Obscure songs from the '60s that you love to share with people

I didn't know that ... I looked for it on YouTube but didn't find it. What I did find by High Society was this, called People Passing By, which is both annoying and quite pretty in turns:

 

Thank you! This is the other song I've been looking for lo these many years. I was in the 7th grade and probably haven't heard it in 50 years. Not so much that I like it but rather that it's one of very few songs I couldn't place and wasn't sure if I was imagining things.

 

Hey, I'm glad to help out, however inadvertently ... !

 

Don't Do It No More - Julie Driscoll .

 

People etc. was recorded by a Manchester (England) band called High Society in 1966

 

Members were:
Peter Cowap-Guitar/Vocals
Friday Brown-Vocals
Christine Ebbrell=Vocals
Keith Lawless-Guitar/Vocals

They released 'People' in 1966, both in the UK &US. Sadly it never charted.

 

Too many pages to look through but I hope someone has mentioned the Brooklyn Bridge. They were huuuge in the NYC area/Long Island in the late '60s, nearly as big as BS&T.
Worst that Could Happen was a top ten hit but I prefer to share their lesser hits with folks. "Your Husband-My Wife" and "Welcome Me Love" in particular.

 

Is there another act with two songs that include Your and My in the title? This may have been a b-side but it got a lot of play around my house. Wonder if it's a coincidence that Free Design's kite song was out around the same time frame?

 

The Merry-Go-Round, "Live".

 

Anybody remember Mitch Ryder's cover of What Now My Love?



I've come to favour Sonny and Cher's version but this one is interesting. I think he has been listening to Richard Harris a bit.

I was going to post in the "inventive and creative covers" thread but it's suddenly flown the coop for some reason so the post goes here instead ...

 

Time Will Make A Change - Bobby Byrd ( 1965 )

 

This song by Irma Thomas, "Wish Someone Would Care", from 1964, made it to #17 in the U.S. charts, so only semi-obscure:

 

How about some early Dolly Parton? From March 1966, it's "Don't Drop Out", sounding very much like an early 60s girl group. Great sound.

 

From Jan. 1967, it's a soulful Richard single that didn't chart, but should have, "Hurry Sundown". That guy sure could sing!

 

From 1969, it's the Dramatics, "Your Love Was Strange". Terrific Motown sound.

 

This terrific Bobby Womack interpretation of "Fly Me to the Moon", from 1969, only made it to #174 in the U.S. Charts (but #34 in the U.S. R&B chart).

 

Here's another great Irma Thomas track -- her interpretation of "Time is on My Side". The song was a hit for the Rolling Stones, but this version is superior, IMHO. It only made it to #52 on the U.S. charts in 1964.

 

It is so different to those before.
Click Horning - Many Times Jimbo

 

Janis had the hit but Erma Franklin came before with a really nice soulful version:

 

Vic Chesnutt, Chinaberry tree

 

Definitely the superior version.

 

The right month to post this track - Tell Me In September - David & Marianne Dalmour
