Monday, October 5, 1964 Number Seventy Six HIT OF THE WEEK; LITTLE HONDA. - Hondells (Mercury) Strong enough to reach the top spot. It has all but completely buried the competition. CORRESPONDENTS POPULAR PICK: AIN’T THAT LOVING YOU BABY/ASK ME - Elvis Presley (RCA) The ballad will be the hit this time. It was recorded earlier this year. The rock side is several years old, though previously unreleased. It was cut along with "A Fool Such As I" and "I Got Stung." His millions of fans, who will swear ’til their dying days he is better than the Beatles, are being given an unfair disadvantage this year, with the re lease of ’canned’ sides. "Never Ending" was cut with "Devil In Disguise". And now this one. Why? SURPRISE OF THE WEEK: TORTURE - Everly Brothers (WB) Label feels the flip has captured the group’s old sound. But, the re-do of the Kris Jensen song is not to be overlooked as their best chance for a comeback. It stands heads and shoulders above the other side. HCT ACTION RECORD: BABY LOVE - Supremes (Motown) It took them nine records to hit the top spot. Their tenth is red-hot, in the same path. SIC CHOICE OF THE WEEK: LEADER OF THE PACK - ShangriLas (Red Bird) Already a top request at WPGC-Washington and WQXI-Atlanta. Two in a row and this could easily be bigger than their first. SMS ALBUM OF THE WEEK: HEY GIRL DON’T BOTHER ME - Tams (ABC) "Silly Little Girl" will be the new single. Due in about ten days. SOUTHERN TOP TWENTY 1. (1) PRETTY WOMAN-Roy Orbison (Mon) 11.
