Yes.. that holds up quite well. Still sounds great as if it  
could be written for today.

If your question is "what your first ever memory of music..  
listening to AM radio.. that has stuck?"  ..there are several,  
but the earliest one's that I recall experiencing the "wow  
factor" are.. (and they are not necessary in this order, and I  
don't think I was even in school yet.. The Beatles' "She Loves  
You", The Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (aka Wimbowek),  
Petula Clarks' "Downtown".

Not long after that, I got my first portable AM radio. It went  
through a lot of 9V batteries:

And a few other radios were part of the journey..
