Vicki Lawrence’s “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia” was number 1. With 9 spot leap to the peak. Vicki was a true One-Hit-Wonder, as this was her only Top 40 song. Most folks my age will remember her more from the Carol Burnett Show. But this song was pretty huge.
Biggest movers (up) this week (in 1973), a pretty impressive trio:
- The Cisco Kid - War, up 11 spots to #10
- Stuck In The Middle With You – Steelers Wheel, up 10 spots to #24
- Reeling In The Years- Steely Dan, up 10 spots to #39
Biggest Movers (down):
- Big City Miss Ruth Ann - Gallery, down 21 to #48
- Do You Want To Dance? - Bette Midler, down 20 to #50
- One Less Set Of Footsteps - Jim Croce, down 16 to #53
- Kissing My Love - Bill Withers, down 11 to #46
- Aubrey- Bread, down 11 to #26
Notable Debuts:

There were 3 others that eventually made the Top 40, but none I remember…
