Some excellent tracks still being selected. Add me to the list of people who think that "Where Are You Now?" by Jackie Trent is a great song. I also really like "Passing Strangers" and "Days of Pearly Spencer".
Seven more:- You Showed Me by the Turtles The Lightning Seeds had a pretty big hit with this song in the 1990’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4njn3_i4oU Have Love Will Travel by the Sonics My favourite track by arguably the best of all the American sixties garage bands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20S_kwNb4rg Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto Great little song. I think this was actually a Top Five hit, but I'm including it because how often does a Japanese record make the charts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtXQ31F1A-k She Comes In Colors by Love A track from Da Capo, which is imo is a better Love album than the much lauded Forever Changes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SkJt...eature=related Treat Her Right by Roy Head Classic blue-eyed Soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-wYRkia6Y&feature=fvw Sally Go Round the Roses by the Jaynettes Strangely hypnotic rhythm to this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKoak...aynext_from=ML Yes My Darling Daughter by Eydie Gorme American song with a Trad Jazz feel and a distinctly Russian sounding melody. I do like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tncKohj_otI |

My World is Empty Without You - not much of a hit for Diana Ross & The Supremes - if you compare it with their other success that is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOqSwFUyKHE I really like the Barbara McNair version as well If this songs sounds familiar but you hadn't heard it before that's because it was ripped off by The Coral with Dreaming of You! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJrGKqYYfdY |

A Joe Meek classic - The Blue Rondos 'Little Baby'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9dX6jPHDHc Everybody knows the cover versions of this 1961 record, but here's the (nearly) original You Don't Love Me by Willie Cobbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsJMfYDUNCE (it borrows VERY heavily from a 1955 song by Bo Diddley- She's Fine She's Mine, although I wouldn't totally trust Bo not to have nicked it from someone else himself)) |

Here are my contributions for today:- A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke What a song! What a voice! The greatest Soul singer ever imho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQU4torUz-Q Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand by the Beatles Not so much a rarity as a curiosity, the Beatles singing in German! You’ll recognise the tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdYrUPa-6ko Five O’Clock World by the Vogues Good track, despite the yodelling. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2v...ck-world_music Big Shot by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band “You got a light, mac?” “No, but I’ve got a dark brown overcoat”. Brilliant! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYULQT2ObkU Living Above Your Head by Jay and the Americans/Walker Brothers Two consecutive versions of the same song on the one clip. I’m a Walkers fan, but definitely prefer Jay’s version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et1l2tftdlA&feature=fvw Hanky Panky by Tommy James and the Shondells This lot made some great singles, so I can’t understand why Mony Mony was their only UK hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRXe...eature=related Standing Still by the Association The rather pleasant B-side of the brilliant “Pandora’s Golden Heebie Jeebies”, which I can’t seem to find a Youtube clip for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B46AYizLskY These Arms of Mine by Otis Redding The first ever Stax release of imho the second greatest Soul singer ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-FQL-tJ3ic |

Re: my earlier question. I was talking out of my backside I'm afraid.
The band were a 90's Canadian Punk Rock Band called Gob, however the song I was thinking of was their version of the 60's classic Mr Sandman, hence my confusion. So, sorry about that, but thanks for your help anyway

'matthew and son' , 'friday on my mind', 'its my life', to mention but a few.

'cherry cherry', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvXCYqd8AAs somehow this too failed to chart... so he re-worked it for an up and coming new pop group and this was the result!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xow8HjjN9Q |

Hanky Panky by Tommy James and the Shondells Fantastic pop records. I can't understand why 'I Think We're Alone Now', 'Crimson & Clover' and 'Crystal Blue Persuasion' weren't huge hits.This lot made some great singles, so I can’t understand why Mony Mony was their only UK hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRXe...eature=related Quote:
Standing Still by the Association Yep...criminally ignored here in the UK. 'Windy' and 'Never My Love' should have been massive but flopped here.The rather pleasant B-side of the brilliant “Pandora’s Golden Heebie Jeebies”, which I can’t seem to find a Youtube clip for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B46AYizLskY Same with the Young Rascals. 'How Can I Be Sure' should have been huge. |
