More Top Songs from March of 1967

I'm looking at Dave McAleer's "Book of Hit Singles" right now. He lists Billboards top twenty songs for both the US and UK for every month from 1954 to 2001.

Here are some other US hits not on Bob Stroud's show.

BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING-- JOHNNY RIVERS-- Got a song you want covered?
RUBY TUESDAY-- ROLLING STONES
THEN YOU CAN TELL ME GOODBYE-- CASINOS-- Well, actually Bob did this as an intro to one of the sets.
MY CUP RUNNETH OVER-- ED AMES-- Oh, he's S-O-O-O Happy.
