California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas, Walk Away Renee by The Lefte Bank, Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again by The Fortunes, You Showed Me by The Turtles...just to name a few :)
Here's one that never gets played enough, even though it did finish in theBillboard year end Top 100 for 1968 (barely, at #98): The American Breed's "Bend me, Shape Me." One of the few songs that is better in the verses than the chorus, with the short instrumental sections actually the most memorable part.
'No Milk Today' Herman's Hermits 'Bus Stop' The Hollies 'This Diamond Ring' Gary Lewis & the Playboys 'You were On My Mind' We Five 'Bad to Me' Billy Kramer & the Dakotas
High school kid in the mid 60’s. Fell asleep with a transistor radio under my pillow every night listening to all of these. (Millennials ask, “Dude, what’s a transistor radio?”)
Oh my, me too. That was the BEST decade in music. Don’t have music like that anymore!! But I have NOT forgotten the BEST MUSIC ever recorded!!! I Still listen to it!!!!
Me and my old Sony take great offense at any commentary from millennials. That little silver radio was one of the best gifts of my life. Way less strings attached than a cell phone.
You're preaching to the choir here. The 1960s is my absolute favorite decade for music. From 1960 to 1969, from Rhythm and Blues, to Surf Rock, to Folk Rock, to the British Invasion, Psychedelia, Bubblegum Pop, Hard Rock, early Heavy Metal, and even early Electronic Rock, the sheer amount of quality music that came from that decade is incredible. ✌☮
When you wrote "electronic rock," I was ready to argue... until I remembered that Emerson Lake and Palmer's "Lucky Man" was released in 1969. Thanks for the reminder!
I was born in 59, but i was the last of our family so i had brothers that taught me the love of music. From Boxcar Willy to Jefferson Airplane/ Starship. Im blessed to grow up in the prime time of the best music ever made.
"Incense & Peppermints" - by The Strawberry Alarm Clock. A true one hit wonder band. This single was released with little airplay. (I heard it and went crazy, and annoyed it didn't catch). Some months later it was re-released and bang! This time not to be ignored. Great days !
I totally agree! The first time I heard "Incense and Peppermints" I fell in love with it! Easily one of the greatest psychedelic songs from the late 60s. Altough you don't hear it much anymore, it did go to #1 in 1967 and became one of the biggest hits of the year.
Most of these songs are actually very well-known and often played on reaction channels. Some songs that have sadly disappeared and need to be heard and heard often would be Love is All Around by theTroggs, What theWorld Needs Now by Jackie DeSannon, Darlin BE Home Soon by Lovin Spoonful, and Easy To Be Hard by Three Dog Night, a powerful ballad important and as relevant today as it ever was.
Didn't know that...Thanks for the info!... ...Was just reminiscing his "Ferry" song last week! In another piece of RIP news, Phil Spector passed today...Not really weeping for him tho...Sorry!
@@imanonattorneyspokesperson Not weeping for him either, BUT he will always be a great force and name in musical history. We need to separate the man from the artistic creations.
@@hudois You're absolutely correct 👏 Sometimes "life" happens beyond one's ability to manage let alone control. After all is said and done, He was just a human being.
I remember all of these songs well. I’m now 70..married my HS sweetheart 50 years ago. And The Turtles “So Happy Together” was, and still is, our song. We listen to it….and smile.
Two of the Turtles--Mark Volman and Howie Kaylan--shifted gears in the 70s and hooked up with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention for a while; did some good work...
So much great music from the '60s that a lot of it has sort of fallen through the cracks. Here's a couple that came to mind. Little Red Riding Hood, and Wooly Bully, both by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.
To hard to NOT remember these tunes,,The Seeds, Zombies, The Circle, hell I can't even tell you the list would be SOO long,,we had it all, before AM and FM/ SOUL split Thier separate ways,,hell before Route 70/75 connect we had it all,,, wouldn't trade it.
It's not only those of us who grew up in the 60s who think it was the most explosive and dynamic and eclectic music. And US Pop music history. Our offspring have adopted many of the groups that we listened to and agree that the music is classic and enduring.
Mama & the Pappas, Judy Collins, Janis Joplin....so many! One of the greatest generations of music...even if much of it was before I was born! Oh...and The Supremes.....a bountiful plethora......
The Turtles “Happy Together “I have spent 25 years as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse singing Happy Together to my preemies. A whole generation will love this song.
"How can i forget you if you never go away?" I disagree with this guy, these songs are closer to Iconic versus forgotten. "You'll Never Walk Alone" maybe but the rest you are going to hear sooner than later.
I kept waiting for a forgotten song ~ it was You'll Never Walk Alone ~ I had one Gary & the Pacemaker 45RPMs, but would remember many of their songs, like Ferry Across the Mercy, that I did not like. I was frustrated getting a usable password for an account when I heard "try 96 tears" and that became & still is my password to this day.
@@alyceclover now that you have told me (us?) you're going to have to kill me. You'll Never Walk Alone wasn't exactly forgotten; The Tremelos did a song that directly referenced it. Cf music.czcams.com/video/CMy6PaZT7_g/video.html&feature=share at 1:12.
I know the 60s were great, but for me it started in the late 50s. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and all of the others got going. American Bandstand went nationwide around 1957/58 and having a transistor radio was all you needed. No, we haven't forgotten, CZcams, LPs, CDs keeps us going with our music from the past.
The amount of great music that evolved during the 60,s was unbelievable. I remember when all these songs came out. It was the greatest music era ever and still strong today and will be in years and years to come !
Was only 8, 9, 10 in the 60's, but have an amazing sister who let me into her world. She was a teen and we would listen to lots of music. She had quite the album collection. Plus, we would listen to what was then referred to as "underground" radio. Very clandestine. I was also one of those kids with the transistor radio with the one earplug plugged in late at night in bed listening to music when I should have been sleeping. But the music was just so excellent in the 60's. You had the California sound, Motown, the British Invasion, etc. What was a kid to do?
@@jerryshunk7152 , I remember Bless You and several others! I only remember one by Hamilton Camp and it is different from the one you listed and the one by Annette is nothing I am familiar with! I remember Tall Paul and Pineapple Princess however! Lol!! And the Eddie Hodges one I don’t recall!!
I'm older than my wife and her friends... We wee out one New Years eve and got to arguing over music. I made the m a bet that most of their favorite music was from people from the 60s and 70s, they are from the 80s, If the song they like was from a band or singer from my time, 60s and 70s, I got a point... If it was from someone in the 80s they got a point... I won hands down... It was no contest... the 60s and 70s were the pinnacle of great music... throw in the 50s and you have the perfect trifecta... No other three decades will ever come close...
