"No Time" by The Guess Who takes over the #1 spot this week on the WCFL chart ... and Mark Lindsay's first solo hit, "Arizona," continues to climb, moving from #10 to #4.
The biggest mover of the week belongs to The Jaggerz, whose debut single, "The Rapper," leaps all the way from #39 to #16, a move of 23 places! (Lead vocalist Donnie Iris would go on to have three Top 40 solo hits in the '80's.)
Brook Benton is enjoying his first (and only) WCFL chart hit with "Rainy Night In Georgia," up 14 places from #31 to #17. This will prove to be a HUGE comeback hit for this smooth-voiced singer.
Other movers of note this week include "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies (#23 to #12), "Travelin' Band" by Creedence Clearwater Revival (or for space issues, C.C.Revival!), #22 to #13 and R.B. Greaves' version of "Always Something There To Remind Me" (#37 to #28). (By the way, you'll find the flipside of CCR's latest hit premiering at #31 down below.)
Neil Diamond seems to be competing against himself these days ... last week's chart showed the premier of "Shiloh" from his old label, Bang Records ... which falls off the chart this week (don't worry ... it'll be back!) ... only to be replaced by Neil's latest single for Uni Records, "Until It's Time For You To Go."
Glen Campbell's got the highest charting premier of the week with "Honey Come Back" (#26), never one of my favorites by him ... while the milestone new release by Simon and Garfunkel, "Bridge Over Troubled Water," debuts at #33.
Elvis has another comeback hit on the Hit Bound list with "Kentucky Rain," which is joined (ironically enough) by a new song by Bobby Sherman called "Easy Come, Easy Go," which was the title of one of Elvis' recent movies!
