B-side of Rain Dance, 1971. A pleasant trifle, which makes it a fine b-side. Only Guess Who song written by Greg Leskiw. Even more unusual, he's the singer, not Burton Cummings.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born on the Bayou Released in early 1969 as the B-side to "Proud Mary". "Born on the Bayou" is one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's finest hours. I love the over-driven Gibson sound of the intro, the Southern blues feel of the track, and John Fogerty's singing which never sounded better to me. "Wish I was back on the bayou Rollin' with some cajun queen Wishin' I were a fast freight train Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans"

The Byrds - She Don't Care about Time Released in October 1965 as the B-side of "Turn! Turn! Turn!". Written by Gene Clark. The track did not appear on the album "Turn! Turn! Turn!". One of the early Byrds' finest tracks. "Her eyes are dark and deep with love, her hair hangs long and fine She walks with ease and all she sees is never wrong or right And with her arms around me tight, I see her all in my mind And she'll always be there, my love don't care about time She'll always be there, my love don't care about time"
Nina Simone recognised it's quality and recorded an excellent cover. Nina Simone-I Can't See Nobody She must have liked Bee Gees 1st a lot as she also covered To Love Somebody and Please Read Me.
Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come Perhaps the greatest B-side ever. Released in 1964 as the flipside to "Shake". Hard to tell if I would prefer Sam Cooke's original or Otis Redding's 1965 cover. "I go to the movie and I go downtown Somebody keep tellin' me don't hang around It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will"
Probably already mentioned but my all time favorite is Hey Hey What Can I Do Led Zeppelin A side anyone anyone.........Immigrant Song great single combo
Them - I'm Gonna Dress in Black Flipside of "(It Won't Hurt) Half as Much", released on Decca in 1965. From their first album "The Angry Young Them". I like how the organ shines on that track with some far out chord progressions. As nearly always, Van Morrison's performance is exceptional. "Yeah, way out, way out in the hills in Georgia I'll live in my old tin shack I'm gonna think of the time that woman was mine And I'm gonna dress in black"
Such a good song. I mentioned this one in my original post on page 2 of this thread. I just heard it recently since I got the 45 single with this one on the flip.
Marissa Nadler - Dying Breed This track was released as the flipside of the Boston songwriter Marissa Nadler's single "Diamond Heart" in the beginning of 2007. A few weeks later it appeared on her third studio album "Songs III: Bird on the Water". "Red is a color of memory Blue was a way to green And, darling, you did gamble 'Cause you were a dying breed Yes, you were dying breed"
