Comment:
31. The Crests - 16 Candles (#2)32. The Fleetwoods - Come Softly to Me (#1)
At least three songs peaked just outside of 1959, but they all still charted in that year as well. All four of Elvis' hits that charted in '59 were used in this mix.
Feedback:
Awesome mix!! The Fleetwoods cut, and The Flamingos as well, still hold up now (IMHO) some 46 years later... music from another planet.
Oh, and that was the year I was born, so thanks! Lovin' the idea that mom and dad were snugglin' up and makin' me happen... okay, so maybe that inspires more of a cringe than I anticipated, but you get my point...

Nice selections from the 50s -- an era not seen that much on the AOTM charts. I didn't realize Jan & Dean were pre-60s!
