Untie Me --The Tams (1962)


In the 50s and 60s I saw these guys perform many times. The lead singer, Joe Pope, had such an unmistakable voice. Joe passed away a long time ago but his voice lives on in 45s.

 

I recall when Eric and company burst onto the music scene via the Ed Sullivan show broadcast in black and white. From 1964 now with color The House of the Rising Sun:

 

The Animals were (still are) one of the favorite groups of my cohorts and I as teens.
Really like this group as well. Little newer than Animals though. I tell my wife this was written about her.

Bringing this thread back up. Not to clash with "Forgotten Cool Songs".

A few songs that I just down loaded.

 

Anyone in to some White Zombie?

 

Dio and Rainbow, along with Dokken are on my favorites list.

This one is rather mellow. I heard it for the first time in a long time on our trip home from Wisconsin. The late Benjamin Orr of the Cars.

Here's an interesting one that I learned about last week. I knew this song but saw conflicting info – I thought the song was from '68, possibly a 45, but it appeared on the American Woman LP, which is from two years later.

Well, it seems the song was rerecorded for the album. Here's the LP cut:



And there's the original, which isn't as slow:

 

Connie Stevens--16 Reasons

 

Since I Don't Have You --The Skyliners (1959) with Jimmy Beaumont (RIP) singing lead.

 

Duke of Earl -- Gene Chandler (1961)
