[78-L] the end of the Great Singers Era

[rjh334578gmail]

Joe, I really appreciate your taking the time and effort to log these  
numbers for us.

Here we have the metric by which we can quantify the Rock Era and we  
find out it took until 1967 to achieve 50% of the # 1 hits. That means  
the Great Singers Era lasted a lot longer than 1955 or 1960.
