'65 Love Affair | '' '65 Love Affair '' is a song performed by Paul Davis on his album Cool Night . Released in 1982 , the song hit # 6 for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1982 . It spent 20 weeks on the chart , and on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 chart , it placed at # 39 , and on Cashbox 's chart at # 60 . This song marked Davis 's second single release upon his departure from Bang Records to Arista , the first being `` Cool Night '' . The style of '' '65 Love Affair '' was reminiscent of such blue-eyed soul groups as Hall & Oates , a vein that Davis had not explored before . Davis had originally titled the song '' '55 Love Affair '' , but Arista felt that some modernization was needed to target an audience whose teenage years had occurred in the 1960s , including Davis himself . As Arista pointed out , Davis was only 7 years old in 1955 , too young for any meaningful `` love affair '' , but was 17 years old in 1965 , perfect for the song . Davis 's previous hits had been country-oriented or ballads . The format change to pop proved to be quite marketable . '' '65 Love Affair '' and `` Cool Night '' , which were recorded at the same time , ranked first and third in terms of his Hot 100 peaks ( `` I Go Crazy '' ranked second ) . In spite of this popular success , Davis was so disgusted with the commercialized result that he opted out of his contract with Arista and signed with Razor & Tie Record Company , a label on which Davis never charted on the Hot 100 . The music video is composed entirely of news archives from the year 1965 , including footage of then US President Lyndon Johnson , the Vietnam War , and the Watts riots . |

1755 Cape Ann earthquake | The 1755 Cape Ann earthquake took place off the coast of the British Province of Massachusetts Bay ( present-day Massachusetts ) on November 18 . At between 6.0 and 6.3 on the Richter scale , it remains the largest earthquake in the history of Massachusetts . No one was killed , but it damaged hundreds of buildings in Boston and was felt as far north as Nova Scotia and as far south as South Carolina . Sailors on a ship more than 200 mi offshore felt the quake , and mistook it at first for their ship running aground . Many residents of Boston and the surrounding areas attributed the quake to God , and it occasioned a brief increase in religious fervor in the city . Modern studies estimate that if a similar quake shook Boston today , it would result in as much as $ 5 billion in damage and hundreds of deaths . Some discussion has revolved around the idea that this may have been a remotely triggered event . |
