The Time Machine takes a trip back to 1963 this time. President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas; the world mourned. We also lost Patsy Cline in a plane crash. The British Invasion was just getting underway. It was the year of Johnny Cash's signature song Ring of Fire. The sound of young America was everywhere with big Motown hits from Martha and the Vandellas, and others. It's all 1963, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