Boots, Crimson, and especially House are not forgotten. I hear them all the time. Now if you want to know the most under rated group from the 60s, that would be the Grass Roots. They had hit after hit. Their music exploded out of the radio. I turn it up every time I hear one of their songs because they were meant to be played/heard loud!
Although it was, more or less, bubblegum.. I have to confess that I did 'turn em up' all the way when I was alone in my car.🎹🎶🔊 "Things I Should Have Said" czcams.com/video/ysSD1Qupii0/video.html
Loved them all! Love them all! I would add "Downtown" with Petula Clark, "Georgy Girl" with the Seekers and "Those were the days" with Mary Hopkins. They are all part of the soundtrack of my life.
I have seen British movies from the early 1940s with Clark as a teenager. The Seekers still play, Judy Durham joins once in a while. She's almost 80 y/o and still sounds the same.
"Georgy Girl" was my favorite song the summer before I started 7th grade. I remember playing it over and over every day. I'm surprised I didn't wear that record out! 😂
None of these are forgotten in my neck of the woods! I have them all in vinyl and in CD… and on my cell phone! (Where I have ALL of my CDs… over 10,000 songs! They are on my computer as well! I listen to something every day!!!!
As a graduate of the 60s, none of these songs have been forgotten by my generation. Maybe they don't get much airplay today in the States, but they get a lot of You Tube play, by those who remember them. And here in Israel, most of them are played regularly on the quality 88FM station.
We watched the Ed Sullivan show every week. One of my favorite episodes was the Temptations in 1967 singing, I've got Sunshine. My older sisters were rock and rollers, but I loved the Motown sound. Great memories
I’m into the Easy Listening music genre but loved the 1960s. During that time I was in the single digits as a kid. There was a tremendous amount of music during that time that which became great easy listening music. I didn’t get into some serious music listening until about 1975. Now, even though it’s the 2020s, I still love the songs from the 1960s. Some of those songs are still relevant today. Petula Clark, Jackie DeShannon, and others are so precious.
"Look at all the HATE there is in Red China…" We never hear about "RED" China anymore. Our mainstream media are too politically correct to shine light on the evils of communism. This very day, the RED Chinese are vivisecting prisoners without anesthetic, to sell their organs. When nobody cares about the scores of millions of people communism has killed, We truly _are_ on the eve of destruction.
@@DrChaad Please cite where Chinese are performing vivisection on unanesthesized human beings. I won’t be holding my breath on this one. But I see where the cult right would love to HEAR your story. Anything to keep them dumbfounded and full of hatred!
I was a teenager in the 60s so, of course, I think those were by far the best years for music. There were a few good groups and songs in the 70s, but after that it all went down hill rapidly. There has been little or nothing worth listening to in the last 50 years. But then what can you expect, I'm just an old man living in the past. :)
I'm glad that I was born in the mid-50s and got to be a part of the explosive development of music that happened in the late 50s-70s when I was young. It was a mix of everything before and brand new music. My daughter is jealous of me having experienced this. And I think it has shaped me in my broad view and experience of music today. When you were a teenager in Europe in the 60s and interested in music, it was the radio we listened to. And I listened a lot to "Radio Luxemburg" which played new music from the world late at night. I had a small mono earphone in my ear so not disturb my sisters who were sleeping in the same room. Most of the time I fell asleep quickly because it was so late, school was waiting the next day. I was 13 years old when I heard "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for the first time. It was with a group called The Hounds and that song has stayed with me through the years and still remain in my head with text and only good memories with positive experiences. I listened to The Ventures and The Shadows a lot and still do today. Another group like The Kinks with songs Lola, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Come Dancing was also important songs that many forget.
If people are into dancing you'll find that two excellent Animal songs "The House of The Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" were each turned into awesome 15-16 minute long dance songs by the '80's band Santa Esmeralda. Also, The Righteous Bros. do a great cover version of "You'll Never Walk Alone."
And don't forget the Animals 'biggest and best song "w "We Gotta Get Our of This Place." Summer of 1965 . No sooner had it hit the airwaves than it because an ANTHEM. Millions of people could relate to it. Official anthem of troops trapped in Vietnam, convicts in prison, people stuck in dead end jobs. Us postal workers in my time there sang it all the time. Finally, Oct 1 2021,I DID get out of that place .
This made me think of a lot of bands that today's teens never heard of; the Zombies, Beau Brummels, Manford Mann, Herman's Hermits, The Archies, and many more! It was the best time to be alive!
I still like The Association, to name just one in the 60's. Several members have died since then. Too many things change too much, too fast, to suit me.
I am 65, and I would not qualify any of these songs as forgotten. In fact, these songs are, in my view, UNFORGETTABLE! Enjoy the channel, and stay safe❤
You are so right. The 60s and 70s did produce some of the best music ever created! As a young teen in the late 60s, I was able to hear this wonderful music, often live in concert for a $3 ticket. One of my favourites was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Iron Butterfly. I got to see them live in concert and my mom bought me the album.
Yes I remember sitting in a steamy forecasting for my date. Rain pouring down outside and he was late. Groovy kind of love came on and I was lost I it. 16 years old
We old farts can go on forever about the 60s and we were so proud to be The Class Of ‘69. Never forget The Buckinghams, The Guess Who, Dusty Springfield, The Vogues, The Cyrkle, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Cranberries….like I said we can go on forever, and all of us here have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
Hey Joe -The Leaves. Sit With The Guru - SA Clock. Friday On My Mind - Easybeats. Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group. Gimme Little Sign - Brenton Wood. And, the list goes on.
I love Spencer Davis Group lead by Stevie Winwood, yes that one, he went on to fame as a solo artists and with the groups Traffic and Blind Faith. We're showing our age here.
I LOVE "Western Union"! I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a small child. I have 5 older siblings (the oldest was 13 when I was born) so I heard a LOT of popular music as a baby & toddler. It's funny. when I'm listening to "Golden Oldies On Demand" (my 15-year-old daughter loves oldies) and a song strikes a "happy chord" in me, I look at the year...inevitably, it's either 1967 or 1968...when I was from 2 to 4. Heck: my all-time favorite song is, was, and probably ever will be is "To Sir, With Love" by Lulu. My brother told me that, when that song came on, I'd always run straight to the stereo.
The Legend of Xanadu by Dave, Dee, Dozie, Mitch and Tich, Judy in Disguise with Glasses by John Fred and his Playboy band, Israelites by Desmond Dekker and the Aces, Pretty Ballerina by the Left Banke, Go Go Round by Gordon Lightfoot
