Shangs.

Diana Ross and the Supremes - "Reflections"

Frankie Valli -- "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"

Oops! Sorry. Take Two.

Dusty again ... my favorite of her hits.

More Dusty

The Beatles - "Hard Day's Night"

Timeless Bachrach-David-Warwick classic from the winter of '63-'64.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - "Tijuana Taxi"

Lovely, dreamy-pretty song (despite eccentric spelling) from The Critters.

Vikki Carr - "It Must Be Him"

The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

"I Got You Babe" - Sonny & Cher

r5 Wasn't that Carole King's first hit?

The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game

Four Tops - I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)

One for the FM DJ's.

Time for a bowl, or a dump.

Or both.

Teenta Turnter

Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell, written by Jimmy Webb

Time of the Season - the Zombies

Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masakela

This does [italic]not[/italic] need more cowbell.

Soulful Strut - Young-Holt Unlimited

Chubby Checker's The Twist for instant mood lift.

Spanky & Our Gang

Love - Alone Again Or

and the sequel - Let's Twist Again

Green Onions - Booker T. and the M.G.

That's a young Donald "Duck" Dunn playing bass.

Nick Drake - River Man

More Spanky and Our Gang

The Yardbirds - Heart Full of Soul

"That's When the Tears Start." This was not a big hit and I'd never even heard of it until it resurfaced decades later in "The Marvelous Wonderettes." Pseudo-Motown at its best.

Somehow this song still manages to make me wonderfully sad. There is something about it that fills me with nostalgia, though I've never been within a hundred miles of the Mersey.

And I'll add this one too, because it's a great, if obscure, karaoke number.

Diana Ross and The Supremes - Forever Came Today

I love this clip. It's sort of an obscure Supreme's song but it's wonderful. Love the set and the color scheme with the black gowns. Sooo stylish.

To think this is over 50 years ago... but if you saw a celebrity on the red carpet today dressed and groomed as Diana Ross is here, it would look perfectly up to date.

The Kinks - A Well Respected Man

Ray Davies' looks as though he'll break into a Joker's grin while he's singing.

Oh, dear! Sorry about the apostrophe. Poor editing.

R51 IMHO that's one of the very best songs of the 60s.

Gerry Marsden had a sad quality to his voice that stirs the soul.

One of my favorite Motown songs: Money by Barrett Strong

I loved the Buckinghams. And I love this thread. This is some of my favorite era for great songs.

on multiple levels

Another double

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Nina Simone - Sinnerman

Dave Clark 5 - "Bits & Pieces"

The Vogues - "5 O'Clock World"

Mr Postman

That's a great one, r64.

r57 That was from 1959, but we'll let it slide just this once.

1969

Johnny Rivers - Secret Agent Man

I remember being at a party in the late 80s. The band started playing this, and people were running to the living room to dance with whatever 60s moves they could remember.

California Dreamin'

You Only Live Twice

Never My Love

The Association ' "Windy"

Rhythm of the Rain

So Happy Together - the Turtles

Build Me Up, Buttercup

Tommy James and the Shondells = "Crystal Blue Persusion"

Respect

EYDIE GORMÉ - Culpa de la Bossanova (1963)

I'm not sure which came first - this or the English version.

Hush - Deep Purple

I loved hearing this on the [italic]Bad Times at the El Royale[/italic] soundtrack.

Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes and Brasil ‘66. (The guy with the Pringles canister just about steals the show.)

Small Faces. Steve Marriott was a tiny tornado and forgotten great.

Too many great songs from those days. At least, nowadays, we just get the same seven songs over and over again. Every couple of years, one isn't a rehash of a previous hit.

Etta James - At Last

Kinks... Waterloo Sunset

Peggy March– I Will Follow Him. One of my eternal favorites that epitomizes the sound of '60s pop music. I cannot believe she was 14 when she recorded this.

Best heard with Godard's film as visual.

These Boots Are Made for Walking is so very 60s, r92.

The sixties was such a great decade for music. So many unforgettable songs.

