Monday, December 21, 1964 Number Eighty Seven HIT OF THE WEEK; HOLD WHAT YOU GOT - Joe Tex (Dial) Solid smash throughout the South. Could be the biggest R & B hit to cross over this year. CORRESPONDENTS PICK; HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO YOUR HEART - Jerry Vale (Columbia) Larry Pate thinks it will be another "San Francisco", a la Tony Bennett. Already a top ten item for Rod Bernard. SURPRISE OF THE WEEK: ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME - Sandy Shaw (Reprise) Top ten in Miami, Dallas and Tuscaloosa. But, it's generally a big disappointment in Dixie. And shows few signs of making the grade, at least at this stage of the game. HOT ACTION RECORD: I WANT MY BABY BACK - Jimmy Cross (Tollie) This is considered an ’overnight' smash. Beecher Martin-WTAL’s entire staff refuses to play it. And controversy of this sort never hurts a hit. SMS CHOICE OF THE WEEK; EVER LOVING BOY/USE YOUR HEAD - Mary Wells (20th Fox) Either side will make the grade. One of her finest! SMS AT,-RUM OF THE WEEK-. MR. LONELY - Bobby Vinton (Epic) Label would like "Tina" to be forced out as his next single. "Laughing On The Outside" is also good. SOUTHERN TOP TWENTY 1. (1) FINE/WOMAN-Beatles (Cap) 11.
