1968 Playlist

The year was 1968. It was a leap year and began on a Monday. The War in Vietnam was raging and so were protests to the War. Martian Luther King Jr., was assassinated. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed. The Apollo 8 spacecraft entered orbit around the moon. The Beatles released the White Album. Hey Jude topped the charts, but you don’t have to hear that here. And the music played on.
