October 1964

Here’s yet another blast from the past, courtesy of the American Hit Radio program. The subject here is the month of October 1964, when each of these songs debuted on the pop charts….
Talk about the good old days of pop radio. Try to imagine (or if you’re as old as I am, try to remember) a time when the Beatles would release a new two-sided hit single e very few months, Motown was inundating us with one fabulous gem after another, and dozens of other artists were truly inspired to create something new and different. That was 1964. Hrere’s a list of songs that appear in this program;
1) Out of Sight – James Brown
2) Leader of the Pack – The Shangri-Las
3) Baby Love – The Supremes
4) Come a Little Bit Closer – Jay and the Americans
5) You Really Got Me - The Kinks
