One song I remember is called PT109 and was recorded, I believe, by Jimmy
Dean. Released during the presidential campaign I think.

Dear Melody,
There was a song called, I think, "PT 109." I can't help you much
with anything else about that. The subject of music in teh 1960s is a
huge one. Give your list colleagues some clearer information, and I'm
sure many of us can provide you with songs, books, etc...
For example:
"When" are the sixties you're interested in?
Are you interested in mainstream pop music, folk, rock, jazz,
electronic, experimental?
Are you interested in radio and developments there?
Motown?
British and American comparisons?
These are just a few questions that come to mind for me before trying to
answer you question. Good luck with your project.
