NOTES: In the R&B top 40 listing, you will find there are eight (8) Detroit Motown singles and note as well a single by Detroit’s own Edwin Starr on the Ric-Tic label. Motown? In a sense, it is. The Motown house band — Funk Brothers — they incorporated their Motown brand, having backed Starr’s hottest Ric-Tic single to date, “Agent 00-Soul.”
Also, the Rolling Stones made the R&B charts as well, with their Billboard pop charted #1 hit, “Satisfaction”, having climbed to #19.
In the R&B top 10 LP’s, four Motown names and groups comprised the list. And finally, it bears noting Billy Preston, a (little-known) Vee Jay artist at the time, his album hits #5.
In the Top R&B DJ ‘Pick of the Week’ bracket, WCHB Bill Williams selected his two soul “up-and coming” singles. By the Radiants and by Jimmy Williams.
