Question: What band, who recorded a majority of their songs from 1962 - 1970, had twenty #1 hits and 217 songs?
Context: Alton Glenn Miller (March 1, 1904 – missing in action December 15, 1944) was an American big band musician, arranger, composer, and bandleader in the swing era.  He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best known big bands. Miller's recordings include "In the Mood", "Moonlight Serenade", "Pennsylvania 6-5000", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "A String of Pearls", "At Last", "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo", "American Patrol", "Tuxedo Junction", "Elmer's Tune", and "Little Brown Jug".  In just four years Glenn Miller scored 23 number one hits - more than Elvis Presley (18 No. 1s, 38 top 10s) and The Beatles (20 No. 1s, 33 top 10s) had in their careers.  While he was traveling to entertain U.S. troops in France during World War II, Miller's aircraft disappeared in bad weather over the English Channel. James Lee Jamerson (January 29, 1936 – August 2, 1983) was an American bass player.  He was the uncredited bassist on most of the Motown Records hits in the 1960s and early 1970s (Motown did not list session musician credits on their releases until 1971), and is now regarded as one of the most influential bass players in modern music history.  He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.  As a session musician he played on 30 Billboard #1 hits, as well as over 70 R&B #1 hits, more than any other bass player in both categories. Louis Jordan was an American popular music innovator who recorded from the 1930s until the 1970s.  During the 1940s, he was the most popular recording artist of the soon-to-be-called rhythm and blues music.  Jordan had eighteen No. 1 hits, which places him as the third most successful singles artist in "Billboard" R&B charts history.  His 1946 recording of "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" is tied for first place for spending the most weeks (eighteen) at No. 1.  Jordan's success was not limited to the R&B market — he also had No. 1 hits on the Billboard Pop and Country charts. Hits (stylized as ...Hits), released in 1998 and again in 2008, following the success of "In the Air Tonight" on the Cadbury ad campaign, is the first greatest hits album by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins.  The collection included fourteen Top 40 hits, including seven American number 1 songs, spanning from the albums "Face Value" (1981) through "Dance into the Light" (1996).  One new Collins recording, a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors", also appeared on the collection and was a popular song on adult contemporary stations.  "Hits" was also the first Phil Collins album to include four songs originally recorded for motion pictures (all of them U.S. number 1 hits) as well as his popular duet with Philip Bailey, "Easy Lover" (a UK number 1 hit). Paul Lavon Davis (April 21, 1948 – April 22, 2008) was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his radio hits and solo career which started worldwide in 1970.  His career encompassed soul, country, and pop music.  Typically, the slower the tempo of a Davis record, the longer it took to reach its peak position.  His most successful songs are 1977's "I Go Crazy", a #7 pop hit which once held the record for the longest chart run on the "Billboard" Hot 100, and 1982's "'65 Love Affair", which at #6 is his highest-charting single.  In the mid-1980s, he also had two country #1 hits as a guest vocalist on songs by Marie Osmond and Tanya Tucker. "He's a Heartache (Looking for a Place to Happen)" is a song written by Jeff Silbar and Larry Henley, and recorded by American country music artist Janie Fricke.  It was released in May 1983 as the third single from the album "It Ain't Easy".  "He's a Heartache (Looking for a Place to Happen)" was Janie Fricke's third number one on the country chart.  Overall in her career, she scored 8 No. 1 hits.  The song was introduced to the public in 1983, along with a couple of other hits that went to number 1, like the song "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy".  Soon after it was released, "He's a Heartache" went to the number 1 spot.  The song was one of many Countrypolitan songs Fricke recorded and became successful with during her career. American singer and songwriter Dierks Bentley has released eight studio albums, one live album, one compilation album, and 28 singles.  In 2003, Capitol Nashville released Bentley's self-titled debut album.  The album's first single, "What Was I Thinkin'", reached number 1 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart, and 22 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, his highest charting single there to date.  Bentley then released two studio albums in 2005 and 2006 and produced several number 1 hits on "Billboard" Hot Country Songs.  In 2007, Bentley released a live concert DVD, "Live and Loud at the Fillmore", which was recorded in Denver, Colorado. The discography of American country music singer Ronnie Milsap consists of 28 albums and 69 singles.  Since releasing his first album in 1971, Milsap has had 40 #1 hits on the "Billboard" country chart and sold over 35 million albums.  In addition, 26 of his U.S. #1 hits reached #1 on the "RPM" Top Country Tracks chart in Canada; three songs that did not reach #1 in the U.S. were #1 in Canada; and two of his U.S. #1 country hits also topped the U.S. adult contemporary chart.  As of 2000, he has recorded 7 gold albums, 1 platinum album, and 1 double-platinum album. In their native United Kingdom, during 1962–1970, the Beatles released 12 studio albums, 13 extended plays (EPs) and 22 singles.  However, the band's international discography is complicated, due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly during their early years on Capitol Records in North America.  The Beatles' discography was originally released on the vinyl format, with full-length long plays (LPs), shorter EPs and singles.  Over the years, the collection has also been released on cassette, 8-track, compact disc (CD), and on a USB flash drive in MP3 and 24-bit FLAC format.  Although their output has come to include vault items and remixed mash-ups, the Beatles' "core catalogue", recorded in 1962–1970, is 217 songs totalling approximately 10 hours of music.  Additionally, they released five tracks that are different versions of previously released songs: "Love Me Do", "Revolution", "Get Back", "Across the Universe" and "Let It Be"; two tracks in German: "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and "Sie Liebt Dich"; and two tracks that are duplicates of songs included on previous albums but also included on the album "Yellow Submarine": "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love". Paul Lester Overstreet (born March 17, 1955) is an American country music singer and songwriter.  He recorded 10 studio albums between 1982 and 2005, and charted 16 singles on the "Billboard" country charts, including two No. 1 hits.  He has also written singles for several other country acts, including No. 1 hits for Randy Travis, Blake Shelton, and Keith Whitley, as well as hits for The Judds and Kenny Chesney.
