Here is another cassette mix I put together, Sounds of the Sixties 9. In contrast to the first two I posted, which were later '60s, this one features songs more from the middle of the decade (when I planned the track listings for the '60s set, each tape would cover either 1960-63, 64-66, or 67-69.) Lots of British Invasion stuff!
Side 1:
Good Vibrations - Beach Boys
I'm A Believer - Monkees
Drive My Car - Beatles
Baby, I Need Your Lovin' - Four Tops
It's Not Unusual - Tom Jones
You're No Good - Betty Everett
Sugar Town - Nancy Sinatra
Any Way You Want It - Dave Clark Five
The "In" Crowd - Dobie Gray
Lies - Knickerbockers
The Last Time - Rolling Stones
Sign of the Times - Petula Clark
Help! - Beatles
Coming On Strong - Brenda Lee
I'll Be Doggone - Marvin Gaye
Baby, Don't Go - Sonny & Cher
Side 2:
Love Potion #9 - Searchers
It's Gonna Be Alright - Gerry & the Pacemakers
We Gotta Get Out of This Place - Animals
A Taste of Honey - Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
All Day and All of the Night - Kinks
Baby Love - Supremes
Willow Weep for Me - Chad & Jeremy
Do the Freddie - Freddie & the Dreamers
I'll Be Back - Beatles
Keep Searchin' - Del Shannon
Ooh Baby Baby - Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
4 Eyes - Lovin' Spoonful
Cherry, Cherry - Neil Diamond
Pushin' Too Hard - Seeds
Count Me In - Gary Lewis & the Playboys
The Name Game - Shirley Ellis
But It's Alright - Joe Jackson

Dawn,
An outstanding collection of songs, like Ed, the only one I'm not familiar with is "4 Eyes."

Great, great collection of music Dawn. The Mid-60s was such of jumble of different styles, and this tape expresses that. Like Ken & Ed, I'm not familiar with 4 Eyes, but since I wear glasses, I've been called 4 eyes on occasion.
Another story about a song on your tape from that same weekend in Greenland. We had a couple of rules about playing of music. One was that once a song played for an hour, we would start the pledges over and a new song would play. Well a bunch of guys pooled their money and pledged $500.00 to hear We Gotta Get Out of This Place. So we listened to it for an hour. It took me a few years to finally want to listen to that song. But it was a very appropriate song for the place we were stationed. I guess those guys got there $500.00 worth.

The Ramsey Lewis version is ok, but sounds kind of rushed compared to this one. Ooh Baby Baby is great, one of my absolute favorites from Smokey. I remember Janette M from YL was a big fan of it, too. |

Dawn, An outstanding collection of songs, like Ed, the only one I'm not familiar with is "4 Eyes." Thanks, Ken! I discovered 4 Eyes when I checked out a Lovin' Spoonful greatest hits LP from the library years ago, probably about '92 or '93. It's a fun listen, very wry and tongue-in-cheek, about the trials of wearing glasses as a kid, probably based on John Sebastian's own experiences. The instrumental arrangement is very cool, one of their hardest rocking tracks. |

We Gotta Get Out of This Place is a great song, but I agree, after hearing it for an hour, it would probably be a while before I'd want to hear it again.  |

Lots of good stuff here! I don't know the Spoonful song, but when I was a teen and had to get glasses, I worried that I would get called names also. Well, I didn't (not about the glasses anyway  ). No one called me "Four Eyes" or anything like that, probably because I didn't have to wear them all the time. In fact, I had people tell me I looked good with them and should wear them more often. (I only need them for distance.) I really don't mind them. In fact when I was a tiny kid, I WANTED glasses and I used to wear some old ones with the lenses out of them. Somewhere I think I have a photo of my daddy holding me and I had those glasses on... I sang "Sugar Town" for karaoke once; it turned out pretty well and it was fun. Lately I've been on a Gene Pitney kick, and I've been attempting (notice I said "attempting") to sing "Town Without Pity". I have to have the karaoke dj's put it in a different key for me--but even with that, it's still a hard song to sing! I get to "before this plain granite planet falls apart" (or however that line goes), and it's my voice that falls apart--I can't remember what the )#% notes are! I-yi-yi! But I love singing it, and in karaoke, that's what counts (unless you are entering a contest, and I don't do those). |
