misswonderly3 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 On another note (pun entirely intended), the titles of the songs Scottman posted made me think of a completely different tune, Let's Stick Together. Nobody does this like Bryan Ferry and his boys, so let's go ! Don't forget to turn it way up and dance ! Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The songs I consider the quintessential late-'60s songs (hippieish, druggy, whatever) are the Byrds' "Eight Miles High", the Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today", the Airplane's "White Rabbit" and "Wooden Ships", the Doors' "Break on Through", and Eric Burdon's "Down in Monterey".

phroso Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Good songs all, but I think the quintessential 60s song is "Just Dropped In" by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Link to post Share on other sites
BigFaceSmallRazor Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 > {quote:title=misswonderly wrote:}{quote}BigFaceSmallRazer, ( I gotta say, your screen name makes me kind of nervous :0 ) I'm pretty sure that very performance is shown in a Woody Allen film, I think *Crimes and Misdemeanors*. Hmm...didn't know that misswonderly. Thanks for the info! And that's a great version by Bryan Ferry. Had never heard it. But this is STILL my favorite version of that song--and fits in nicely with the theme of hippy music of the late 60's-- Link to post Share on other sites

misswonderly3 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Charlotte, baby, of course we're not having a fight. Of course we're speaking to each other. I was computer-less for almost a week, had to take the thing in for a "virus-cleaning", turned out it had "malware" ( whatever that is - sounds like the McGuffin in a film noir), and had to stay in the computer fixit shop for longer than I expected. ( It also cost more than I expected, but that's another story...) So I haven't been "in touch" on this or any other site for about a week. And my mailbox here is at 100%, it won't let me send any more messages until I delete some ( and I hate doing that !) This is why I am so publicly responding to you here, as opposed to in a pm. As soon as I've "cleared out" my mailbox I'll be writing you, don't worry, baby ( but I've already posted that, some time ago.)

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 ...and in " Time Has Come Today", the Chambers Brothers contributed the quintessential late-'60s word, "psychedeliicized". Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Right, and I love that clock ticking sound effect ( or maybe it's a real clock), and the rest of the guys shouting "TIME", especially when the ticking slows down. Oh, dammit, I'm going to post it: (It's really long, so I just posted the shorter version.) Link to post Share on other sites

cyberella1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also fond of Our House. They are always one of the first bands I think of when Woodstock is mentioned. Also enjoyed Santana and Hendrix. Must have been an incredible experience. It would have to be if only because they "were half a million strong." Link to post Share on other sites

scottman1932 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks misswonderly, for fixing the link to the We Five version of Get Together. I was out of town for a few days, so I didn't get to thank you for fixing it. I agree, I've always like the Youngbloods version best. I just picked up a 78rpm copy of the Orioles singing "Crying In The Chapel", from 1953, a really beautiful performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nru5sd8Nxuw Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Vocal harmonizing? How about the Beach Boys' "Warmth of the Sun"? Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I love The Beach Boys, but I actually never heard of this song, so I had to look it up ... It's nice, but I can't listen to it the whole way through or I'll be falling asleep at my desk: Link to post Share on other sites
misswonderly3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Warmth of the sun, oh yeah, sounds good to me. It's about -15 degrees Celcius here in southern Ontario...that's roughly ( and I do mean "rough") 5 degrees Farenheit for you Americans. Colder than that, with the "wind chill factor". Great song, whatever the weather. Brian Wilson knew how to write beautiful lush melodies. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ...and Carl, Mike, Brian, and Al could really sing the harmonies. Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 They were among the best, finance, one of my favorites! Long before the Beach Boys, there was Kalama's Quartet, four Hawaiians led by Mike Hanapi. Their harmonies and guitar playing are quite nice. Since their style is of more traditional Hawaiian music and not rock and roll, I call attention to them as another example of good harmony singing and not as a comparison of which group is better: "Maile Lau Li'l Li'l (1928) Edited by: Scottman on Jan 22, 2013 8:53 PM Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The Beach Boys' best harmonies on an up-tempo song (which wouldn't put Eugenia to sleep) may have been on "Don't Worry Baby"or "All Summer Long". Link to post Share on other sites
