As mentioned, this is continuing a regular series I started nearly 2 years ago, and whilst this particular week it happens to be exactly where a new combi-chart is, and these charts will be used to contribute to it, it was not done for that purpose and soon this one will be way ahead of the combi-chart.
I have slowed down slightly as we reached the later years so I don't know if I can complete 1970 by the end of 2017, however I should at least manage to complete 1969 and thus ths 60s.
I do one topic per year and so this is the first chart for 1967.
7 January 1967:
1 ( 1 ) I'm A Believer - Monkees < 2nd week at #1 > 2 ( 3 ) I Feel Free - Cream 3 ( 8 ) Georgy Girl - Seekers 4 ( 5 ) Happy Jack - Who 5 ( 2 ) That's Life - Frank Sinatra (#1[2]) 6 ( 4 ) Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett (#4) 7 ( 12 ) Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix 8 ( 15 ) Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding 9 ( 7 ) Snoopy vs The Red Baron - Royal Guardsmen (#7) 10 ( 11 ) Standing In The Shadows Of Love - Four Tops

21 ( -- ) 98.6 - Keith 22 ( 18 ) I Need Somebody - ? & The Mysterians (#15) 23 ( -- ) (How Can We) Hang On To A Dream - Tim Hardin 24 ( 14 ) Mellow Yellow - Donovan (#1[2]) 25 ( 36 ) Colour My World - Petula Clark 26 ( 16 ) A Hazy Shade Of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel (#3) 27 ( 28 ) Tell It To The Rain - Four Seasons 28 ( -- ) Run To The Door - Clinton Ford 29 ( 25 ) Tell It Like It Is - Aaron Neville (#25) 30 ( -- ) There's Got To Be A Word! - Innocence
31 ( 27 ) Words Of Love - Mamas & The Papas (#27) 32 ( 21 ) There Won't Be Many Coming Home - Roy Orbison (#13) 33 ( 20 ) Mame - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass (#8) 34 ( 23 ) Under New Management - Barron Knights (#15) 35 ( 35 ) Island In The Sun - Righteous Brothers 36 ( 26 ) Sugar Town - Nancy Sinatra (#21) 37 ( 31 ) It's Only Love - Tommy James & The Shondells (#28) 38 ( 29 ) Missy Missy - Paul and Barry Ryan (#23) 39 ( -- ) Where Will The Words Come From - Gary Lewis & The Playboys 40 ( -- ) Gallant Men - Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen

And now I will run over and paste this chart also in the combi-chart topic.

As we get into a new year, we have only a few new ones this week but there is a big one as Cat Stevens gets his 2nd hit, with an unchanged top 3 to try to break into. The Move get a decent climb too and hope to make more progress next week.

From the two playlists of 1967 it is shaping up to be a great year.
The Beatles will soon be back with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever. They won't be competing with Engelbert Humperdinck for #1, but as well as competing with each other, they will also have to beat off this competition (in no particular order):
Turtles - Happy Together Alan Price Set - Simon Smith & His Amazing Dancing Bear Whistling Jack Smith - I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman Wilson Pickett - Everybody Needs Somebody To Love Herman's Hermits - There's A Kind Of Hush Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth Hollies - On A Carousel
Those 9 songs are all on my playlist that covers 4 weeks (the 7 above plus the 2 Beatles songs). And there are others I haven't listed.

I have a weekend and Monday for creating my first top 20 of 1967. Most possible #1 is "Single Girl" by Sandy Posey.

My chart above is very male-dominated. The Seekers have female singers in them, otherwise it's Petula Clark languishing at #25 who is the highest placed solo female. You stated that song is your Christmas #1 of 1966 but not still there for the start of January?
Is also have Nancy Sinatra in my first chart of 1967 way down at #36 having peaked at a lowly #21, and Michelle Phillips and "Mama" Cass Elliot as the only other females present in the chart.

