Subject: Your 60's Song Of The Day

Written By: AmericanGirl on 11/10/18 at 2:26 pm

Let's give a "song of the day" for the 60's decade a chance and see how this goes.  I'll start.

The "Pre-Fab Four", better known as the Monkees, had a terrific string of hits in the mid/late 60s.  This one always had a good feel to it

Actually it wasn't a TV movie, it was a theatrical release in 1976 starring Robby Benson in the titular role and it was pretty bad. Due to no fault of Benson's, who has proven himself a capable actor over the years. The song is so abstract that putting a conventional Hollywood storyline to it just didn't work. Despite the bad script the movie was a reasonable success. Back circa 1976 there was a whole trend of turning country songs into movies.

"Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James & The Shondells (1969)
Personally my favourite from this band.


That song has an interesting background, and it's one you might not immediately think of when you think of this song.

From Wikipedia:

In a 1985 interview in Hitch magazine, James said the title of the song came to him while he was reading the Biblical Book of Revelation:

I took the title from the Book of Revelations in the Bible, reading about the New Jerusalem. The words jumped out at me, and they're not together; they're spread out over three or four verses. But it seemed to go together, it's my favorite of all my songs and one of our most requested.

According to James's manager, James was actually inspired by his readings of the Book of Ezekiel, which (he remembered as) speaking of a blue Shekhinah light that represented the presence of the Almighty God, and of the Book of Isaiah and Book of Revelation, which tell of a future age of brotherhood of mankind, living in peace and harmony.

Many listeners thought "Crystal Blue Persuasion" was a drug song advocating the use of "crystal meth" (methamphetamine), while on the West Coast. At the time of the song's release there were several popular types of high quality blue-colored LSD tablets in circulation—some listeners generally assumed James was referring to "acid". In 1979, noted music writer Dave Marsh described it as "a transparent allegory about James' involvement with amphetamines."

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the 60s or the 70s category. It was released and was a hit in Europe in 1969 but didn't reach these shores in the US until 1971. I decided to go with the original release date. It caused a fair amount of controversy in it's day. Even the Pope got involved.

Waist Deep In The Big Muddy
Pete Seeger
1967

This version from the Smothers Brothers Show in 1968. The Smothers Brothers had invited Seeger on to sing this song but the censors at CBS objected to it and refused to allow it to be aired. The Smothers Brothers continued to fight for Seeger to be allowed to perform it on their show, and eventually the censors relented and Seeger returned and performed it on February 25, 1968.

Nice. I absolutely love Chris Hillman's latest album "Bidin' My Time" which was produced by Tom Petty and released just a few short weeks before Petty died. One of the best albums I've heard in ages and ages. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Hillman is a musician's musician.

Nice one. That song was the last number one hit of the 60s. It was listed as number one in the December 27, 1970 issue of Billboard. It was the final single Diana Ross released with the Supremes, but ironically enough no Supremes are on it except for Ross. Typical Motown move. It's Johnny Bristol doing the male vocal, and other house Motown singers doing the backups. Diana Ross launched her solo career in January, 1970.

Speaking of Ed Ames AND "Windmills of Your Mind", a while back I was watching an old episode of the "Ed Sullivan Show" from the late 60s on the "Decades" network that airs old programming like that.  Ed Ames was on, and in what seemed like an attempt to be "current" or "relevant", he sang a rather unusual song I had never heard called "Changing Changing" which I thought sounded like it was trying to be "Windmills of Your Mind".  It also appears to me to have a number of drug references, not the least of which is "trading gold dust in for mushrooms". Here is is.

If you are bored with the Animals version, I suggest you seek out other versions of this oft-covered traditional song. The Animals are by no means the only version, and not necessarily even the definitive version. Seek out Dave Van Ronk's version, upon which Bob Dylan based his own 1961 version. Joan Baez did it in the early 60s. In 1970 a Detroit band called Frijid Pink had a big hit with it in a psychedelic arrangement that returns the song to its (presumably) original 4/4 timing (as in Van Ronk's version), rather than the Animal's unique 6/8 time signature. Another notable version is Dolly Parton's 1981 version where she gets lyrically quite specific of the song's original theme of a "fallen woman" or woman living a life of prostitution:

"There is a house down in New Orleans
Down in the Vieux Carre
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when I was young
And I've worked since then to pleasure the men
At the house of the rising sun"

The Animals are by no means the only version, and not necessarily even the definitive version. Seek out Dave Van Ronk's version, upon which Bob Dylan based his own 1961 version. Joan Baez did it in the early 60s. In 1970 a Detroit band called Frijid Pink had a big hit with it in a psychedelic arrangement that returns the song to its (presumably) original 4/4 timing (as in Van Ronk's version), rather than the Animal's unique 6/8 time signature. Another notable version is Dolly Parton's 1981 version where she gets lyrically quite specific of the song's original theme of a "fallen woman" or woman living a life of prostitution:

"There is a house down in New Orleans
Down in the Vieux Carre
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when I was young
And I've worked since then to pleasure the men
At the house of the rising sun"


I didn't say I didn't like it; I just said that even after more than half a century of popularity, the song still tends to get more than its share of radio airplay. However, I am just fine with listening to it.

Exactly. He seems to have the tendency of assuming that a song came out in a certain decade without knowing specifically what year it came out.

Interesting. I actually never knew that he recorded any solo stuff at that early date. (But then again, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist in 1994, which meant that he must've been musically active in 1969.)

Close, but not 100% correct. Stewart actually had a record deal as a solo artist in 1969 BEFORE he joined the Faces. But there was some contractual sort of delay, so while he was waiting to make his album (or for the album to be released, maybe) he went ahead and joined the Faces, who had recently morphed from Small Faces, fronted by Steve Marriott who went on to join Humble Pie (its like a big chess game!). So Stewart had a concurrent solo career right from the get go when he joined the Faces. If you listen to those early, GREAT Rod Stewart albums (the first four or so, before the quality took a sharp decline starting in 1975), they might as well BE Faces albums. They are all on there, and Ron Wood (who had also been in the Jeff Beck Group) is especially prominent.

I LOVE that song (The Flesh Failures) and usually brings tears to my eyes. It is just so powerful. The 5th Dimension's version of it just doesn't cut it.

BTW, Diane Keaton was also in the original cast. 


Several years back, we went to a production of Hair at the local college. Excellent production-they even included the nudity. We sat next to a former colleague of Carlos' (who is a former friend-long story). That song came on and of course I just started bawling my eyes out. The guy started laughing at me for crying. At least Carlos didn't. He knows that I cry at movies-and so does he. In fact, there have been times when we will cry together at something we watch.

Because his other song, "25 Miles", was 1969.

Good find, Howard!  This is a long time favorite of mine from 1967.  :)

I actually like lip-synched performances of songs (and post them often), because we get to see the performers "perform" while we're listening to the studio version of the song.  Yes, live is great - but sometimes I really want to hear the studio version of a song...

They weren't' allowed to sing it on the Ed Sullivan show either. Mick Jagger had to famously sing "let's spend some time together".  During the Doors appearance on the Sullivan show Jim Morrison wasn't quite so cagey. Told that he was forbidden to sing the "girl we couldn't get much higher" line from "Light My Fire" and that he had to change it to "girl we couldn't get much better" (which makes no lyrical sense at all), Morrison looked straight into the camera during the live broadcast and sang "HIGHER" as clear as day. The Doors were promptly banned from ever performing on The Ed Sullivan Show again.  Big deal, it didn't hurt their career any.

I know, but at least the onair staff gave the listeners a headsup that it was going to happen (but they didn't know for sure when at first; however, once they did find out the zero hour, they mentioned it over the air and planned for it). And after it did, a Facebook group was created for fans of the station. And there is activity on there every single day, which is good.

But he re-recorded it in 1961 in-stereo for his album The Nat King Cole Story.

