Three Dog Night - Easy To Be Hard
Originally submitted by Vabosity on 9th December 2010. It also put me in mind to devote an entire post to my other favourite covers of songs from that musical, but I then realised that those covers would be "Aquarius / Let The Sun Shine In" by the Fifth Dimension, "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver and "Ain't Got No - I Got Life" by Nina Simone, all of which were very big hit singles in this country so not really suitable for this thread. However, here is a very good cover of the title song, a single that didn't make the British charts:- The Cowsills - Hair (1969) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFy-yzj02FE |

Never knew Sonny Bono wrote that. It was actually the first track on their 1965 album 'Out Of Our Heads', which was altered somewhat for the US market and rechristened 'December's Children'.

Continuing Vabosity's first anniversary review of the thread.
Here's my selection of five great tracks from Page 29 of the thread (some may consider the first track in today's selection to be too well known for the thread, but it did surprisingly fail to chart in the UK, and anyway it was originally submitted on January 1st, the day on which the OP relaxed thread rules for 24 hours):- Simon and Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair Originally submitted by JohnnyForget on 1st January 2011. Dave Berry - My Baby Left Me Originally submitted by Vabosity on 5th January 2011. Wilson Pickett - 634-5789 Originally submitted by mushymanrob on 16th January 2011. Prince Buster - Al Capone Originally submitted by Vabosity on 19th January 2011. Cilla Black - I've Bee Wrong Before Originally submitted by Capablanca on 23rd January 2011. |

Does anyone else have this 1966 flexidisc advertising Smiths' crisps - anyone recognise the singer?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBivqmbttZI I have another advertising record for Ovaltine, issued around the same time. It's a solid 7" EP featuring various arrangements of the theme by Eric Delaney, not a flexidisc. I can't find it on YouTube but this is a re-recording of the theme from 1980 recorded in the original 1930s style, you may remember it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EQ11Ob-d4A I don't think Eric Delaney had any hits in the 60s but here he is on Parlophone in 1962 - sounding rather like Ray Conniff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdd5llCQoOQ and "Manhattan Spiritual" (1961). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvSuXdZQQdU Has Bert Weedon been on here before? - Big Beat Boogie + Theme From A Summer Place - (Top Rank 1960 - produced by Tony Hatch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-eQ4N-Krtw Finally (yes I know it's from just before the 60s) Joe `Mr Piano` Henderson - Treble Chance ( Pye 1959) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpOazP8JUl0 in the style of Russ Conway. |

Film themes
In the run up to last Christmas Trunk records unearthed the previously unreleased Basil Kirchin score to the filmdoc Primitive London with it's squealy title music and a track similar to the theme to Taxi Driver. But a blog post took me to an even better theme he composed to a 1967 horror film, brooding with menace. Basil Kirchin - The Shuttered Room Similarly the doom-laden Georges Delerue composed title track to the film of the same name describes the feeling that replaces love when it becomes a loyalty akin to vengeance.. contempt Georges Delerue - Le Mepris And finally, two years before Nancy Sinatra sang the title track to You Only Live Twice, she sang the Bond style theme to this film which she also starred in. Nancy Sinatra - The Last Of The Secret Agents |

The Jaynetts - Sally Go Round The Roses
Originally submitted by Vabosity on 26th January 2011. From a cracking track to a cracking band. There was certainly a lot more to Procol Harum than "Whiter Shade Of Pale". The band continued to record excellent music for quite a few years after the huge success of that famous single, and the most recent posts on the Seventies thread are discussing the merits of some Procol Harum tracks released during that decade. Here's a Procol Harum track I really like, which I don't believe has been on this thread before:- Procol Harum - A Salty Dog (1969) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUcAEdkWxXM |

Not a repost but a link to a Donovan cover I'd mentioned liking but wasn't sure of towards the start of the thread.
Judy Collins - Sunny Goodge Street Another great Donovan cover by Joan Baez and her sister. Joan Baez & Mimi Farina - Legend of a Girl Child Linda And Mimi with her soon-to-die husband Richard Farina, a folk singer who was a great influence on Bob Dylan, with a self-penned song about a man who lives life on the edge. Richard & Mimi Farina - Hard Lovin' Loser |
