Yes, that Mike Douglas. "It's My Life" by The Animals jumped from 19 to 12. "A Well Respected Man" by The Kinks went from Sure Shot to 26.
Actually, I see that song by The Packers is #31. I'd swear I've never heard the song, but maybe I did. I just put it on and I'm sure now that I never heard it. Good instrumental, though.
I don't remember those either, Jeff.i sure do remember In the Midnight Hour, but not Little Mac (which sounds like a kid's meal). My favorite of those you list is easily Sounds of Silence, followed by the Byrds song.

The Princetons? The Packers? Little Mac?
Were these people living in an alternate universe?

Mike Douglas had hit records at the same time as the Beatles? That's mind-blowing!
There was variety on radio in those days. Now nobody knows what radio is, and only a few of us remember what it was.
