Elvis Presley started a two week run at No.1 on the Billboard singles
chart with ‘Good Luck Charm’, his fifth No.1 of the 60’s.
The single spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and nine
weeks atop the easy listening (now adult contemporary) chart, becoming
Frank’s second gold single as certified by the RIAA and Nancy’s third. It
was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in
America.
