Let me get this straight - the music was recorded about 40 years ago; at least one of the band members are still alive; presumably, others who helped in the recording are still alive, as well. This is a mystery what instruments were used? The Holy Grail of Rock is the Big Bopper’s casket, now available on eBay.

When you think about it, that makes sense. After that, the invasion began, and if it weren't for Motown, American music wouldn't have been played much on its own radio stations in '65.
