The early 60's made a lot of difference to the popular music. Rock music emerged as a dominant paradigm, but this shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. I mean, yes, the groups, such as The Searchers, made the charts of the period their own, but we must mention their success did put many of their peers on the same path. I agree, this might be my optimistic view, though let us be honest – we can understand the establishment of the rules that we continue to follow one way or another occurred during the early 60's, the sociopolitical implications of the era tend to be passed over thanks to us not really noticing the elements of the latter in there. Sure, some musicians did that – we'll talk about them soon enough –, though many tunes don't hold the same shock factor as before.

Have we finished yet another year here? I can't believe this, because I keep saying I shall quit this blog one of these days. As you can tell, I'm not sure I will do that soon thanks to me finding a lot of fun in some of my rants, although I must be honest about my posts – I probably repeat myself way too often in here. However, I continue to discuss some music on my journal, since I want to give you a glimpse into some pieces that might've not received as much airplay as they could. Then again, we live in the age, where you can dictate your own airplay. I wish you the best in that, you can locate so many great things on the web, if you stop using the place as a battlefield. The internet remains a library, apply that to your travels here.

Lecture 8: The Searchers, another band from Liverpool, perform on The Ed Sullivan Show a remake of Jackie DeShannon’s “Needles and Pins” released in January 1964. Many of the band’s most successful hits were remakes, including a fabulous version of Ray Charles’ “What’d I Say.” Although founded as a skiffle band, The Searchers quickly evolved into a top-notch Merseybeat group. Big fans of American cinema, founders Mike Pender and John McNally took the band’s name from a critically acclaimed John Ford Western, The Searchers (1956).
