Much prefer the Lulu track posted above to Shout, which is all that seems to get played .
From 1968 & only got to 94 in The US charts, with no UK release Living In The USA by The Steve Miller Band, Living In The USA - Steve Miller Band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyV41-tFPcQ Also from 1968 a nice piece of Bubblegum pop by Salt Water Taffy. Finders Keepers - Salt Water Taffy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=230Fk...eature=related |

Here's a couple from a band called the Mickey Finn:
The Mickey Finn - This Sporting Life (1965) Great old blues tune given an Animals styled makeover. The Mickey Finn - Garden of My Mind (1967) I love this...heavy stuff! |

Don't know if this was top 20 or not but it's one of my favourite Four Tops tracks "Yesterday's Dreams". Beautiful harmonies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUt3Xm2qwO4 Agree re the Lulu track, proof she can sing as well as shout (no pun intended!) |

Continuing Vabosity's first anniversary review of the thread.
I am up to Page 6 now which, just like Page 3, is an absolute treasure house of amazing music and, just like Page 3, getting it down to just five tracks was a very difficult task, but I got there eventually with the most eclectic combination of tracks I could come up with. So, here's my selection from Page 6:- The Who - Legal Matter Originally submitted by Vabosity on 7th June 2010. Double Six - Tickle Toe Originally submitted by ohglobbits on 7th June 2010. Judy Street - What Originally submitted by Mr Wendal on 8th June 2010. Cyril Davies & His R&B All Stars - Country Line Special + Chicago Calling Originally submitted by Mike_1101 on 9th June 2010. The Pentangle - Once I Had A Sweetheart. Originally submitted by Mike_1101 on 10th June 2010. |

Continuing Vabosity's first anniversary review of the thread.
Interesting - the last person to post to this thread was yours truly four days ago, and all I'm doing at the moment (and for the foreseeable future) is re-submitting tracks that have previously been on the thread (albeit a very long time ago). Perhaps there is not an inexhaustible supply of brilliant rare tracks from the glorious decade that was the sixties after all. No, what am I saying? - of course there is! Anyway, here's my selection of five great tracks from Page 7 of the thread:- Tommy Tucker- Hi Heel Sneakers Originally submitted by Vabosity on 11th June 2010. The Sonics - Since I Fell For You Originally submitted by Vabosity on 11th June 2010. The Animals - Club A Go Go Originally submitted by Multimedia81 on 12th June 2010. Helen Shapiro - Look Over Your Shoulder Originally submitted by Capablanca on 13th June 2010. The Yardbirds - Happenings Ten Years Time Ago Originally submitted by Capablanca on 13th June 2010. |

Angel Of The Morning by Merrilee Rush was played on SOTS this morning, my favourite version of the same song comes from PP Arnold .
Angel Of The Morning - PP Arnold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rv9JGRrkME Angel Of The Morning was first recorded by Evie Sands, which was ignored, she also recorded the original version of I Cant Let Go , which was a hit for The Hollies I Can't Let Go - Evie Sands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyPjtme6y98 |

The Sonics - Since I Fell For You
Originally submitted by Vabosity on 11th June 2010. Lenny Welch - Since I Fell For You (1963) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBDfju1F76M We're all familiar with the Rolling Stones' 1964 chart topping version of "Little Red Rooster", but here's another brilliant version from the previous year: Sam Cooke on vocals, Ray Charles on piano, Billy Preston on electric organ and a song written by Willie Dixon - what more could you possibly want? Sam Cooke - Little Red Rooster (1963) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwqfBED1yY0 Let's make it three 1963 tracks in a row and conclude with one that's long been a major guilty pleasure of mine:- Ruby And The Romantics - Our Day Will Come (1963) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--8Ju1jb8Bw |
