The Beatles not only "entered the house" by crossing the Atlantic and being successful in the United States... they left the door wide open. The third British album I purchased in 1964 was the first record by two lads named Peter and Gordon. They had a hit song moving up the charts in England "A World Without Love". As a matter of fact, in February it went to number one. And lo and behold, it started getting airplay in the U.S. in March before it was even released here, and talk about crazy - it was written by Lennon-McCartney!!
I remember thinking, "Hmmmm, what is going on in our rock and roll world!?!" Little did I know, my favorite radio era of all time had begun!
