Well that's how they shape up this week. The biggest jump was made by the
Drifters with their recording of "There Goes My Baby" on the Alantio label* The
Drifters used to record with Clyde McFhattor.
We notice that Fats Domino is doing very well this week with his "I*m Gonna Be
A Wheel Someday," This is it's first time on the chart, and it jumped on in the
number 67 spot* This was my pick hit for last week#
Elvis Presloy and Rickey Nelson -are doing fine with their new cuts* Elvis is
on top now with his number 8 recording of "A Big hunk 0* Love*" After that, Rickey
has the number 16 and 17 tunes which are "Just A Little Too Much," & "Sweeter Than
You," We think that all the above songs will go higher in the next week and in
about three weeks you will see Elvis and Rick / on top of the pile*
You country music fans will be glad to hear 'hat the new recording by the Browns
is in the #63 place this week® This is the fir t woek on the oharts for "The Three
Bells" on the RCA Victor recording label*
My personal pick hit for this week is "I'm Gonna Get Married," an ABC Paramount
cut by Lloyd Price. His big hit of "Personality" is starting to fall* Another
rooord to watch is ’’Kissin’ Timo,t by Bobby Rydel*
This weok wo look into the story behind tho vocal
group known as the Kingston Trio* It all began when
Dave Guard, a graduate of Stanford, Joined Menlo
College pals, Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds, because
of their interest in various native rhythms, San
Francisoo publicist Frank Werbor caught their act
and was immediately attracted to the three 21 •'■year
olds* He sont them to a voice and drama coach and
within a short time they were being booked in top
night spots® They now record for Capitolo Their
favorite artists are Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra, and
the Four Freshmen*
Well, it* s hero and can be heard every day on
Rhythm Revue and Night Train# Why of oourse it*s
the 3o Diddley Machine* Until next time—bo cool*
