Year-End Poll #11: 1960

More information about this blog here

To quote a song from a certain John Waters adaptation, "Welcome to the 60's." And to mark the occasion, here's some songs from that decade of sex, drugs, and rock and roll! Woo!

So our modern perceptions of any given decade are rarely exhibited by the Billboard Hot 100 charts, especially when the decade is only just starting. I have my own thoughts on when the 60's truly comes into its own, but we'll get to that later. In the meantime, the top hits of 1960 wouldn't seem that out of place in the 1950s. Compositions, traditional pop, and doo-wop. Elvis is back on the charts after his time in the military.

However, there is one song featured in this poll that was truly a sign of where pop music was heading. If anyone can't figure out which one it is, don't worry. The same song will return in a future 1960s poll.

Brenda Lee and Peter Tork at Lee’s 1966 New Year’s Eve masquerade party. Photo 2 (and 1, too?) by Ric Klein.

New Year's Eve 1966:

“Every year for several years we threw a big masquerade party in December. […] We always had great entertainment, too. One year it was Gale Garnett singing her hit ‘We’ll Sing in the Sunshine.’ Another time it was Jewel Akens, who sang ‘The Birds and the Bees.’ My favorite was the time we booked the Monkees. They were the most popular group in America at the time, with hits like ‘I’m a Believer,’ ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ and ‘Daydream Believer.’ Needless to say, the Monkees were ‘fave raves’ in 16 Magazine. And since editor Gloria Stavers had long been my buddy, the gala got a photo spread in the teen magazine. After I sang with the group, I posed happily with Monkees Peter Tork and Davy Jones. Since I was a clown that year, my cheeks were dotted with red circles, and I was wearing a puffy ruffle around my neck.” - Brenda Lee, Little Miss Dynamite: The Life and Times of Brenda Lee (2002)

“[Lee] held it [the party] in the warehouse of her husband’s electrical store and everyone came in costume. We wore the clothes we had on but I guess some of the guests thought we were in costume anyway. They had a rock and roll band playing and it was mainly older people. Peter sat in on guitar with the band and Micky did his solo complete with dancing and falling down. [...] Davy did his number and then Brenda Lee sang a few songs. It was really great and the Monkees didn’t mind being away from home so much on New Year’s Eve because of it.” - David Price, Tiger Beat, March 1967

New Year's Eve 1967:

Peter, along with Karen Harvey and baby Justin, traveled to London.

"Saturday morning, the telephone rings, Dad answers and the operator tells him that there is a call from New York for Davy Jones, or anyone at Clumber Road, so Dad accepts the call. ‘This is Peter, Peter Tork, sir. I’m so pleased to speak to you. David has told me such a lot about you.’ The message is to tell David that Peter is at the airport in New York and is flying to London, can David meet him there for the New Year? Luckily we are able to get hold of David and fix things up. On Sunday morning Peter flies into London and David meets him at the airport. [They attended] a swinging New Year’s Eve party at the 'Speakeasy Club' in London." - Hazel Jones Wilkinson, Tiger Beat, April 1968

On this London trip, Peter writes "Long Title..." (read more here), plays banjo for one of George Harrison's Wonderwall Music recording sessions (read more here), guest hosts Top Of The Pops, and gives interviews at a press reception held at London's Decca promotions office (read more here; yet more about that press reception here).
