Step back to February 1963 as this WMEX countdown captures the sound of early-60s pop just before the British Invasion changed everything. This week’s survey features chart-toppers like The 4 Seasons’ “Walk Like a Man,” Roy Orbison’s dreamy “In Dreams,” and Skeeter Davis’ unforgettable “The End of the World,” alongside favorites from Dion, Paul & Paula, and Johnny Mathis. From heartfelt ballads and bossa nova rhythms to upbeat rock & roll and teen idols, this episode recreates the excitement of Boston’s Top 40 radio exactly as listeners heard it on the legendary WMEX Boston.
