In the summer of 1965, I went to Germany for a year. The Armed Forces Network (AFN) station in Frankfurt played mostly Adult Contemporary music, which I hated, and also a show featuring Hawaiian music, Dick Sinclair’s Polka Party, and Jim Pewter’s Oldies show—but no Top 40.

LOL, I always think of “Good Morning, Vietnam”.....

“Eddie Kirk here, and Ray Conniff jubilee
coming up in just a few moments. I call it a jubilee.
Actually, it’s a Ray Conniff featurette. Three, maybe four,
back-to-back Ray Conniff classics.”

On AFN Frankfurt during the first week of June, 1966, the #1 song was Mel Torme's Dominique's Discotheque. I don't think this even made it onto the Adult Contemporary charts Stateside. I would not hear it again until Youtube came along about five decades later.
