In the 50's and 60's, how many different kinds of music were there on a.m. radio anyway?.....two?
</font> Oh, my! In the early 60's, radio was infinitely more varied than it is today. I remember you could listen to the radio for a half hour and hear the Beatles, the Animals, the Supremes, James Brown, Dean Martin, The Beach Boys, Bobby Vinton, and the Singing Nun...without changing the station! In my little corner of the world, we had stations that did Top 40, jazz and standards, country, bluegrass, classical, religious, polka (for heaven's sake), and talk (yes, radio talked way back then). It was cool.
