Popular Songs Of 1964

Regular readers of this blog might assume, from my usual posts, that I only like and listen to "modern" music. But that's so not true! I love oldies music – I was practically raised on it. And without great songs like these timeless tunes from 50 years ago, there wouldn't be any great modern music. This is where it all started. Sit back, reminisce, and enjoy!  ~  JH

After this post, I'm taking a one-week sabbatical from "Opposites" music posts.