Stevie Wonder, when he was still worth listening to: Uptight

I'm loving all the songs posted here, and am happy to see so many early '60s tunes. The music from the first 3/4 of the decade had such a spunky innocence about it. In the latter quarter of the decade, things got a bit darker and more psychedelic—which is great in its own way, but there is something refreshing about those innocent radio hits of the early '60s.

This deserved more play in its day: "Daily Nightly"

I prefer Peggy's matured voice. She probably had the best set of pipes among her white American contemporaries.

Yes, I remember white lipstick, r103.

Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly & the Family Stone

Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly & the Family Stone

The Essex -- "Easier Said Than Done"

Love is Blue

The Exciters -- "Tell Him"

Our Day Will Come

A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum

Aretha Franklin -- "Think"

Betty Everett -- "The Shoop-Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)"

Enough of this sweetness and light. $26 dollars in my hand....

Lemon Pipers -- "Green Tambourine"

Friend and Lover -- "Reach Out of the Darkness" (even though the chorus only says "Reach Out in the Darkness," that its actual title)

You want spunky innocence? Here ya go: Doo Wah Diddy

To the person posting just links and not telling us who the performer is or the song, FUCK OFF

I guess your preview setting is off.

I had always thought Grace Slick was the first with this one, only learning recently she was covering it. Supposedly, the mysterious "meaning" was seen by some as lesbianism when it hit the charts in the earlg 60s - "SCANDAL!"

"Maybe I Know" by Lesley Gore

I like this one even more than "Be My Baby." I've always wondered what Phil Spector would have gone on to do if there had been no Beatles.

"Walk Away, Renee" - the Left Banke

still the best version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?"

"ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah"

"Both Sides Now" - Judy Collins

"The Circle Game" - Tom Rush. My original version.

Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

Dion - Runaround Sue

The Wanderer - Dion

Ray Charles - Hit the Road Jack

What a great playlist this thread would make!

R69, I had a similar experience at an office Christmas party in the ‘90s. There was a DJ, but nobody was dancing. He put on Mony Mony (the original from ’68), and the floor was packed in seconds.

The ultimate unrequited lover's song.

The Vogues - Turn Around, Look At Me

I thought by now there be a certain ornithological piece...

"It's My Party" - Lesley Gore

"Judy's Turn to Cry" - Lesley Gore

"He's a Rebel" - the Crystals

"Da Doo Ron Ron" - the Crystals

The Rolling Stones - "She's A Rainbow"

"Baby, I Love You" - the Ronettes

"Is This What I Get (for Loving You)?" - the Ronettes

And thanks to r81 for the Velvelettes. And those purple gowns. They really said something.

The Doors - "Touch Me"

"I want him...and I need him..."

"Walking in the Rain" - the Ronettes

"The Best Part of Breaking Up" - the Ronettes

"Heroes and Villains" - the Beach Boys

Bobby Darin - "Beyond The Sea"

(Released in late 1959, it charted in 1960.)

Petula Clark - "Downtown"

Classical Gas - Mason Williams

Tony Joe White - Polk Salad Annie

Back when songs had melodies.

Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukou) - Kyu Sakamoto

The Archies - "Sugar Sugar"

The gold standard of movie theme songs.

These guys did some good stuff.

R152, I’d understand not wanting to read the entire thread, I’d even understand skipping from the original post to the last entry, but missing OP’s bright blatant cover? Really?

Songs to do the jerk with

Cool Jerk

Finally, Going to a Go Go

He'd be pleased R115.

Genius is forever young.

Late 60s fabulosity

Quelque chose europeenne

Yet guess the fuck what, r159. Some of us did not choose to listen to "Downtown" when OP posted the thread, but were happy to listen to it by the time we got around to r152, and are quite grateful to r152 for having posted it. Furthermore, given the greatness of most of these songs, it is entirely possible that more than one person finds a song "the best '60s music."

You "see" queens deserve to have your typing fingers smashed in a piano cover, your uncontribution to music is so great.

