Previous week position in parenthesis.
Who says the Twin Cities didn't
dig Doo-Wops. Play it, and if it's good the people will buy it.
Note Little Caesar &
the Romans' jump from #40 to #12 this week. The Regents,
originators of "Barbara Ann", make their debut with her
at #34, on its way into the top ten. Dee Clark, #4, sang with the
Cool Gents in the mid 50's.
