A new year, and a new feature for 5 on Friday -- The Hit Makers.

Once a month I'm going to feature the songs that launched careers. Starting with the British Invasion in the early-to-mid 60s, I'll be looking at different musical styles and the groups or singers from those styles who I love the best.

  

1 - I Want to Hold Your Hand -- The Beatles -- 1963

2 - You Really Got Me -- The Kinks -- 1964

3 - The House of the Rising Sun -- The Animals -- 1964 

4 - My Generation -- The Who -- 1965

5 - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction -- The Rolling Stones

5 on Friday - Set 83

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

I just made it through a crazed revisions marathon over the Labor Day weekend, getting my vampire manuscript ready for three readers so they can give it the very last once-over. Then I'll be handing it to the formatter to prepare for e-book distribution. Hold on! I'm comin'!


Needless to say, I leaned heavily on some pulse-quickening music playlists to keep me going. Here are a few of the tunes that saved my ass last weekend.