From Wiki: Cole recorded the tune anew in a stereo version of the Riddle arrangement, for the album The Nat King Cole Story (1961).


However, I do agree that his solo version of the song should be posted on the earlier thread, since his very original version of the recording was from 1952, as you said. O0

No, it was originally recorded in 1966 by a gospel group the Art Reynolds Singers. Art Reynolds wrote it. Clarence White, who would be in the Byrds by 1969, was at the original session and heard it then. He suggested the Byrds record it.

By the way, did you ever notice the Harrison-composed instrumental BRIDGE to the song which gives BADGE it's name, also shows up in other Beatle -related places, such as the intro to "Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy". It's also in McCartney's "Listen To What the Man Said" and at least a few other songs as well. There's just something very Beatle-ish about that progression, and they tended to use it a lot.

As you point that out, I can see it and concur - but hadn't noticed before.  Cool!

About Badge, as I recall the story goes, George Harrison and Eric Clapton were together working to finish the yet unnamed song for Cream's upcoming album.  Harrison was writing notes on some paper, not exactly neatly, and as Harrison wrote "Bridge" on the paper to make notes about the song's bridge, Eric Clapton misread it (upside down) and asked "what is that - Badge?"  ;D

Bob Dylan
"Lay Lady Lay"
1969
This song was originally intended for the movie "Midnight Cowboy" but Dylan didn't get it to them soon enough (probably on purpose, that's the way he is) so they went with Harry Nilsson's version of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin" instead.

In numerous interviews Grace Slick said she wrote "White Rabbit" as a reaction to what she felt were drug references in "children's books" she read or was read to as a child. It was a very 1960s kind of attitude. "What?? You tell us not to take drugs? What about that stuff you read to us when we were little?". She was pretty perceptive about it. In "Alice In Wonderland" and/or "Through The Looking Glass" there are several such references. Alice drinks what appears to be an intoxicating beverage ("drink me"), eats small cakes with currants (pills) which make her literally "high", etc. A caterpillar is smoking a hookah and speaking in a "languid voice", not to mention he's sitting on a mushroom. Oh, it goes on and on. In "Peter Pan", "fairy dust" (a white powder) gets sprinkled on the kids and they literally start flying around the room. In "Wizard of Oz" they fall asleep in a field of poppies (opium), are woken up by snow (cocaine).

It is pretty clear that the "Alice" books and "Peter Pan" in particular are something more than children's stories. She may have extrapolated the rest of it. But it makes for a very interesting and innovative song.

Not sure I agree with "Peter Pan" but definitely "Alice". I ALWAYS thought that the "Alice" books were written for adults. Whoever decided that they were children's stories is beyond me. My dad always had a copy of both books in his library. When he passed away, I added his books to my library.

What was funny about the song White Rabbit, I always knew it was about drugs but then when I was in my early 20s, I really listened to the lyrics and THEN realized the references to "Alice in Wonderland." Yeah, I was a late bloomer. lol.

Fun!  I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with a musician who played for him on Facebook.  Based on what I discovered, Joe Brown seems quite the character.  :)

After doing a little research (now that I have time), I found out that Rupert Holmes did arrangement on the Cufflinks album (not too sure if he worked on the song Tracy or not) but he did some lead singing on the Cufflinks second album. I KNEW there was a connection there.

I prefer to listen to the album of Hair (which I was listening to it last week-AGAIN). So much better than the Fifth Dimension, The Cowsills (Hair), Oliver (Good Morning, Starshine), & Three Dog Night (Easy To Be Hard). While I love all those performers for some of their things but they just can't do it better than the original cast of the play.

Technically speaking, Steve Winwood's next band after Spencer Davis Group was Traffic, in 1967. Traffic briefly disbanded in 1969 which is when the short-lived Blind Faith happened. By 1970 Traffic had reformed, but without Dave Mason.

O0 Good info!  I always thought Traffic began after the short-lived Blind Faith...


Traffic (being Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason and Chris Wood) made three albums between 1967-1969. Two of them are absolute classics, "Mr. Fantasy" (1967)  and "Traffic" (1968) and one, "Last Exit" (1969) is cobbled together from bits and pieces, B sides, live tracks, etc, but I like it quite a bit as well. It's one of those kinds of oddball albums that used to exist. Traffic fell apart in 1969 and that's when Winwood formed Blind Faith with Clapton. There was something about the "supergroup" hype that doomed Blind Faith from the start, and they quickly disbanded after one album and tour. Winwood began what was planned to be a solo album called "Mad Shadows", but partway through the proceedings he invited Capaldi and Wood to contribute and Traffic was reborn as a trio with the masterpiece "John Barleycorn Must Die" in 1970. They carried on until 1974 with various additional changing members. And what of Dave Mason? At the same time Traffic were doing "John Barleycorn" he moved to Los Angeles and began his first solo album "Alone Together" which is simply one of the most magnificent albums of the rock era. And the first pressing on Blue Thumb Records was done on swirly colored vinyl. No two are alike.

1969

Bert Sommer was one of the lesser known performers at Woodstock. His played on the first day and his performance of this Paul Simon song is said to have elicited the first standing ovation of the festival. The version here is from his album "Inside Bert Sommer". He was also in the original Broadway cast of "Hair".  He once said "I was in two of the biggest events of the 60s, Woodstock and 'Hair' and nobody knows me". He died in 1990.

Yes, there is some darkness in the song, it is not all "rah rah". That was very much the tenor of the times. There was an ambivalence about things. Movies reflected this also. The hero was not always a completely good guy, or was deeply conflicted. Things were not tied up in a neat ribbon. ("Three Days of the Condor", for example).

Indeed the period of 67ish-73ish was the heyday of the "Protest" song - and we liked it  ;)

Since today is the 50th anniversary of the Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin moon landing, I thought I'd select a song that has "moon" in the title. And I can think of a few that came out in the 60's.

My selection is "Blue Moon" by the Marcels, from 1961.

I saw him in concert-TWICE. Not saying that I am a BIG fan and did not seek out to see him, but I was basically in the right place & the right time. Once in the '70s when he was touring with Debby Boone. I had a friend who wanted to go see them but didn't want to go alone. I said, "Why not." I saw him again about 10 years ago or so when he was touring with Billy Joe Royal during their "Raindrops & Boondocks" tour. It was a fund raiser for the local firefighters so we went.

Even though the song was written in the 1950s, it is from the 1961 film West Side Story. I just love this song for it takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven's 'Emperor' Piano Concerto, which forms the start of the melody. and also a longer phrase from the main theme of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.

Yeah it's a good song. Oddly enough, it had actually been sung by another girl-group, The Blossoms (fronted by Darlene Love, who performed the lead vocal), but producer Phil Spector credited it to The Crystals; however, at the time of the recording, the real Crystals were touring the East Coast. Yet Mr. Spector decided to credit the recording to The Crystals, even though that band's lead vocalists couldn't come close to imitating Darlene Love.

I for one still like listening to it. :)

This gem almost single-handedly turned me into a "Motown collector" during the late 1970's...

Smokey Robinson & Miracles - More Love (1967)  :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztGE8PfZ3hA

The "Motown collector" bit is a long story.  I'll preface it with this, though - as a college student I lived in a dorm and my friend across the hall was playing the Miracles' Anthology that she borrowed from the dorm library.  At the time there weren't any "oldies" stations to speak of, so I didn't have opportunity to hear 60's music that often.  I just flipped when I heard the song "More Love" and expressed surprise that it was so familiar yet unfamiliar.  A couple more gems I heard from her turntable convinced me.  After my friend returned the album, I hurried to the library to check it out.  And I played it.  And I renewed my checkout with the library.  And I played it.  And played it.  After about 3 months of this, the library said to me "why don't you just go buy the album"?  :-[  As embarrassed as I was, they were right - and that's where it started...