Oh, btw, thanks for your contributions of "Music to do the Jerk to" and "Cool Jerk." Which one shall I not listen to first?

Here's for you, jerk.

"And Flo, she don't know..."

Uncontribution?!

^^Humorless, and drowning in a shot glass^^

R169 meant for r166

The Supremes really were ... supreme. Damm.

r171

Well...

In tribute to the Treason thread and a righteous song in itself...

..."Can I Get a Witness" Marvin Gaye 1963...

"Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers

Anyone who was anyone was comin' to the canyon. Or cummin' in the canyon, anyway.

Cass at her most fabulous hosting Joni Mitchell and Mary Travers in "Both Sides Now"

I played "12:30" one time, and you tube, for reasons known only to you tube, added it and four other M&P's songs to an existing playlist it plays on repeat of '60s and '80s songs.

Right now it's "Bette Davis Eyes." After that comes "Our Lips Are Sealed." Then:

"Running up That Hill"

"Walk Away, Renee"

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow?"

practically every hit by the Supremes and then Diana Ross.

But only two songs by my favorite singer, many of whose songs I've listened to on you tube, "Long, Long Time" and "Different Drum."

How does you tube decide what I like? And don't like?

Speaking of Petula going downtown... " I go to the movies, I go downtown, there's always someone telling me I can't hang around... it's been a long time coming, but a change is gonna come...."

This Guy's In Love With You.

Lightning Strikes

Late 60’s. Burton Cummings, one of the greatest rock vocalists.

"No Matter What Shape Your Stomach Is In" -- The T-Bones

(was used for 1960s Alka-Seltzer TV spots, could be an anthem for DL!)

R123, are you unable to read the titles and artists listed in the links, or do you just need that added element of redundancy?

Fuck off R183. There are times when the are gems of songs I have never heard of and will click on a link to hear it. Otherwise I don't need to hear your bad taste in music.

R183, I am not r123, but I know when I read DL on my phone, where I have link previews turned off, I cannot see song titles unless the poster posts the title.

R123, r184 is "I Saw Her Again," by the Mamas and Papas.

It was a great decade for C&W, so here's one of the big ones. Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues

Smokey Robinson - Tears of a Clown

Thank you for the clarification, R186, as opposed to R185's obtuseness and insistence on responding to a question with belligerence obnoxiousness and non sequiturs.

I've added titles and artists since the onslaught.

Devil Woman - Marty Robbins

King of the Road - Roger Miller

R36, Love your selection.

Met one of the band members. Said the line was supposed to be, "In the garden of Eden." However the band was too polluted to sing the lyrics clearly during the recording session. So instead of spending the money to re-record it they chose the closest possible words to write as the official version.

The Joker Went Wild - Brian Hyland

How could you forget Grace Slick and White Rabbit?

Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain

Leavin' On a Jet Plane

"Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge."

"Fancy" - Bobbie Gentry

I might have been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name.

"The Beat Goes On" - Sonny & Cher

Blues Magoos - We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet

Do You Believe in Magic - Lovin’ Spoonful. Magically happy song.

Each year of the 1960s was like it's own decade, with it's own sound and look.

From 1965

Wilson Pickett - In the Midnight Hour, when my love comes tumblin' down

Surfer Girl. Hard to believe it was 1963.

The perfect song to sing to my ex. Johnny Cash - Understand Your Man

Hello, Hello.

A Summer Song

The best.

Then there’s this...Bacharach/David, Dusty Springfield, Herb Alpert on Trumpet, it’s gorgeous. The cinematography, with Ursula Andres, Peter Sellers, the set design and it’s all so stunning....

Platinum selling album in 1962

"I Say a Little Prayer" - Dionne Warwick

"Wedding Bell Blues" - The 5th Dimension

It's almost that time of year ...

Linus and Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio

From A Charlie Brown Christmas, first broadcast on December 9, 1965.

The "In" Crowd - Ramsey Lewis Trio

Recorded live at the Bohemian Caverns, a jazz club in Washington, DC, on October 9, 1965

Cast Your Fate to the Wind

You Were On My Mind

Such a bittersweet song

Set your Strawberry Alarm Clock for some incense and peppermints ...

