R and B from '65, Hits from July '52 and '62 and songs on the theme of "Help Me."

Help Me! – a thematic cry for assistance from The Beach Boys, Sonny Boy Williamson, The Spencer Davis Group, Hank Locklin and others.
The R&B No. 1 Hits – the series has now reached the winter of 1965/66 when Wilson Pickett, James Brown & Stevie Wonder were among the chart toppers.
The Big 3 of July 1952 – headline news and top tunes of sixty years ago, when Vera Lynn was leading the export drive.
And a big selection of More British Top 20 Newcomers of June 1962, - at last I get to finish a busy turnover time in the charts fifty years ago, with Jimmy Justice, The Everly Brothers, Dave Brubeck and more.
