October 20th

Before we look at the biggest climbers on the chart this week, let's address the record that took the biggest fall.  "I Had A Dream" by Paul Revere and the Raiders dropped from #35 to #93 … that's 58 places on the chart!!!  Wow!  (And I really like that song, too!)  



On the upswing (with a move of ten positions or more) are "Even The Bad Times Are Good" by The Tremeloes (#53 to #42), "Everlasting Love" by Robert Knight (#60 to #43), "I Can See For Miles" by The Who (up 25 places from #71 to #46), "King Midas In Reverse" by The Hollies (#58 to #47), "Pata Pata" by Miriam Makeba (up 32 places from #80 to #48 … I just love the feel of this record), "Kentucky Woman" by Neil Diamond (which climbs 34 spots from #84 to #50), "Rock 'n' Roll Woman" by Buffalo Springfield (#65 to #51), "Beg, Borrow And Steal" by The Ohio Express (#69 to #56), "Big Boss Man" by Elvis Presley (#91 to #57), which places it just a couple spots ahead of its B-Side "You Don't Own Me" (#86 to #59), "Shout Bamalama" by Mickey Murray (#76 to #58), "Lazy Day" by Spanky and Our Gang (#89 to #60, a jump of 29 spots), "Hush" by Billy Joe Royal (#85 to #70), "If This Is Love" by The Precisions (#83 to #71), "Boogaloo Down Broadway" by The Fantastic Johnny C (#90 to #73), "What've I Done To Make You Mad" by Linda Jones (#95 to #75) and "Give Everybody Some" by The Bar-Kays (#99 to #80).