Love, "7 and 7 Is," Small Faces, "Itchycoo Park," Yardbirds, "Shapes Of Things," Standells, "Dirty Water," Troggs, "Wild Thing," Electric Prunes, "Too Much To Dream," Grass Roots, "Live For Today," Kinks, "All Of The Night," Count Five, "Psychotic Reaction," Strawberry Alarm Clock, "Incense and Peppermints," Doors, "Light My Fire."
You might be able to fool the younger gen with the title but these songs and bands are not forgotten. They are still played regularly on sirius. And remembered by that generatiom that grew up with it. And as we fade away with age. The younger folks who appreciate the music and iconic times of the 60s and 70s will keep the feeling alive. God bless the artists those alive and those gone but not forgotten from the best era of music.
@@beachgirl48 I listen to the "I Love the Sixties" and the "True Oldies Channel" on iHeart. Occasionally I hear them along with songs like "In The Ghetto" by Elvis Presley and "Abraham, Martin and John" by Dion. The True Oldies Channel will also play songs from the pioneers of rock and roll.
I was born in 1950 in So Cal so the 60's was the sound track for everything we did from surfing to M/C racing to partying and even spending my last teen year in Vietnam. A lot of this music is timeless.
I too was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley during the 60’s and 70’s. It was absolutely magical, cruising to Bob’s Big Boy while listening to the greatest era of music ever made. Anyone have a Time Machine?
This 21 yr old American was on a train from Holyhead Scotland to Gatwick airport crying cause I left my brother back in Ireland in 1986. A bunch of rugby hooligans were in my car drunk and screaming " House of the rising sun". God sends his blessings in weird ways.
I'm now 69 and those are all in my playlists along with 100''drs of others from the Birds, Simon & Garfunkel, Monkeys, Herman's Hermits. Peter, Paul,& Mary Stones, Beatles, Doors, Chicago, Dillon, When I play it in the shop and someone younger comes in they are blown away by the breath and quality of the selections.
@@jongibson4599 Search, Seek, hardly a difference. But you seem to have eclectic tastes, long way from the Seekers to Jimmy Ruffin - cool. And I am sorry if I came across like an ahole, I just was struck by that similarity in names and the mix-up. My bad.
Sir Wellington Boot. Hey sir Wellington. If you came across like an Arsehole, then I must also be a very big one. I am just so pedantic about that sort of stuff. I would also have had to point out that not only had the two groups got muddled, but they shouldn't really be confused at all as they are from totally different ends of the planet ! 🌍🌏. You can even hear it in the voices. The Searchers are clearly 'Scousers' from Liverpool here in the U.K. While the Seekers were from down under in Australia. Oh well that's enough of my 'Arse-holing' for this evening
Ha - defintiely equired songs of the time! Schoolmate: I heard you play guitar. Me: Yeah, I play guitar. Schoolmate: Play House of the Rising Sun. Me: I don't know how to play that. Him: Then you don't play guitar!
The song "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) came out in 1969 and it has become a legendary song sung by people in the streets in the 21st century---usually to be humorous!
Google "Song reactions". It's probably the most reacted song on the list. That and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. It's fun to watch the young minds being blown by Bobby Hatfield!
I was born in 1986... I've still heard about half of these, and heard of most of the rest. Despite my taste in music including basically none of the relevant genres.
I forgot about them on purpose. Most of the songs in the 60s I despised. Especially Nancy Sinatra because she hates veterans and she is a flaming liberal.
How about The Cream, Credence Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night and Blood, Sweat and Tears? And although the song One Moire Mountain To Climb was made famous in 1972 by Doctor Music, it was written and first recorded by Neil Sedaka in 1967.
Here in Western Australia, I listen to a community radio station instead of the big commercial stations, and still hear all of these regularly with the exception of 96 tears. As such, I think their playlists mostly from the 50's, 60's and 70's is of music with minimal royalty payments required. Most of their presenters are also retired broadcast people that donate their time to keep busy doing something they know and love.
Gerry and The Pacemakers came to a tragic end in the mid ‘70s when they walked into a convenience store where a microwave oven was operating…only Gerry survived… Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Be sure and tip your waitstaff!
Have you checked out Status Quo's history? Pictures was a conscious decision to cash on the psychedelic fad. It worked. Once. When it didn't work the next couple of times. They went back to being a blues boogie band. They put out many albums in the UK most of which didn't even dent the US Top 200.
I'm a musician and I was born in 1953 so the 60's was the music of young teenage years. I saw the Beatles and I just had to have a guitar. I specialize in playing obscure 60's song at dances. People always sort of recognize them. In sort of alphabetical order he's from my currant set list. Bus Stop, Dock of the Bay, Sea Cruise, Into the Mystic, Things we said today, My Girl, I'm a Believer, Runaway, Sing in the sunshine, The Letter, Time won't let me, Whiter shade of pale, Bootleg, Crosstie walker, Bottle of Wine, The Bitter green, Oh Carol, You never can tell, Im a loser, On and on.
Which 1960s hit song do you feel doesn't get enough airplay? 🤔
"Build me up, Buttercup" can never get enough air! How bout "Fire" by Arthur Brown? But the former should've DEF been on this list!
California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas, Walk Away Renee by The Lefte Bank, Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again by The Fortunes, You Showed Me by The Turtles...just to name a few :)
Here's one that never gets played enough, even though it did finish in theBillboard year end Top 100 for 1968 (barely, at #98):
The American Breed's "Bend me, Shape Me."
One of the few songs that is better in the verses than the chorus, with the short instrumental sections actually the most memorable part.
Jackie DeShannon's Put A Little Love In Your Heart is one of my favorites.
'No Milk Today' Herman's Hermits
'Bus Stop' The Hollies
'This Diamond Ring' Gary Lewis & the Playboys
'You were On My Mind' We Five
'Bad to Me' Billy Kramer & the Dakotas
None of these songs are forgotten. The 60's and 70's are easily the best decades for music.
The 80s are up there too. Today’s new music is garbage.
Agree 💯
I quit music radio in 1981!
60s 70s and 80s is the best ever
@@kevinmcconnell3641and then you went to MTV?
Not a single song on this list is forgotten. Not even close. Fire whoever made this list.
Also, is it really nostalgic if you weren't actually there? The copy in this video sounds like it was auto generated by some AI view bot. Ugh
Yeah. I can sing anyone of them from memory
Yep, House of RS is virtually the only Animals song that gets played today, even on SiriusXM
I know, right? Can't be forgotten no matter how hard you try!
People have paid me to not sing. Would you fire me too?
Every song here brings back so many fantastic memories! It seems as if today's music simply cannot hold a candle to the 60's and 70's.
Your absolutely right. To me the late 60’s and early 70’s were some of the greatest songs ever sang
Agree 👍
All these songs are still hits to people my age. Not forgotten at all.
High school kid in the mid 60’s. Fell asleep with a transistor radio under my pillow every night listening to all of these. (Millennials ask, “Dude, what’s a transistor radio?”)

