Before my time, but it seems that there was that period during the late 1950 and early ‘60s that instrumentals like his music were quite popular and made the charts often enough. Was that the case?
Yes. The Ventures were popular as well. Walk dont run........https://youtu.be/owq7hgzna3E
Yes. Lots of instrumentals by Santo and Johnny, The Shadows in the UK, The Ventures. Lots of ‘em. And some good stuff too. RIP Mr. Dale.
Probably up until the early 70s...instrumentals were used as lead in to the top of the hour newscasts on radio....even top-40 stations had TOH news
