Popular Songs Of 1965, Vol. 2

One last round of Swinging Sixties hits, then we take a break from this series for a little while. I think you'll find that you're at least somewhat familiar with most of these songs, if you've spent any time at all over the past couple of decades listening to "oldies" music. If you just happen to be old enough to remember them when they came out fifty years ago, then maybe this is a bit of nostalgia for you as well. Enjoy!  ~  JH
