As my husband and I always say to each other, growing up in the 60s exposed us to so much music in the Top 40 Countdown - foreign (Italian, Japanese and French); instrumentals of all sorts, crooners like Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, soul music (Motown, Chess Records, etc.); British Beat, Surfin' Sounds, singing groups - not bands (4 Seasons, etc.), Girl Groups...all of which could be heard on any Top 40 Station throughout the country. Now, it's all so different.
