Nice Gif over and over.

"60s music" thread title and a 1970 video?

the song was from the 60s

my youngest son could sing this song word for word when he was about 3.

I would go with Johnny Rivers.

Sent that to my daughter Roger. That's so her.

LOVE 60's music

Great song at the height of their popularity.

I was a teenager when most of that came out. Good music!!

Another of my favorites from back in the day. Timeless!

Great song! Love the videos that show the bands performing.

Absolutely the freakin man...

Beat me to it I see,

Henry the 8th killed me on the Hermits, my sister and her dang record player made me want to hunt them all down and end their noise

Lots of great stuff here! Until someone can teach the dinosaur how to transfer videos to here, I would appreciate it if someone would post "I'll Never Find Anther You" by the Seekers.

Roger, thanks a million! If you could put up "Crying in the Rain" by the Everly Brothers, I would be grateful and would stop requesting. Best, John

Best 60s song

The birth of Metal ...

Betty or Veronica?

...I tell you this...no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..

joken - much appreciated! Thanks!

Thank You very much for the old classic music, the animal song "We got to get out of this place" . Took me back to "Nam" for minute or so. All the floor shows that we saw ended with this song.

....so hi tit.

Can't believe no one has put this one up.

Mingo's (Sam the Sham) brother Onesimo was my dad's doctor and hunting buddy and my surgeon. Mingo tagged along one time and borrowed a gun from dad. He wrote this poem/song as a thank you. I got to tag along sometimes with Dad and Dr. Onesimo. Growing up in Texas back then did not suck.

700LH, that same album[CD], listen to "Showbiz Blues". You may like it.

Damn, listening to all this killer music, I have a couple more. Just too feeble to post these great songs.
Daniel and the Sacred Harp-The Band
When a man loves a woman-Percy Sledge.

VERY early Bee Gees -

The day that they turned us seniors loose from school, I jumped in my car and this was what was on the 8-track.

Without question... the greatest generation for music.

Here's a couple you missed:



...and cut #2

The 60s were not monolithic musically by any means.

Saw Savoy Brown live.. was a good show.


Saw these guys too,

A wonderful time. Happy to have experienced it.

The cars were as unique as the music was at that time.

700,

one of my all time favorites. I think I even posted it up in the "second best guitarist" thread the other day:



Geno

What a hoot,

We camped right down the road from there in '73 or so. Buddy and I picked up empties along the road from the drunks and got enough to buy us a quart or two of beer. We weren't old enough to get into the club at night, but the lady at the store didn't card us when we got the beer.

A few years later we find out it's the place in the movie.

Geno

huskyrunnr,

I've seen a lot of cool stuff on this forum, bitchin' guns, cool cabins, boats, cars, camping spots, dead critters, but that is one of the coolest "historical" items I've seen yet.

I'd take it to the Antiques Roadshow next time it came to a town near me and see what it would appraise for. Not that I'd ever sell it, just for the interest in knowing.

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Geno

Too many cool songs on this, thanks folks.



Some Early Floyd:



Geno

Y'all have been putting up some good ones.







[video:youtube]bonzo dog doo dah band[/video]

and lastly one of my most obscure favorites: Jeff Simmons, a protege of Frank Zappa, from 1969

"Show Biz Blues" Thanks Geno. Damn good song.

Yes it is thanks, I have the LP

Isn't 70 the last number in the "60's" ?

50's for me ...way to many protest songs in the 60's...I can do without them cry babies

tom,

you are most welcome.

700,

I have the vinyl too....................................somewhere in a box of them, no system to play it on right now...............................thankfully there's youtube!

Shaman,

you beat me to it with the Beefheart!

Geno

Lotta folks made their bones with this guy:

I'm trying!

Oh man, I found a good one! Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills...

All goodin's Jag!

Here you go 5sdad:

One of my absolute favorites.... (May be post 70?)

I hope all you under 50 folks know who this magnificent bastard is playing lead guitar. He founded the Amboy Dukes in 1964.

The very best innovative rock was primarily 65 to 75, and that could probably be narrowed down a little. Not that excellent tunes weren't made before and after.

Stereo FM was a strong driving force in LP's being made and played instead of 45RPM singles.

Indeed, thanks again Geno and 700LH. a lot of that early Fleetwwod Mac is mighty good. "Future Games" album ain't half bad.

I'm thinking the drug culture and the VN war had a lot to do with the music created during this era.

A whole generation came together like never before.

Really awesome stuff here. A bunch of gun guys who probably like to drink a bit and hunt; well, maybe not in that order, but. you get my drift. A a bunch of you live in the country I'm thinking. 60's R&R, some Motown, I think, surf music. You guys are amazing!
We all have a bit of our youth floatin' around still. Great stuff guys. Please, continue.
Damn near forgot joken2. Thanks for putting up Sacred harp and when a man loves a woman. Classic's.

