1963 must have been an exciting year for music. I've got a CD with the top 100 hits of 1962 and 1963, and Tintoretto couldn't have made a clearer contrast. (Yes, that's a shout out to
gamaliel8.)
1962 was the year for "Soldier Boy", "The Loco-Motion", and all the sweetness of girl groups.
1963 rolls around, and the #1 hit is some guy singing about drinking espresso and picking up some counterculture chick at the Sugar Shack. 1963 came with the Beatles in tow. Raucous rock was on the charts.
