Hey Joe

This is probably my favorite forgotten oldie of all time.  In 1966 the L.A. band The Leaves were the first to hit the charts with the song "Hey Joe".  The song reached the top 40 despite a barrage of versions recorded and released by other bands and artists.  The song is truly a garage band classic, back in the 60's if you went to a party with a band they did a version of "Hey Joe", everybody did the song.  The three bands I was in back in the 60's all did a version of the song... and yet today, mostly forgotten.
