Nice pick, morrobay.  The 60's had so much musical variety and R & B / Mowtown / Soul had so much to contribute.  Great frickin' stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Used to love this at school. It's got the funky jump around piano, then it freaks out, growing more and more menacing, finally it's all okay as we leap around going tssch  tsssch.

Indeed and let us not forget all that good Latin/Jazz too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some folk music too. Tippaporn, bannork anyone have any theories why about 1965 was so amazing for music ? 

A perfect good storm ?

Post WW2 generation coming of age, tired of austerity, rise of youth culture, both black and white with money to spend  White boys turning to the blues, folk music coming out of the clubs and going electric

As you say, a perfect storm, before rock became an industry.

 . 

Time Was from the 1972 Wishbone Ash Argus LP.  Great all-around LP.
 

 

One more cut off of this LP, Blowin' Free.

 

 

Sorry for the Wishbone Ash overload but I couldn't rightly leave this one off.

Wonderful version, bannork.  I truly enjoyed that one.  Here's their well done cover of another great song.

 

 

Wonderful cover of Classic IV's 1967 hit, Spooky, performed by the Atlanta Rhythm Section in 1979.

 

 

And the original . . .

Nice selection, morrobay.  Here's an album cover that always made me hungry as a young teen.

I always considered the explosion of music in the 50's & 60's as a renaissance.  Why did it happen?  Probably for no different reasons, but having it's own reasons, than the European renaissance of the 14th ~ 17th centuries, or the appearance of so many great figures during the founding of America.  One can speculate but I can only say I feel privileged and fortunate to have been a part of that era.

 

The UK's version of Bob Dylan.  From 1965 . . .

 

 

The era was, in short, explained by these guys . . .

It's not possible to have too much Wishbone Ash

 

LOL.  So right you are, bannork.  Wonderful live version, BTW.  Have not heard it before.  Thanks!  Checking out that CD now.

 

 

 

You would think that you'd eventually run out of great music to play from the 50's, 60's & 70's but no, no, no.

 

 

From the Moody Blues 1967 concept album.

 

 

And a stunningly beautiful number from 1968's In Search Of A Lost Chord..

 

 

Another Classic IV tune that brings back such fond memories.

 

 

One hit wonder Doris Troy's 1963 classic, Just One Look.
