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

Here's another September song that's not unknown but maybe so in this original version :

 

Peggy Lipton made a great album in the late 60s. This Laura Nyro tune was a single only release but is also really nice:

 

And the flip side was equally as good and it was written by Peggy herself. I used to stare at this 45 cover. A lot.

 

Bill Fay - Camille

 

It Makes Me Laugh - Evie Sands ( 1966 )

 

I bought this single in the mid sixties. It was never a huge hit but Frank Ifield was very popular over here. I've always liked it.

 

Russ Alquist - Ordinary Morning

 

I always thought no doubt could have done a great reggae type cover of this song.

My dad had the 45 single back in the 60s (along with some 4 member group from Liverpool that people might have heard of.....).

 

Tail end of '69 into 1970 - Neon Philharmonic

 

Pete Townshend claims he stole his "windmill" guitar strum stage move from Keith Richards, but I think Keith stole it from this guy.

 

Speaking of the Neon Philharmonic, I call this one the "Ravel's Bolero of Pop", No One is Going to Hurt You:

 

Another September song , from English folk duo Dave Waite & Marianne Segal - September Song

 

Have You Heard The News 'Bout Miss Molly? - The Cake

 

Some more Cake ? Baby That's Me - ( 1967 )

 

Or from Billy Harrison here:

 

Vince Guaraldi's Cast Your Fate To The Wind is a classic that's been recorded by many. This version only reached #61 in 1966 but it's a keeper!

 

From Sweden Bella & Me - Whatever Happened To The 7 Day Week

 

Less well known Goffin & King track - They're Jealous Of Me - Earl Jean

 

Riddle me this: Who performed this classy 1966 track?



Why, it's the Riddler himself, Frank Gorshin!

 

To Me It's Storming - George Jackson & Dan Greer

 

listened to this LP last night, here's one of the songs