-- ( -- ) I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) - Electric Prunes -- ( -- ) Let Me Cry On Your Shoulder - Ken Dodd
Another week into 1967 where Cat Stevens gets to #1, replacing the song he didn't manage to replace in the UK chart when he got stuck at #2.
The highest new entry is the 2nd solo hit for Paul Jones following "High Time", and having previously sung for Manfred Mann.
A title as innocent as "Let's Spend The Night Together" got this song banned by the BBC...
Bob Crowe's hit is an instrumental, and later in the year Andy Williams will have a vocal hit with it. I'll see if I consider that different enough to chart. Bob Crowe didn't write this song, but he did co-write a song that was a hit for Andy Williams too a year later. However for that song, I will only be charting the original... His usual partner is Gaudio and they work with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
The next entry is called Wack Wack but it sounded like they sing Quack Quack... Then finally a solo female singer enters at #29, and a better known one at #33, while Sam The Sham get more hits - they've had a lot of them other than Wooly Bully..

-- ( -- ) Mercy Mercy Mercy - Cannonball Adderley -- ( -- ) Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye - Casinos
A second week at #1 for Cat Stevens, with the Seekers ending a run of weeks at #3 by climbing to #2, and Paul Jones looking menacing with a big climb.
The highest new entry is a duet for Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston and written by William Stevenson who worked with Marvin Gaye and was married to Kim Weston. In the UK this was the 4th charting single for Marvin Gaye and went top 20, the first time he had peaked higher than #49. In my chart he has had several hits before, with "Once Upon A Time" (with Mary Wells) so far giving him his highest peak of #3. The song was covered later by Rod Stewart with Tina Turner (and next week another song Rod Stewart covered is due to enter).
In 1966 we had the Who doing "I'm A Boy", and recently the Monkees "I'm A Believer", and now we have "I'm A Man". This bluesish rock song was surprisingly also covered by Chicago... I think that was before Peter Cetera joined them.
An interesting "cover" of "The Beat Goes On" too for the All Seeing I in 1998.
That makes "Peek-A-Boo" the highest entry in this chart that I don't know of anyone having covered, not successfully anyway. This is now the real New Vaudeville Band having been put together by Geoff Stephens and Alan "Tristram, Earl of Cricklewood" Klein is the vocalist on it. The song would reach #7 in the UK chart.

Just compiled my 14th Jan chart, but not bothering with playlists just going to play the new entries into the UK chart and Billboard top 50 and pick the best each week, funny how different our charts are already but I will favour rockier bands,Motown and anything a bit weird and psychedelic, the crooners and rocknrollers may struggle for me.

-- ( -- ) Love Is Here And Now You're Gone - Supremes -- ( -- ) Go Where You Wanna Go - 5th Dimension
Cat Stevens stays a 3rd week at #1 with Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston providing a challenge to the top as Paul Jones fails to make any progress. The Rolling Stones also fail to make progress with "Let's Spend The Night Together" but are now more likely to challenge with "Ruby Tuesday".
As well as having the #1, Cat Stevens also wrote the 2nd highest entry, which has been recorded by the Tremeloes without Brian Poole. Maybe hard to imagine the Tremeloes without their lead singer. A bit like the Wurzels without Adge Cutler...
In between the Left Banke follow up "Walk Away Renee" with "Pretty Ballerina".
Charlie Chaplin's an actor, of course, and pretty popular but he has a hidden talent in songwriting, and wrote "This Is My Song" for "A Countess In Hong Kong" and that gives Petula Clark her latest hit.

Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston' Motown hit gets to #1. Good news really as so many Motown hits have fallen just short in the last year. The keep the Rolling Stones out for now, and of course Rod Stewart has covered both of the top 2, the #1 duetting with Tina Turner.
As well as the Rolling Stones having two hits in the top 10, Cat Stevens also has one hit and wrote another one as the Tremeloes are climbing. (He also recorded it). The highest new entry is by Herman's Hermits, a song written by Geoff Stephens (with Les Reed) and previously recorded by the New Vaudeville Band, and a much better song than Peek-A-Boo, which only manages a one place climb to #15 this week.
Adding to that list Neil Diamond gets an entry this week whilst the song he wrote that got to #1 for the Monkees is still in the chat.
The first few words of the Walker Brothers hit match those of a britpop classic...

