Nifster - did you deliberately not vote on many of the early pairs?

-PJ
OK, thanks!
Thank you!
Cboldt - did you mean to ignore this or just a mistake?
2 1960 “He’ll Have to Go” Jim Reeves
6 1960 “I’m Sorry” Brenda Lee
I meant to not choose from that pair. Neither title rang a tune in my head. Thanks for asking, and thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Some of these were picked because I’m only really familiar with one of the two (so did the other not make an impression or have I really never heard it?). Some are a coin toss because I don’t remember either. But how do you choose between Louis Armstrong and Roy Orbison??
