And, then the Beatles came to town and all the record buying dollars gravitated toward them. But, these great songs got plenty of airplay even if they charted lower than one would expect. We remember them well. Being introduced by Paul Anka |

This is a good example of the effect the Beatles had in the U.S. In the UK, this song was #1 meaning Beatlemania had died down in the UK. Both songs were written by Burt Bacharach. |
