Just a selection of 45s in the charts on my 12th birthday in November 1960. I think you’ll agree there are some real classics there:

ARE YOU LONESOME TO-NIGHT –•– Elvis Presley)
POETRY IN MOTION –•– Johnny Tillotson
GEORGIA ON MY MIND –•– Ray Charles
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME –•– The Drifters
BLUE ANGEL –•– Roy Orbison
PERFIDIA –•– The Ventures
CHAIN GANG –•– Sam Cooke
YOU’RE SIXTEEN –•– Johnny Burnette
PETER GUNN –•– Duane Eddy
MY DEAREST DARLING –•– Etta James
FOOLS RUSH IN (Where Angels Fear To Tread) –•– Brook Benton
