Thanks for starting thread. I missed a lot of my new favs back in the days. Here are some more I play frequently:
Phaedra with Nancy Sinatra and the guy on a horse
The Last Farewell, Roger Whittaker
The End of the World, Skeeter Davis (one with long blonde hair and blue sweater)
Kiss Me Goodbye, Petula Clark, the with a closeup, bangs, sleveless black blouse
Do you find yourself to always be in a somber mood?
Phaedra was from the song ‘Some Velvet Morning’ by Lee Hazelwood. It was one of the most unusual songs released during that decade. To hear the by now familiar voice of Nancy Sinatra singing a duet about a mythologic character was surprising. Some would call it part of the psychedelic era.
It almost sounded like two separate songs loosely stitched together by way of a slowing tempo leading to a bridge.
It is said that this song may have been inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis, which took place a few weeks before it was released.
