What a terrific week for Andy Williams! Number 1 and Number 10, two separate albums. At that point "Moon River & Other Great Movie Themes" had already been on the chart for over a year and it was still in the top 10! Along with other long-termers "West Side Story" and "Peter, Paul & Mary."
Andy's success back then explains his perennial presence at every Goodwill and Salvation Army story in the world today. Because a lot of his fans who were buying LPs back then are now dead. His albums are everywhere!
Just looking again, Peter, Paul & Mary have two albums on the top 10 too.
The Elvis album at number 4, "It Happened At The World's Fair" is an LP you never see these days. I don't think I've ever seen one at Goodwill. His LPs are not usually there, maybe because people have the suspicion that they're collectable. They are, of course. The ones I do see are always beat to death ... and they're not collectable.
The album at number 9 is the one with Frank Fontaine's goofy character's face on the front, Crazy Guggenheim. I've had it, maybe I still do somewhere. And I saw it in the bins at some point in the last six months.
All in all, it was a great week for Andy! And several others.
