Where Were You February 28, 1965? --Part 6

From Dave McAleer's book again.

Some side notes that Dave had for January to March 1965:

*** America's first successful answers to the British Invasion were Gary Lewis & the Playboys and the Beau Brummels.

*** Capitol Records second-biggest album-selling artist, Nat King Cole, died from cancer. The Beatles held three of the top ten LP chart positions. Beatles won the Grammy for Best New Artist 1964. Wonder why?

*** "Downtown" by Petula Clark won Grammy for Best Rock and Roll Record. Well, if Jethro Tull can win the Grammy for Heavy Metal, I guess anything is possible.

*** Alan Freed died at age 42 while awaiting trial for income tax evasion. As Little Steven says, "Thank you Alan Freed."

Back when a 45 cost 99 cents and an album $3.99 to $4.99.
