What a great thread. Would be great if we could have similar ones for 20's -40's, the 50's, 70's, 80's and 90's.
I've enjoyed clicking on a few of the random links and heard a few great tracks which I downloaded. Its a shame that there was much talent and great songs sung pre 1800's that never got recorded. There might welll have been some fantastic voices. |

Absolute tragedy that this was never a hit over here for the Loving Spoonful. Probably one of the most perfect pop songs ever written.

There might welll have been some fantastic voices. i like traditional folk (pre 1800's), several groups/bands over the years have recorded versions of olde songs. the city waites and steeleye span for eg. |

I'll go along with that. I've got it on a compilation album,Golden Hour Of Simon Says. There's several other tracks from Loving Spoonful on it along with 1910 Fruitgum Company (who had the hit with Simon Says),Ohio Express,The Lemon Pipers and others.
edit: video has been removed from Youtube for copyright violation. The Lovin' Spoonful - Do You Believe In Magic? (1965) I agree with the sentiments about it being such a perfect pop song and also agree that it was an absolute tragedy that it was never a hit in the UK. I find it a sad indictment of the British record buying public of the day that such an excellent band (The Lovin' Spoonful) featuring such a brilliant songwriter (John Sebastian) only had two major UK hits ("Daydream" and "Summer In The City"). Here are some other good Lovin' Spoonful tracks:- Younger Girl (1965) Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind? (1966) Didn't Want To Have To Do It (1966) Rain On The Roof (1966) Darling Be Home Soon (1967) |

You're right, they won't! They did play two days ago! Try again in a couple of hours. Failing that, anyone interested should check these tracks out independently, they're all great songs and definitely worth a listen!

I've tried some of the earlier links on this thread, some are playing and some are not. Looks like a Youtube problem, which will hopefully be resolved very soon.

Yep...Youtube problem. I was trying a few tracks to post later that threw up an error message.
Lovin' Spoonful should be in everyone's collection! Fantastic band.

Bump.

The last thing I'd call myself is a fan of Country and Western music, however, here are some Country-flavoured pop songs from the sixties that I really like:-
Brenda Lee - I'm Sorry (1960) Bobby Darin - Things (1962) Marty Robbins - Devil Woman (1962) The Lovin' Spoonful - Nashville Cats (1966) Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood - Jackson (1967) |

Oh! 'Jackson' has just reminded me of a cracking bit of rockabilly:
Wanda Jackson - Tongue Tied (1961) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76k7cL7qKuc |
