Darn near everything here should be fairly common knowledge. Maybe some of the lesser hits won’t immediately come to mind, but…
Despite having a single or two in 1963, The Rolling Stones finally came along for the ride in ’64, remaining to this day. I guess Ray Davies of The Kinks is still around. And Peter Noone still hawks something somewhere. Eric Burdon is still singing. Does Peter Asher still manager artists?
Some really dynamite singles on this list today!

ISTR that Peter & Gordon's "World Without Love" is actually a cast-off Lennon/McCartney number.
Sandie Shaw -- there was always something about her that really attracted me. I was reminded of my boyhood crush on her by a video clip you sent me once -- some tape (!!) of RSG!'s inaugural broadcast (when "the countdown" was hand-drawn illustrations on pieces of cardboard!). "I Feel Fine" was illustrated with a wine bottle and woman's hand holding a glass, and Sandie Shaw came out to sing "Girl Don't Come."
As it turns out, YouTube has a video that includes this clip, and "Little Red Rooster" had dropped down to #3 that week! :)
