Song 813: This week the playlist recognizes Everybody Loves Somebody by Dean Martin, written by Irving Taylor and Ken Lane, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. I had paid some attention to the sounds coming from nearby transistor radios in the early 1960s, but when February of 1964 arrived and the Fab Four rocked my world, they became the center of my musical circle. At first I mainly focused on the British Invaders, but as August unfolded, I started singing along with Mr. Martin's claims about complete universal affection as well. At the time, I felt obsessed by a young female my age that I shared school classes with, but I didn't speak with her because I felt too shy to do so. My attraction to her made if well worth waiting for the moment when we would touch, but although my dream was overdue, that never happened, in part because her family decided to move to California as the following year's summer arrived.
