2. Bobby Vinton, "There! I've Said It Again"
3. Louis Armstrong, "Hello, Dolly!"
4. Lorne Greene, "Ringo"
5. Nino Tempo & April Stevens, "Stardust"
6. Joey Powers, "Midnight Mary"
7. Danny Williams, "White on White"
8. Robert Goulet, "My Love, Forgive Me (Amore, Scusami)"
9. Gale Garnett, "We'll Sing in the Sunshine"
10. Frank Sinatra, "Softly, As I Leave You"

Crap, I am gonna be bummed to miss this one. Got an appointment in Portland shortly after 11, so looks like I'll miss this, at least on the first go-round. Crossing fingers I can catch the replay.
(Is this the oldest year for which AL has done an entire set? I know she went back to '60 for a VT or two. Props to her for keeping up the quality as much as she has as she nears her 1-year anniversary in the drivers' seat.)

genius.
-
I suspect a 10-way-tie is imminent, but BOS2 "California Sun" by the Rivieras, from... Indiana.
followed by the real California deal from the BBs. Fun Fun Fun indeed!
-
ah told you once an' ah told you twice: Stones make an appearance.
-
VHM Dr Kildare. Oh he was soooo dreamy!

yay Yardbirds!

BOS to everything, wonder which song will represent Beatlemania?

I'm on Needles & Pins waiting to find out!
-
BOS to "Needles and Pin-za."
WOS to "California Sun."
-
BOS to "Needles and Pin-za."
love the little bridge part, great chords there.
WOS to "California Sun."
because he says "Frisco," right?
-
BOS to "Needles and Pin-za."
WOS to "California Sun."
I haven't heard Pins-a in years. Pretty Byrdsy.

Tomorrow's the day my old HS friend who wrote the Willie Mays biography is doing the booksigning at the Borders by AT&T park at 5:30. Any of you city dwelling Giants fans interested in meeting up? I won't be able to attend the game, but would show up if anyone else is interested.
(He's doing another on Sat in the East Bay, so I will certainly meet him there myself, but it wouldn't take much arm-twisting to get me to BART in on Friday)
-
more pinza for-a youse.

Oh, "Downtown" is always a joy to hear. BOS2.
-
another BOS to "The First Lady Of the British Invasion". But Tony Hatch deserves as many kudos for crafting her many hits.
-
BOS for Petula going Down....town. Inexplicably, my whole family watched "Finian's Rainbow" on DVD (no idea why we have that). A very strange movie, but plenty of Petula Clark. Easy on the eyes. Much more so than a rather long in the tooth Fred Astaire.

Coppola directing a musical about Irishmen (in the South!) -- WTF? A bomb at the time it was released, but it has its cult.
-
AL gives us a really big shew! dicey edit from live to 45, tho'.
-
We begin and end with a Chuck Berry song. Hooray for Johnny Rivers, who belongs in the RnRHoF -- c'mon folks! More than that I cannot add.
-
Woo Hoo double BOS for the Beatles!!!!
-
This Johnny Rivers song really knows how to throw a party!
-
Another Beatles track? I'll take it! "I Saw Her Standing There" is my favorite early Beatles tune. Paul is an animal on the bass in this one. Playing Beatles Rock Band really makes me appreciate all that he was doing in these tunes.

Here's a tough Beatlemania trivia question with an improbable but cool answer:
Beatlemania crested in April of '64 when the Beatles held the top 5 spots on Billboard in the midst of having three consecutive #1 singles covering 14 charts from 2/1/64 until 5/2/64*. What song knocked them out of the top spot on 5/9/64?
*yes, I do have my Whitburn in hand :)
-
oops, did I miscount or are we going to eleven today? why not a Beatle twin-spin, instead of inserting Mr Rivers in-between?

I'm gonna guess she got some kind of special request for that.

Since I bought the new Top Pop Singles, I have the old falling-apart copy here at work now. So I know but won't reveal.

"Don't Sleep in the Subway".
more improbable than that. the equivalent of, say, Smokey Robinson releasing a single that knocks Lady Gaga out of the top spot (best comparison I could come up with on short notice).

If memory serves, it was "Hello, Dolly!"

Which version? Pearl Bailey? Louis Armstrong? Carol Channing?
-
VHM Dr Kildare.
I've always thought that character name was a poor choice. Doctor KILL-Dare?
-
oh, and let's give Macolm X -- whom Mike Wallace refers to as "Mister Malcom" -- a BOS to the X-power.

Almost made it. I was out in the garage tossing past-date chevre and realized it was five after 10. Made it in time to catch most of the Beach Boys; bummed that I missed Chuck though.
-
Bookended by Berry. Nice.
11 songs and still a helluva short set. Love those early/mid-60s forays.
