Well looking at the top ten this.week we see that there has been a few changes*
After but seven weeks on the charts and picked as one of the tunes to flop, but
with the help of yours truly (AFRS ), it has made it's bid for the top spot on
the charts, that is none, other than Larry Verne and his MR*. CUSTER, Dropping
Connie Francis' MY HEART HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN to the number three position;
Sam Cook's CHAIM GANG, number two. The major jump was made by Brenda Lee and
I WANT TO BE WANTED.

82. HUMDINGER

87. EVERGLADES
89. SERENATA

Seems as if that for every one top hit on the charts, there is one standing by
just in case, with some having as many as three.
Bubbling under the Hot One Hundred, and my pick to storm the tops - The Fleet
woods’ LAST ONE TO KNOW (Dolton).
This weeks spotlight winner and a strong potential are by a girl who has not
been arounc. for.a while, Miss Darnita Jo and I'LL SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR YOU,
a Mercury recording. This is the answer to the Drifters’ hit and It’s the best
performance by her since I WENT TO YOUR WEDDING years back. Could be a smash.
The flip side is FORGIVE.
That’s about it for this week, so until next week stay tuned to AFRS Radio for
the best in all types of music.
