Mostly 1960's pop music. High quality clip only, audio-wise. Love fine drummers, especially Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner, Earl Palmer, Dino Danelli, B. J. Wilson and so on.

I saw Tony Hicks in Henley-on-Thames a few months back. He noticed that i recognised him, and said hello before i summoned up the courage to say something. In the end i just nodded back and left him to get on with shopping or whatever he was up to. Top musician and song writer, but mostly a top human being.
I love this song. Amazing!! Felix wrote this and I believe he sang main vocals. So ahead of its time. So mystical. Definitely need headphones for 2:06!... ❤❤❤❤
It is SOOOOO funny that Mitch Ryder said, "Good Golly Mrs. Molly," at 1:47, instead of saying, "Good Golly Miss Molly." Mrs. Molly is DOWN RIGHT HILARIOUS.
I have had this album since it was first released back in 68 and while some music from that era has dated, to me this one has not and I regard it as a masterpiece.
FWIW... Johnny Rivers essentially "discovered" Jimmy Webb. While Johnny never had a hit with a Webb title, he was $mart enough to $et up the publi$hing company $upplying excellent material for ma$$ive chart topper$ like "Up Up And Away", "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", and "MacArthur Park".
"Un rayo de Esperanza" hermosa canción de uno de mis favoritos de los 60's. Y q hoy más q nunca pedirle al Creador q ilumine a todos y evitar las guerras, vengan de donde vengan, amigos del mundo.
