THE BEATLES released the Paul McCartney
written ballad YESTERDAY on 13 September 1965,
today 60 years ago.

Story goes the entire melody came to McCartney in a dream one night in his room at the home of his then-girlfriend Jane Asher and her family. Upon waking, he hurried to a piano and played the tune to avoid forgetting it.

It went to #1 of the Singles Chart in the UK,
the US and several European countries.

Golden duo SIMON and GARFUNKEL scored one of their biggest
hits with THE SOUND OF SILENCE, released 60 years ago, on
12 September 1965.

The original acoustic version was recorded in March 1964 for their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., released that year in October to disappointing sales.

The overdubbed electric remix, as the whole world knows
it, took them, a year later to #1 seat on the US Charts.
