***Lots of music festivals going on in cities like Atlanta, Denver, New Orleans, Newport, and Toronto. All were overshadowed by the one coming up in August at that little place in New York, not Illinois as I thought.

***Don Kirshner, who brought us the Monkees, launched a cartoon band called the Archies who gave us that sweet, sweet song that was #1 in August.

***Diana Ross helped launch these five lads from Gary, Indiana, at a Beverly Hills club. Family surname was Jackson.
