"Southtown, U.S.A." #15 2/22/1964 Bonus

This is where the pop music scene was in America when the Beatles arrived on our shores. The Dixie Belles (or Dixiebelles) were a girl group from Memphis that for whatever reason had a definite New Orleans vibe going on. Like their previous record "Down At Papa Joe's," this one from February '64 had quite the Dixieland arrangement, what with the horns and clarinet and rollicking piano. It was their second and last hit.
