For 13 days, the USA and Soviet Union engaged in a tense and terrifying stare down over the presence of nuclear-armed missiles just 90 miles from the United States. That standoff was the Cuban Missile Crisis. In this episode of Memory in Top 40 Music we look back at the top of the chart from October 28, 1962, the day the crisis came to an end. In our Memory Jogger feature, we remember the late Bill Burkette, Craig Mack, Nokie Edwards and Kenny O’Dell.
