The Top Ten Oldies of 1963

Sunday October 30, 2005
Rock and roll may have been a man's world in the early days, but the year 1963 belonged mostly to the girls -- never was there a year so good to the "girl group" sound. And where were the boys, you ask? Surfing, mostly. But some were holed up in the garage, creating the sound of the mid-Sixties. The British Invasion would soon come along to change everything, but, as this list proves, in '63 rock was still about multipart harmonies, high romantic drama, catching a wave, and going up on the roof to get away from it all. Contains trivia, recording info, release info, and more.
