Thanks. 

I think what happens, when songs become real popular like this they tend to cross lines and be played everywhere. The Beatles, Elvis, they were on Ed Sullivan, and the Monkees we can make fun if we want but they had their own show for crying out loud! So this music was everywhere, you could not possibly grow up without hearing it. Not to mention the vast majority of it was just plain really, really good music!
Yeah but look how much of that is popular even now 60 years later! There's a kid here at work, I say kid but he's 20-something, who I was surprised to find listening to Louis Armstrong! Quality songwriting never goes out of style.
Thanks MC! I Was nine in 1960 and the youngest of four Brother's so l heard these songs all the time What a voice that Brenda Lee had! A fews years later l was doing the twist as it was all the rage At age 13 l saw the Beatles perform on Ed Sullivan  Talk about a water shed moment!
