Graduation Year Hits

"Top Billboard Hits"
September 1965 - September 1966
This music section is based on the Billboard's top number one hits, listed for our senior year September 1965 and ending September 1966. Please note the music link at the far right column of this table. Clicking on one of the bars takes you to one of six separate sound pages where a sound file will/or can be made to play. To keep the music-gods from suing, the sound files are short sampling of four to five songs creating a medley set. The files are simple .wav files and have been heavily compressed as to purposely degrade the sound quality, there in turn discouraging any song theft. The music is included on this website for historic and educational purposes only and for the purpose of enabling classmates to re-experience the popular sounds we listened to during our final year of high school.
