DavesCarWash (3 months ago) Congrats to all the young people out there who are seeking out the treasures from this era in music!! It must be a stunning experience to hear genuine MUSICIANS with almost unlimited talent....Del Shannon, Bobby Darin, Dian Dimucci, Ben E King, Jackie Wilson, Everly Brothers Ricky Nelson....too many to list but find and listen to them all. It will be the best investment of your young lives and your friends (if they know anything about music) will envy you.....show them the way!!!!