90% of these songs are not forgotten, it's just that they're being discovered by people who weren't around in the 1960's to enjoy them.
and they'll chime in that it's underrated because they never heard if before.
Especially the platnum hits
I don't understand how nobody from our time doesn't know them, they're so famous!
i'm 72 years old now; Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I remember all of them. How could you forget when you lived it.
True, and there was so much to remember. Music was everywhere
You know that they say if you remember the sixties you weren't there?
@@tommystyx That makes no sense, who said that?

Never needing more cowbell!!
"Incense and Peppermints " received substantial airplay. It was a #1 record in 1967.

None of these songs or bands have been forgotten by those of us who were teens in the 60s. Still hear many of them on Jukebox Oldies on Stingray.
"Ferry cross the Mersey",
"Don't let the sun catch you crying", my very first album I ever bought.
Nobody from the 60s ever forgot how awesome this music was. We've been missing it for over 50 years!
Today's "music" can't compete with our grnre
It's still alive!! A few of my grandchildren have discovered some great 60s songs & now know them!!
Truth
We rarely play anything past 75. The Deads Into the dark 87 is an exception among others.
I know right 🤷🤦
Most of these songs are actually very well-known and often played on reaction channels. Some songs that have sadly disappeared and need to be heard and heard often would be Love is All Around by theTroggs, What theWorld Needs Now by Jackie DeSannon, Darlin BE Home Soon by Lovin Spoonful, and Easy To Be Hard by Three Dog Night, a powerful ballad important and as relevant today as it ever was.
@paulmartin, WELL SAID. Thank you.
could not agree more love all those song. What the World Needs now is one of my all time favs
"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum
Easy to be Hard was also a song from Hair
Crimson and clover is still one of the best songs ever recorded. It's on my Pandora station that I play EVERYDAY.
A massive hit selling over 5 million records for Tommy James and the Shondells. Prince did a great cover of this classic

