After yesterday’s completion of the playback of the twenty-seven # 1 songs in 1965, you might be thinking that means the end of the wonderful music playing on the radio that year.
Wrong … Wrong … Wrong
There were several songs that reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while many, many others reached the Top 10.
Below is a medley of 12 songs that may not have hit the top of the charts but each and every single one of them is a timeless treasure from 1965. I have indicated below their peak position on the charts next to the artists’ names.
As usual, there were so many songs that weren’t played because I ran out of days again! Songs like I’ll Never Find Another You, California Girls, Ferry Cross The Mersey, The Seventh Son, I Know A Place, Heart Full Of Soul, The Name Game, Baby I’m Yours, Bye Bye Baby, Tell Her No, How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You), Go Now, I Go To Pieces, Five O’ Clock World, I Want Candy, It’s Not Unusual, You Were On My Mind, and Do You Believe in Magic.
Yeah, 1965 was one hell of a great year for music.
