As I say during the show, this one explores three pre-Beatles hit makers still making music after so many UK artists sweep the charts here. This music from the Everly Brothers, Del Shannon and Brian Hyland has some similarities and contrasts as well. And never mind when I say the Hyland record is from 1965 because it came out in 1966. Of these three the Hyland track, The Joker Went Wild claimed the biggest hit at #20; he did not crack the top twenty again until 1970.
