March 9th, 1970


"Bridge Over Troubled Water" holds down the #1 spot for the FOURTH consecutive week as Frijid Pink peaks at #2 with their heavy metal version of the old blues classic "House Of The Risiing Sun."  "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes" by Edison Lighthouse is also vying for the #1 position.

The biggest movers this week belong to Aretha Franklin ("Call Me") and The Archies (with "Who's Your Baby?")  Both climb up fifteen places this week to land at #'s 20 and 22 
respectively.

Tommy Roe and The Supremes are doing just fine, too, this week, as their records climb from #36 to #23 for "Stir It Up And Serve It" and from #38 to #26 for "Up The Ladder To The Roof."

The Beatles officially make the chart this week as "Let It Be" premiers at #27 ... and The Jackson Five are back with another catchy tune, "ABC."  It debuts at #34.

And check out this week's Hit Bound track ...

Why it's "Vehicle" by The Ides Of March ... a song and group that we've given HUNDREDS of mentions to over the years.  And, incredibly, fifty years later, they're still going strong..  (Actually, these guys have been together since 1964 ... so they are now in their 56th year with all four of the original members still on board!)

 

Also on this date ...
