So, who did you vote for? It was pretty intense back in 1964, or maybe it was '65. AM Radio's finest.

There never really was a chance for anyone else. When our local AM radio station 1230: WCOL, sent a message out that there was a voting battle on, we jumped up and headed for the phone. The Beatles. It was The Beatles in our household. The Rolling Stones never really had a chance here. It probably had something to do with those cute little faces on the Ed Sullivan show that Sunday night.( they were little because it was a smaller black-and-white television! ) My oldest sister chose Paul, you see John was married! My next oldest sister well, she got George. They gave me Ringo. I still loved John though…and Ringo. Back then.
It was always a close contest. One week one group would win the battle- the next week the other. We always jumped up and we always went to call when it happened…Until our parents told us to get the hell off the phone and quit tying up the line with stupid stuff. We went to the upstairs extension.

So- who did you choose of the two? Sorry. These two bands only, please. Think about what songs were out on the AM- wavelengths at That time.

I had a great laugh when I watched this- The making of….
and saw all of the members of different bands that showed up. Even some Rolling Stones. See if you can pick out all of the bands present for the party. Enjoy! :)