Actually the short version is easier to take

She's back! Different song though...but I don't think anyone is really listening.

Ain't much changed eh?

"… Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
Than we ever learned in school..."

I regret not going. I had a car & a drivers license. No excuse. The concert of the century!

Aker Bilk

Released in 1961

The dinosaur is still trying.

5sdad - you did it!

With the help and patience of Prwlr and joken2. I am eternally grateful. Thanks!

Any time.

Out of Mason City, Iowa.

Elis's Coming - Released 1969

Updated just a little....

Well, '58, but I'm posting it anyway.

Egad, I had to scroll through 45 pages all of which loaded youtubes to see if anyone had posted this yet




Great thread!

'Course when this was my favorite song I hadn't even set foot in the 'States yet.

Tom Rush, "Merrimack County" didn't come out 'till '72 else I woulda posted that...

My favorite...….

Surprised this hasn't been posted earlier. (don't know how to inbed)

longest music thread ever,

Lotta cool music there.

What is a Shondell?

Kinda like a Ronette but different

Great song. Nothing else quite like it. These guys were really good.

Hey, another Tom Rush fan."Rockport Sunday" and "Driving Wheel" ain't bad. You'll know how to find 'em. He's got some pretty good stuff.

I love these guys. My favorite group from the sixties.

This defined the 60's for me.

want to kiss and touch prettie stacked dollie

Remember this one?

I like this version better.

KMS, thanks for the Etta.

I looked back a few pages and didn't see any others so why not these:





Geno

And I didn't see this guy in any of the earlier posts, but I might have missed it too. This song is one reason why I live in the country, it made a impression on me in my early years.



He's still making music last I heard.

RIP Mr King (all of you):







Geno

Joken knows where to find some good ones!!!

Haven't seen much jazz on this thread, I think I saw Brubeck, and the 60's were a wonderful time for it too:



(Jeff Beck did a pretty nice cover of this one, but not in the 60's )




Geno

Lots of good music, I’ve seen Neil Diamond several times. Great show every time

An all time favorite of mine. Pretty much anything the Guess Who did is a favorite.
kwg

Wilson Pickett makes any party better!

Couple of local bands...

Boy,...I'd forgotten how bad the 60's music sucked.

Lol...she was the entertainer at my high school gala.

want to kiss and touch prettie stacked dollie

I started high school in 1963. I was 12 years old. This was the heyday of all these dances, the Frug, the Hully Gully, the Watusi, the Monkey, and, of course the Twist. The Twist was a big hit in 1959 when I was just 8 years old but of course I heard Chubby Checker and his hit record on the radio all the time.

Well as a little 12 year old kid I just didn't know what to make of all these dances. I remember my first week in school at Cross Keys High School in Atlanta, the Principal came on the PA and said there would be a Sock Hop on Friday. What the Hell?
I asked my mom what that was, she said it was a dance on the basket ball court where all the kids had to wear socks so as not to damage the wood.

So I got my Mom to take me to the Sock Hop. I was a little kid about 105 pounds, there must have been 800 students there at the sock hop, I was the smallest guy at the dance, and smaller than half of the girls, I was intimidated, all these big kids out there on the floor doing the Goddam Frug or Hully Gully or whatever. I stayed in the back, dark corner and watched. I was fascinated to see the kids dance but I didn't understand it. I didn't understand why somebody would go out there and dance.
I don't know, I wanted to do the Fox Trot or the Virginia Reel or something, I felt like I was 200 years out of time.

By the time I was a senior I was a pretty big guy, a starting football player, and also started on the soccer team. I had plenty of girlfriends, but still never wanted to dance the Hully Gully out there on the floor. I went to probably 15 high school dances and never danced a single dance.

This [bleep] is still incomprehensible to me.

Been fun and brought back a lot of old memories but I'm gonna have to back out of this '60s music thread at least for a while anyway as it's getting to where I don't recall if I've posted the same song earlier or somone else has and this thread is simply too long now to go back and review what has already been posted.

Hey, great songs, Joken.

I dont care if theyve already been posted. So what. Big deal. The greatest songs are worth hearing again and again. They are still nice to hear.

Does it have to be hippie music?

I had forgotten just how much bebop bubblegum AM radio terrible tunes were made back then

Yes and the all-time worst, most maudlin song of the sixties was "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro.


The Smothers Brothers did a send up of this tune, a ten minute show called "Tour of Honey House" which featured the tree "see how big it's grown" and even had a cloud pass over head and "cry on the flowerbed that Honey loved."
Damn that was some hilarious tv comedy. I tried to post it but it cannot be found must be some copyright infringement going on.

At any rate, hats off to Bobby and his hit "Honey." Worst Song of the Sixties.
