My uncle is having his HS school in September (class of 1964) can anyone tell me what music played during senior prom in 1964?

Like titles and singers? i do have a list of popular songs from the year but there are so many not sure which were played...and popular

http://www.musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/1964.htm lists the top 100 songs of 1964. You really can't go wrong with any of them. I wasn't born until 1984 and know at least 80 of the top 100.

Of that list, probably two of the more popular "slow-dance" songs were A Summer Song, and especially Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying. The Beatles were hugely popular that summer, but remember that their first US releases didn't include any really slow songs.

Don't forget that at a prom in the spring of '64, many if not most of the songs played would have been from 1963. Some of the top romantic songs from THAT year include, Bobby Vinton's Blue on Blue, and Blue Velvet, and the classic Up on the Roof. The summer of '63 was the Summer of Surf, and it's a sure bet they would have been dancing to all those surf songs at the prom.
