This weeks playlist is reminiscent of the "British Invasion" era in the 1960's - translating to a whole lot of British bands coming over to America who sang in the genres of rock and roll, beat, pop and rock. The Beatles were responsible for spear heading this after a report ran on CBS about Beatlemania in the UK. After watching this report an American 15 year old girl wrote a letter into a DJ at WWDC radio complaining why didn't they have music like that in America. On December 17th, 1963 WWDC played "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and this marked the first Beatles song to be aired in the United States.
