January of 1965 continues. Chubby Checker battled Dobie Gray, while the Beau Brummels try and convince us that they are more than "that band starting with B-E-A" that follows the Beatles in the record bins.

1964 became 1965, but the Beatles had to deal with chasing the Abominable Snowman. Meanwhile, Brian and Cilla (and George Martin) chased The Righteous Brothers and Andrew Loog Oldham (and Phil Spector).

Who wants to go on a Blind Date with George Harrison? Millions of girls for sure, but only Hayley Mills and the backpage of the Melody Maker accomplished the feat. Tune in for Twinkle (but not Little Star), Ken Dodd, Elvis, the CND and a little song that just might be "the first record to start with feedback".

We start on the American charts for November of 1964. Supremes, Chad and Jeremy, Marvelettes and Little Anthony and the Imperials.
