Comment:

This mix began a few years ago but was never finished. After stumbling over it looking over old directories, I dusted it off and added more cuts to come up with the following. One song that wasn't used becuase it didn't mix with the rest was "All Day and All of the Night" by the Kinks.
The length of this mix is just over 71 minutes. The average year of the songs chosen (at which they peaked in the charts) comes out to 1962.35 and the median comes out to 1962.0 (+- 25 years).

Night and Day gives you a lot of material to work with in song titles, but Willie and the Five Satins are tops here for me.

Nice to Freddy Fender on a RetroJoe mix. Perfect from top to bottom, once again.

That Mar-Keys cut always makes me chuckle.... this is nice work, Joe.
