John Leyton scored with the dramatic “Johnny Remember Me,” as The Shadows showcased instrumental brilliance on “Apache.” Meanwhile, Helen Shapiro’s “You Don’t Know” revealed a powerful new voice, and Eden Kane added youthful energy with “Well I Ask You.” Together, these hits defined a year of transition, just before the British Invasion reshaped pop music forever.
