60s Music

Post by BettyLouSpence »

I figured I might as well make a thread for 60s music :)

Here's a girl group called Honey Ltd, whose sole, self-titled LP was released in 1968. From that album is this cover of Louie Louie:

Good thread! This is the first time I've heard of Honey Ltd. A most distinctive sound!

I've always liked this Dionne Warwick song. It's one of those classic Burt Bacharach sounds from the '60s.

This medley by the band It's A Beautiful Day. These three songs from their eponymous 1969 debut album - Bombay Calling, Bulgaria, and Time Is - all blend together seamlessly.

Some interesting and innovative sounds there...and a classic cover! I like the mesmerizing drum solo toward the end.

This reminds me of some favorite rock instrumental music from the '60's, the Underture from The Who's rock opera Tommy.

She's not there!

What does this song even mean? https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YmO3MtWIwi8&feature=share

I don't know, but you've hit upon one of my favorite Sixties groups there. Their entire album Odessey and Oracle is incredibly good. Sample track:
