In 1969 𝐀𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐔𝐒 - 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧 hit the Top 40 chart and peaked for 6 weeks at 𝐍𝐨.𝟏 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single was eventually certified platinum in the U.S. and the song listed at No. 66 on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time." For lyrics and names of group members, see below. The song with its uplifting, elegance, and tremendous harmonies, is a combination of two songs written for the 1967 iconoclastic musical Hair by James Rado (lyrics), Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot (music). Instrumental backing was provided by Los Angeles studio musicians known as The Wrecking Crew.

On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (1930-) became the first humans ever to land on the moon. About six-and-a-half hours later, Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.
