Artists That Hit #1 With Their Debut Single (1964-65)

Here's another batch of artists that were able to reach #1 with their first charting single.  There are just shy of 1,100 #1 hits in the Rock Era, and over 200 of them have come from artists who tasted their first success with a #1 song.  Amazing.
