INTRODUCING THE WALKER BROTHERS (Smash) "My Ship Is Cornin’ In" will be their new entry, due shortly as a single. Already top ten in England. RUBBER SOUL - Beatles (Capitol) "Michelle" and "Girl" are the strong ballad cuts.

YOU - Johnny & Expressions (josie) Top 5 at WAOK and KAFE. Good R & B tip, that can easily go strong pop, in Dixie. RECOVERY - Fontella Bass (Chess) Chattanooga and Rome take-off.