I like the wistfulness of Come Saturday Morning by the Sandpipers.

The Chocolate Watch Band's cover of "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" is one of my all-time favorite songs, cover or not

Hello, darkness, my old friend...

"One Fine Day" - The Chiffons

Before Diane there was Martha, here with the Vandellas doing their Heat Wave...

and Dancing in the Streets.

Gotta get off, gonna get Have to get off from this ride Gotta get hold, gonna get Need to get hold of my pride When did I get, where did I How was I caught in this game When will I know, where will I How will I think of my name When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe And start wondering why, wondering why Is this a dream, am I here, where are you What's in back of the sky, why do we cry Gotta get off, gonna get Out of this merry-go-round Gotta get off, gonna get Need to get on where I'm bound When did I get, where did I Why am I lost as a lamb When will I know, where will I How will I learn who I am Is this a dream, am I here, where are you Tell me, when will I know, how will I know When will I know why

R226 Worst.... lyrics.... ever.

R53 What's weird about that clip is that Diana Ross seems to be singing live, but she told the producers: "Cindy and Mary are NOT to be given mics."

Yes, R227, the best worst lyrics ever.

It's interesting to see the clothes and the whole vibe in the early 60s, all buttoned down and suit like, and the wild late 60s outfits. It's 2019. Do you dress completely differently from what you wore in 2010?

This one's, oh I don't know, but I love it:

And no Bob Dylan yet? well, here's one.

[quote]What's weird about that clip is that Diana Ross seems to be singing live, but she told the producers: "Cindy and Mary are NOT to be given mics."

I know your post is probably tongue-in-cheek, but just to clarify, this clip is from the Ed Sullivan show where ALL group acts were presented as follows: group singing and back-ups were pre-recorded at the Sullivan facilities ( i.e., NOT a click track nor a studio session recording but an actual recording with a “live feel” with no mixing or padding). Same with band acts (i.e. instruments pre-recorded there). Then in the actual broadcast, the soloist(s) was/were given a live feed mic so they could go to town with their performance.

This was all done to achieve a live but controlled delivery. It was the Ed Sullivan way.

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

Connie, 1960 - Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool

"My Guy" - Mary Wells

"Do You Know the Way to San Jose" - Dionne Warwick

^^ one of many of Bacharach’s Bossanovas

R234 Thank you for explaining that.

Route 66 Theme Song by Nelson Riddle

Never heard that before. It's amazing how many classic r&b/soul singers were gay - or rather it's amazing how that has received so little attention.

Another from the Velvet Underground - I'll be your Mirror.

1969 - Space Oddity

Did the Four Tops ever find a bottom?

Sam and Dave

Although I love "Downtown" as a very unhip 10 yr old I really loved this one better...I have it on my playlist

R167 , great, great song by the Supremes. Trivia question: what other song (already posted in this thread) also mentions Mary and Flo in the lyrics?

R180 is Lou Christie's biggest hit, but my favorite is his last top ten hit from '69 "I'm Gonna Make You Mine".

I wonder if Lesley Gore's "Judy's Turn To Cry" is the only "sequel" in the pop singles charts?

"Cellar full of noise" is a great lyric. I think it was stolen from an article.

R284:

"Back In My Arms Again"

All day long I hear my telephone ring Friends calling giving their advice From the boy I love I should break away 'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day

I lost him once through friends' advice But it's not gonna happen twice 'Cause all advice ever gotten me Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! But now he's back in my arms again Right by my side I got him back in my arms again So satisfied

It's easy for friends to say let him go But I'm the one who needs him so It's his love that makes me strong Without him I can't go on

This time I'll live my life at ease Being happy lovin' whom I please And each time we make romance I'll be thankful for a second chance

Ooh! 'Cause he's back in my arms again Right by my side I got him back in my arms again So satisfied Ooh!

