Best songs of 1962
The 60s of the last century were the truly "golden age" in the history of music. Groups were born, which later became pillars of various genres, songs were recorded, which then began to call "classics". 1962 oh year was no exception. Tell about it in more detail.
Higher ratings
In the list of the greatest hits of the 1962th, there were 5 songs, and three of them belong to Elvis Presley (who, by the way, did not die, and flew home :))Elvis PresleyOne of them became released in September - "Return to Sender", which is also a soundtrack for the film with a deep name "Girls! Girls! Girls!". The song fell into the charts of different countries from Ireland to the United States, and put on the second place in the magazine "Buillboard".
High ratings received the song "Can't Help Falling In Love", which was already in the lists of hits in the past, 61st year.
And one more position in the chart was also from the Alvis song - "Good Luck Charm". The song was written by Aaron Schroeder and Walley Gold and to this day retained his fame as the song "Can't Help Falling In Love".
The 1st place in the magazine "Billboard" took the song "I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU". Initially, it was written and filled with a singer and composer Don Gibson, but in that year Ray Charles was fulfilled, and the single became very popular.
The latter in the list, but not much to significance, was the song of The Tornados "Talstar" group, executed in an unusual Space Age Pop genre. In the chart, Hits Great Britain Single lasted 25 weeks, 5 from the bottom - in the first place.
I also want to add that in the same year the Gremmi Prize for the recording of the year received Tonny Bennet and his immortal song "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".
The Beatles.
At the same time, the BEATLES group actively writes its history. Brian Epstein came to the place of their manager, who invested a lot of energy. At the beginning of the famous Thursday, it was not lucky, after the first drying, held on January 1 they said that "groups of guitarists go their mods."
In February, the group performed on Radio BBC, but it was not possible to achieve a profitable contract for Epstein. The group went on the third touring tour, and here finally changed everything. The entries fell into the hands of George Martin from EMI. Martin has been known as intellectual and original. It was he who was able to appreciate the talented game of young musicians. In Liverpool, where the group was at that moment, a happy telegram went. So, their first contract began and writing the album "Please, Please Me".
Birth classic
While The Beatles desperately achieved recognition, another group, later acquired world fame, just began to collect their members.
Interestingly, they were originally conceived as the "Bunlet" version of The Beatles, and in the end they got up with them for one level. You already probably realized that we are talking about The Rolling Stones, the legend of rock in a variety of variations, from blues and psychedelic.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were familiar with the school bench, but with Brian Jones, Iean Stewart and Wild Taylor, they met in the 62nd and on July 12, performed at a concert together, for the first time under the name of The Rolling Stones.
This is not all that happened in the world of music in that year. Another, then, however, the unnoticed event happened in the Motown Studio. A 12-year-old boy recorded the two of its first album "The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie" and "Tribute to Uncle Ray". Due to the early opened guy's talent, the guy was called a miracle. So began a career of the famous Stevie Wonder.
1962, it turned out to be rich in beautiful songs and interesting stories. From Maestro Jazz Ray Charles and to Bright The Rolling Stones - this year everything was needed for happiness to the music lover.
