The song "Green Tambourine" was the primary hit by the 1960s Ohio–based
rock group The Lemon Pipers. It has been credited as being one of the first
bubblegum pop chart-toppers. Released towards the end of 1967, it peaked
at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week at the beginning of
February, 1968 and earned the group a gold record for over a million
copies sold. The record remained on the chart for three months, the first
U.S. number-one hit for the Buddah label.

The Everly Brothers recorded "Let It Be Me" in New York City. It
was the first time they recorded outside of Nashville and it was
the first time they recorded with strings. The record reached
number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.

‘’Mixed-up Confusion” was Dylan’s first single to be released in
the United States. According to legend, he wrote the song in a
cab on the way to the Columbia Studios in New York for the
recording session in November of 1962. 

Bob Dylan (Robert Allen Zimmerman) turned 74 in May.

Billboard listed the song as debuting on 14 January 1956 on the Best Sellers
in Stores chart at #25 and on the Top 100 at #56. The Decca single peaked
at no. 6 on the Billboard and CashBox pop singles chart in 1956.
