Many of *6R’s British hit makers are experiencing declining American sales on each successive release. The Beatles included. The English sound is not on the way out, but for the remainder of this year, will occupy a less dominant position on the American charts. HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE - Patti Page (Columbia) Continues to build in Nashville, Savannah, Sumter and Raleigh. BABY I ’M YOURS - Barbara Lewis (Atlantic) A top request smash at WPDQ. LOUIE LOUIE - Kingsmen (Wand) #1 at WMBR. Top ten for Woody Windham. Their newest re lease has taken off in Charlotte. Knoxville and Charleston. VOODOO WOMAN - Bobby Goldsboro (UA) Sid Wilson, Dick Starr and Harry Chapman hear hit. Ron Lane likes the flip. GEORGIE PORGIE - Jewel Akens (Era) Pick at WFLA, WHSL, and WKLO. The flip is preferred at WHBQ. BOO GA LOO - Tom & Jerrio (ABC) Hit action for Stan Smith and Me Kinley Williams. An obnoxious sounding item, that unfortunately is top twenty bound. WALKIN' - Jimmy Jones (Roulette) Requests at WJJM and WEKR. LAURIE - Dickie Lee (TCF) Fast takeoff for Howard Anderson, Larry James. Mitch Michael, Robert Randall. Bob Ritter reports renewed interest in Augusta for "Patches," but the Smash distributor has received no dealer orders. 26 Monday, April , 1965 -3- Number One Hundred Five DIXIE ROUND-UP PICKS ACTION COMER BOB DRIGGERS WXAL Tickets/YesTickets/Yes ItIt Is-Is- Ticket/Yes Ticket/Yes ItIt Is-Is- Mrs. Jones- DSiOPOLIS AIABAi-IA__ Beatles_(Cag)______B_eatles (Cag)______Detergents_( Rou)_ HAMP SWAIN WIBB Back In My Arms- Tell The Truth- Nothing Can Stop Me MACON GEORGIA ______Supreme_s _^MotJl______Bermy_Davis_(Sal)______-Gene Chandler(Cns_2 BOB REICH WEKR In Paradise- True Love Ways- — Ginger- — — FAYETTEVILIE_TEI']N__ Showmen_(Swa)______PeterSfiordon _^Cap_2 Sandy & Troy (Mon) BERNIE BARKER WDAK You Turn Me On- MrsT Brown-- — " The 7lous"e- COLlMBUS_GEORGIA____ Ian_Whitcomb J^Tow)____ Herman1 s Hermits _(MGM)_ _ Soupj Sales DICK BLANCHARD WMBR Help Me Rhonda- True Love Ways- Baby i"*m Yours- JACIffiOT^Lj^_FLOMM^Beach_Boys _^Cap|____ Peter&Gordon _^Cap_)______Barbara Lewis _(Atl| HOWARD ANDERSON WEED Laurie- It’s Not Unusual- No- HOCKT MOUNT NC______Dickie Lee _(TCF)____ Tom_Jones_(Par)______Little_Indians_(Cht) GROVER HUCKABEE WJHO Help Me Rhonda Mrs. Brown- Tiger A Go Go- OPEIJKA ALABAMA ____ -Beach Boys_(Cap)_____Herman's Hermits _(m GM) ___ Buzz_&_Bucky (Amy)_ LARRY GAR WLBG Wooly Bully- - Baby The Rain- Clapping Song- IAURENS SC______Sam_The_Sham ___Glenn Yarbrough_(RCA)___ Shirley Ellis _(Cng_) Slli WILSON WHSL Voodoo Woman- Concrete And Clay- - Georgie Porgie- TOipniTGTON_NC______Bobby_Goldsboro (UA^ _Eddie_Rambeau_(Dyn)______Jewel Akens j[Era^ DICK BUCKLEY WKDA Engine Engine $9- Mrs. Brown-•• — — Concrete And Clay- NASHVILIR T E M ______Roger_Miller j[SmaJ___ Herman's Hermits _(MGM_)___ Unit_U_Plus 2 _(Lon| STAN SMITH WISE Boo Ga Loo- Homesick Blues- — For Your- Love- AaffimiR NC______Tom_&_Jerrio J^ABC) _ _Bob %lan__(Col)______Yardbirds _ JIM TRAVIS WJJM Mrs. Jones Don’t Stop Yeh Yeh Yeh LEWES BURG TENN______-Detergent s_ (Rou)_____-Hullaba1:loos_ (Rou)______-Lorie_Burton X r °h 1 JOHNNY LONG WQSN Back In My Arms- Concrete and Clay- "ihe Climb- CHARLEBTON_SC______Suprernes X M o t } ______Unit h Plus_2_(Lon)______Kingsmen_(Wan)_ BILL N MORRIS WCDT Melancholie- Whipped Cream- — Long Walk Home- jOTCffi!£TER_TIOT____ Arnold Johnson XAtc_) _Ti juana_Bra_ss_( A&M)______Floyd _Cramer_(RCA)_ RANDY SCOTT WCAW Wishing It Was You- Wooly Bully- Mrs. Brown- _CHAIHESTON_WEST VA_ _ Connie Francis XMGM_2 _Sam_The_Sham XM ® i l ______Herman/s_HermitsX m g M MORE REVIEW AND COMMENT IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE IN LOVE - Ovations (GW) George Wilson's tip of several weeks ago is creating noise at WAOK, KYOK, WTHB, and WLOK.
