Thank you for pointing this out. I withdraw the last line of my original post.

Sixty years ago (April 4, 1964), something incredible happen in the music industry. The Beatles held the top five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This feat is almost beyond comprehension when you consider how rare it is for one group or artist to have even two records in the Top 10 at...

Fantastic restore job. Congrats!

As we close the book on 2023, here's a look back at some of the notable singers, musicians and songwriters we said good-bye to this past year.

A KA-3500 anchored my first real system (1977). It played great for many years and should serve you well. BTW, 40 watts per channel is plenty for your Fortes. Enjoy!

I have this same model in the kitchen. $10 at Goodwill and it works great!

For years, I assumed Elvis sang "Suspicion" (1964), but it was Terry Stafford. I also thought Neil Diamond sang "Nice to Be With You" (1972). Nope, it's Jim Gold, who led the Detroit pop group Gallery.

Hall of Famer Brenda Lee has broken a string of chart records with her holiday classic Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/dec/05/brenda-lee-rockin-around-the-christmas-tree-us-no-1 Lee was just 13 when she...

I have a 2005 Panasonic plasma that's still as sharp and clear as ever.

You're most welcome. For the record (pun intended), William Oliver Swofford's breakthrough LP contained two Top 5 hits: The title track, from the Broadway musical "Hair" and Jean, written by Rod McKuen, for the film "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie."

Oliver - Good Morning Starshine (1969)

The radio airwaves are jammed full of Christmas songs, many stations having gone to an all-holiday format until New Year's. I like a lot of the Christmas pop classics, but there are some I just can't. So, let's wave the magic wand and delete from the rotation our five least favorite holiday...

Sirius XM is out with its countdown of the 50 biggest artists of the 1960s, based on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Some of the names may surprise you, either by where they placed or the fact they were (or weren’t) even mentioned. Several acts, including Fats Domino, Sam Cooke, the Everly...

actual lines: 'Cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do. Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?

First drive-in movie I remember (I was 4) was "The Parent Trap" starring Haley Mills in summer 1961.

Since its debut in August 1958, Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart has been the industry standard for ranking popular music. Prior to that there were four different weekly pop charts, which were phased out. Making Billboard's Top 40 means a song has attained a certain level of popularity based...

Not true. Melanie had six Top 40 hits in the early '70s, and Look What They've Done to My Song wasn't one of them. Besides Brand New Key, she charted with Lay Down (Candles in the Rain), Ring the Living Bell, Bitter Bad, The Nickle Song, and Peace Will Come.

Not true. The Kinks had four songs that charted higher than Lola (No. 9) on the Billboard Hot 100: You Really Got Me, All Day and All of the Night, Tired of Waiting for You and Come Dancing. They did not have a U.S. No. 1 single, but had three UK No. 1s: You Really Got Me, Tired of Waiting for...

Graduation Day - Four Freshmen Hey, School Girl - Tom & Jerry (Simon & Garfunkel) Hot Rod High - Gary Usher and the Knights Hey Little Girl - Dee Clark

Over the Labor Day weekend, SiriusXM counted down a listeners’ poll of the top 50 summertime hits of the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike a 1960s-only summer survey conducted in August -- one that was pretty accurate -- this list is puzzling. For example, California Girls, the top choice on the 1960s...

A true original whose songs made us smile.

Correct - receivers and amp are plugged into separate surge protectors.
