SweetiePie: 1964 ~ BEATLES!!! ~ "I want to hold your hand" hits #1
Can't let that 1 pass without a tune -
And many thanks, Sir Paul....my Father has related to me the story of the impact. He was 16 when it came out, he at once purchased the 1st album and was crazed with it...just like everyone else...it was (the music & sound) just so different, new, and capturing. He also lost his crew-cut and zoomed to the Beatle hairdo. ;-}
