Earliest? Do the Twist with Ray Charles. Loved the pink and black cover and discovered soul music and the Great Ray!

I still know every word on every album and 45 ever made..

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I didn't say they did, read what I wrote... It was on the flip of revolution a 45.. I still laugh.. Heck I may have wound up with it... He wound up in prison. 16 years.. Go figure.. :-(

They got Yoko Ono on one of those friggin' records, too. I heard her one time, TWICE, only because I took my fingers out of my ears.. :-)

I was poor as Joe’s turkey, I listen to my friends until I could afford my own.. 12 years old until 15 or so..

The Beatles.

I didn’t like them, I learned too.. I didn’t have a choice.. I still know every word on every album and 45 ever made.. Dead skunk in the middle of the road.. What kind of lyrics is that? LOL

Really though, I'm glad I did. Kind of like learning the National Anthem, just something you need to learn, to heck with Shakespeare.

Meet The Beatles.  Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man.  Rolling Stones' Aftermath. Sir Adrian Boult conducting Tchaikovsky's Symphony #5. 101 Strings Play the Blues.  Beethoven's Ninth conducted by Ernest Ansermet.  If I had been born a little later, the list would probably have included, Never Mind the Bollocks, Ziggy Stardust, The Abbado-conducted Carmen and The Ramones Leave Home.
