1964 Top Thirteen

'64 was a fine vintage for pop music with Beatlemania hitting the US, Top of the Pops debuting on UK TV, and the Rolling Stones having a sucessful US tour.
Davie Jones & King Bees released their debut single "I Can't Help Thinking About Me."

It was probably the hardest choice yet knowing what to exclude. I really forgotten how many top tunes there were in 1964. The group disbanded but the lead singer went on to have a long, fabulous career as David Bowie.

1. The Searchers - Needles And Pins 01-64
2. Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas - Little Children - 03-64
3. Peter & Gordon - A World Without Love - 04-64
4. The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun - 07-64
5. The Bachelors - Ramona - 06-64
6. Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart - 02-64
7. Petula Clark - Downtown - 12-64
8. Doris Day - Move Over Darling - 04-64
9. The Dave Clark Five - Bits And Pieces - 02-64
10. The Kinks - You Really Got Me - 08-64
11. Kathy Kirby - Secret Love - 11-63
12. Sandie Shaw - Always Something There To Remind Me - 10-64
13. Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - 07-64