So much great music from the '60s that a lot of it has sort of fallen through the cracks. Here's a couple that came to mind. Little Red Riding Hood, and Wooly Bully, both by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

Anyone who was a teen aged in the 60s remembers every one of theses songs.
Exactly, I remember everyone
I was in elementary school in the 60's and I remember all of thse songs!
Born in 73, I remember them.
I was born in 1964 and remember every single one of them!
I was in grade school in the Sixties, and I remember them all, too.
This was a nice video, I enjoyed it.
Best era of music ever. Still listen to them now,at 73 years of age.
Me too. Try manic grasshopper , excerpts 60’s hits year by year . 1962 def my favorite, I was 16 , probably helps !
Hey, 72 here! 60s music was the best.
Also 73 She's not there, czcams.com/video/_2hXBf1DakE/video.html by The Zombies Remember the TV show hullabaloo?
Also 73, we got to hear early rock and roll, through the Beatles.
It's not only those of us who grew up in the 60s who think it was the most explosive and dynamic and eclectic music. And US Pop music history. Our offspring have adopted many of the groups that we listened to and agree that the music is classic and enduring.
If you lived through that era you never forget any of these songs. It was the Golden Era of rock and roll that will never be matched.
Mama & the Pappas, Judy Collins, Janis Joplin....so many! One of the greatest generations of music...even if much of it was before I was born! Oh...and The Supremes.....a bountiful plethora......
The Turtles “Happy Together “I have spent 25 years as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse singing Happy Together to my preemies. A whole generation will love this song.
Here's hoping! Maybe we can bring some common sense back to music, huh?
No one who lived it had forgotten any of these songs.
Well, drugs or alcohol could easily have contributed to forgetting some of these songs....
You're correct dear. I was drunk and stoned the whole time, still remember all that. Oh and that Gerry and the Pacemakers song was gay. Choose over.
"How can i forget you if you never go away?" I disagree with this guy, these songs are closer to Iconic versus forgotten. "You'll Never Walk Alone" maybe but the rest you are going to hear sooner than later.
I kept waiting for a forgotten song ~ it was You'll Never Walk Alone ~ I had one Gary & the Pacemaker 45RPMs, but would remember many of their songs, like Ferry Across the Mercy, that I did not like.
I was frustrated getting a usable password for an account when I heard "try 96 tears" and that became & still is my password to this day.
@@alyceclover now that you have told me (us?) you're going to have to kill me.
You'll Never Walk Alone wasn't exactly forgotten; The Tremelos did a song that directly referenced it. Cf music.czcams.com/video/CMy6PaZT7_g/video.html&feature=share

Sugar Sugar and bubblegum music always brings me a smile at 68 years old. The summer of 69 is alive and well with me.
I know the 60s were great, but for me it started in the late 50s. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and all of the others got going. American Bandstand went nationwide around 1957/58 and having a transistor radio was all you needed. No, we haven't forgotten, CZcams, LPs, CDs keeps us going with our music from the past.
The amount of great music that evolved during the 60,s was unbelievable. I remember when all these songs came out. It was the greatest music era ever and still strong today and will be in years and years to come !
As a teenager in the mid and late 60s, "96 Tears" is a song that really conjures up feelings from that era.
Was only 8, 9, 10 in the 60's, but have an amazing sister who let me into her world. She was a teen and we would listen to lots of music. She had quite the album collection. Plus, we would listen to what was then referred to as "underground" radio. Very clandestine. I was also one of those kids with the transistor radio with the one earplug plugged in late at night in bed listening to music when I should have been sleeping. But the music was just so excellent in the 60's. You had the California sound, Motown, the British Invasion, etc. What was a kid to do?
Forgotten?? Not to those whose life's soundtrack, these songs are a part of!
I know every song better than today I was an 80's music child
Maybe he thinks we all have Alzheimer's

