Agree. I Know a Place was one of my favorite Petula hits.

George Young of the Easybeats was a legend of Aussie rock and a big influence on his little brothers - Malcolm and Angus.

I was born in ‘56 but had a sister eight years older. She was nuts about buying 45s and listening to top 40 radio. My dad was just as bad with country music on the radio. EVERY Friday and Saturday night was there no TV when he was listening to The Grand Ole Opry. Ah, the 60s, sigh.

On or about July 27, 1966, I was sitting in a car behind a flatbed truck loaded with tomatoes that was stopped at a red light in Naples. Before the light turned green, couple of the infamous scugnizzi (rascals), the infamous juvenile delinquents of Naples, darted out and helped themselves to a crate of tomatoes from the truck and then ducked into a nearby alley. All the while on the car radio, this tune was playing over a local AM station.

Sognando la California (California Dreaming) by the Dik Diks. This is fairly accurate translation.

From back when California was worth dreaming about, now it’s just a nightmare.

California is still beautiful. But now it's infested with crappy and woke people, including many of my relatives. I mourn for the place of my birth and my ancestors.

I like Englelbert’s ‘Please Release Me’.

Just checked it was ‘released’ in 1967.

For my money, you just can’t beat Petula Clark.

Some of my favorites by her.

The Song of the Mermaid (1952)

The Little Blue Man (1958)

Tout Au Long Du Calendrier (through the whole calendar; aka "Calendar Girl") (1961)

Growing up with the music of the 60’s was wonderful. Music was a BIG part of our lives and the radio stations were abuzz with the latest songs. We would hear a great song, run out and buy the 45, and tell all our friends about it, and play and dance to the “stax of wax” until we wore it out. We followed the top 40 charts and couldn’t wait to see what would be the new #1 record each week. Throw in TV shows like American Bandstand and variety shows where they featured the hot acts and it was music heaven for young people.

I never used to like 40s music because of the recording quality, but I’ve revisited it over the last decade or so.

Of course, hearing 40s music playing through inexpensive 80s speakers, off a record or cassette tape, is bound to sound inferior to remastered versions playing on more quality speakers today.

Channel 71 (40s Juntion) on SiriusXM sounds great, for instance. I obviously didn’t have anything like that as a kid.

They play commercials with the music sounding like I remembered it, and then start the actual music. Night and day difference.

Wedding Bell Blues was a hit in Southern California for Laura Nyro in the closing weeks of 1966, but it never made it over the Cajon Pass to the rest of the country.

Englebert did a good a job. This is the version I was weaned on. You’ve got me thinking about my dad.
