The Time Machine makes a stop in 1965 this time. It was a huge year for Bob Dylan, who made not one, but two classics in the same year. Sax man John Coltrane released what many call one of the greatest albums of all time. The British Invasion was going strong with hits from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Them, and Petula Clark. And there were big live releases from B.B. King and Ramsey Lewis. The hills were alive — The Sound of Music was the biggest film of the year; Bonanza, the most popular TV show.
