Rod Argent had been on the UK charts for years, but he hadn’t had an American hit since 1965. This came in at #3 this week.

The Zombies: “Time of the Season”

[ConorMacNessa]

A beautiful song - I like his rendering of his own work. Shortly before that, he wrote the songs on Richard Harris's debut album, "A Tramp Shining." I liked some of the songs on that album. Not so much, "MacArthur Park", but "Dancing Girl" and "A Tramp Shining."



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The Fifth Dimension had recorded “Aquarius” from “Hair”, but the group decided that the song was too short and just didn’t work as a single. They then recorded “Let the Sunshine In” as a suffix to the song and released it that way. It came in at #2 this week.

The 5th Dimension: “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In”

I was a bit disappointed. In “Hair”, the song “The Flesh Failures” starts as a solo and morphs into a chorus (1:13). Then, when you least expect it, the chorus slips into “Let the Sunshine In” in 8-part harmony (2:30), and it’s one of the most overwhelming moments in an American musical, especially when you see it live. Some creative over-dubbing could have duplicated that effect. Here is the original for comparison.

”The Flesh Failures/Let The Sunshine In”

Tommy Roe had started out seven years earlier as a Buddy Holly imitator. He had picked up a few hits in 1966, but now he had his biggest success, marking out his territory in the “bubble gum” genre. This came in at #1 this week.

Tommy Roe: “Dizzy”

And so we end one week of music history 44 years ago. See you tomorrow night! Cue the Rockumentary theme!

San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

[Drumbo]

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime
