VA - In The Charts MARCH 1963 (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3


This continues the series "In The Charts 1963" ... visiting the tracks that are familiar and forgotten.

All these tracks were in the US and/or UK charts in MARCH  1963. 

It seems like yesterday we were dancing to these tunes. I hope you enjoy this mix of artists from USA and UK. 

I hope you have enjoyed all of the sometimes-forgotten tracks from 1963.

  5. Falls well within that period when, even with a Transistor radio, some of the best recordings were released.
    One 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,.

    1. Hi the Blue Angel.
      Good 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.
