I am also a 60`s music lover. I know each generation thinks that their music was/is the best but I really think we had great songs, singers and groups and some are still going strong.


Love and Peace

Reading this thread I can say I like many of the songs or artistes mentioned and seen quite a few, but long after they had their hits.

Gerry and the pacemakers twice, Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons 3 times, Bobby Vee, Dr Hook, searchers,Hermans Hermits too name but a few.
The one concert I remember going to see at the hight of their fame was The Walker brothers with the support group of The Small Faces but I was only 8 and all I can really remember was a load of hysterical girls screaming.
I must say my fave solo singer was Billy Fury and made a point of having my photo taken next to his statue in the Albert Dock.

How sad. John Walker from the Walker Brothers died.

Some great songs.

I'm nudging this thread up as I have enjoyed reading it and reminiscing

Sorry, that should be Ricky Nelson - I can spell but obviously can't type properly methinks.

I am with Persephone - anything by the late great Gene Pitney. I have cupboards full of his singles and LPs and followed him since Tulsa in the early 60s. He also wrote for others including Bobby Vee (Rubber Ball) and Ricy Nelson (Hello Mary Lou), and I would go and see him whenever he was in the UK, right up until his death in 2006.

I also like anything by Billy Fury but sadly never got the chance to see him live.

What a great thread this is

Hi Joan,
your garden must be doing so well because you sing 60's songs to them - is that right??
did you also listen to the Scots lasses, Lulu and Lena Zavaroni?

We have not long ago bought a new turntable - we have two cupboards one on either side of a dresser and they are full of LPs.... The distinctive sound of Gene Pitney, Simon and Garfunkel, that fantastic Aussie group the Seekers (hey there it's Georgie Girl) and yes there is a Jan and Dean and Sam Cooke, a couple of the Beatles - one with my favourite song "Norwegian Wood" and the other Sergeant Pepper LP..and any other music that has been on " The Cover of the Rolling Stone" have Dr Hook on video.

Great thread Persie

so many people liked my favourites.......Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas,
Gerry & The Pacemakers,etc, but I also really loved "He`s in Town " by The rockin` Berries, & "Just Like Eddy" by Heinz.
& when I was feeling pretty low once (boyfriend troubles!!) Cliff brought out "The Next Time"....I sobbed to that frquently !
Then there was the Beach Boys, & Jan & Dean......
so many memories, not like todays music.

Dear Len

Hello

Hope you are okay.

Great post.

How could it have bombed before?

Here's a few:

"Daydream Believer", the Monkees

Sam Cooke singing "Twistin' the night away" and "Wonderful world". This song was used in the film "Witness" with Harrison Ford.

Almost any song by the Shirelles and the Ronnettes.

From the 1970's:

"Sing me a song" by Marc Bolan.

"Secrets that you keep", sung by Mud

I think I am going back down memory lane, with songs you could actually understood the words too!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
xx
