Ahhh, i could talk about the Funk Brothers all day!
Standing in the Shadows of Motown is one of my all time fave music docs - that and The Last Waltz... 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! ![]() I remember the first time I heard it on the Tv and started singing along with it and my missus asked you know that song? I sad I do but don't ask me who it is, three weeks later She tracked it down. My long and distant youth catching up with me |

Four more, all from 1965.
My Little Red Book by Burt Bacharach and his Orchestra (featuring Tony Middleton) My favourite version of this song (by Love) just happens to be the first track I ever posted to this thread. Bacharach apparently hated Love’s Garage Rock treatment of his song, so here’s his own little known version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pruVWiAO9GQ Quand Un Bateau Passe by Francoise Hardy French language version of another Bacharach song “Trains and Boats and Planes”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDEH1jmoOrE Golden Lights by Twinkle Her (at the time) controversial motor bike crash song “Terry” got to No. 4 in the UK charts, so regrettably doesn’t qualify for this thread. This is her somewhat less successful follow-up single. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJbf1dzktqg Lonely Singing Doll by Twinkle Here she is again with an English language version of Luxembourg’s 1965 Eurovision winner (but don’t let that put you off!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-bjy...eature=related |

Two instrumentals from opposite ends of the sixties
Manfred Mann - Why Should We Not East of Eden - Jig-a-jig (I know it was recorded in the late 60s, but may not have been released until 1970) |

Bring It On Home To Me by Sam Cooke
I cannot understand how this classic track was never a hit in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovpIZ...eature=related Heart by Rita Pavone A minor UK hit single for the Italian singer in 1967. I heard somewhere that this is Morrissey’s all time track favourite track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QXjkM7gOVY Easier Said Than Done by the Essex A minor UK hit single in 1963. A track I’m particularly fond of, although as there's nothing that special about it, I cannot honestly say why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxAaN...eature=related Hey Joe by Deep Purple Final track on their 1968 debut album “Shades of Deep Purple”. I definitely prefer Jimi’s version, but this is certainly worth a listen (if you’ve got seven and a half minutes to spare, that is). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xm4os2ugaA |

Has anyone heard of Vic Dana?
This song "Crystal Chandelier" (Liberty 1965 - british pressing) is the only record I have by him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrvZH...eature=related |

I think it's more of a good vibe than a stunning song. I think they did the original of 'A Walking Miracle' as well, which was a hit for Limmie & The Family Cooking in the 70s. |

I'm sure you knew that The Smiths did a version of this song as the B-side to "Ask" (it's also on the "Louder Than Bombs" & "The World Won't Listen" compilations.) This is completely in tune with Morrissey's love of 60's girl groups & singers - The Smiths also covered The Cookies' "I Want A Boy For My Birthday" in their early days, and almost the last track they ever recorded was a version of Cilla Black's "Work Is A Four-Letter Word", which Johnny Marr hated so much he quit the band after the session!
![]() So Little Time (1964) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw95vueZ0iE Quite a cool track. |

New to this thread, but hell, you're all talking my kind of music!
I can't get to youtube at work, but here's a short list to get me started: Mama Cass - Make Your Own Kind Of Music (1969) - should have been a million seller Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth (1967) Never had a hit here in the UK, but a big cult following later, I guess. This was a big hit, but you never hear it and no-one remembers it: Herman's Hermits - My Sentimental Friend (1969 - one of my all time favourite records) |

I've also got in on vinyl - on one of those white label promotion discs with a big red A on the label to denote the intended A side. I used to get loads of my records as those demo discs from a stall in Southall Market back in the 1960s/early 70s.

Lesser known (but nonetheless excellent) songs by two big name bands:-
Legal Matter by the Who http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBMEFxEhu_8 Animal Farm by the Kinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9sY3NKP7is Original versions of two songs that were very big UK hits for other artists:- I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Gladys Knight and the Pips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah1cv...eature=related Bend Me Shape Me by American Breed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK1PpD1z-gs Bend Me Shape Me by the Outsiders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZU_639WNXs That may be the original, but I can’t say that I’m too keen on it. It seems weak compared to my favourite version by American Breed or the hit version by Amen Corner. However, here’s a couple of tracks (one up-tempo, one slow) by the same band that I do like a great deal:- Respectable by the Outsiders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q7Oi...eature=related Girl In Love by the Outsiders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9vtG...eature=related |

Some late '60's Jazz
Keith Mansfield - Morning Broadway (he composed the Grandstand theme. "Space Ho's" by Danger Doom sampled this apparently) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDZA_-3xfhc Peter Thomas - Vergiss Mich, Wenn Du Kannst (featuring the sultry vocals of Austrian pin-up Senta Berger) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfPhRHsRnh8 Pierre Henry - Psyche Rock (Yep, the Futurama theme - he collaborated with Michel Colombier on this one) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZPDrNAFo1U Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Vannier - La Horse (released in '69 despite what it says in the link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYh6mLNlC40 |
