I Love The 60s! Post favorites and forgotten tracks

This is what our house sounded like when I was a kid.

 

non-album B-side

 

Written by Gordon Lightfoot

 

I can remember listening to this in Saskatoon, behind Hugh Cairns, V.C. where I went for grades 7 & 8, might have been after I graduated but still lived in that neighbourhood.

 

Some '60s jazz:



Lee Morgan - Yes I Can, No You Can't

 

nice little instrumental from my fav C&W outfit of the '60s:

 

Another little known Canadian delight

Bravebelt - Dunrobin's Gone

 

Paul Revere and the Raiders - Let Me

 

Good ol' Bachman-Turner-Bachman-Allan !
Excellent

 

Always loved this one, from 1969 - Ma Belle Amie by the Tee-Set

 

I recently bought Born Free on Blu ray and was reminded how much I love Matt Munro's gorgeous version. Shockingly, it never made the Hot 100 despite the song itself winning an Oscar.

 

The Sparkles ,
'No Friend of Mine' (1967)


The guitar break that hits at 1:00 is the first electric lead I learned to copy note-for-note at a very young age. Thankfully my parents were pleased with the result, if not so much with the volume on my amp !

 

Ray with a couple of the guys in their band uniforms:

 

Top tier garage tune!

 

The 1960s UK no. 1 thread has just had this pop in as a new entry, and IMHO it's the best song of '61 -

John Leyton, Johnny Remember Me:

 

The Tropics,
'As Time's Gone' (1967)

 

Debbie Rollins, Someone:

 

The other great song by the completely unknown Debbie Rollins -

Don't Let It Get You Girl:

 

Idy Lynn, Up In My Mind:

 

Here's a song that bubbled under the charts from the Buckinghams. The mono mix is powerfully strong, but this song never became a hit.
