Uno mas: Apache by The Shadows. A song from when benzedrine, beer and tobacco was the high school hipster's holy trinity:

Needles and Pins and Stop your Sobbing are two classics. You guys have some taste.

Love this one by the Seachers, too. Don't Throw Your Love Away

The Harlem Shuffle/Bob & Earl

James Brown. Don't turn this up loud–unless you're at work.

The Seekers "I'll Never Find Another You"

The Small Faces "Itchycoo Park"

The Troggs "Wild Thing"

The Lovin' Spoonful "Six O'Clock"

The Monkees "What Am I Doing Hanging Round"

The Zombies "Time of the Season"

And how many of you actually did the Freddy? Here's Annette and Frankie showing that they can do it:

Freddy and the Dreamers "I'm Telling You Now"

From later in the 60s, but a great song:

Procol Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale"

Psychotic Reaction - Count Five

I´ve always loved this tune.

Pop, but I dig this tune.


These Boots Are Made for Walking- Nancy Sinatra

Nashville Teens - Tobacco Road

Bluse Magoos - We Ain't Got Nothing Yet

Martha and the Vandellas - Nowhere to Run

Of course, the best song from 1963:

Heart Full of Soul, performed live in '65 by the Yardbirds on Shindig!

I listened to KRLA in Los Angeles, 1110 on your radio dial. Back then a typical hour's music might go like this:
Little Anthony & the Imperials
Yardbirds
Frank Sinatra
Beatles
Stones
The Temptations
Otis Redding
Bob Dylan
The Supremes
The Byrds
Napoleon the 14th (They're Coming to Take Me Away)
The Seeds

It was the most incredible, eclectic collection of music on the airwaves; the diversity of music might be unmatched by any other station before or after–and KRKA was an AM station. I started listening in 1963, at age 10.