(Incidentally, in the late 70's hardly anyone was collecting Motown records - I'd often find really cool stuff in the 50 cents bin at the used record store, much to my delight.)

I saw it in a movie theater in 1976. It really isn't very good. Despite starring decent actors such as Robbie Benson and Glynnis O'Connor, the song is just too vague and abstract to base a movie with a linear plot on. The movie tries to fill in the holes the song leaves open with, in my opinion, very unsuccessful results. The very mystery of the song is it's strongest point.

That is true, he wrote LOTS of songs, not just his own (or that he was known for at least performing). And yes, some of the songs he wrote and performed were also later recorded by other performers. (One such example is, "Mr. Tambourine Man", which he wrote and recorded in 1965 for his album Bringing It All Back Home; The Byrds also recorded a version of it that same year and took it to the top of the charts.)

James Taylor

1968

From James Taylor's solo debut and one and only album on the Beatles' Apple Records label. He was 20 at the time. George Harrison, of course, appropriated the title of this for his own famous song "Something".

It was released in 1969.  It wasn't popular, though, until 1970.  That's natural - as an illustration, say a new artist releases a song two or three weeks from now (in December), but it takes several weeks (say February) for the song to get traction and become popular.  Then people would think of it as a 2020 song since that is when it became popular, even though it was first released in 2019.

Similar to "The Brady Bunch". It first premiered in the 1969 Fall season, but got no traction at all until the 70s. Nobody ever thinks of "The Brady Bunch" as a 1960s thing, even though it had it's start the 60s. It is, however, thought of as a definitive 70s phenomenon.

So if something was to be released in 1969, it most likely won't be popular until the 1970's? Why is that?  ???

Well, it depends on the time of year the release happens plus other factors.  In 1969 there was no social media that could turn a newly released song (by an unknown artist in this case) into an overnight smash.  So it was very normal for a song to take weeks to get heard and evaluated by industry pros, find its way onto radio station playlists, (sometimes) get aired on American Bandstand or some similar outlet, get to the place where the public hears it on the air the first time, then the public hears it on the air again, etc. etc.  This process often takes weeks especially for a new artist - who would consider themselves very lucky if their song doesn't peter out somewhere along the way.  Remember there was heavy competition for those precious on-air seconds.  Fortunately for Norman Greenbaum, his song was a winner.

That's right, that kinda thing happens a lot at the end of a calendar decade. In fact, there are several instances of a song being released in one country (or other part of the world) in a year ending in '9', but not getting to the U.S. until early the following year. (One example that readily comes to mind for me is "All Around The World" by Lisa Stansfield, which was a big international hit in most countries in 1989, but not popular in the U.S. until early 1990 (as a hand-me-down, so to speak).)



That's natural - as an illustration, say a new artist releases a song two or three weeks from now (in December), but it takes several weeks (say February) for the song to get traction and become popular.  Then people would think of it as a 2020 song since that is when it became popular, even though it was first released in 2019.

The super rare LONG version! The 1973 double album compilation "Buffalo Springfield" on Atco Records is the ONLY place this can be had. It was never even on CD. This long version does not appear on either the Buffalo Springfield box set or the excellent Stephen Stills box set "Carry On" from a few years back. The standard shorter version appears on both. Apparently Stephen Stills, who wrote the song, doesn't care for this long version so he never pushed for it's inclusion on the box sets. I did see him do this song with Judy Collins a year or so ago, and I've seen him do it with CSN.

Well, you're gonna laugh - or cry.  I intentionally posted the long version since that's what I just digitized, but I wasn't aware that version was rare.  The one I digitized was actually from a combo album (think "K-Tel" but minus the massive quality loss).  It was a 1974 "Warner Special Products" album, volume 2 of "Superstars of the 70's", a collection entitled (oddly enough) "Heavy Metal".  A rather eclectic collection of rock songs, few of which qualify in my book as "metal".  This collection includes the long version of "Bluebird".

This song was written in 1931. Pete has recorded it a few times over the decades with the Weavers. This one was recorded in 1967 and it my favorite version of it.

Which Side Are You On-Pete Seeger.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XEnTxlBuGo

I have mentioned this a few times. I have always felt like Pete was a family friend. Our paths has crossed so many times. My father & brother were working in local theatre and Pete did a fundraising show (for free). I have a copy of the letter thanking him for doing the show (1965). He also appeared in my yearbook because he used to come to my school from time to time. And here is a pic of my step-father with Pete around 1979-1980. I'm sure there are other pics of him floating around in my family.

The thing is about Pete, he ALWAYS acted like you were his friend even if he didn't really know who you were-like the day that Pic was taken. My parents just happened to run into him that day. However, we saw him just a few days before when he was giving a local concert (he did that a lot) so he might have remembered them from that.

I for one have heard this version a few times and realize that the title poses a question here. (In fact, former radio station 100.3 The Sound played it several times, especially on occasions when they played songs alphabetically - in which case they would follow it with Joe Cocker's cover, which was officially titled "Feeling Alright".)

It was the Joe Cocker version that set the template for all others that followed. The funny thing is that ever since the Cocker version even the song's composer Dave Mason plays the Cocker arrangement!

Traffic
"Feelin' Alright?"
1968

Another of Dave Mason's Traffic songs. People seem to know every last version of this song except the original one here. They don't realize it started life as a somewhat down-tempo song. Keep in mind the title has a question mark. It poses a question "are you feeling alright? I'm not feeling to good myself".  Later cover versions became anthemic,  asserting "I'm feeling alright!" and all nuance was lost.


O0 Have heard the original and some covers - love the feel of the original!

^ I'd hear this occasionally on oldies stations (when they were around) - I found it slightly odd, but not in an over-the-top way.  IMO there were plenty of other songs from that time that seemed "a little odd" (despite that I regard '67 as one of the best music years ever).  :)

Often times, the U.S. seems to get certain international songs as hand-me-downs from other parts of the world, such as U.K., and usually in consecutive years. For example, a song that's a hit in UK or Canada in the year n will get to the U.S. in the year n+1 and become a hit; this was especially true in the 1990s and beyond.

This discussion reminds me of a thread that was created in More Than A Decade a while back: http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=58339.0

Wait a minute...I thought Keith DREAMED the riff to "Satisfaction".

"One night, in 1965, Keith Richards was lying face down on his bed in London, England.
He had passed out after a night of partying.
When he woke up in the morning, he noticed that the new cassette tape he had put in the Phillips recorder he always kept beside his bed had run out to the end.
So he rewound it, and listened.
There he heard two minutes of an interesting guitar riff.
He didn't remember writing the chords, but he must have woken up from a dream and recorded it.
He knew that because when he played the tape back, he could hear himself grab his guitar, play the riff a few times, and drop the guitar pick - which was followed by 40 minutes of snoring.
Eventually, he gave the tape to Mick Jagger and asked him to write the words."

It is the first time I have heard this version. I spent the duration of this song trying to work out who the back vocals is, so far not a clue.


The musicians are Clem Cattini on drums, Big Jim Sullivan on guitar and John Paul Jones (yes, from led Zeppelin) on bass. I'm not sure who plays the organ. The background vocals sound to me like it's Donovan singing harmonies plus maybe another person or two. The reason this version exists is because when Epic Records was putting together this greatest hits album they could not get the rights to "Catch the Wind" or "Colours" which were from another label. So he re-did them. Very much more a "1968" style than the original "1965" style. "The 1968 "Catch the Wind" is absolutely GORGEOUS.

He turns 74 today. So does Dave Mason, who is more commonly associated with the 1970s (at least as a soloist), but he started out as a member of the band Traffic, which got started in the late 1960s.


I'm just hitting the jackpot today. I LOVE Dave Mason. Here's his rare 1968 solo single "Little Woman" backed by the band Family. Very unique "olde English" sound.

