Wow…no Beatles in the top 40 in 1964…that had to be a rare thing.
Funny…I have seen Pernell Roberts sing a little on some episodes…I don’t remember Lorne Greene at all singing on the show…btw I always skip the Wayne Newton episodes…the guy irritates me for some reason.
Yeah, the Fab Four must have been on vacation that week. Still, with no Osmonds around, the overall grade rating must be pretty high!
yes the world was still- as far as it knew- Osmond free in 1964!
