Methinks it is time to stop this thread languishing on Page 2, and get it back to the top of Page 1 where it belongs!
Hi Heel Sneakers by Tommy Tucker One of my all-time favourite Rhythm ’n’ Blues tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD57xU3zumI&feature=fvw One by Harry Nillson Great track from 1968 - my favourite song by this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nB5VxPOoio Since I Fell For You by the Sonics In a previous post I said that the Sonics were arguably the best of all the American sixties garage bands. This ballad is very untypical, not really like anything else they recorded, which is perhaps why I like it so much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZsHpNikIU Cool Jerk by the Capitols Classic dance track from 1966. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfFQQ01KbFk |

The Velvelettes' Needle in a Haystack became one of my all-time fave songs on a very meaningful day about 5 years ago. I cannot understand how it was either not released as a single here or was not a hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VweadeTCvNA
The B side of the Animals' Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood was the very quirky Club A Go-Go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0-7E4D38F8 No sacrilege intended, but Girls Aloud copied the intro for their hit Biology. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBPtP4t2J1k While I find Girls Aloud ok, this has been my fave song of theirs and the only song of theirs to be one of my faves of the year in question! BBC Radio Leeds do an eclectic 60s show with Diana Luke from 9pm to 1am on Saturday evenings. I am listening to it at present, at least between tracking down these songs on Youtube! |

I always think of 'Needle In a Haystack' as one of the quintessential 'Songs of the Sixties'.........well of the 60s i remember anyway..........along with Jimmy Mack and Dancing in the Streets.
I'm surprised it wasn't a hit...........it was huge around the circles I moved in !

The BBC Radio Leeds 60s show I mentioned tonight played Ivy League's Funny How Love Can Be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KYSdeshp-c
I often ponder when I hear Zager & Evans with In The Year 2525. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhNM2K8cmU8 I wonder what music will be like in the year 2525!! |

Here are four different versions of the same song, all from 1965. The song is the Ray Davies composition "I Go To Sleep", and the versions are by Cher, Solihull beat combo the Applejacks, German singer Marion and, finally, the original by the Kinks. Cher http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOB4c...eature=related The Applejacks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tWcO...eature=related Marion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKRfY...eature=related The Kinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6gMS7aiMLk&feature=fvw I have to confess that by far my favourite version of this song is by the Pretenders. This is the only instance I can think of where I prefer an Eighties cover of a Sixties song to the original. |

i love that version of Grapevine - James Jamerson at his best
The Funk Brothers members, only now getting their just deserts Ureil Jones, Benny Benson, Earl Van Dyke to mention a few. Also my choice outside of Motown would be Felice Taylor ~ I Feel Love Comin On Another Belter is Laura Greene's Moonlight Music and You |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAgzK40jyUI His version of Phil Och's 'Changes' is fantastic and fits in nicely here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0SGplcdu7k |

Helen Shapiro also recorded a pretty good version of "Walk on By", on an LP in 1964.

Just found a fantastic clip of the great Spector rip off 'All Strung Out' by Nino Tempo & April Stevens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ogtsaXmxK0
Stevens was quite a fox!

Speaking of which and by way of a link - here is utter legend Rick Danko (a big JJ fan) and the rest of The Band with Long Black Veil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMbVXYQpJV8 Thanks for Felice Taylor - love that track. I played Laura Greene at a BBQ the other day and someone pipped up 'It's the KFC music' ...they got a badly burnt sausage!

First of all, the 1962 original (and imo the best) version of the song that Brian Poole and the Tremeloes would take to the top of the UK charts in the following year.
Do You Love Me by the Contours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g-1N...eature=related Next, two rather pleasant songs (one sung in French, the other sung in English) from the rather pleasant Francoise Hardy. Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOd_5...eature=related All Over the World http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R95FPVPz15Q Finally, two Hollies tracks from 1967. The first a minor hit, the second only released as a single outside the UK. King Midas In Reverse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_-XSGcjIhM Dear Eloise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB1G9...eature=related |
