Our Take

Ah, 1962, a year of bouffant hairdos, beehive dresses, and music that makes you want to twist and shout. Various Artists' compilation album "America's Greatest Hits 1962" is a time capsule of the greatest hits from across the pond, featuring iconic tracks from the likes of Elvis Presley, Dion, and even a young Bob Dylan.

The album kicks off with The Crystals' infectious "He's a Rebel," a powerhouse of a track that will have you bopping along from the very first note. Moving on to The Tornados' instrumental smash hit "Telstar," you can almost feel yourself being transported to another dimension, far away from the woes of 2021.

But perhaps the real standout track on this compilation is Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl." With its smooth vocals and doo-wop harmonies, this song is the epitome of 60s cool. You can almost picture yourself cruising down Route 66 with the top down, sunglasses on, and this track blaring from the speakers.

Overall, "America's Greatest Hits 1962" is a must-have for any music lover looking to add a touch of nostalgia to their collection. So grab your dancing shoes, put on your best retro outfit, and let the groovy sounds of 1962 wash over you. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
