ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Il Commendatore.
DeleteCheers.
Falls well within that period when, even with a Transistor radio, some of the best recordings were released.
ReplyDeleteOne could even sing along!!!
One comment - This set has only 59 songs in it -- You have "How Can I Forget" by Ben E. King twice in this set.
Not to worry - I can easily add another myself.
Just keep these complications coming - It takes me back to those days and helps remind me of what I had forgotten about,.
Hi the Blue Angel.
DeleteGood pick up. It was not intended. A little tardy on my part.
1963 had some real changes happening and this series is so interesting for me.
Cheers.
Ooops. Another Link.
