‘’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.

"Charlie Brown" by The Coaster went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles
charts, and was the first of three top-ten hits for the Coasters that year. It is
best known for the phrase, "Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?" King
Curtis plays the tenor saxophone during the instrumental and the fade out
of the record.

RCA Records received 1 million advance orders for “Love Me Tender”,
making it a gold record before it was even released.
