Looks
like we called this one right last week … as we head into March, The Supremes
take over the top spot on this week's Super Chart as "Love Is Here And Now
You're Gone" displaces "Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones
after just one week.
We've
only got two new entries into this week's Top Ten … "Baby, I Need Your
Lovin'" by Johnny Rivers jumps from #15 to #8 and "Sock It To Me,
Baby" by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels climbs from #13 to #10.
Other
bullets within The Top 40 include "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" by Cannonball
Adderley (up from #16 to #12), "My Cup Runneth Over" by Ed Ames (up
from #20 to #14), "There's A Kind Of Hush" by Herman's Hermits (up
from #33 to #17), "Darling Be Home Soon" by The Lovin' Spoonful (up
to #18 from #32), "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game" by The
Marvelettes (up to #20 from #25), "For What It's Worth" by The
Buffalo Springfield (up from #28 to #22), "Happy Together" by The
Turtles (first week in The Top 40, leaping from #44 to #27), "Penny
Lane" by The Beatles, now passing "Strawberry Fields Forever"
with a 34 point jump from #62 to #28 ... meanwhile "Strawberry Fields
Forever" climbs from #49 to #30 ... "Dedicated To The One I Love"
by The Mamas and the Papas" climbs 24 places from #55 to #31, "Niki
Hoeky" by P.J. Proby enters the Top 40 for the first time, climbing from
#41 to #34, "California Nights" by Lesley Gore is up ten places (from
#45 to #35) while Tommy James and the Shondells are up eleven spots (from #48
to #37) with "I Think We're Alone Now". (This record has already hit #1 here in Chicago!) Paul Revere and the Raiders climb 16 spots
(from #56 to #40), a great showing after their Top Ten Hit "Good
Thing".
The
Monkees continue their run at the top of the album chart as "More Of The
Monkees" notches its fourth week in the #1 position. Meanwhile, Don Kirshner is officially
dismissed today as music coordinator for The Monkees and head of Colgems
Records. This move has been building for
some time as The Monkees wanted to assume creative control of their music.
Smokey
Robinson and the Miracles perform three songs on "Where The Action
Is" this afternoon: "The Love
I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage", "The Hard Times" and "A
Well Respected Man".
