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?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was also 10. Where has the time gone.  Kennedy was President.  Now I'm ducking girls born under Clinton. Only 3 presidents to cover 24 years.......
