I know lots of sixties music, but the very early sixties music prior to the Beatles is not my forte, not least due to my age.

'The Twist.' It's the only one that says Sixties, the rest are more like the Fifties.

A song released in 1960 which is a trivia question.
What is the name of the shortest song (minutes and seconds) to ever reach #1.
Here it is all 1 minute and thirty six seconds of a #1 hit.
And reached the number one spot on November 21, 1960.