You're the second person that ever said that to me. A friend I turned on to this version years ago said it. It's not a female, it's Donovan himself. He had a tremendous falsetto in those days. And no credits (unfortunately) appear on the album.

It comes with a 12X12 booklet of photos. It's a great compilation. But HERE'S the confusing part. The original vinyl album contained the longer, slower re-recordings of "Catch the Wind" and "Colours". They are great versions. But when the album was re-issued on CD (at least the later versions of the CD), it replaced the re-recordings with the original 1965 versions. This is a bit counterproductive as those two superb versions are what made the greatest hits album unique in the first place. NOW if you want the re-recordings, once known as the "greatest hits versions" you have to get them on the CD of the "Hurdy Gurdy Man" album which includes them as bonus tracks. Confused yet?  I know it's kind of a moot point now that pretty much everybody streams, but I think the same rule of thumb follows on Spotify and the rest as to where to find the re-recordings. The re-recordings are now often designated as "the 1968 versions".

It was on this day (May 6th 1965), in their Clearwater, Florida hotel room, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards worked out the opening guitar riff of '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' following Richard's purchase of a Gibson fuzz-box earlier that day. The song is considered to be one of the all-time greatest rock songs ever recorded. In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine placed 'Satisfaction' in the second spot on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.


Wait a minute...I thought Keith DREAMED the riff to "Satisfaction".

"One night, in 1965, Keith Richards was lying face down on his bed in London, England.
He had passed out after a night of partying.
When he woke up in the morning, he noticed that the new cassette tape he had put in the Phillips recorder he always kept beside his bed had run out to the end.
So he rewound it, and listened.
There he heard two minutes of an interesting guitar riff.
He didn't remember writing the chords, but he must have woken up from a dream and recorded it.
He knew that because when he played the tape back, he could hear himself grab his guitar, play the riff a few times, and drop the guitar pick - which was followed by 40 minutes of snoring.
Eventually, he gave the tape to Mick Jagger and asked him to write the words."

-https://www.cbc.ca/radio/undertheinfluence/how-keith-richards-wrote-one-of-the-biggest-rock-songs-in-history-in-his-sleep-1.4749094


There are literally hundreds of interviews with Keith with variations on that basic story.
May 12th 1965, The Rolling Stones recorded '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' at RCA Hollywood studios. Keith Richards had come up with the guitar riff in the middle of the night a week earlier. It gave the band their first number 1 single in the US.

What we need to find out is when did The Rolling Stones arrive in the U.S.A. in 1965?

From wiki:

"The Rolling Stones' 1st American tour of 1965 was actually their third American tour, having toured the US twice in 1964. This tour included their first concert dates in Canada. The tour commenced on 23 April and concluded on 29 May 1965. On this tour, the band supported their album The Rolling Stones, Now!."

With the Stones playing Clearwater, Florida on May 6th, it looks the sleeping Keith Richards was at the hotel, not at his home in London, England.

J.P. Rags
"If It's Tuesday This Must be Belgium"
1969

Title song from the classic 1969 comedy movie. The movie is a scream if you haven't seen it. Every mid-century actor in the book is in it. The song was written by Donovan although he never officially released a version of his own. Some people used to think the oddly named "J.P. Rags" was a pseudonym for Donovan (they do sound SLIGHTLY alike) but apparently it's a real person.

I had just moved in with Carlos when I went to Disneyland for the first (and only) time about 20 years or so (has it been THAT long?)-complements of my sister. Carlos was showing me around saying we had to go on this ride and that ride and It's A Small World is one of those rides. Standing in line and hearing that song over and over and over and over again was bad enough. I felt really bad for the workers. I'm sure at night when they are in bed, they hear that song in head. This one little boy was afraid but they kept ensuring him that it wasn't scary. They were telling him that they were like Barbie dolls singing to him. lol.

It was there when I started my magnet collection. I wanted a souvenir, something to say that I was there but not too big. When I saw a magnet, I said, "That's it!" Now, my collection is HUGE!

I was disappointed that we didn't get to ride the teacups-the ride I REALLY wanted to go on but by time we got to them, it was getting late. When we were leaving, I thanked Carlos for taking me because it was on my bucket list since I was a kid. He said to me, "I am so glad that you had a great time and if you ever want to go again...TAKE SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE I HATE AMUSEMENT PARKS!" My jaw dropped. He never let on once that he hated them. I think I loved him more at that moment because he went because he knew that I really wanted to go and he made sure that I had a great time and didn't spend the time saying, "I hate this".

Actually the Young Rascals became the Rascals in 1968. But that's only because they had ORIGINALLY been the Rascals when the band was formed in 1965. But at that time there was some other band named the "Harmonica Rascals" and they didn't like another band being called "The Rascals". So The Rascals became The "Young Rascals" until it was cool to go back to being just The Rascals. Get it?  :D 

Something sort of similar was the case with Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention which started calling themselves just "The Mothers" circa 1970. But Zappa's name for the band from day one had ALWAYS been "The Mothers" but the record company objected to such a name for some reason. So, since they needed a new name and necessity is the mother of invention, they became the Mothers Of Invention until it was cool for Zappa to go back to calling the band The Mothers again. Get it?  :D

And of course its nothing at all like the Small Faces (with Steve Marriott) who morphed into pretty much an entirely different group when they became the Faces (with Rod Stewart). Get it?  :D

The lead vocal was performed solo by Bobby Hatfield, who later recorded other versions of the song credited solely to him. According to his singing partner Bill Medley, they had agreed to do one solo piece each per album. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss.IYj2hex99gY

Oh, my sister recently sent me a scanned signed pic of Pete (that was either in my dad's or my brother's possession) that said, "To the (our last name) children". I did not know that existed. I knew Dad worked with him on a local show once (that Pete did for free).

Sometime in the '80s, I went to see Tommy James & the Shondells at a big outdoor festival with my sister & her family in Tulsa. When they started singing "I Think We're Alone Now," my niece and her friend who were 12 at the time, "They stole this from Tiffany." There was a chorus of us who said to them, "No, Tiffany stole it from them."

I don't say "happy birthday in heaven" myself, because I am not sure there are birthdays in heaven. I mean, when you're in that advanced a realm, or consciousness (or whatever it is) something as mundane as birthdays are probably insignificant. Keep in mind, when you are there you are no longer "born". In fact you are "unborn". But I suppose it's as good a shorthand as any to indicate for our purposes here that someone is deceased.  :)

Yeah, it's more a way for those of us still earth-bound to pay homage to those who've gone before us.  A nod to the "Rock and Roll Heaven" concept, if you will.

(As a Christ follower there's a lot that I firmly believe - and also don't know - about the actual Heaven.  I don't presume to know whether birthdays are celebrated in Heaven or not.)

I'll continue using this terminology, though - hopefully this clears up what I mean by it.

Tim Buckley was always deep. He was the father of Jeff Buckey although don't think they really knew each other. You know how those 60s rock stars had kids strewn all over the place. :o 

Funny how they both died so young. Tim was 28 and Jeff was 30. Tim also appeared on the very last episode of the Monkees (who you just posted) playing "Song For A Siren". There seemed to be no real context for it and I'm not sure what he was doing there as he was a bit, uh, heavier than them. But the 60s had so much mix 'n' match like that. Remember that Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees too.

Although his name was well known, he never really received wide mainstream success in the 60s and early 70s, before his untimely death in 1975. His music was just a little too "out there", I guess. I bought his records, but he was more of a cult figure (though I don't recall we used that phrase back then).  "Morning Glory" was probably the song of his that got the most airplay.

A tidbit - I posted that the song was featured on Rubber Soul.  As was the intention.  However, for vinyl buyers in the U.S.A., the song was actually pulled aside at the time to be included instead in the Capitol Records bastard, Yesterday And Today.  That's how my copy is (albeit I have another copy on my George Harrison Greatest Hits CD).

