Crossover is a term applied to musical works or performers appearing on two or more of the record charts which track differing musical tastes, or genres. In some contexts the term "crossover" can have negative connotations, implying the watering-down of a music's distinctive qualities to accommodate to mass tastes. For example, in the early years of rock and roll, many songs originally recorded by African-American musicians such as Fats Domino were re-recorded by white artists (such as Pat Boone)("Ain't That a Shame") in a more toned-down style (often with changed lyrics) that lacked the hard edge of the original versions. These covers were popular with a much broader audience. Crossover music had a major impact on the 60s and below are listed my choice of the top crossover country hits of the 60s. These are in no particular order. Want to add something or argue email me at webmaster@the60sofficialsite.com or leave a message in the guestbook.
