    I love love love The Equals! I own three different best of collections with very little overlap but of course this great song is on all three. It must have been their biggest hit.

    This was their followup to
    "I Got Rhythm" and I actually prefer it. Made Top 15 pop.

    The Happenings - "My Mammy"

    That's really good. Never heard that one before, of course I've only heard like 5 of their songs.

    It's not bad. I didn't love it but I wouldn't turn it off if it was on the radio either.

    No idea why this is labeled '69

    There are dozens of versions of this Cat Stevens-penned song, but this is the THE ONE, IMO:

    P. P. Arnold - "The First Cut is the Deepest"

    I love this song! I'm familiar with the version on the first B,S&T album but that's the first time I've heard Nilsson's version. It's Great!

    So, the thread should be titled "Your Favorite Singles from 1967 that are in English"?

    Really really great song. Went immediately and added it to my main Spotify playlist. I'll have to look more into this band.

    On that note:

    Caetano Veloso - "Alegria, Alegria"



    Lyric translation to English:


    Walking against the wind
    without handkerchief, without identity card
    Under the sun of a almost December
    I go...

    The sunlight spreads among crimes
    Spaceships, guerillas
    And beautiful 'Cardinales'
    I'll be...

    upon the faces of presidents
    in long love kisses
    in teeth, legs, flags
    Bombs and Brigitte Bardot

    The sun shining at the news stands
    fills me with joy and laziness
    Who reads so many news in this world?
    I go...

    Among photos and names
    With my eyes, so colorful
    And with my heart, full of vain loves
    I go
    Why not? Why not?

    She thinks about marriage
    And I've not been to the school for so long.
    Without handkerchief, without identity card
    I go ...

    I drink some coke
    She thinks about marriage
    And a song consoles me
    I go...

    Among photos and names
    Without books, without gun
    Without hunger, without telephone
    Into the heart of Brazil

    She doesn't know, I even thought
    about singing on television
    The sun is so beautiful
    I go...

    Without handkerchief, without identity card
    Without anything in my pockets or hands
    I want to keep living, my love
    I go...

    Why not? Why not? Why not?
    Why not? Why not? Why not?

    That's really good. It's almost better than Rod Stewart's but not quite. But I did really enjoy it.

    That's just a terrible song no matter who sings it. Blech.

    Pretty darn good slice of 60s sunshine pop. I dig it.
