Poll: May 1963 Songs

May 1963. One year before I was born.  About a 1/3 of these songs I had to go back and listen to, as I was unfamiliar with them.  Early 60's a big time for the Girl Group sound, as my #1 pick is a classic of the genre.   

For this latest poll, 40 songs were picked to vote on.  My own rankings are at the end of each title. Listen to this countdown at popgoldradio.com.
