The name Gob has come to mind, if that's any help.

I've You Tube'd it and can only find a modern punk band though. Unless there was a band called Gob back then?

I've heard of Gong, it wasn't them sadly.

I think it's about time to contribute some more songs, otherwise this excellent thread will drop too far down the thread list and possibly be forgotten about.

Spanish Harlem by Ben E. King
Hypnotic riff. Wonderful trumpet solo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGd6CdtOqEE

Get Together by The Youngloods
There were quite a few hippie anthems in the late sixties; this is my particular favourite.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4fWN...aynext_from=ML

Wondrous Place by Billy Fury
Billy Fury had some very big hits in the early sixties. I’m amazed to discover that this superb track was not one of them, getting no higher than 25 in the UK singles chart.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGPbA9E8yy0

Warm Of The Sun by the Beach Boys
I believe this was the B-side to the 1964 single Dance, Dance, Dance which failed to chart in the UK, which means that this brilliant song definitely qualifies for this thread. I know it’s been said a thousand times before, but I’ll say it again: Brian Wilson is an absolute genius!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_TcWUslfvE

mushymanrob · 30-05-2010, 18:39

i have a few more in mind for later in the week, so it wont die just yet

rhod · 30-05-2010, 19:49

The Casinos - Then you can tell me goodbye

Bobby Parker - Watch your step

James & Bobby Purify - Shake a tail feather

Glen Campbell - Guess I'm dumb

The Beatles - Stairway to heaven....

Multimedia81 · 30-05-2010, 21:58

A song that is reasonably well known but was not a hit in the UK was the Velvelettes with Needle In A Haystack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VweadeTCvNA

One of the best sad songs ever was from the 60s by Jackie Trent: Where Are You Now My Love? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJLESaA_XrA

That's really all I know, a long show I know but thanks for helping.

Only one I can think of at the Moment is Gun - Race With The Devil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kduHV...eature=related

Urban Bassman · 30-05-2010, 22:45

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

Do You Believe in Magic

How about GONN?

There’s also The Gants but it doesn’t fit your description of the band

bunny sigler - let the good times roll http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3KWK3Dd7uQ billy nicholls - would you believe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXajMnidL38 duncan browne - on the bombsite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P9ijHQfOlw peter sarstedt - frozen orange juice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rykS25x7Jhk david mcwilliams - days of pearly spencer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VDS8uArR0A mostly from 1967/8 .

tomvoxx · 31-05-2010, 10:25

These artists were big later in their careers but listen to these forgotten 60's classics

Elkie Brooks - Nothing Left To Do But Cry

Slade - Wild Winds Are Blowing

Robert Knight - Everlasting Love (the original version of The Love Affair 70's hit)

And this little beauty - a US hit from 1968 recorded about 30 years after they first hit the charts

Mills Brothers - Cab Driver

Urban Bassman · 31-05-2010, 11:19

I love Johnny Kidd And The Pirates but I've always had a soft spot for The Guess Who's version of Shaking All Over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxuqU...eature=related

Was really surprised when it turned up in an advert (for paint I think) last year.

Urban Bassman · 31-05-2010, 11:26

And for those of us old enough to remember The Playmates - Beep Beep. A Junior Choice favourite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1c4Q...eature=related

That is the American Version which sang about a cadillac and nash rambler.

A European version was also recorded which substituted Limousine and Bubble Car.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBfoXqt7w1M

Urban Bassman · 31-05-2010, 11:29

And finally for now:

A hit in 1958 and again in 1968 - two fantastic voices

Billy Eckstein and Sarah Vaughan - Passing Strangers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk9NVZMNyiM

fmradiotuner1 · 31-05-2010, 11:58

Crack in The World

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_in_the_World

Dr. Steven Sorenson plans to tap the geothermal energy of the Earth's interior by means of a thermonuclear device detonated deep within the Earth. Despite dire warnings by fellow scientist Ted Rampian, Dr Sorenson proceeds with the experiment after secretly learning that he is terminally ill. This experiment causes a crack to form and grow within the earth's crust, which threatens to split the earth in two if it is not stopped in time.

Its quite a good film and here it will be out on DVD very soon finally as it has not been on TV since the 90s.
