Can You Remember These 20 Forgotten Hit Songs from 1960?

Can you remember these 20 chart-topping hits from 1960? Most people can't name even 10 of them today. This was the year right before The Beatles changed everything. A golden moment when American rock and roll, country, and pop collided to create some of the most memorable music ever recorded.
