"Hey Jude" came out in 1968, the same year as "MacArthur Park," but I don't know the exact date of release,
I was so curious about this I had to look it up.
"MacArthur Park" was released in June 1968.
"Hey Jude" was released in October 1968.
So, provided the full version of "Light My Fire" never got any AM radio airplay, "MacArthur Park" was indeed the first song to break the 3 1/2-minute barrier for AM radio.
