We all know that The Beatles were rejected by Decca Records, and that Elvis Presley was told that he should go back to being a truck driver because he would never make it in the music business. Each of the artists featured on today’s show experienced setbacks as well as twists and turns on their journeys to superstardom.
On this episode of ‘From Memphis to Merseyside’ we will be featuring the first single released by each of these artists, followed by their first number one hits. Not only are they great songs, but the stories behind them are fascinating as well.
Finally, we take a look at the very first singles chart specific to Canada, which was released on June 22, 1964. Some of the songs on this chart will surprise you!
Enjoy listening to this special episode as we bring 2022 to a close. Happy New Year from all of us at ‘From Memphis to Merseyside’!
