REVIEW AND COMMENT

I FEEL GOOD ALL OVER - Harry & Galaxies (Laurie) Hot number for Sid Wilson, Tom Walker and Dick Reus. BALLAD OF IRVING - Frank Gallop (Kapp) Paul Miller, Tom Walker, Mike Hammer, and Tommy White report strong phone action. THE A TEAM - Sgt. Barry Sadler (RCA) Two days of heavy play at WQXI produced no calls. LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART - Bachelors (London) A good side that's trying hard. Has good air support, which may pull it through. LET ME BE GOOD TO YOU - Carla Thomas (Stax) Breaking pop in Memphis and Atlanta. A LOVER'S CONCERTO - Sarah Vaughan (Mercury) A top tip for you from Dick Reus. BACK TO NEW ORLEANS - U.S. Bonds (Legrand) #1 request at WKIX-Raleigh. GLORIA - Them (Parrot) Re-issued. This version at KEYS and WWDR. BAND OF GOLD - Mel Carter (imperial) Only action reported, is at WACO. A smoother side that could surprise. PETER RABBIT - D. J. & Runaways (Smash) Dick Reus and Tommy White indicate hit potential with strong initial reaction on their phones. BABY - Lavem Baker (Brunswick) Producing strong requests for Tommy Walker. GIRL, IT'S ALRIGHT NOW - Bruce & Terry (Columbia) Already some action on it in the Carolinas. A very commercial pop sound. RAINY DAY WOMEN #12 & 35 - Bob Dylan (Columbia) Smashing in Miami. YOU COULDN'T GET MY LOVE BACK - Leroy Van Dykes (Warner Brothers) Atlanta, Sumter and Nashville. GOODBYE MY LOVE - Keely Smith (Reprise) #2 for Wayne Edwards at WGOG. NOTHING’S TOO GOOD FOR MY BABY - Stevie Wonder (Tamla) Slow. Flip is more in the groove for the R & B stations. I prefer it. A EASKET OF FLOWERS - Nightcrawlers (Kapp) Florida giant, now hitting in South Georgia and South Carolina. THE SUN AIN'T GONNA SHINE - The Walker Brothers (Smash) One of the most played sides. #1 in England, which means very little today. The strong British artists on the American charts do less and less over there. EIGHT MILES HIGH - Byrds (Columbia) Somewhat of a question-mark. Not a "Turn Turn Turn," but not the dud their previous single turned out to be. Does that make any sense?

...and for those who have requested this, the mover-uppers this week at WQXI:

Top side from the album THE SOUL ALBUM - Otis Redding (Volt) "Good To Me" may be his .next single. It's a tough item that will break R&B, and them move onto the pop charts. LOOK TO THE RAINBOW - Astrud Gilberto (Verve) The title song and "Berimbou." THE KINK KONTROVERSY (Reprise) Good sound on "I’m On An Island." (Their next release is "Dedicated Follower of Fashion," not from the LP. THOSE STONEMANS (MGM) New group, and quite a sound! Think there's a potential hit in "That’s The Chance I ’ll Have To Take." Especially in the South. THE LOVE YOU SAVE - Joe Tex (Dial) "Don’t Let Your Left Hand Know" puts him into a new bag....and he could use a new setting! IT’S MAGIC - Barbara Lewis (Atlantic) "He’s So Bad." THE TEMPTIN' TEMPTATIONS (Gordy) "Just Another Lonely Night" is still a top request item in the Carolinas. DAYDREAM - Lovin' Spoonful (Kama Sutra) "Let The Boy Rock And Roll" is best. AND I KNOW YOU WANNA DANCE - Johnny Rivers (imperial) "That Lovin' Feeling" is a good request number at WQXI. FRANKIE AND JOHNNY - Elvis Presley (RCA) He is to today's generation what Bing was back twenty years ago. Mosty corn, but "Hard Luck" comes close to sounding like the Elvis of old. THE WONDROUS WORLD OF SONNY & CHER (Atco) Still think "Leave Me Be" is best, but Bonotalel fans will like "I Look At You." DIONNE WARWICK IN PARIS (Scepter) Jess Branson-WSNT reports good action on "What’d I Say." 1 Bonotale: Once upon a time there were a man and woman named Sonny and Cher, who were husband and rife, and they lived happily ever after.
