My favourite Neil Diamond single, my favourite version of "Handbags and Gladrags", and Tim Rose's "Morrning Dew", one of my favourite tracks ever. My selection is as follows:- "My Little Red Book" by Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsSM-DDjuhQ "Love Of The Loved" by Cilla Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b99SmcsDbg "98.6" by Keith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V44vvsWZxqI and the original and imho definitely the best version of "Walk Away Renee" by The Left Banke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uqBTzfcIk4 |

None of these were hits at the time but other bands would take them/parts of them and have hits with them...

Circles - Les Fleur De Lys
Microbes - George Harrison Father Cannot Yell - Can Remember Love - Yoko Ono I'll Make You Happy - The Easybeats A Minha Menina - Os Mutantes Blag - Smile There's some off the top of my head. I do have strange taste in music for a 19-year old!

Good song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHjq4...eature=related Non Ho L’eta by Gigliola Cinquetti The fact that this is the 1964 Eurovision Song Contest winner is irrelevant - it's hardly Boom Bang A Bloody Bang! The girl is beautiful, her voice is beautiful, the song is beautiful and it’s sung in Italian. What more could you possibly want? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utd9c...eature=related |

I absolutely love these two tracks!
A great Lennon and McCartney song. Cilla does a terrific job with it, but I think I prefer the Three Dog Night version, but that's from the Seventies so it doesn't qualify for this thread.

This might be a good thread to ask this. A mate played me a song by an obscure 60's band ages ago which I liked, however, I can't remember the song, or the bands name.
It was a short band name, possibly only 3 letters (in full, so it wasn't a The 3 letters band). Any ideas? |

Yes, very. I believe Kate Moss covered it with someone (Jarvis Cocker, maybe?) but I can't bring myself to find it and listen to it.