Not forgotten by those who lived when music was real and imagination & creativity knew no bounds. ❤
I'm older than my wife and her friends... We wee out one New Years eve and got to arguing over music. I made the m a bet that most of their favorite music was from people from the 60s and 70s, they are from the 80s, If the song they like was from a band or singer from my time, 60s and 70s, I got a point... If it was from someone in the 80s they got a point... I won hands down... It was no contest... the 60s and 70s were the pinnacle of great music... throw in the 50s and you have the perfect trifecta... No other three decades will ever come close...
I totally agree!
Boots, Crimson, and especially House are not forgotten. I hear them all the time. Now if you want to know the most under rated group from the 60s, that would be the Grass Roots. They had hit after hit. Their music exploded out of the radio. I turn it up every time I hear one of their songs because they were meant to be played/heard loud!
I got Rob Grill’s autograph after a concert in 1992! Made 12 year old me’s year! 😁
Along with Gary Puckett and the Union Gap.
Grassroots were incredible live for to day and midnight confession among others really awesome band.
Although it was, more or less, bubblegum.. I have to confess that I did 'turn em up' all the way when I was alone in my car.🎹🎶🔊 "Things I Should Have Said" czcams.com/video/ysSD1Qupii0/video.html
Grass Roots had the best 1-2-3-4 countdown ever
Loved them all! Love them all! I would add "Downtown" with Petula Clark, "Georgy Girl" with the Seekers and "Those were the days" with Mary Hopkins. They are all part of the soundtrack of my life.
Lazy Day - Spanky and Our Gang
I have seen British movies from the early 1940s with Clark as a teenager. The Seekers still play, Judy Durham joins once in a while. She's almost 80 y/o and still sounds the same.
Those are some good ones to add.
Those were the days is a russian folk song.
"Georgy Girl" was my favorite song the summer before I started 7th grade. I remember playing it over and over every day. I'm surprised I didn't wear that record out! 😂
I can hear most of these recordings virtually every day on Gold UK. There's no way they can be forgotten.
None of these are forgotten in my neck of the woods! I have them all in vinyl and in CD… and on my cell phone! (Where I have ALL of my CDs… over 10,000 songs! They are on my computer as well! I listen to something every day!!!!
As a graduate of the 60s, none of these songs have been forgotten by my generation. Maybe they don't get much airplay today in the States, but they get a lot of You Tube play, by those who remember them. And here in Israel, most of them are played regularly on the quality 88FM station.
Corporate Radio. Check the WKRP episode of "The Consultant" for both a good laugh and a view of the downfall of radio.
I am 1975 and I heard these songs all the time
Agree ! I believe these songs are very well known ! I listen to many on line radio stations and this selection are played consistently !
I agree that’s all I listen to the oldies station💛💚❤️💙🤍🧡❤️
Shalom to all in Israel, and Shabbat Shalom. I'm glad at least some folks enjoy our 1960s music in Israel. God bless you all.
We watched the Ed Sullivan show every week. One of my favorite episodes was the Temptations in 1967 singing, I've got Sunshine. My older sisters were rock and rollers, but I loved the Motown sound. Great memories
The name of the song was “My Girl”.
I loved Motown sound, but was also big fan of Simon & Garfunkel ! But Motown was in it's hay-day back then...so many wonderful songs !!!
I’m into the Easy Listening music genre but loved the 1960s. During that time I was in the single digits as a kid. There was a tremendous amount of music during that time that which became great easy listening music. I didn’t get into some serious music listening until about 1975. Now, even though it’s the 2020s, I still love the songs from the 1960s. Some of those songs are still relevant today. Petula Clark, Jackie DeShannon, and others are so precious.
Being a "BABY BOOMER" , as kid during the sixties I remember my older brothers playing these classic all the time. Thanks for posting ✌☺
“Eve of Destruction” Perfect for today.
So is bobby Darins "simple song of freedom "
Had the privilege of getting to know Barry McGuire and his wife through my late husband, a professional musician, after they first met in the 70's.
"Look at all the HATE there is in Red China…" We never hear about "RED" China anymore. Our mainstream media are too politically correct to shine light on the evils of communism. This very day, the RED Chinese are vivisecting prisoners without anesthetic, to sell their organs. When nobody cares about the scores of millions of people communism has killed, We truly _are_ on the eve of destruction.

