Comment:

This mix is just under 58.5 minutes (I was trying for quality, but not necessarily super big hits, over quantity). This is also, with the exception of the last two songs, a pretty mellow mix. It starts off with songs having a pretty slow beat and en_ds quite a bit faster. I used my MixMeister software to come up with the mix and the link is to a single mp3 file of it. Most of the songs are from 1960 (only six peaked in 1961).

Some great choices here, including Lenny Welch, Five Satins and Little Anthony. Can't wait to listen.

I really like this underappreciated time period.
