Sitar
(Wikimedia)
Ravi Shankar was born on this date in 1920. Shankar introduced George Harrison, and thus pop music, to the sitar. In addition to tracks from The Beatles, can you think of others that use the sitar, whether it's acoustic or electric? We'll spin a set after 9 a.m.
UPDATE Today's set:
The Box Tops "Cry Like a Baby"
The Spinners "It's a Shame"
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Don't Come Around Here No More"
Shocking Blue "Love Buzz"
