7th grade for me. Kennedy’s assassination and the arrival the Beatles happened all at the same time.
The Beatles were just the most prominent of the ‘English Invasion’ that began in 1963. There were a lot of good English bands besides the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
Kinks
The Who
Moody Blues
Dave Clark Five
Most talented overall....Yardbirds
Small Faces
Zombies......one of my favorites
Troggs......
Animals.....lotsa hits
Spencer Davis Group....
Manfred Mann
Herman’s Hermits
It was a fine time.....