The Beatles complained about Yesterday And Today because they had in mind which songs to put together on each album.  Truth be known, Capitol actually came up with a great mix for the U.S. only Rubber Soul, and I love that configuration.  Nonetheless, this particular song fits the Rubber Soul esthetic beautifully.

You can't mention "Yesterday and Today" without mentioning the famous "butcher cover".  I knew someone who had one with the other cover still pasted on top. Those ones with the other cover unpeeled are worth a FORTUNE. If you held it up a certain way you could see the butcher cover underneath. I also saw a copy with just the butcher cover itself. it was on display in a store but was not for sale. Those are worth a pretty penny too.

Indeed, the only time I think I've seen a "live" butcher cover album was on display at a Beatlefest (early 80's).  I don't recall if it was for sale or not; if it was I'm sure it had that $$$$$ price tag on it then, too.  Incidentally my "Yesterday and Today" was purchased new in the early 80's so I just have the boring trunk cover.  No complaint about the music, though...

The Beatles were protesting because Yesterday and Today should never have existed.  Capitol in its greed, decided that whereas the U.K. album releases necessarily had 14 songs apiece, it was acceptable to release U.S.A. versions of the albums with 11 or 12 songs apiece.  So Capitol "butchered" the albums.  Regarding Yesterday and Today, Capitol held back several songs from Rubber Soul and Revolver at the time they were being released, threw in a song or two from Help! (whose U.S.A. release had been awful save for its fabulous songs) plus a single or two, and two albums suddenly became three albums.  More profit for Capitol.  More consternation from the Beatles.

That's' what the Beatles were protesting.

(Incidentally, the reason I say Help! had been an awful U.S.A. release is that Capitol decided to take seven songs from the movie and interleave them with soundtrack drivel on the vinyl album, reserving the other songs for different works - we U.S.A. buyers of the Help! LP were most unhappy about the product we dropped on our turntables - of course those seven Beatles songs were fabulous...)

Paul Revere and the Raiders are probably the most underrated band of the 1960's. Perhaps they weren't taken more seriously because of their zany Saturday morning TV show antics and their Revolutionary War stage outfits (which they ditched in the late 60's) but they had some serious chops. And Mark Lindsay was a great rock vocalist.

Happy birthday to the late Serge Gainsbourg. This classic of his once caused such controversy that even the Pope had to get involved, telling people not to buy this "sinful" record. People bought it anyway.

Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin
"Je T'aime,...Moi Non Plus'
1969

By the way, Jane Birkin,  Gainsbourg's long time partner in music and life, is who the famed "Birken Bag" women's handbag is named after. The Hermes company first made it for her in the 60s because, free spirit that she is, she used to carry all her things around in a basket. Apparently these Birken handbags are very expensive and hard to come by.

It was the first banned number one single in the UK[ and the first single in a foreign language to top the charts. It was some while before the BBC got to play it.

I got to know the record well, at a tender young age, by listening to pirate radio, and my elder sister having the single.

I saw him in concert close to 20 years ago with BJ Thomas (called the Raindrops and Boondocks tour). We got the tickets through the state firefighters fund raiser.

That was the second time I saw BJ Thomas-the first was way back in the dark ages when he was touring with Debby Boone. I wasn't really big fans of either but I had a friend who wanted to go and didn't want to go alone. I figured what the hell since I didn't have anything better to do and tickets weren't outrageous like they are today.

Interesting story about this song. Yoko, who had classical training, was playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on the piano. John asked her if she could play those chords backwards. She did, and John based "Because" on that. It's not EXACTLY "Moonlight Sonata" backwards, but it's got element of that. Kind of sounds like "Moonlight Sonata" too.

I previously tried to get to the bottom of exactly where Howard is getting these songs, but didn't get anywhere. It  may be the clue to the frequent errors concerning year.

That site is dubious for me because I've found it to contain some errors. Wikopedia has such a list too, but they can be wrong sometimes; however, it cites other sources to verify people's birthdates to be accurate.

I have various sources to verify the year a song came out too, not just the ones online. I have printed books, such as my Billboard Top 40 book. :)

There's been some talk of this song over in the "what song are you currently listening to" thread. I wanted to post this charming live version from the 2011 Glastonbury Festival. This performance was done on a special stage for the BBC, but Noel also performed live that year on the "Spirit of 71" stage, to celebrate the 40th year of the festival. He passed away in 2014.

I was just now reading up on it on Wikopedia, and found out that it was the original theme for "The Match Game" from 1962 to 1967. (I had not realised that, since I'd never really seen more than one episode of the programme's early version.) (Also, for the rest of the 1960s, a different theme song was used.)

Funny thing about Bob Lind. In the 80s he relocated to Florida and spent a number of years writing for the wacky Weekly World News. Not what you might expect from the guy who wrote and performed the sensitive "Elusive Butterfly".

"In 1988, Lind moved to Florida. He wrote five novels, an award-winning play, and a screenplay, Refuge, which won the Florida Screenwriters' Competition in 1991.
For eight years he was a staff writer at the supermarket tabloids Weekly World News and Sun. He's been credited as co-creator (with photo artist Dick Kulpa) of the famous "Bat Boy" Weekly World News cover story.http://bizarrocentral.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/satan-escapes.gif?w=590&h=547

Yes, and here's what they mean. A lot of people back then thought it as about drugs (especially blue acid) but you picked right up on it.


In a 1985 interview in Hitch magazine, James said the title of the song came to him while he was reading the Biblical Book of Revelation:

"I took the title from the Book of Revelations in the Bible, reading about the New Jerusalem. The words jumped out at me, and they're not together; they're spread out over three or four verses. But it seemed to go together, it's my favorite of all my songs and one of our most requested. "

According to James's manager, James was actually inspired by his readings of the Book of Ezekiel, which (he remembered as) speaking of a blue Shekhinah light that represented the presence of the Almighty God, and of the Book of Isaiah and Book of Revelation, which tell of a future age of brotherhood of mankind, living in peace and harmony.

Yesterday, we had two guys here making sure our new heating system (that they put in in March) is working correctly. We started telling them about Alice's Restaurant. Of course they never heard it (a couple of young pups). We told them they HAVE to because it is classic. We did tell them that it was 18 minutes long. They said that they usually have time to listen to something like that.

BTW, Arlo did a "revisited" 30 years later. He mentioned that he met Chip Carter (Jimmy Carter's son) and was told that Richard Nixon had a copy of Alice's Restaurant in his library. Arlo went on to say how the original Alice's was 18 minutes long and the missing Watergate tapes was 18 minutes. Hmmm.  :D ;D ;D ;D

Because Phil Spector didn't release it back in 1966. After recording the song, Spector decided to shelve it and instead put all his efforts behind "River Deep, Mountain High," which he recorded with Ike and Tina Turner around the same time and which ended up being a flop.

"This Could Be The Night" was used as the opening theme song to the 1966 concert film The Big TNT Show and then completely disappeared until 1976 when it was released on a Phil Spector compilation album. It was then discovered by legendary local LA DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, who used it as the opening theme song for his weekly radio show.

I myself had not heard this song until sometime this summer, when I was driving around and listening to Bingenheimer's weekly Sunday night show on the Little Steven's Underground Garage channel on SiriusXM (Bingenheimer had been unceremoniously let go from KROQ after decades and then moved to satellite radio a few years ago). As someone who has always loved 1960's pop, the song immediately piqued my interest and I used a phone app to identify it and then did some more research on it when I got home.

I feel bad for the Modern Folk Quartet. Had this song been released in 1966 with proper promotional backing and radio airplay, I think it almost certainly would have been a Top 10 hit and very well could have even made it to Number One.

