I feel like this Kinks song is a bit of an underrated gem from that decade. The album was released in 1968 and the single in 1969, but this live performance is from 1973. If it were up to me, this sort of rendition of the song - i.e. with brass accompaniment and whatnot - would be the English national anthem lol. Love it!
Allan Sherman has been forgotten by most, but I remember enjoying his song parodies (and his original songs) in the 1960's. This was his first successful album, from 1962:
Love The Four Seasons. Many of the songs in this thread take me way back, when I would be in my room reading and listening to WHB in Kansas City on the radio.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Marianne Faithfull co-wrote Sister Morphine. Faithfull put it on the B-side of a Decca single in 1969, and the Stones included it on their 1971 Sticky Fingers album.
Nilsson by way of Fred Neil! Hitting two birds with one stone! Just rewatched "Midnight Cowboy" actually, still holds up!
I just came up on this, which....cracks me up so much. French rock/pop was definitely its own thing......and I've always loved this tune. But I just came upon this video for it, which I'd neverseen......so 60's, so French, so Serge....... it's Serge Gainsbourg with Jane Birkin (his girlfriend at the time). I swear, at one point, it almost looks as if he's going to tickle her, so close.....lol........an extended moment, you think is he? IS HE? Oh my god, he's close to doing it!..She looks like she's thinking the same thing! Anyways, beautiful song, hilarious video.

Also....likeasong! I have to add to your Four Seasons collection....."Dawn"! My theme song! lol!
The Four Seasons: Dawn (Go Away)
I also like their attempt at doing at psychedelia! It's like psychedelic doo-wop!
A couple of very different pieces of music from 1963.
I'm kind of addicted to this song at the moment lol. "Hitch... hitch hike bay-beh... across the floor..." *goosebumps* So frickin' good!
This one might seem like a bit of a weird choice lol. I'm not even a fan of the show... I just think the original theme tune is great! And pretty ground-breaking for the time, I reckon.
ha, that Ball of Chain performance.....she was always better than the band she was with! She gives it her all, and then they all come crashing down all out of tune, lol.
Here, I did something a little different here......just a random skip through the decade year by year.......it really does tell a story!......from "Teen Angel"....to "Tommy"!
