Another song that I really liked at the time was Blowin' in the Wind by Peter, Paul & Mary. I didn't know then that it was a Communist anthem.
#1 back in 1927

“Lido Shuffle”
just played it for some memories - thanks
Played it constantly during college, loved it.
I feel that way about "The Girl From Ipanema". I've got a folder on my computer with over forty different versions of it. One of the most interesting versions is by the duo, Ohtamaru & Misaki Yamauchi:
I was born in 1933 so Tumbling Tumble Weeds by the Sons of the Pioneers…

Yes, yes it does. LOL’s
In that same month, I was a ten year old kid playing in the sand dunes around Fort Ord, California with my three brothers, catching lizards and horny toads.
Seems like more than a lifetime ago, now.
windflier, as a black guy, I’ll throw out some tunes that bring me back and that you may remember.....
Rick James - Fool on the Street, You and I
Aurra - Make Up Your Mind
Dynasty - Strokin
Lakeside - Something About That Woman, Your Love is on the One
BarKays - Hit and Run
Al Hudson and One Way - Cutie Pie
SOS Band - Just Be Good to me, High Hopes
Slave - Watching You
Steve Arrington - Way Out
and to the rest of the posters here, Its hard to beat listening to Roth era VH blasting while you are cruising around with your buddies early 80s. Best time in the world then.
I was up in your area in June, 1963, when we took a trip up Rte. 1 through Monterey and Castroville all the way to Eureka.
Big Cities. Good one.
My favorite tune from your list. I've got that on the 'puter, too!

Absolute truth. I just finished listening to some Van Halen from their first album. It doesn't get much better than that. I was living on top of the world in those days.
Now on to Siouxie and The Banshees, "Your City Lies In Dust". Crank it up!
I sometimes daydream that I'll one day buy a piece of land back in the hills of Monterey and spend my last days smelling the sweet breeze and hearing the ocean.
It's where I started this life, so it's special to me.
Those were the songs I've stuck with since the mid 1960's when I began collecting LP's.
BTW Simon & Garfunkles album Bridge over Troubled Waters was their last and the song The only living boy in New York their last song recorded on the album. Their friends {other artist} stopped in & basically yelled into the mic for the chorus. Their names aren't credited by what Simon said there were many. Art was to leave the next day for his roll in a film shot in Mexico. Thus the lyrics Tom get you're plane right on time I know your part will go fine. Fly down to Mexico. Their initial names were Tom & Jerry before taking their real names for the group.
Another popular song from 1966-67 was FARMER JOHN I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.
She's the one with the champagne eyes.
I love the way she looks, the way she walks, and the way she talks,
The way she wiggles when she walks...”
Thanks! It’s a great tune, and one of the first ones I purchased once I got an iTunes account some years ago!
