That is one bullseye of a list! You must be the same age as me and Rush: born in 1951. Your list is the soundtrack to all that we witnessed that makes our nation so special in so many ways. And don’t forget Sgt Pepper came out the day school let out in 1967 to kick off THAT summer.

I'm actually a few months younger than Rush. I believe Sgt.Pepper was released in early June, 1967, but the radio stations KRLA and KHJ were blasting the Southland with promos from the album in the last week of May with 50,00 watts.

Here is the song that topped the rhythm and blues charts on the day I was born:

Rocket 88--Jackie Brenston & the Delta Cats
