Number Sevens
I'm continuing with my lists of records that made it into my personal top ten between 1960 and 1965 and this time it's the turn of discs that made it as high as number seven. A mixed bag here, with a couple of trad jazz clangers in 1960, but plenty of classics from then on, including the likes of Fats Domino, Ernie K-Doe, the Drifters, Chuck Jackson, the Miracles, Lazy Lester and Ronnie Hawkins.
