Absolutely magnificent! The greatest movie theme ever! Good movie too.
There's an advert/jingle currently using the theme on TV that gives my heart a jolt every time I hear it. |

Another great early Neil Diamond song is 'Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon'. Here's a 1967 vintage clip of Neil singing it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc_ZN...eature=related what a lovely sentiment in that song.......... |

i think your being abit harsh there, the coral did some great tracks that drew unashamedly from the 60's, and why not update the sound?
Well i do like The Coral but i felt that Dreaming of You was a bit blatant and crossed the line of 'drawing' on a sound and ripping off a melody.. Here is The Action with their version of The Harlem Shuffle - the mod's mod band - produced by George Martin but never had a big hit - they still have a big following and the like's of Weller hold them in high esteem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8Fq...eature=related |

'living above your head' was superb, why wasnt that huge?
thanks for posting the vogues, i remember it now! was it used for tv or film score?The Vogues' "5 O'Clock World" was used as the theme to "The Drew Carey Show" in the US for a few seasons in the 90's. Julian Cope did a cover version on his album "My Nation Underground" (1988) that was released as a single but didn't chart, which cunningly incorporated a chorus from Petula Clark's "I Know A Place", written by Tony Hatch. Interestingly, the original B-side of the Vogues' single was "Call Me", written by... Tony Hatch! |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8Fq...eature=related Ronnie Wood's old band The Birds also deserved better. Their version of 'Leaving Here' is fantastic, even if the guitar is slightly out of tune and the drummer sounds like he's bashing ice-cream tubs.

The Action were fantastic. Hard to believe that 'I'll Keep On Holding On' and 'Shadows & Reflections' completely flopped. Reg King was one of the best blue-eyed soul singers the UK ever produced.

Their version of 'Leaving Here' is fantastic, even if the guitar is slightly out of tune and the drummer sounds like he's bashing ice-cream tubs. ![]() ![]() By way of a link and IMO one of the best R&B bands of the time, here's Ronnie's brother Art - with the Artwoods http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSVfo...aynext_from=ML |

Kaleidoscope - Jenny Artichoke:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyt3RC5Ap6I I love just about everything by Kaleidoscope (the British band). They morphed into 'Fairfield Parlour' and were just as blimmin' good! ![]() Fairfield Parlour - Bordeaux Rose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2AGNG3zg-s That second one is 'cheating' a bit as the release date is 1970. |

Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm Clock
Along with Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” this is probably the definitive 1967 American Psychedelic pop song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_S-YaRLa8 I Love You by the Volumes Splendid Doo-Wop song from 1962. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6lTzTinWgM Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers Another fine American artist completely overlooked in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaR3WO71j4 I Fought the Law by the Bobby Fuller Four The Clash version is good, but not a patch on this as far as I’m concerned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0sI6...eature=related Promise Me You’ll Cry by the She Trinity The all-girl British beat group She Trinity recorded a fine cover of the previous song called "He Fought the Law", which I was also going to feature. When trying to find it on Youtube I discovered this other excellent track by them, so I’ve chosen that instead. http://youtube.com/watch?v=rsxyxcShowM&feature=related Trivia corner The bass player with the aforementioned She Trinity was a certain Miss Pauline Moran. In the 1990’s the very same Pauline Moran was an actress playing the part of Miss Lemon in the ITV series Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Compare these two photos of the lady. The older Pauline Moran as the prim and proper, middle-aged Miss Lemon with other members of the Poirot cast. http://fedcba.ning.com/forum/topics/...-tutorshercule The younger Pauline Moran with other members of the She Trinity. She is the dark-haired one in the very short skirt, looking anything but prim and proper! http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/IMG.jpg |

It is therefore a clever and well-written emotional song to have this effect on me.

Brilliant thread!
Apologies for the couple of tunes I included that have already been mentioned (I'm working my way through and missed them!) This is a 60s treasure I bet not many have heard! It's the band Dutch master guitarist Jan Akkerman was in, before Focus were formed - Russian Spy And I by The Hunters. |

Thanks for your understanding Mushymanrob. I didn't feel like admitting this last week. It's just that I got to know the song very soon after becoming distraught about someone dear to me receiving some unfair and devastating news, and upon hearing this song bursting into tears!

Shocking Blue - Send Me A Postcard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upO7h5FsIYI An eclectic mix from me today:- Little Red Rooster by Sam Cooke Very different to the Stones version, but just as awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfbX-...eature=related Pushing Too Hard by the Seeds Classic American Garage/Psych single from 1966. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0c2...eature=related Spooky by Classics IV I also like the Dusty Springfield cover, and would say that the fairly recent version by the Puppini Sisters (which they perform in the last but one episode of Jonathan Creek) is nothing short of magnificent! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUf4F9VXo_s Hit Record by Brooke Benton The song’s lyrics are an instructions manual on how to make a hit record. The irony is this was never a hit record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk4NhLMgDG8 Laisser Tomber Les Filles by France Gall You can’t beat a good bit of French Ye-Ye music! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMhO0Kfl5Ck Kicks by Paul Revere and the Raiders Yet another in the long line of good American sixties acts who were completely ignored in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDZ__...eature=related Where or When by Dion and the Belmonts From January 1960, so only just qualifying. Very, very cheesy, but I absolutely love this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c64s6m10XOg |
