I was 10 in 1962, but I do remember the song, the wonderful MM, the tour of the White House and the missiles in Cuba.
Thanks for shaking those cob webs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another from the Oldies Jukebox. This was on the charts in Chicago from April through June;
on May 26 it became the first British recording to hit number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Other events of the year you oldsters might remember:
February 14: Jackie Kennedy's televised tour of the White House
August 5: Marilyn Monroe found dead
October 1: Johnny Carson becomes host of the Tonight Show
October 22: In a televised address to the nation, President Kennedy announces
there are Soviet missiles in Cuba
always my favorite instrument, Banny Goodman & especially Artie Shaw were my musical heroes. Shaw's 'Frenesi' & 'Begin the Beguine' were the very best! Always thought that, when I retired, I'd try to learn to play; haven't done a damn thing! Maybe I'll look into it now?
