In 1964, KRLA was my favorite station but by 1966, my first choice was Boss Radio 93 KHJ. Nonetheless, my brother preferred KRLA.
Threads such as this show how culturally diverse Freepers are. Not all conservatives prefer to listen to harpsichord music while sipping sherry.
The Yellow Beret--The Beach Bums
Love's Gone Bad--Chris Clark
Here’s one I’ve always liked that few have heard of, it’s basically early garage rock, mid-60’s from Seattle, woefully unappreciated. Compare their sound to The Black Keys of today.
The Sonics - “Have Love, Will Travel”
My first band , summer of 1966 ,covered this tune . :-) One of those songs anybody , even 14 year olds like we were , could do halfway decently .
I still have the 45 around here somewhere.
I played it over and over again until it was well grooved.
Had forgotten all about this song and group! TY! Just sent it to my sister.
(dang, the lead singer was HOT!)
Good song though. Those guys looked like they were having fun.
Did anybody notice how that seagull flew by in the background at around the 1:22 mark of that video? I'm thinking that was totally unscripted but it worked! That seagull was pretty awesome.
They WERE having fun weren’t they?
His smarmy chuckles - played and recorded perfectly for the subject matter of the song.
I thought the “gurlz version” (what? @ 20 yrs. later?) highlighted an interesting change in styles...
- it was harder, edgier, angrier - though the girl tried to carry off the chuckle, the music was fuller (jmo)
- the videography difference. Notice how the camera becomes part of the song in the later version. It jerks the viewer around, never letting us ‘settle’ on any one scene. I do not like that style. It’s distracting. Unnecessary. Like looking through ADHD eyes.
Though technically ‘cruder’ I suppose, the earlier version had a lighter innocence to it (yes, and a seagull!). It was better...
Had no idea what it was till the first riff. Heard it before and I always liked it. Pretty cool video.
Wow! Clearly a Motown job, but was it Berry Gordy’s label, or his boys HD&H going roque? By then Motown was in L.A., is that where it was recorded? I gotta say, you do find some gems.
You can read more on the VIP label over at Motwon Junkies.
Motown moved to LA in 1972. Sometime afterwards, Pat Boone, of all people, signed with the label.
Berry Gordy admitted (later) about moving to L.A., as early as in 1965, and some of the big hits by the Four Tops were recorded there, and not as commonly thought in Detroit. The 1972 move is the stuff of print the legend.

Another fine San Jose garage band...

I didn’t know they were from San Jose, but that song hit hard in Southern California.
