Ride Captain Ride
My Baby Loves Lovin’
Are You Ready?

All Right Now
Somebody’s Been Sleeping
Indiana Wants Me
Yellow River
Montego Bay

Two of the original Reggae songs:

Desmond Dekker - The Israelites

Dave & Ansell Collins - Double Barrel

[NEMDF]

If I remember ALL of the songs you listed, does that make me OLD?

You mentioned Yellow River. A great song written and sung by Englishman Jeff Christie who was fascinated by the American Civil War. It’s about a Confederate soldier who’s going back home.

1970 -- 1900 -- Yesterday By Liz Damon and the Orient Express (I heard her every night I was on R&R in Hawaii from Nam in '69.)

1967 or 1968 -- Sunday Will Never Be The Same By Spanky and Our Gang (I heard them a lot at the Purple Onion in SF. They had another one later that sold a lot, but wasn't very good.)
