The Buckinghams’ song Kind of a Drag hits #1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
Kind of a Drag was written by Jim Holvay, who was a friend of the band’s from Chicago. It is The Buckingham’s only #1 hit, although they peeked into the Top 10 twice more and charted a couple more times after that. Holvay went on to write Don’t You Care, Susan and Hey Baby They’re Playing Our Song for The Buckinghams.
