Still sounds as good today ., probably my favourite track in the "one hit wonder" category
ill continue to break the rules, today . in light of this sad loss todays submission will be on thunderclap newman who had a few releases just over the border in 1970.
Today would have been the 74th birthday of the late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal had his going forward not taken place last October, if only I had officially discovered him before then, I love him so much!!! Go here for one of my many favorite songs of his named "Helping Hand" released in 1969.

Pete Wingfield's Eighteen with a Bullet from 1975 (OK, so not strictly sixties, but he was a contemporary of mine at the same school, so this is for him). He did actually play with a sixties band called Jellybread in 1969, so I'll make that he just qualifies!

jellybread qualifies, but 18 with a bullet is neither 60's nor rare!

This is as good a place as any to report on his death. The 60s Appreciation Thread seems to have sunk without trace.
I am listening to Diana Luke's 60s show as I write, and maybe she will mention his death shortly.
God bless you and his family always!!!