How can Mary tell me what to do When she lost her love so true? And Flo, she don't know 'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo

I listened once to my friends' advice But it's not gonna happen twice 'Cause all advice ever gotten me Was many long and sleepless nights

Ooh! I got him back in my arms again Right by my side I got him back in my arms again So satisfied

Ooh! I'm satisfied, yeah So satisfied I'm satisfied I'm satisfied

Oh ffs nvm

R290, okay that was the one I mentioned originally. What other song posted here also mentions Mary and Flo (not a Supremes song)?

R292, R286 is your answer.

Never heard that song, so maybe there are 3 songs.

The one, the only......Louie Louie by the Kingsmen

Wipeout - The Surfaris

Janis' "Piece of My Heart"

"Hawaii Five-0" theme

Before Whoopi and Lauryn...

No need to ask if Hawkins was...

Ahhh, the swinging 60s.....I want to dance every time I hear this song. Cute singer, too

it also brings a kind of sadness to me, so long ago in a different world

R301 San Jose garage rock. Garage Rock as a genre in the 60s is still underappreciated. The multi-record Nuggets series released by Rhino Records is great treasure trove of music that will always make you feel like a smart aleck 16 year old. Here's another:

More garage rock

More garage rock, on the Mother's in Law at that!

In that same genre, I Wanna Be Your Dog

....

My favorite Mamas and the Papas song - Safe in My Garden.

Geeks do it right,

r284, [italic]an[/italic]other song that mentions Mary and Flo is Run-DMC's "Mary, Mary." They borrowed it from the Monkees, I believe.

[quote]"Mary, Mary" Why ya buggin'? "Mary, Mary" I need a huggin'. Had a fly girl Flo, called her honey. Next thing she spent up all my money.

I don't know if it's the song you're talking about, though.

When I Die by Motherlode — one of the bands that defined the ‘Toronto sound’ of the 1960s

Françoise Hardy - "Comment Te Dire Adieu?"

R350, no , but interesting to know there's another one. The song I'm thinking of is Dion's "The Wanderer": "Well, there's Flo on my left and Mary on my right, and Janie is the girl that I'll be with tonight".

The Association

The Association

This album is amazing. All Jimmy Webb songs sung by Thelma Houston.

Soul Survivors

Lots of mentions (some repeats) of The Association, but I don't think this one has come up -- and it's my favorite of theirs.

"I'm Sorry" - Brenda Lee

Released: 1960

Another Francoise Hardy, "Tous les garcons et les filles".

It's from 1962. You can hear the influence of American pop music of the time.

Watch any 60s/70s movie and see all that would be considered sexual harassment today. Ex: "ALICE DOESNT LIVE HERE ANYMORE"

Someone got the '70s music shut down. Just before that happened, someone posted the Moody Blues' "Tuesday Afternoon." Before I could let the prissy sissy know the song was actually from 1967, the thread had been "subscribers only"ed. So I'll post it here, in the '60s thread where it belongs.

The Kessler Twins - Quando, Quando, Quando (1962)

One of the best and most elaborate Scopitones but the color has become so degraded it's impossible to find a good copy.

That's a great find, R482. Thanks!

Another Italian pop hit from the early '60s. (It charted in the US as well.):

Al di la. Enrico Pericoli

It was used in Rome Adventure (1962) with Troy Donahue and DL fave Suzanne Pleshette - a silly movie with gorgeous clothes and a pretty song.

Somehow Quando, Quando, Quando and Al Di La lead to Summer Place, the top selling single of 1960. I was going to find the top selling single of 1969, expecting it would be some psychedelic anthem for the revolution, and comment on what a turbulent and profound cultural changes happened in that decade... and then I found the top song of 1969 was Sugar, Sugar, by the Archies. So, never mind. The revolution was televised, with commercials.

The ultimate Italian crossover pop hit was "Volare," ("Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu) originally by Domenico Modugno, but covered by many people (most notably and successfully by Dean Martin and Bobby Rydell). However, it was in 1958, so I guess it doesn't count here. (But Bobby Rydell's version hit #4 on the Hot 100 in 1960, so maybe it qualifies.)
