1. Hard Lovin' Loser - Richard and Mimi Farina
Richard Farina and Bob Dylan had an intense rivalry in the early to mid 60's. Farina was jealous of Dylan's musical success and Dylan was jealous of Farina's novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. The rivalry became so intense that after Dylan was injured in a motorcycle accident Farina went him one better and was killed in a motorcycle accident. Mimi Farina is the younger much prettier, but less talented sister of Joan Baez.
2. Hey Paula - Paul and Paula
Early 60's I love you-uuuu song. Paul and Paula were supposedly brother and sister which makes the song a lot kinkier than you would first think.
3. Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)- Harry Belafonte
The song that supposedly sounded the death knell of rock and roll and ushered in the new musical craze ... Calypso!!!
4. Susan - The Buckinghams
A Chicago based group that had four of five hits in the mid-60's. When I was stationed on Crete I was friends with a guy from Chicago who had been in a band that had opened for the Buckinghams all over the tri state area.
5. Time - The Chambers Brothers
A very long-ggggggggggggggg song that was perfect for what was then called Underground Music circa 1967-69. I'm pretty sure the lead singer had an orgasm around the 10 minute mark, at least it sounded like he did. Circa, hahaha.
6. Skip A Rope - Henson Cargill
Country hit that became a cross over pop hit in 1968 about how our words can poison the minds of our children ... WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!
7. Pink Cadillac - Bruce Springsteen
Pank Cadillac, Pank Cadillac, Pank Cadillac.
8. Wasn't Born To Follow - The Byrds
Twangy guitar and harmony band that covered Dylan songs. They were led by Jim McGuinn who changed his name to Roger McGuinn on the advice of his guru. Why Roger, why not Krishnu, or Rami, or Egbert???
9. Dear Lady Twist - Gary US Bonds
Between the time that Elvis was drafted and the Beatles hit American popular music was very bleak. The blackness was all but wrung out of it and the scence was dominated by the likes of Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, and Fabian. Gary US Bonds was an exception. He was a real Cajun rocker of god only knows what racial mix.
10. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)- Looking Glass
She really was a fine girl, nuff said, because it's time for the hockey game.
