Went into the local Woolworth store in Jan. 1964 and flipped through record albums. Saw this one marked ninety-nine cents. The next week the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show and when I went back the album was a buck ninety-nine.

If we be doing The Who then we just gotta turn Moonie loose.

Or one of my favorites.



This could turn into the longest thread in the history of hearth.com.

Thanks to youtube.

Thanks for that one zap. Mel Taylor and Max Weinberg having more fun with two drum kits than should be allowed. Mel died six years after that vid was made.

When you stroll through that decade, if you lived through that decade...it's fascinating to revisit the music. The "evolution" of the music in those ten years was rather amazing, I think. Music, like scents, are powerful evokers of memories for me. Rick

This seems to be a pretty incredible compilation of sound tracks of all the #1 hits from all those years (and more):

Interesting, I never thought to look that up before. This song was #1 on the charts the day I was born...probably explains why I had so many Chevrolets in my life. (Whole thing's gotta be lip-synced...there was no such thing as a wireless microphone in 1948).



Whoops! Sorry for yanking the thread out of the 60's...now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Saw John Davidson at the Fairmont Hotel Venetian Room in Dallas in the early seventies. People would call out the year they were born or married and he would immediately start singing a top song from that year. Pretty slick.
