Monday, October 12, 1964 Number Seventy Seven HIT OF THE WEEK: AIN*T THAT LOVING YOU BABY - Elvis Presley (RCA) Reported from all quarters of the South. Seems to be his biggest, so far this year. CORRESPONDENTS PICK: FOUR STRONG WINDS - Bobby Bare (RCA) I overlooked this one. Bob Reich-WEKR thinks it -will do as -well as his earlier hits. It’s a top five request at WPDQ-Jacksonville. Anyone in a market that accepts the ’grass country’ sound would be wise to hop on it. It’s a fine record. SURPRISE OF THE WEEK: HIGH KEET, SNEAKERS - Jerry Lee Lewis (Smash) Mostly jumping in the smaller markets, where he has never died. It is a top item at WHBQ-Memphis. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. His dynamic in-person appearances throughout Dixie, are always well supported at the record shops and on the juke boxes by his many fans. HOT ACTION RECORD; JUMP BACK - Rufus Thomas (Stax) Fred Correy-WRAP feels it will be his biggest hit to date. I hope you’ve been playing it..... if not, you’ve missed one of the really hot items in a very soft singles market. Tom Collins-WAPX says it’s one of the hottest sides in years. SMS CHOICE OF THE WEEK: LITTLE MARIE - Chuck Berry (Chess) I ’m certain this one will get split play....at first. But, you’ll save a mistake, by playing this side now.

I'M A LOSER - Beatles (Capitol) Recorded 10/3 and the label will rush it to you, follow­ ing its premiere on television IO/7 . A new chapter in Beatlemania begins with this release. Heretofore, their video appearances have high-lighted their established selections. For the present, we can look for a number one hit, from the hottest disc act of the day, but the fever of their fans is somewhat less than it was. Their minds are now occupied with Beatles and other things. At one stage of the game, it was just Beatles. An album will follow in November. Whether or not, with another picture, and talk of a spring tour of America, they can generate the hysterical state of '64 again in '65, remains as a question to be answered. This much can be said.... even the Beatles now look for a more orderly release of their records in this country. And before I forget, this record is one of their best. They continue to turn out grade A material. UNLESS YOU CARE - Terry Black (Tollie) Action for Bob Reich and Dick Reus. OGNI VOLTA - Paul Anka (RCA) Larry Gar-WLBG and Dick Lawrence-WFLA like it. SHE’S NOT THERE - Zombies (Parrot) Miami and Washington. Dick Reus-WDXY says that after several weeks, it's just warming up in Sumter, SC. HERE SHE COMES - Tymes (Parkway) May be worth your attention. Some picks. SHE UNDERSTANDS ME - Johnny Tillotson (MGM) It’s his groove. Frank Jolle is already getting some action on it in Nashville. NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK - Velvettes (VIP) Hot in Washington. Bears watching. WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM - Searchers (Kapp) If the group means something in your market, you might like to know, as of 10/8, it's the hottest side in England. #2 at WAIR and slips into the WPGC-Washington chart this week. DON’T EVER LEAVE ME - Connie Francis (MGM) Only exposure can tell.. .produced by the people who make the Red Bird and Raindrops' records. She wants a big hit badly and is willing to gamble With a new sound. For her! Connie is one artist who has always shown her gratitude to the disc-jockey. It’s one of the instances in which I feel the people in our industry should be somewhat obligated.
