Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman (from Black & Whit:

early Genius .... backed by a pretty good band.....saw Roy shortly before we lost him...theater in the round...little guy...barely opened his mouth and all that sound/volume just came out.....the 4 core musicians on this set were Elvis's guys James Burton on guitar

Sorry, Joey and his Ramones ripped off this lot,

Heres another classic performance before punk was ever heard of,

Check out the comments,

"No MC5 - No punk. Simples."

Does it really get any better than this, Bob Calvert at his lyrical best, the UKs first punk single?

Anyway dedicated to Tutsi, my American friends introduced me to this.

Great stuff, long before PC was ever invented.

Tutsi, first time I ever saw it in my life, guys driving round with a jam jar with a screw on lid full of white lightening.

Cant beat the South (it will rise again) LOL.

A bit of homespun philosophy.

Why the heck can you Yanks not pronounce Aluminium properly?

I did just that, the pryck from HR thought I was kidding, pryck.

Now now BN, thats not cricket old bean is it, calling in yer boring west coat hippy mates, a bit below the belt, must be something to do with TV demographics

Meanwhile over on the east coast, we had stuff like this happening, CBGBs rules.

The only west coast band worth listening to.

Wow, that was so good, best have some more.

Over on the east coast, love cums in spurts.

BN, always loved the lyrics to this,

you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
`Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society ---
one day you'll wake up in the Present Day ---
a million generations removed from expectations
of being who you really want to be.

So as you push off from the shore,
won't you turn your head once more --- and make your peace with everyone?
For those who choose to stay,
will live just one more day ---
to do the things they should have done.
And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness:
you feel you have to pray.
Looking for a sign
that the Universal Mind (!) has written you into the Passion Play.

What were the lyrics to this, sitting on a park bench looking at the young girls with bad intent LOL

Have to agree with you RGS, even Ramones admit to New York Dolls being a major influence. Killing several birds here,

Urban Guerilla, great song, but can it be classed as a single as it was banned ?

Jethro Tull, what can I say ?

Spirit !

The 5 Americans , that is actor , comedian composer ,original Tonight Show Host Steve Allen introducing them !

The Association on The Smothers Brother Show , no one ever understood the Lyrics , but it was a Big Hit !

It seemed like everybody at that time were influenced by The Young Rascals , but most were One Hit Wonders , as were The Left Banke !

Donovan Season of the Witch:

Anyone remember this? Had a good run for a long time.....

Deke churned out some snappy little numbers

Donovan Season of the Witch:

Anyone remember this? Had a good run for a long time.....

yeah...I remember it...I had just landed in Bolivia in 1965 after being exiled and was checkin' out what was to become my home for the next 2 years...both 'Sunshine superman' and 'Season of the witch' reverberated in me heid as a california surfer boy wanderin' about a town in the Andes...and I wasn't even on acid...

good post, I haven't thought about that in years...

and then later 'Hurdy Gurdy man' was popular when I returned in 1967...
