’s number 46 position.
