Post #79 - the “Doo Whop” transition period from the latter 1950s style up to the mid-60s ‘Super Groups’ that dominated the rest of the decade and longer. Pretty sure the Beatles were inspired by “Better Tell Him” and Bob Dylan liked how the singer on “Stop the Music” didn’t let the song’s structure dictate her vocal style.

“Pull the Covers Right Up” by The Tran-Sisters...their name was a take on transistor radios which were the MP3 players of that era. Today the name would be misconstrued as being ‘alternate lifestyle’. Innocence lost to time (sigh).

Thanks to everybody for sharing their faves here and expanding our cultural knowledge.
