Mellow Songs of the 60s/70s

An obscure one from The Troggs, kind of reminds me of Orange Skies (that's another one) by Love.

 

I always loved those 2 mellow hits from Gerry and the Pacemakers - "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey"

 

A personal favorite from circa 1967 or so

 

Up in Mabel's Room - Phil Everly

 

Three Dog Night - Sunlight

 

Hunt down "Mr. Acker Bilk In Paris" and the other fine Atco output of Mr. Acker Bilk. I own many of these in near mint condition.

 

But what a great song, all the same (and one of my favorite songs that Supertramp ever released, even though it is clearly Roger alone, for the most part!)

 

Here you go... I think this forgotten (if it was ever known to begin with) is gorgeous, the harmonies are astonishing! I love that "Talk about harbour lights... bah...boh...BOM!"

 

"Sometimes In Winter" - Blood Sweat & Tears

 

"Temma Harbour" - Mary Hopkin

 

Montage From How Sweet It Is - Love Generation

 

Smokey and His Sister - Creators Of Rain. I thought the female singer was Cher when I first heard this many moons ago.

 

Beach Boys - All I Wanna Do. Dreamy.

 

And of course, Linda Ronstadt's 1978 cover of Ooo Baby Baby.

 

Sagittarius, Another Time:

 

1978. None more mellow -

Illusion, Face of Yesterday:

 

I actually bought this album, without knowing anything about it, on the strength of the cover.

 

Did you like it? Did you like Face of Yesterday? Or how about Isadora and Beautiful Country (either of which, and particularly the latter, would also be very much at home in this thread)? Some of the other tracks are pretty good as well!

 

Definitely one of the prettiest songs of the '70s -

John Lodge, Carry Me:

 

This one has a good rhythm too -

The New Seekers, Circles:



Gotta play this long 45 version, the others pale by comparison!

 

Thankfully, yes since money was tight at the time and I would have hated to feel I wasted it. Very nice find indeed.

 

I have this, too but by Mary Travers from the album of the same name, around '73. Alas, nothing on YT.

 

One that just popped into my head



Also,

Jimmy Buffett - Come Monday, a great mellow song.

 

One of several great little minor hits by The Cyrkle

 

Little River Band - Light Of Day
