Popular Songs Of 1966, Vol. 1

Ahh...the 1960s. When I think of "oldies music," this is the era and these are the songs that come to mind. Motown, the British invasion, psychedelia, soaring harmonies, and blue-eyed soul. It was a hodgepodge of wonderful encapsulated in an unforgettable decade. Unforgettable even though I wasn't yet alive to experience it firsthand. That says a lot about the music this decade left behind. Without further ado, here's Part 1 of 3 of the most Popular Songs of 1966. Enjoy!  ~  JH
