Let’s start a 1960’s Music thread !!

Just that. Music that was released in the 60s, any genre. Thank God they did not have Rap back then. I’m to dumb to post, but a song I like is by the Hollies, “All I need is the air that I breath “. Music videos would be cool too. Alan

But he wasn’t bad
We’d be working a pole out and he’d get to singing that song and I’d join in
We’d laugh like hell , work like hell , and party like hell
He was a good lineman and a hell of a friend

Never quite figured out why Billy Joe ended it.

She tossed her baby off the Tallahatchie bridge. Her and the guy got together at the fair and made the baby. Felt guilty and jumped.

Quote

[Verse 1]
Was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door, "Y'all, remember to wipe your feet!"
And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[Verse 2]
And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow"
And Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

[Verse 3]
And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[Verse 4]
Mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all mornin', and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[Verse 5]
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin' 'round; Papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

This one is from 1972 but that's pretty close to the 1960s.

It's too good not to include it in the thread.

I was a Steppin Wolfe, CCR and a Rolling Stones Fan back in the 60s era.

and I was wondering, if I gave you enough coconuts..."

Here is the WORST song of the sixties. In fact, the worst song of all time.

Revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean

Tach it up, tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down

Declinin' numbers at an even rate
(Oooo movin' out now)
At the count of one we both accelerate
My Stingray is light the slicks are startin' to spin
But the four-thirteen's really diggin' in

Gotta be cool now power shift here we go

Superstock Dodge is windin' out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really startin' to go
To get the traction I'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' that machine's too much

Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
(Oooo pump it up now)
And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood

Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down

*****************

"Hear the dual quads drink." I love that line.

Wow, talk about a trip down memory lane! Thanks to all!

There was a song in 1964 “Girl from Ipanrma” sung by Astrud. A little jazz but a classic. Skip a rope was good. A lot of R&B back then. I can remember in 7th grade “Tears of a Clown”. Thanks to the folks that made this thread happen!! Alan

Not happy & just barely out of the theme as it was released in '70. But ya couldn't live the times without this being a memory.

Thanks for your efforts in finding/posting the tunes (have not yet tried to do that on this site). Lots of recall. There was major evolution of rock/pop stuff through that decade.

Made really good money playing mostly weekends 1960 through 1962 while in college - life sustaining for us - still have a bunch of those tunes in my head, and bass lines in the fingers.

Kept at it through that decade (although not every weekend) and rode the transition through Beatles and all else that went down here, in GB and some in Aus. The horns-added stuff that came later in the 60s was more fun - BST, etc. - liked to play those insts.

The rock/etc. stuff got old and by the mid 70s was not paying very much attention at all - heavier into jazz and classical performing by then. But - great spot in my ears/heart for what this thread is about. Thanks again.

Every time I hear watch this video , my heart sinks cause I just want to go back to some of those days.

Actually, in terms of music, the "sixties" began about 1957 and ran into about 1967. AT that point, the music began to turn into the "seventies". That differentiation can be very easily discerned in the songs posted in this thread.

Good thinking, you don't want to take up too much space and keep members from calling names and cussing one another out over politics .
