Pick of the week: I'll go with Step by Step, just ahead of Teenage Sonata and Come Dance With Me. Some other goo-d-not-great singles in this batch, including some doo wop in Stolen Angel, Canadian content in Clap Your Hands, Appalachian content in Hazel, some fun with Scandinavian Shuffle and a creditable cover of You Don't Know Me. Even Greenfields isn't too bad if you're in the right mood.

KDWB (Minneapolis): Jim Reeves - He'll Have to Go

Pick of the week: Mountain of Love. I'll go with I Dreamed About My Lover for second spot, just ahead of a cluster of pretty decent singles: What's This I Hear (with not only later future leader of Bread David gates, but also Leon Russell), Mustapha, Just a Little Bit, Uncle Satchmo's Lullaby (yes, it's a duet with an annoying kid, but it's still Satch on the pop charts), Seemann, Ooh Poo Pah Doo and Love You So. And I might as well throw in the bizarro hit Banjo Boy, if only because of its sheer weirdness.

KDWB (Minneapolis): Johnny Tillotson - Why Do I Love You So

Pick of the week: Stuck on You, with Lonely Weekends a solid second and Good Timin' sharing third place with Barbara and Mister Lonely.

It's a bit odd this week. The Temptations who sang Barbara are not the same group who recorded for Motown, Mister Lonely is not the same song that was a big hit a little later in the 60s and Neil Sedaka is not singing a Led Zeppelin song. On the other hand, Lovey Dovey is the single that was an r&b hit in 1953, which is why it isn't pick of the week . . .

Pick of the week: At the top of the mountain of good songs from this batch are two brilliant singles, with Only the Lonely taking top spot by a hair over When Will I Be Loved. Behind them are a hatful of great tunes: Just for a Thrill, Please Help Me, I'm Falling, Moon Dawg, You've Got the Power and Above and Beyond. And behind them are a whole bunch more pretty cool tunes: A Six Pack to Go, Found Love, How far To Little Rock, Pinball Machine, Salade des fruits. A Cottage for Sale, Lonely Winds, Another, Pilou Pilou he, Dreamin', Ooh! What a Day, Who'll Buy the Wine, Why I'm Walkin', That's My Kind of Love, Accidentally on Purpose, Heartbreak, Lover's Leap, Seasons of My Heart and a nifty cover of I'll Be Seeing You. Part of this is because I found a bunch of charts I didn't have before, but part of it is just because it was a good week for music.
