Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer

The Supremes – Stop! In the Name of Love

Donovan – Mellow Yellow Creedence Clearwater Revival – Proud Mary

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles – The Tracks of My Tears

Aretha Franklin – Respect

Edited by jimwatts

Pink Floyd - See Emily Play

Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer

Glen Campbell – Wichita Lineman

Gerry and the Pacemakers – Ferry Cross the Mersey

The Beach Boys – Heroes and Villains

 

For the RIP slot, can we have 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love' by The Detroit Spinners (just known as The Spinners in the US) for Henry Fambrough who was the last surviving original member of the group. He was part of the The Spinners from 1954 until he retired in 2023. 69 years in one group must surely be a record.

Pink Floyd - See Emily Play

Procol Harum - Homburg

Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer

Donovan – Mellow Yellow

Simon Dupree and the Big Sound – Kites

 

As usual, I've avoided some of the classics that everyone will probably know.

Session 3 coming up to take us to the end of 1969!

Perhaps due to my laptop issues last week, I can't edit playlists in the main SyncTube room, so I've created a temporary one for this session:

 

https://sync-tube.de/room/lJXfeA_7

Edited by jimwatts

The Lemon Pipers – Green Tambourine

The Supremes – You Keep Me Hangin' On

Gun – Race with the Devil

Noel Harrison – The Windmills of Your Mind

Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues

Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man

 

(and I cut 'Respect' and 'Son Of A Preacher Man' in the assumption they're already safe x)

 

edit: I was told Dusty isn't safe so soz Supremes x
