What songs from the 1960's are still on your playlist?

The 1960's boasts a vast array of music styles and genres throughout the decade. Many genres crossed and blurred lines, and new sub-genres or were created.

 

Throughout the 60's, we had a variety of pop, rock, Motown / R&B and soul. There were all of those tragedy songs, muscle car songs, and surf songs playing on the radio. Then came The Beatles and the British invasion. Folk music evolved into folk-rock, and Bob Dylan became one of the most influential songwriters of the decade and beyond. Folk music became a popular genre for the counterculture and protest songs (anti-war, civil rights). Folk-rock segued into psychedelic rock and songs of the drug culture. Elvis made a comeback in '68. Later in the decade, progressive rock began to merge various genres and styles, including classical music. And by the end of the decade, blues rock was moving to hard rock and heavy rock territory.

 

So much happened? What did I miss?

 

Here's an article that I found for a memory refresher.

So, what songs from the 1960's are still on your playlist today?

โ€œWhen the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.โ€ - Jimi Hendrix

I forgot how much I LOVED this song! The words ring true for so many of us at one time or another in our lifetime......

 

It hurts to be in love by Gene Pitney
"It hurts to be in love, when the only one you love

Turns out to be someone who's not in love with you

It hurts to love her so

When deep down inside you know

She will never want you, no matter what you do"....