The Critters - Mr. Dieingly Sad (1966)




Although it's more subtle than some, this song has a direct connection to the Vietnam War, as practically everything in the 1960s did.

Read all about it here:

https://www.wisdomoftheoldies.com/2017/10/the-summer-song-inspired-by-war.html

Excerpt:

The writer, Don Ciccone, penned the tune just before shipping out to Vietnam. His girlfriend at the time had an unfailingly sunny disposition while he was frightened and worried about what was to come. He was Mr. Dieingly Sad.

“Just a breeze will muss your hair
But you smile away each little care
And if the rain should make you blue
You say tomorrow is anew
Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair
You realize beyond a care
Life's in a hurry, but
You've got no worry, you're
So mystifyingly glad
I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad.”

Sad” is a hauntingly wistful song that seemed to be about a boy in love who wishes his girl would adore him as much as he adores her. And time is running out! Summer is almost over, fall is on the way and the romance will likely end.

But in a 2010 interview with Goldmine magazine. Don Ciccone said it wasn’t about love gone wrong at all.  “The whole story is I knew that I was going to get pulled into the military. We were at war, and the draft was happening. So that was the reason for the lyric of the song. Everything was great for her, and I said it in a nice way. I was glad that it was great for her. But it wasn’t so great for me, because I could see myself going to war.”

"To Susan On the West Coast Waiting" was technically the 'A' side of Donovan's smash hit "Atlantis". But DJs started turning the record over (back in the days when that could be done by DJs) and paying "Atlantis", which rapidly became a smash. But "To Susan" kept getting played as well, so technically it was a "double sided hit" of the kind that used to exist. The exact same thing happened with Rod Stewart in 1971. "Reason To believe" was the 'A' side, but DJs flipped over the record and began playing a little song called "Maggie May". The rest is history.

Great song. Sort of a combination Halloween/Christmas song. Sting did a version as "Soul Cakes" on his 2009 winter/Christmas album "If On A Winter's Night...", which somehow has become one of my favorite albums, Christmas or otherwise. Although Sting uses a much larger band, he based his entire arrangement on the PP&M version.

Have you listened to Odessey And Oracle in its entirety? It's a wonderful album. Released in 1967, it unfortunately didn't sell well and the Zombies broke up not long after.

Time Of The Season wasn't released until 1969, when it promptly shot up to Number Three. However, the Zombies had disbanded by then, so some unscrupulous American promoters created "fake" Zombies bands to tour the US to capitalize on the single's success.

One of those "fake Zombies" bands included Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, who later teamed up with Billy Gibbons to form ZZ Top.  ;D

Anyway, here's another nice song off of Odessey And Oracle.  ;)

O0 Never heard that - cute song!

The phrase "indian giver" was commonly used as I was growing up in the 60's and everyone knew what it meant.  It seems the phrase was "cancelled" a long time ago (before we used the characterization "cancelled").  I can understand it could be considered offensive.  On the other hand, I don't know if the phrase has been adequately replaced in pop culture.

Correct. "Indian giver", as a phrase for someone who gave you something and then wanted it back has long since fallen out of usage. I am against political correctness or "wokeness" just for the sake of it, but in this case I say good riddance to that phrase. Similarly, a common phrase in my youth was "gypped", a term for being ripped off. That too has been phased out, as it is offensive to Roma (Romani) Gypsies. I think a lot of people used it without even knowing it's origins. Sometimes it shows up in TV shows I watch from the 60s and it now seems jarring.

By the way, I can't think of anything that has moved in to replace "Indian giver", but I can think of it's (sort of) opposite. "Regifter", for when you give a gift to somebody and they give it to somebody else.

The Roger McGuinn guitar solo is a combination of Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane. The Byrds were on tour in a van and had only two tapes in a rigged up tape player (no rock star luxury touring in those days) that they listened to over and over.  Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane. They synthesized (in the old sense of the word) the two sounds together for "Eight Miles High". There was true innovation in those days! To paraphrase Jefferson Airplane, people were doing things that didn't have a name yet!

A couple of years ago I saw Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman backed by Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives doing a 50th anniversary tribute to "Sweetheart of the Rodeo". They did the entire album plus a selection of their other country-rock oriented songs (like "Mr. Spaceman", introduced as "the first outer space country-rock song"). They also did three Tom Petty songs as he had recently died and they were all friends of his. One of the best shows ever!

That must have been awesome! Marty Stuart alone would be more than worth the price of admission, but that had to have been off the charts.

Two questions: Where did you see them play, and did they do any songs by the Flying Burrito Brothers?

They did an entire tour of theaters in 2018 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Sweetheart. The setlist was pretty much the same every night:

Set 1
My Back Pages
A Satisfied Mind
Mr. Spaceman
Time Between
Old John Robertson
I Wasn't Born to Follow
Sing Me Back Home
Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man
Mr. Tambourine Man

Set 2:
Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives:

Angels Rock Me to Sleep
Country Boy Rock & Roll

Sweet Heart of the Rodeo:

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Pretty Boy Floyd
Hickory Wind
Life in Prison
Nothing Was Delivered
One Hundred Years From Now
Blue Canadian Rockies
The Christian Life
You're Still on My Mind
You Don't Miss Your Water
I Am a Pilgrim
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (reprise)

Encore:
So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star
American Girl (Petty song)
Wildflowers (Petty song)
Runnin' Down a Dream (Petty song)
I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better
Eight Miles High
Turn! Turn! Turn! 

No Burritos songs, but once I saw Chris Hillman with Herb  Peterson and John Jorgenson in a much smaller venue and they did "Wheels" and "Sin City" and maybe a few others.

I fell in love with the Beatles about a year and a half later - as a result of the Saturday morning "Beatles" kiddie cartoon, which was one of my favorite cartoons then...

Speaking of Beatles in cartoons, John Lennon told a charming story in the 1980 Playboy interview he did, very shortly before he died. It seems his then five year old son Sean was shown "Yellow Submarine" at a friend's house. Lennon says "Sean came running home saying "daddy, daddy, were you a Beatle?' and I had to explain what a cartoon of me was doing in a movie."

Always liked that one. Notice the bird/jungle sounds that show up at 1:10. And that mysterious other "can you take me back" song that just shows up at the end for no apparent reason.

According to the "Beatles Bible" website, the personnel for "Cry Baby Cry" is thus:

George Harrison: lead guitar
Ringo Starr: drums, tambourine

Correct. It's from the "L.A. Woman" album which came out in April of 1971. It's very loosely based on Billy Cook, a  spree-killer who murdered six people, including a young family, while hitchhiking from Missouri to California in the early 50s.The 1986 movie "The Hitcher", a creepy but compelling movie starring Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell,  also  seems loosely based on the song and the Cook murders.

I recall feeling the same way when the song was new. It seems to sneak up on people. Not to mention it tells a rather creepy tale, though it has great metaphysical overtones.

Was this song about their marriage?
"Wedding Bell Blues" is a song written and recorded by Laura Nyro in 1966. The best known version was a number one hit for the 5th Dimension in 1969. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a woman whose boyfriend has not yet proposed to her, and who wonders, "am I ever gonna see my wedding day?" The song carries dual themes of adoring love and frustrated lament. The title subsequently became a popular phrase in American pop culture.

Merrilee Ruch & The Turnabouts
"Angel of the Morning"
1968

A smash hit in 1968. And still unquestionably the best version. There was a later remake that was a hit by somebody in 1981 or so, but it was so watered down I couldn't listen to it. THIS is the soulful version. THIS is the one and only. By the way, it was written by Chip Taylor who also wrote "Wild Thing", a hit for the Troggs. Chip Taylor is the brother of actor John Voight.

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders also sings a bit of this song in an episode of "Friends" where she makes a cameo as a musician playing in Central Perk, sending Phoebe into fits of jealousy.

