Episode 22

With this show, we can really hear how new trends in pop music establish a strong foothold, and also help to reinvigorate the rock and roll music that had been in short supply for the past few years.
This segment contains no less than four tracks featuring female artists, and three instrumental tracks as well, interspersed between the typically awesome R&B tracks (and a pair of ridiculous “misses” as well), for a record-breaking total of fifteen hit sides in one hour!

Telstar – The Tornadoes
The Lonely Bull – Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
Tell Him – The Exciters
Pepino the Italian Mouse – Lou Monte
Up on the Roof – The Drifters
Your Cheating Heart – Ray Charles
