Back in 1964, something amazing happened on the Billboard chart!
The Beatles held the top 5 spots! This is something that has never happened before or since!
My friend Ken also pointed out: they also had seven other songs in the top 100 for a total of 12 tunes!
That same week, The Beatles also held the top two spots on Billboard’s albums chart with Meet The Beatles! and Introducing The Beatles. These U.S. chart records have never been broken, even after 58 years!
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Keith, I like how you included the graphics and the chart. Good post and honestly I think you could put a dartboard up with Beatles song titles on it and no matter where the dart hit it would be a good song.
a fun look back!
