While listening to
88 Rewound count down the hits of
January 13, 1964 from
Philly's WIBG in honor of
The Beatles, I thought about
people I know who were around then.
My mom was home cleaning and ironing to the kitchen
radio while her oldest 3 kids left for school – then errands with my 2-year-old sister while listening to the car radio. I was unfamiliar with many of the songs and skipped through some slow ones. A few weeks later, the
Beatles would be known worldwide.
Yippeee!
Below are a few pop songs from the
January 1964 survey:
He Ain't No Angel,
The Lovejoys,
1963
Ellie Greenwich, who wrote the song, is really singing.
Move It Baby,
Simon Scott with The LeRoys,
1964
Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys,
The Cookies,
1963
