SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HIT – Barry McGuire: “Cloudy Summer Afternoon”

Today, Barry McGuire is a success in Christian rock, but in the mid-Sixties he was best known for his recording of P. F. Sloan’s protest song, “Eve of Destruction”. (I did Phil Sloan’s songbook a few years ago.) This is an example of just what Lou Adler could do as a producer. The Dixieland jazz playing is top notch, and the instrumental middle section of this recording is superlative. This should have been a hit.