The Beatles will soon be back with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever. They won't be competing with Engelbert Humperdinck for #1, but as well as competing with each other, they will also have to beat off this competition (in no particular order): With some 30+ (or even better 40+) years old female voters Engelbert Humperdinck could be a strong contender in our combined chart.

B-sides are only eligible for this chart if they reached the US Billboard top 40. I don't recall seeing that song.

Next week looks like it will be the Beatles vs the Stones for the top.
The #1 was covered in the 1970s by Melanie and in the 1990s by Rod Stewart. The #2 was covered by the Carpenters in the 1970s, The #3 was covered by Rod Stewart & Tina Turner in 1990. The #4 was covered by Candy Flip in 1990. Further down we have the next highest entry was covered by the Blues Brothers and that completes a trio as their version was a hit also in 1990 although it was recorded a lot earlier. And Al Capone by Prince Buster was heavily sampled by the Specials in "Gangstas".

-- ( -- ) California Nights - Lesley Gore -- ( -- ) I'll Take Care Of Your Cares - Frankie Laine
So it didn't get to #1 in the UK... here there is no Englebert to compete with but there is a Rolling Stones classic and in spite of a high entry position, Strawberry Fields Forever doesn't make it to #1 this week. Maybe it will next week or maybe Penny Lane will leap up from its entry position of #7 and there's a chance they may get both the top 2 either next week or the one after.
Also among the new entries, Alan Price was with the Animals and his song is a cover of Randy Newman. This song was later featured on the Muppets so there are 2 such songs in the top 10 as For What It's Worth also was. Others have also recorded this song. Wikipedia suggests Morrissey did but I know of no such version. The only connect is the opening line to this song and the chorus of This Charming Man, which both suggest going out if they could find something to wear.
Bands with animal names are popular but in the case of the Turtles they haven't mis-spelt it. Their classic song enters also inside the top 10.
The next entry is a concept single. Possibly inspired by "Winchester Cathedral", songwriters Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook, who have had hits as "David And Jonathan" (in particular "Lovers Of The World Unite" and also wrote songs for the Fortunes went into the studio and got session musicians to perform on this. Wikipedia says the Mike Sammes Singers... It's not certain who is actually whistling on it. This tune also has a "false" ending.

-- ( -- ) I Can't Make It - Small Faces
Strawberry Fields Forever: "psychedelic" is how one describes this - well a lot of music from this era is but this is really the key one for me, and there will be more of it to come in 1967.
A song clearly about drugs is an entry for Smoke at #24. That song was covered later by Boney M (who also covered Sunny and Painter Man which were hits in 1966 so they did pick a few from this era). I'd rather not dwell too much on a certain cover version of the entry at #16.
Surprised the Small Faces "couldn't make it" into the chart. Hopefully they will later on this year...

In spite of their domination this is the first time ever the Beatles have had both the top 2 in my chart on the same week.
A lot of new hits this week so a lot miss out, including soul legends Sam & Dave, Eddie Floyd and Aretha Franklin... Still we get a couple of American groups of 4 men... the Tops and the Seasons, with their soulful songs. Between them, a British diva who is our hope for Eurovision this year. We came 2nd a few times. She has strong competiiton though with Vicky Leandros.
Harpers Bizarre are charting with a cover of a Simon & Garfunkel song, but that duo will be back very soon with a different song.

-- ( -- ) Dry Your Eyes - Brenda & The Tabulations -- ( -- ) Lady - Jack Jones
The classics were piling up but the top 5 is virtually static with just the #4 and #5 swapping places.
Crashing in at #6, his name hasn't been in the chart before but he has been as part of the Yardbirds. Jeff Beck picked up a song by a little known American band and decided it would sound better in a party kind of way, and I think 1967 may end up being one big party soon.
That enters higher than the second hit for Jimi Hendrix. I'd say Hendrix was a better guitarist than Jeff Beck, but the latter's feel good party song just seems to have won the battle.

Great single from the Stones but I also prefer Ruby Tuesday to Night.
