Music that om the 'White Album'.ġ969: The Beatles ruled the Album chart for a fifth week with The White Album while TCB by Diana Ross & the Supremes with the Temptations was second. The rest of the Top 10: "Out Of Limits" from the Marketts, the Rip Chords and "Hey Little Cobra", Bobby Rydell dropped with "Forget Him", Major Lance had a song called "Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um" and Jan & Dean were at #10 with "Drag City".ġ965: "King Of The Road", which was written by Roger Miller at the Idanha Hotel in Boise, Idaho, was released as a single.ġ967: The Beatles did a last-minute remix of "Penny Lane" before pressing their double-sided single that also included "Strawberry Fields Forever".ġ969: Cilla Black married manager Bobby Willis.ġ969: The Best of the New Seekers was the #1 album in the U.K. The Trashmen were at #4 with "Surfin' Bird" while the Murmaids fell with "Popsicles And Icicles". The Kingsmen were still at #2 with "Louie Louie" while the Beatles moved from 45 to 3 in their second week of release with "I Want To Hold Your Hand". Now I grant you that there are some that don't like the Beatles and would rather have music like that of Bobby Vinton.

I've Said It Again". 1960: Sam Cooke recorded "Chain Gang" at the RCA Recording Studios in New York City.ġ960: Bill Black's Combo made it three weeks at #1 on the R&B chart with the great instrumental "Smokie".ġ960: Bobby Darin had a fast-rising song as "Beyond The Sea" moved from 74 to 34.ġ960: The great Soundtrack to "The Sound of Music" moved to #1 on the Album chart, the first of 16 weeks at the top.ġ963: Cilla Black made her live debut at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England, where she started out as the hat check girl.ġ963: Janis Joplin performed in San Francisco, California at the North Beach coffeehouse.ġ964: Bobby Vinton was on top of the Easy Listening chart for a fourth week with "There!
