March 2nd, 1970


The Top Three Records remain the same this week ... while "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)," "House Of The Rising Sun," "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" and "Kentucky Rain" continue to climb within The Top Ten.

Norman Greenbaum and John Lennon make big jumps this week as "Spirit In The Sky" and "Instant Karma" move from #'s 36 and 37 to #19 and 20 respectively. 


The rock group Smith, who scored big last year with their version of "Baby It's You," seem to have another hit on their hands as "Take A Look Around" moves from #38 to #25, a jump of 13 places.


Badfinger (now charting for the first time with their A-Side, "Come And Get It"), finally earn an asterisk as it moves from #32 to #28.


I like two of this week's chart premiers ... "Up The Ladder To The Roof" by the now Diana Ross-less Supremes and "Long Lonesome Highway," sung by TV's "Then Came Bronson" star, Michael Parks, which debuts at #40.  (This track also doubles as the TV show's theme song.)



You'll find two key Hit Bound tracks this week as well ...

The Beatles make the chart with "Let It Be" and The Friends Of Distinction have a new chart-bound hit with my all-time favorite by them, "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely."



PLEASE NOTE:  When we promised you a new Super 'CFL Chart every Sunday this year, we forgot to take into consideration that 2020 was a Leap Year ... and that 1970 was not.  
As such, MOST of this year's remaining charts will go up on the site on MONDAY instead in order to keep consistent with their original publishing date.
However, there will be a few instances throughout the year where the historical events of any given day might push our Monday date off course as well ...
But regardless, we WILL run EVERY WCFL Chart from every week of 1970 during our 2020 Fifty Year Flashback Salute.  (kk)
