More of the American charts for July of 1964.     The Beatles, George Martin, Lesley Gore, Solomon Burke, Burt Bacharach/Hal David and more.     Stick around for a supercut that includes the Carpenters, Luther Vandross (duetting with Aretha) and more!    #madeonzencastr.

We start in on the American charts for July of 1964.     Capitol decides to "out-VJ" the VJ label, while Arthur Fiedle and the Hollyridge Strings invade the charts as well.     All this and more!    We keep on playing those instrumental Beatles covers for-ever! #MadeonZencastr

In addition to our look at the British charts for July of 1964, we feature "Rock and Roll Musicals".     From "Jailhouse Rock" to "Summer Holiday", "It's Trad Dad (aka Ring-a-Ding-Rhythm)", through to "A Hard Day's Night" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey".    Hint:    A certain Beatles song ENTERS the chart at number three.    All this, and more Do-Wah-Diddy than you can Diddy-Dum-Diddy-Do to.  #madeonZencastr
