A history of 1960s girl groups, the Lovin’ Spoonful, the Searchers, Otis Redding and the Spencer Davis Group among American and British Top 20 newcomers of January 1966.

Jump Back – an energetic theme investigated by the likes of Rufus Thomas, Brenda Lee and Big Joe Turner; what a sweet thing that was – a history of 1960s girl groups reaches the winter of 1965/66 when the Supremes, the Marvelettes and the Toys all scored big hits but no other act got anywhere near the Top 20; the Lovin’ Spoonful, the Searchers, Otis Redding and the Spencer Davis Group will be found among a selection of American and British Top 20 newcomers of January 1966.
