My year of birth, too! :)

That was also the year Bob Dylan released "Like A Rolling Stone," perhaps the greatest rock song ever. Another Dylan song, "Mr. Tambourine Man," became a hit single in 1965 for the Byrds.

Also in 1965, the Beatles released "Yesterday" on the U.K. edition of their Help! album. They didn't want it out as a single because they were afraid it would be seen as a Paul McCartney solo single and because it was too much of a pop ballad and not a real rock and roll song. But in America, it was left off the Help! LP so Capitol could release it as a single. Sure enough, it went to number one, and pop critics all said "Paul McCartney is number one without the other Beatles." :eek:
