It’s hard to imagine a world that had not yet heard The Beatles, Bob Dylan. The Rolling Stones.
They were all about break through in 1962, but nobody imagined how they would change music, taking American sounds back to the US, and injecting poetry into pop.
So 1962 is a fascinating year for music. We see Peter Paul and Mary riding the folk boom Bob Dylan would soon leave behind. Motown is pumping out the hits that filled the world’s jukeboxes.
And everyone was doing the twist, way back in 1962.
