YOUNG GIRL-- UNION GAP-- Talk about your soaring solos!!
HONEY-- BOBBY GOLDSBORO-- If there ever was a GAG song, thi's be it.
LOVE IS BLUE-- PAUL MAURIAT-- Almost as GAG as Bobby.
COWBOYS TO GIRLS-- INTRUDERS-- Sure liked this one.
PLAYBOY-- GENE AND DEBBE-- Never heard of this one, however.
TOP TWENTY UK CHARTS (Again, those not played by Stroud.)
#1 for the month was "CONGRATULATIONS" by Cliff Richard, who never made the mark on American charts that he did in England.
DELILAH-- TOM JONES-- Second favorite TJ song behind that dirty 'ol "What's New Pussycat?" Also liked "She's a Lady."
IF I WERE A CARPENTER-- FOUR TOPS-- Move over Bobby Darrin. Done souls style.
JENNIFER ECCLES-- HOLLIES-- One of my favorite Hollies songs.
CINDERELLA ROCKEFELLER-- ESTHER AND ABI OFARIM (Huh?)
OF INTEREST:
## Archie Bell was still in the army when he first cut "Tighten Up" back in 1964. This was originally recorded as a throw-away instrumental.
# Pink Floyd, T-Rex, and Jethro Tull appeared at the first free concert at London's Hyde Park.
