Here's one that never gets played enough, even though it did finish in theBillboard year end Top 100 for 1968 (barely, at #98):

The American Breed's "Bend me, Shape Me."

One of the few songs that is better in the verses than the chorus, with the short instrumental sections actually the most memorable part.

I'm glad that I was born in the mid-50s and got to be a part of the explosive development of music that happened in the late 50s-70s when I was young.
It was a mix of everything before and brand new music. My daughter is jealous of me having experienced this. And I think it has shaped me in my broad view and experience of music today.
When you were a teenager in Europe in the 60s and interested in music, it was the radio we listened to. And I listened a lot to "Radio Luxemburg" which played new music from the world late at night. I had a small mono earphone in my ear so not disturb my sisters who were sleeping in the same room. Most of the time I fell asleep quickly because it was so late, school was waiting the next day.
I was 13 years old when I heard "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for the first time. It was with a group called The Hounds and that song has stayed with me through the years and still remain in my head with text and only good memories with positive experiences.
I listened to The Ventures and The Shadows a lot and still do today.
Another group like The Kinks with songs Lola, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Come Dancing was also important songs that many forget.

Was only 8, 9, 10 in the 60's, but have an amazing sister who let me into her world. She was a teen and we would listen to lots of music. She had quite the album collection. Plus, we would listen to what was then referred to as "underground" radio. Very clandestine. I was also one of those kids with the transistor radio with the one earplug plugged in late at night in bed listening to music when I should have been sleeping. But the music was just so excellent in the 60's. You had the California sound, Motown, the British Invasion, etc. What was a kid to do?

I know the 60s were great, but for me it started in the late 50s. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and all of the others got going.

I also like doing a little ditty called Freaking at the Freaker's Ball, along with Cover of the Rolling Stone. There is also Kokomo and Cat's in the Cradle that I perform. Some of these are more recent, but you can see that I grew up at a time when one dog and two dogs were simply not enough to get you through the night, when Dylan was the guy, when Jimi was cool, and the Beatles were hot, when Elton was the Rocket Man and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Hair were ruling Broadway.

It's funny. when I'm listening to "Golden Oldies On Demand" (my 15-year-old daughter loves oldies) and a song strikes a "happy chord" in me, I look at the year...inevitably, it's either 1967 or 1968...when I was from 2 to 4.

You are so right. The 60s and 70s did produce some of the best music ever created! As a young teen in the late 60s, I was able to hear this wonderful music, often live in concert for a $3 ticket. One of my favourites was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Iron Butterfly. I got to see them live in concert and my mom bought me the album.

Here in Western Australia, I listen to a community radio station instead of the big commercial stations, and still hear all of these regularly with the exception of 96 tears. As such, I think their playlists mostly from the 50's, 60's and 70's is of music with minimal royalty payments required. Most of their presenters are also retired broadcast people that donate their time to keep busy doing something they know and love.

I was a teenager in the 60s so, of course, I think those were by far the best years for music. There were a few good groups and songs in the 70s, but after that it all went down hill rapidly.

If people are into dancing you'll find that two excellent Animal songs "The House of The Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" were each turned into awesome 15-16 minute long dance songs by the '80's band Santa Esmeralda.

In the case of crimson and clover, there was a certain type of amplifier called a lesley that a lot of bands were using in the '60s that would combine the vocals and guitars the way they were in this song. We had 3 of them and it was amazing what you could do with them. Then the synthesizer came out and you could do even more with them.

@edwardkrzynowek241

2y↑1

Those wonderful Leslie speakers (pardon my spelling issues) with their motorized, rotating sound chambers were very popular with organ players in the early 70's. The choral director at my high school had one. So did a few of my fellow students who played in local bands.
I think they were fairly expensive at the time.

@Yoda8945

1y↑2

The iconic sound at the end of "Crimson & Clover: is not a Leslie, but the tremolo effect that was common in Fender and other amplifiers. In the studio, an Ampeg amplifier with tremolo was used to run the vocals through. Though some Leslie could have been used, the main sound throughout the song is Tremolo and Reverb.

@briseboy

It got Tommy James/Shondells into Woodstock.

All these songs where great. As a teenager growing up in the sixties, it was a magical time for music, hit after hit. The one song that rocked the USA is Jimi Hendrix rendition of the Star -Spangled Banner. It had everyone talking. If you know the hole history of the song and it’s deep meaning then overlay that knowledge to Jimi Hendrix playing it , it’s totally awesome. It took me decades to figure it all out. I listen to even today. Just by dumb luck I purchased a live recording of Jimi Hendrix on cd not knowing where it was made. Turned out it was his performance at Woodstock with that song in his repertoire that day. There was so much great music back then during those years that in my opinion will never be duplicated again by the music industry. P.S. a funny side now that this tradition goes back to my college days to piss off the other apartment tenants in my building that where small town Rednecks me and my roommate came up with the idea that at exactly 6.00pm Sunday night when everyone was having dinner after a weekend of doing stupid stuff we started a tradition of as we named it “ The Jimi Hendrix Cultural Enrichment Hour” we’d open our windows to our apartment and play Jimi Hendrix album “ Are You Experienced “ vary loud , never had any complaints. So this last Sunday as I was listening to Jimi on my stereo in the garage with the door open it was 7pm and I was thinking, dam I missed it by one hour. I’ve decided to bring back to my neighborhood in the summer when the weather is permitting by popular demand ; me “ The Jimi Hendrix Cultural Enrichment Hour again.👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😇😇😇
