Chartbusters Of 1961

This title is very cool as it contains very rare songs from 1961, many of which we have never seen on other DVDs.  It includes many of the top hits from 1961, including rock and roll, some country and other Top 40 hits.  This 5 disc set includes 153 songs, by 83 artists.  The majority of songs are original 1960 performances, which is great as the artists are still so very young.  Total running time is almost 6 1/2 hours.
