Got a Good reason to post this old chart from 1966

[Chris Brown]

I wasn't planning to post one this week - especially not a frozen one
(hence the lack of LW positions). But Gerry Marsden has died and that's
an excuse to look back 55 years to their nominal last chart week. Len
Barry, Spencer Davis and Wayne Fontana also died in recent months.
Also notable here is the unexpected act with two songs in the Top 5 and
not only are the Beatles topping the charts as performers, there are
also covers of songs written by three of them. Sorry Ringo.
Only one Christmas song in this chart.