Technically speaking, there was no band called the Cufflinks. It was a studio creation, and the lead vocals (in fact, ALL the vocals) were by Ron Dante, the same guy that sang "Sugar Sugar" under the name "The Archies". Funny thing though, the guy lip synching in the video you posted is NOT Ron Dante, even though Dante's voice is coming out. A little further research shows that after the success of the song an ad hoc band was flung together to play live dates and capitalize on the hit. Dante was not involved. The video must be that band. A fake band of a fake band! :D  The same thing was done with "Sugar Sugar". When it was a smash, local bands would be hired in various cities to go onstage and be "The Archies". You can fool some of the people some of the time, as the saying goes. The exact same local band thing was done when "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" was a hit by the equally fake studio band "Steam". Local bands were hired to go onstage and be "Steam". The only stipulation was they had to open AND close with that song. For the rest of the set they could play whatever they wanted.

I saw them in concert back in 1988. It was a big outdoor concert and there were fireworks after. When they started singing "I Think We're Alone Now," my niece & her friend who were 12 years old at the time, both said, "They stole that from Tiffany."

oh well.. they obviously didn't realise the time when each version came out (and the fact that when TJ&S recorded theirs, Tiffany wasn't even born yet). I guess often times when young ones hear a certain version of a song first, they'll assume that was the original. That's understandable, to a degree.

Also, Weird Al eventually parodied said song as "I Think I'm A Clone Now", and I think his parody reflected the Tiffany cover.

This song that everybody knows and loves was technically recorded live on November 10, 1968, at a club called Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It's first official release was as the B side of Neil's 1969 single "The Loner" and then again in 1970 as the B side of "Cinnamon Girl". But we're not through yet. It was released again as the B side of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" in 1771 and AGAIN as the B side of "Heart of Gold" in 1972. I guess you could say it was Neil's "go to" B side. It finally got it's first release on an album in 1977 on Neil's three LP retrospective "Decade". But by then it was already one of his most known and loved songs. What a strange trajectory it took.

The other day, Carlos & I went to the local thrift store. As I walked in, this guy was in there playing the guitar. This was the same guy who serenaded me at my yard sale last year. I told the woman who owns the store that. When the guy finished his song, he also told her that he played at our yard sale. Yup, this guy goes around town playing the guitar and singing for people. His guitar playing is good-his singing, ok. At least it wasn't cringworthy.

He started playing this song and it has been in my head ever since.

... May 17th 1966 - During a UK tour, Bob Dylan appeared at The Free Trade Hall in Manchester. This was the concert where a member of the audience shouted out ‘Judas’ at Dylan unhappy with the singers move from acoustic to rock. Dylan replied with ‘You’re a liar’, the entire concert was eventually officially released in The Bootleg Series by Sony Music in 1999.

If you have the equipment, it's quite worthwhile.  I was pleased to learn my old but high quality cassette deck wasn't broken, but only had a few LEDs out.  I got new RCA cables to plug into it.  I connected my "tape out" via the new cables into my Behringer UCA-222 device, its other USB end plugged into the laptop, and ran Audacity during the transfer (Audacity was also used to pluck mp3 files out of the "blob" it created).  It worked like a charm.  :)  With cassettes, the one thing I had to account for different than vinyl is whether or not to turn on Dolby B noise reduction.

"What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong (1967)
A3yCcXgbKrE

Louis was 66 when he recorded this, making him one of the oldest vocalists to record a hit song. (He was born this day in 1901.) The song wasn't a true hit at the time of its release (because according to Wiki: Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records, disliked the song and refused to promote it). However, the song became a big hit two decades later due to inclusion on the soundtrack of the movie Good Morning Vietnam.

An always fun smash from late '66 -

Donovan - Mellow Yellow (1966)  :)



It was assumed that this song and it's "electrical banana"was about the short-lived practice of smoking dried banana peels to get high (It doesn't work), but it was, in fact, about a marital aid:

According to The Rolling Stone Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, he admitted later the song made reference to a vibrator; an "electrical banana" as mentioned in the lyrics. Donovan stated, "I was reading a newspaper and on the back there was an ad for a yellow dildo called the mellow yellow," he said. "Really, you know the 'electric banana' was right in there and gave it away. And that's what the song's about." This definition was re-affirmed in an interview with NME magazine: "it's about being cool, laid-back, and also the electrical bananas that were appearing on the scene – which were ladies' vibrators."

Here's a picturesque live version from the famed "Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus". Everybody looks more than a little stoned, especially Brian Jones.

Another thing about this song----it's clearly meant as tongue-in-cheek. But in later years it was covered by both Joan Baez and Judy Collins and both did it dead straight---as an anthem for oppressed people presumably---rather than cheeky. I suppose it can work that way too.

The final time that the four members recorded together collectively was the session for Abbey Road's closing track "The End" on 18 August 1969. Lennon privately informed his bandmates that he was leaving the Beatles on 20 September, although it was unclear to the other members whether his departure was permanent. On 10 April 1970, McCartney issued a press release that stated he was no longer working with the group, which sparked a widespread media reaction and worsened the tensions between him and his bandmates. Legal disputes continued long after his announcement, and the dissolution was not formalised until 29 December 1974.

Couldn't the bandmates come to a solution to stay together? I wonder what A Beatles disco would've sounded like?

A few years ago  I saw Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman of the Byrds backed by Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives live doing a "50th Anniversary tribute to the 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' Album" show where they played the album in it's entirety. They opened and closed  the "Sweetheart" portion of the show with "You Ain't Going Nowhere". They also did an additional set comprised of many of the more country-rock oriented Byrds songs, such as "Mr. Spaceman" introduced as "the first outer space country rock song".  There was also a three song tribute to the very Brds-influenced Tom Petty, who was a friend of them all. It was a fantastic show.

Here is a video from the tour. The guitar Marty Stuart is playing belonged to the late Clarence White, the Byrds guitarist on the "Sweetheart" album. You don't get much more authentic than this.

Interesting, I never heard of this song or the "Midnight Mary" urban legend. I have heard of the "Resurrection Mary" urban legend, which is one of the many variations of the famed "vanishing hitchhiker" urban legend, in which a man picks up a somewhat confused woman he later finds out to be a ghost.

Okay, this one could technically go either in the 1960s or 1970s song thread, since it was originally released in 1969 and reached a meager peak position, but re-released three years later and achieved a better chart position. I'm talking about "Feelin' Alright" as performed by Joe Cocker. I'm going to post it here, due to its original release date.

What? A song you never heard of? I didn't think that was possible.  ;) :D ;D

Actually, I found two versions of the song-one by Joey Powers and one by Jerry Cole.

Here is the Jerry Cole version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JeFahU5kXA


The reason why I posted the Powers one first because I THOUGHT that was the original. Come to find out it was the Cole version-and I like it better actually. Both came out in 1963.

As for the urban legend, I don't think anyone outside of the New Haven area has really heard of it. I know about it because I used to live in Waste West Haven way back in the dark ages. Also, the legend you mentioned sounds like a Twilight Zone ep because it sounds VERY familiar.

The "vanishing hitchhiker" legend has been used everywhere. Even the sitcom "Growing Pains" based an entire Halloween episode around it. It's often something like a guy picking up a confused young woman on a dark night. The woman ultimately gets out of the car or hastily departs having left some item in the vehicle, or having borrowed a garment like a sweater for protection against the cold. (The vanishing hitchhiker may also leave some form of information that encourages the motorist to make subsequent contact). The borrowed garment = is often found draped over a gravestone in a local cemetery.

In versions where something like a wallet is left behind, the unsuspecting motorist makes contact with the family of a deceased person using the information the hitchhiker left behind and finds that the family's description of the deceased matches the passenger the motorist picked up and also finds that they were killed in some unexpected way (usually a car accident) and that the driver's encounter with the vanishing hitchhiker occurred on the anniversary of their death.

