WOW! Jim, those bring back some memories! They sounded great on both performances. That said, I enjoyed the second one the best. It was live, no lip sync and they still "had it"! Thanks Jim.
And if you don't mind, a bit more Peter & Gordon:

Go to Pieces was written by the late great Del Shannon who I was fortunate to see live circa 1964. Del was a very high strung person. Sadly, he took his own life. Here Del is singing Go To Pieces:

One of the great overlooked singers was Lou Christie.

Here he is singing the Gypsy Cried and Two Faces Have I:

Also Here is Lou singing a medley of the Skyliners song, Since I Don't Have You, and Conway Twitty's Make Believe with Leslie Gore:

Jim, you must be an old guy like me! I had the pleasure of seeing Lou live in the 90s. He put on a good performance. There is a Del Shannon cruise every summer in Coopersville, MI. where he grew up.

 

Anyone like the Dave Clark 5 from 1966 ?

I found another cool forgotten song from 1966 by the Walker Brothers their version of the Jay and the Americans tune.....

Another Dave Clark 5 forgotten gem from '66. I have to say 1966 seems to be the year for great sounding music.

"Revved up like a Deuce.............." Funny how too many got that confused with feminine hygiene.

 

Fixed it for ya.

 

I saw Dave Clark live and Del Shannon at the same concert circa 1964.

 

Thanks. I was so wrapped up thinking about the feminine hygiene........................ Another runner in the night.


It was all HER fault!

If you like Del Shannon, you may or should know Max Crook. He is still living and had quite the musical career. He is an inventor and musician that knew Del so well going back to those early days in Michigan.