Please cite where Chinese are performing vivisection on unanesthesized human beings. I won’t be holding my breath on this one. But I see where the cult right would love to HEAR your story. Anything to keep them dumbfounded and full of hatred!
@ Dr. James :-)
I was a teenager in the 60s so, of course, I think those were by far the best years for music. There were a few good groups and songs in the 70s, but after that it all went down hill rapidly. There has been little or nothing worth listening to in the last 50 years. But then what can you expect, I'm just an old man living in the past. :)
The Year 2525, by Zager And Evans, released in 1969, is utterly worthy to mention, remember and commemorate.- Walter Wolanski
The Year 2525 had a message ' The Future is NOW !!!!
"Don't let the sun catch you crying." "Georgey Girl"
"World without love"
world without love now escapes me, was that Peter & Gorden or who ? Anybody mention Lay Lady Lay ? I'm pretty sure that B side was Maggie's Farm
@@porkbelly0713 ...World without Love was Peter & Gordon. It was written by Paul McCartney.
I love ‘world without love’ my Dad used to sing it beautifully, he had a lovely voice.
Yes, and Don’t walk away Renea! Love the songs you mentioned too!
@@imamorninglory "Just Walk Away Renee" - good one.
I'm glad that I was born in the mid-50s and got to be a part of the explosive development of music that happened in the late 50s-70s when I was young.
It was a mix of everything before and brand new music. My daughter is jealous of me having experienced this. And I think it has shaped me in my broad view and experience of music today.
When you were a teenager in Europe in the 60s and interested in music, it was the radio we listened to. And I listened a lot to "Radio Luxemburg" which played new music from the world late at night. I had a small mono earphone in my ear so not disturb my sisters who were sleeping in the same room. Most of the time I fell asleep quickly because it was so late, school was waiting the next day.
I was 13 years old when I heard "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for the first time. It was with a group called The Hounds and that song has stayed with me through the years and still remain in my head with text and only good memories with positive experiences.
I listened to The Ventures and The Shadows a lot and still do today.
Another group like The Kinks with songs Lola, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Come Dancing was also important songs that many forget.
Hello
Your response reminded me of the song " When I was Young".
I remember all these songs. Great picks
If people are into dancing you'll find that two excellent Animal songs "The House of The Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" were each turned into awesome 15-16 minute long dance songs by the '80's band Santa Esmeralda. Also, The Righteous Bros. do a great cover version of "You'll Never Walk Alone."
And don't forget the Animals 'biggest and best song "w
"We Gotta Get Our of This Place." Summer of 1965 . No sooner had it hit the airwaves than it because an ANTHEM. Millions of people could relate to it. Official anthem of troops trapped in Vietnam, convicts in prison, people stuck in dead end jobs. Us postal workers in my time there sang it all the time. Finally, Oct 1 2021,I DID get out of that place .
I never forgot any of these songs and I dont think anyone else did either. They are all sixties classics.
This made me think of a lot of bands that today's teens never heard of; the Zombies, Beau Brummels, Manford Mann, Herman's Hermits, The Archies, and many more! It was the best time to be alive!
Wow, I remember each one of those bands...what a time!
Manfred Mann.
I still like The Association, to name just one in the 60's. Several members have died since then. Too many things change too much, too fast, to suit me.
I feel sorry for these kids, because they didn’t experience what we did.
Also the Vogues. "5 O'Clock World" is awesome!
I am 65, and I would not qualify any of these songs as forgotten. In fact, these songs are, in my view, UNFORGETTABLE! Enjoy the channel, and stay safe❤
You are so right. The 60s and 70s did produce some of the best music ever created! As a young teen in the late 60s, I was able to hear this wonderful music, often live in concert for a $3 ticket. One of my favourites was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, Iron Butterfly. I got to see them live in concert and my mom bought me the album.
I have the album by Iron Butterfly and absolutely LOVE the drum solo!
I remember all these songs and the lyrics, however, not where I put my car keys yesterday.
Hello Barbara, How are you doing?
Me too!
amen! LOL
I can't remember where I left them 10 minutes after putting them down lmao
I thought it was just me but I don't remember. 😃
The sixties were the best time for EVERYTHING. I really like GROOVY KIND OF LOVE.
Yes I remember sitting in a steamy forecasting for my date. Rain pouring down outside and he was late. Groovy kind of love came on and I was lost I it. 16 years old
Every 60s song will never leave my mind and be forgotten
We old farts can go on forever about the 60s and we were so proud to be The Class Of ‘69. Never forget The Buckinghams, The Guess Who, Dusty Springfield, The Vogues, The Cyrkle, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Cranberries….like I said we can go on forever, and all of us here have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
Hey Joe -The Leaves. Sit With The Guru - SA Clock. Friday On My Mind - Easybeats. Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group. Gimme Little Sign - Brenton Wood. And, the list goes on.
I love Spencer Davis Group lead by Stevie Winwood, yes that one, he went on to fame as a solo artists and with the groups Traffic and Blind Faith. We're showing our age here.
Hey Joe by the Leaves is one not played at all on the oldies channels. Had the 45.
Good list!
"Expressway To Your Heart" - Soul Survivors, "Western Union" - The Five Americans, "I've Been Lonely Too Long" - The Rascals.
I LOVE "Western Union"! I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a small child. I have 5 older siblings (the oldest was 13 when I was born) so I heard a LOT of popular music as a baby & toddler. It's funny. when I'm listening to "Golden Oldies On Demand" (my 15-year-old daughter loves oldies) and a song strikes a "happy chord" in me, I look at the year...inevitably, it's either 1967 or 1968...when I was from 2 to 4. Heck: my all-time favorite song is, was, and probably ever will be is "To Sir, With Love" by Lulu. My brother told me that, when that song came on, I'd always run straight to the stereo.
The Legend of Xanadu by Dave, Dee, Dozie, Mitch and Tich, Judy in Disguise with Glasses by John Fred and his Playboy band, Israelites by Desmond Dekker and the Aces, Pretty Ballerina by the Left Banke, Go Go Round by Gordon Lightfoot
Expressway to your heart is one that I still have on my burned CDs. "lonely to long" is one of my favorite Rascal songs.
I haven't forgotten that great music I still love them!!!
I listen to this every day, and many many more.
Love, "7 and 7 Is," Small Faces, "Itchycoo Park," Yardbirds, "Shapes Of Things," Standells, "Dirty Water," Troggs, "Wild Thing," Electric Prunes, "Too Much To Dream," Grass Roots, "Live For Today," Kinks, "All Of The Night," Count Five, "Psychotic Reaction," Strawberry Alarm Clock, "Incense and Peppermints," Doors, "Light My Fire."
"Dirty water" by the Standells is one that would fit well in this video.

“She’s Not There”! ❤️❤️❤️
You might be able to fool the younger gen with the title but these songs and bands are not forgotten. They are still played regularly on sirius. And remembered by that generatiom that grew up with it. And as we fade away with age. The younger folks who appreciate the music and iconic times of the 60s and 70s will keep the feeling alive.
God bless the artists those alive and those gone but not forgotten from the best era of music.
None of these are even close to have been forgotten. They are still commonly played.
If you listen to any 60's oldies station, most (if not all) of these can be heard. Hardly forgotten.
We don't have an "oldies" station in Jacksonville Florida. I rely on iHeart and SiriuxXM60's. I rarely, if ever, hear these wonderful songs.
@@beachgirl48 I live in Clearwater. I, too, rely on SiriusXM. The 60's station plays these songs. I've heard them many times.
I can only get NPR in SE Michigan.
@@beachgirl48 I listen to the "I Love the Sixties" and the "True Oldies Channel" on iHeart. Occasionally I hear them along with songs like "In The Ghetto" by Elvis Presley and "Abraham, Martin and John" by Dion. The True Oldies Channel will also play songs from the pioneers of rock and roll.
I was born in 1950 in So Cal so the 60's was the sound track for everything we did from surfing to M/C racing to partying and even spending my last teen year in Vietnam. A lot of this music is timeless.
I envy you so much growing up in SO CAL during the American Graffiti era......the cars, the beach, just the whole package

@@jiwbink Most of us got the "Greetings from the President of the United States" letter just after graduation, but Yeah the music was good.

I too was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley during the 60’s and 70’s. It was absolutely magical, cruising to Bob’s Big Boy while listening to the greatest era of music ever made. Anyone have a Time Machine?
96 tears is the only one I had kind of forgotten. The songs from that era will live in my heart forever.
This 21 yr old American was on a train from Holyhead Scotland to Gatwick airport crying cause I left my brother back in Ireland in 1986.
A bunch of rugby hooligans were in my car drunk and screaming " House of the rising sun". God sends his blessings in weird ways.

