Your Favorite Singles From 1965

Dec 1968 actually.... and I had already corrected myself beforehand, but ….um.... thanks anyways.... I guess. lol

 

You're right; I missed that! I skim a lot ...

 

I like this more than The Byrds version. Much more. It rules. The arrangement is totally boss and her vocal phrasing is much more in line with Dylan's original than McGuinn's take.

Cher - "All I Really Want to Do"




...and I love The Byrds...

 

It was pretty good. But I still like The Byrds version better. Their harmonies take the song to another level.

 

Beach Boys - "Help Me, Rhonda"
Sonny & Cher - "I Got You, Babe"
Righteous Brothers - "Unchained Melody"
Supremes - "Stop in the Name of Love"
Byrds - "Mr. Tambourine Man"
Shirley Bassey - "Goldfinger"

 

These girls are so sassy. I love it.

The Goodies - "Sophisticated Boom Boom"




That East Coast accent is a hoot too. "Take two steps forwiid, now shake your hips. Boom, boom"

 

Great choices! All awesome singles!

 

I heard the Byrds version first and I repeated listening to it several times before I finally listened to Cher's version. I only added it to my record collection recently, so it might grow on me a bit more.

 

Leroy Van Dyke - "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"

 

Okay, these are not all singles tracks, and the list is rather longwinding, but considering 1965 is one of my favorite years in music, it was too tough to leave anything off.
Since there's some lesser-known stuff on this list I decided to include you tube links, for the interested (click on the blue-colored titles-most of the famous songs have clips from live/TV performances)
