U.K.: Wonderland - The Shadows
I was born a bit before the British Invasion officially started.

Didn't do the song yet, but thought this was interesting.
On my B-day.
1966, The Jimi Hendrix Experience played their first gig as a band supporting French pop star Johnny Hallyday at the Paris Olympia in France.
OK here's the Songs:

However, Let It Be was the #1 album,.......but the Beatles had broken up by then....
"I want to hold your hand" was N°1 in the US.
Nice.

Here it is:
Carol Kaye played electric bass with hard pick sound (same as many of the Beach Boys songs) and another fellow played a big double bass for the descending eighth notes. Not sure how many songs feature an electric and string bass with different parts.

Everyone was listening to "Urg Killed a Brontosaurus" when I was born. Then they ate it!