Whippersnapper! ;)
I'm now 69 and those are all in my playlists along with 100''drs of others from the Birds, Simon & Garfunkel, Monkeys, Herman's Hermits. Peter, Paul,& Mary Stones, Beatles, Doors, Chicago, Dillon, When I play it in the shop and someone younger comes in they are blown away by the breath and quality of the selections.

I am 73 and still remember all these songs.
You youngsters!
The Searchers', "I'll Never Find Another You". Also, "You're Just Too Good to be True", and, "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted."
So close - the Searchers were terrific, but this one was by the Seekers...😀 Cheers
I screwed up; couldn't tell Searchers from Seekers. = (
@@jongibson4599 Search, Seek, hardly a difference. But you seem to have eclectic tastes, long way from the Seekers to Jimmy Ruffin - cool. And I am sorry if I came across like an ahole, I just was struck by that similarity in names and the mix-up. My bad.
Sir Wellington Boot. Hey sir Wellington. If you came across like an Arsehole, then I must also be a very big one. I am just so pedantic about that sort of stuff. I would also have had to point out that not only had the two groups got muddled, but they shouldn't really be confused at all as they are from totally different ends of the planet ! 🌍🌏. You can even hear it in the voices. The Searchers are clearly 'Scousers' from Liverpool here in the U.K. While the Seekers were from down under in Australia.

Thank you. I actually love every single one of these songs and groups.
I could have watched hours of this, every song on here brought back my youth.

I loved their version of Bring It On Home To Me.....❤❤❤
Love house of the rising sun!
If you were listening to pop music on the radio in the mid/late 60's, these songs are permanently imprinted on your brain and in your heart.
The song "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) came out in 1969 and it has become a legendary song sung by people in the streets in the 21st century---usually to be humorous!
Where were you in the 60's nobody that grew up in that era forgot these songs
The Righteous Brothers hit of "Unchained Melody" is my personal all tie favorite hit. I sing it at least once every day.
My husband would dance with me every time he heard this song, hold me close and quietly sing it in my ear. Makes me cry remembering this.
A man facing the death penalty. Looking out the barred window and seeing the rivers rolling slowly to the sea.
A Masterpiece
Google "Song reactions". It's probably the most reacted song on the list. That and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. It's fun to watch the young minds being blown by Bobby Hatfield!
Actually sung solo by Bobby Hatfield but credited to Righteous Brothers

The Seeds Pushing to Hard / Electric Prunes Had too much to Dream
'Judy In Disguise' John Fred and his Playboy Band.

60s song were great and even in 2023 songs of that time still are played .times of music were great in those days 👍🤞🤘🤜🤛🙏💜✌😎
Any human with a basic absorption of pop music would recognize every song on this list. Literally every song.
If you were a teenager in the 60's and 70's you remember everyone of these songs not sure why you think we would forget them
I was born in 1986... I've still heard about half of these, and heard of most of the rest. Despite my taste in music including basically none of the relevant genres.
So true!
I forgot about them on purpose. Most of the songs in the 60s I despised. Especially Nancy Sinatra because she hates veterans and she is a flaming liberal.
Well, you know how it is with us old folks. The memories tend to go...
@@glennso47 I can't STAND Snotra. She can't sing. Horrid song. Most of the hits I LOVE tho.
The Zombies, The Kinks. Stones. Beatles. Tommy Roe. James Brown. Etc. Definitely not forgotten for those of us who grew up during that time.
Zappa The Floyd Jimi
How about The Cream, Credence Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night and Blood, Sweat and Tears? And although the song One Moire Mountain To Climb was made famous in 1972 by Doctor Music, it was written and first recorded by Neil Sedaka in 1967.
Here in Western Australia, I listen to a community radio station instead of the big commercial stations, and still hear all of these regularly with the exception of 96 tears. As such, I think their playlists mostly from the 50's, 60's and 70's is of music with minimal royalty payments required. Most of their presenters are also retired broadcast people that donate their time to keep busy doing something they know and love.
Gerry and The Pacemakers came to a tragic end in the mid ‘70s when they walked into a convenience store where a microwave oven was operating…only Gerry survived…
Thank you! I’ll be here all week! Be sure and tip your waitstaff!
"I think we're alone now" by Tommy James and the Shondell's
and I did buy Crimson and Clover, remember that crazy tremelo guitar effect ?
"Pictures of Matchstick Men" - Status Quo 😎
Have you checked out Status Quo's history? Pictures was a conscious decision to cash on the psychedelic fad. It worked. Once. When it didn't work the next couple of times. They went back to being a blues boogie band. They put out many albums in the UK most of which didn't even dent the US Top 200.
One of my absolute favorites......classic “psychedelic” pop!
I'm a musician and I was born in 1953 so the 60's was the music of young teenage years. I saw the Beatles and I just had to have a guitar. I specialize in playing obscure 60's song at dances. People always sort of recognize them. In sort of alphabetical order he's from my currant set list. Bus Stop, Dock of the Bay, Sea Cruise, Into the Mystic, Things we said today, My Girl, I'm a Believer, Runaway, Sing in the sunshine, The Letter, Time won't let me, Whiter shade of pale, Bootleg, Crosstie walker, Bottle of Wine, The Bitter green, Oh Carol, You never can tell, Im a loser, On and on.
Never forgot these songs were amazing ❤❤❤❤