Sound familiar? This legend is deeply entrenched in the culture.

Love this song.

Had an argument one time with someone who said this was a autumn song because of the reference to the brown leaves. I reminded them that WINTER is in the title. And the reference to the Salvation Army band-usually are out and about in December. They still thought it was an autumn song.

Love that song, too. I love to whistle along with the flute and if I say so myself, I don't do too bad.


It always reminds me of the first semester of college right after high school. I was part of a show that we traveled around to local high schools to preform. At one high school, we finished up just as the final bell rang. We were packing up when this group of kids took to the stage for their rehearsal. Four of them sang this song. We all stopped loading our gear to listen. They totally blew us away-they were THAT GOOD! And THAT wasn't even their performance-just a rehearsal. I have no idea who those 4 high school students were but they made an impression on me. I can't hear this song without thinking of them.

In most cases, a longer song from an album in those days might be edited down for a single. To make it shorter and suitable for AM airplay. In the case of "Crimson & Clover" they actually added on additonal parts to the single version to make a longer, more psychedelic album version.

Whenever I hear this song, I think of my dad. Sometime in the middle of our reception, I danced with my dad to this. It wasn't the father/daughter dance that we had at the beginning but just one of the songs that dj played and I can't remember who asked who to dance. I watch the video of it and think of him.

Funny how that happens. It is likely you were in that apartment and the song came on the radio even though you have long forgotten on the surface of your mind. It was maybe even on the radio of a car going by in the street that you heard. Technically we remember every single thing that ever happened to us in our lives. Songs have a way of bringing it back to the surface. So do smells, which are probably the strongest prompter of recall.

Heh.  Whenever I hear that song I immediately think of my old college dorm.  And even though the song's lyrics are clearly set in winter ("A winter's day, in a deep and dark December"), it always makes me think of bright warm sunny Spring Term afternoons.

Whenever the weather got warm enough to keep the windows open, kids would set up their stereo speakers on the window sills and blast their favorite tunes at full volume, for the benefit of the whole campus.

These "stereo wars" would go on all afternoon.  It was fascinating to listen to all the different types of music being played.  I actually learned a lot from my fellow students.  There was a bit of a Darwinian natural selection process going on.  This was all theoretically against the rules, but if you were playing good music, the rules were never enforced against you.  Simon & Garfunkel was one of those artists whose musical genes would survive the weed out process.

One particularly beautiful spring afternoon this song was playing.  I looked out my window towards the dorm where this was coming from.  There was not a cloud in the crystal clear deep blue sky.  I saw some barefoot longhaired guys in colorful tie-dye T-shirts, cut-off jeans playing frisbee.  People with their shirts off sunning themselves on the quad.  The contrast with the lyrics could not have been more stark.

Going off on a tangent here:

When Carlos was in grad school at Rutgers, he lived in married student housing (he was married to his first wife-not me). It was the end of the semester and some students were having a party and was going something like 2 in the morning. It was keeping his daughter, who was just a baby up which meant that it kept them up, too. The next morning about 7:30, Carlos aimed his speakers out the window and BLASTED the 1812 Overture. Yup-payback's a b!tch!

Then in 1970, Creedence Clearwater Revival covered it, with their rendition sounding similar to Marvin’s, in terms of the melody. But theirs is 11 minutes long!

Let's put this to rest once and for all. The Beatles stopped themselves when they were good and ready. No police stopped them, though police were on the scene. All filmed evidence confirms this.

And in the case of the Airplane/Godard the idea was to just do it and see what unfolded. In other words, to stir up trouble. Cinema Verite. Though I'm sure the Schuyler Hotel must have had at least a vague idea of what was going on. What with people lugging musical equipment onto the roof and all. But there was certainly no permit with the City of New York or anything.

Sixty years ago today (February 28th) in 1963 - Paul McCartney and John Lennon composed "From Me To You".

Dc1-W4KsHvE

"From Me to You" failed to make an impact in the United States at the time of its initial release. Instead, a 1963 cover version released by Del Shannon resulted in the song becoming the first Lennon–McCartney tune to enter the US pop charts. The Beatles' original was rereleased in the US in January 1964 as the b-side to "Please Please Me", and reached number 41.

"A Hundred Pounds of Clay" is a song written by Kay Rogers, Luther Dixon, and Bob Elgin, and was covered by Craig Douglas's, this went to #9 on the UK Singles Chart in 1961.

ayILgcEfldI

In the early 1960s, the BBC banned the song and wouldn't allow British radio stations to play it. The controversy arose not from the fact that it was a religious song, but because the censors interpreted the song as suggesting women were created simply to be sexual beings, and the BBC felt something that was considered blasphemous.

It was a bit hard to figure where to put this song. It was originally released in 1969, but wasn't a big hit in Britain until 1974. In the US it was a big FM song, getting lots of airplay throughout the 70s. It seems to span the decades. A person could walk into almost any local coffeehouse anywhere and hear a local folkinger playing this song. Probably still can now.

I have always consider this as one of my favourite songs, and like you confused with the year of the song, but I do know it was at first meant to be "Streets of Paris" and he changed it to London. On a good day I should know all the words to the song.

Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, tells this story regarding Raplh McTell, one of his closest friends. When Ralph McTell, who got lost while driving Connolly from Putney to Knightsbridge (in London), "Didn't you write "Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London"?"

Always been a favorite of mine. I love Donovan. I saw him do it live many times over the years.

Many years ago I read the classic book "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" by Ignatius Donnelly, originally released in 1882. I still have it. It has been written off by many as myth-making and as " pseudoarchaeological" (what a word!), but it has a lot of interesting information, especially about Plato's dialogs on Atlantis.

I must say, I don't recall this song at all. I checked Wikipedia and it made it to #86 on the Billboard chart in 1968, which would explain it. Top 40 stations in the US seldom played songs with such a low charting, although sometimes things slipped through that they would play.

I must say, I don't recall this song at all. I checked Wikipedia and it made it to #86 on the Billboard chart in 1968, which would explain it. Top 40 stations in the US seldom played songs with such a low charting, although sometimes things slipped through that they would play.


There are so many songs I remember hearing on the radio that were played like they were #1, and then you look it up, and they barely charted.  It probably depends on the radio station whether or not they choose to play the non Top 40 hits, maybe in the hopes that if they do, they can help these songs enter the Top 40.  Sadly, it doesn't always end up happening and good songs end up getting missed :(

Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely? (1969)

Another British singer who fell short of major stardom in North America.  A #1 single in the UK, it peaked at #44 in Canada and #70 in the US.  Such a great song though.  It deserved better recognition

This is the song I was thinking of, when thinking of songs that were huge elsewhere but not in the USA. This song did not get a SHRED of airplay in the United States. Not one iota. I don't think I ever even heard it until the 90s or beyond, and even then it was on a somewhat esoteric radio show that played rare songs. Yet in other parts of the world this song was so huge as to be life-changing for some people.

Maybe all the references were just "too European" for US listeners?

Regarding "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)", I can remember a live version of it on television, probably Top of the Pops, where Peter Sarstedt sang an extra few words in the song.

"With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs, and on your nose"

Many people think that Peter Sarstedt is a one hit wonder, but he had a follow up hit in 1969 with "Frozen Orange Juice" that reached #10 in the UK Charts.

Barry Allen - Easy Come, Easy Go (1965)

Despite this guy's name, he cannot run super fast (at least not that I ever heard of) lol
Catchy song though!

Jackie Trent - Where Are You Now (My Love) (1965)

I always thought this one was part of the British Invasion, but I just researched and learned that it never charted at all in the US.  It did peak at #1 in the UK and at #3 in Canada

Really nice Buffalo Springfield song by Stephen Stills. Inspired by actress Nancy Priddy, whom Stills was dating at the time. Priddy is the mother of actress Christina Applegate.
