Don't...

In 1964 the British Invasion overwhelmed the USA after The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan in February.  Teenagers were buying anything recorded in Great Britain, which means that some songs that weren't that good became hits.  It also means that because there were so many records, a few really good songs got lost in the shuffle.  Hungry for profit, many record companies caused the downfall of some truly good artists.  Anyway, The Searchers had a top-40 hit with "Don't Throw Your Love Away" that year... the song was #1 in England and it should have done better here, today it's pretty much forgotten.

Best Truck Sign...

This one gets my vote!!

The Good Old Days

Remember when every kid in the neighborhood dressed up in their best cowboy duds and spent a whole Saturday staging shoot-em-ups and saving pretty gals from Black Bart?  It makes me feel really nostalgic to see pictures like this... and very sad to realize kids today don't get to experience this anymore.

The Family of Man

Three Dog Night has a long list of huge hit records, they practically owned the radio in the late 60's and through the 70's.  One of my favorites reached #13 on the hot 100 and featured a different lead singer on each verse... the song was "The Family of Man" and it's sadly a forgotten oldie today.

Season of the Witch

Here's an appropriate song for October... Donovan's "Season of the Witch".  Although never even released as a single, the song was so popular that Donovan performed it at nearly every concert and the song has become his unofficial signature tune.  It's also been covered by dozens of other artists.  A great song, mostly forgotten today.

To my kids who snicker when I send them an email...

Get Me to the World On Time

The Electric Prunes were a highly experimental psychedelic USA rock band that had some solid success in the mid to late 60's. Their second hit, "Get Me to the World On Time" reached the top 30 and seemed to predict great things... but problems with copyrights on a lot of their material seemingly pulled the plug on future success.  Today the song is a forgotten oldie.
