This week's lost 60s classic goes back to the survey issued September 11, 1961, week ending September 17, 1961. His original recording with the Buffalo Bearcats was a #1 R & B hit for 3 weeks in 1948. The remake debuted at #100 on this week, and the following week peaked at #98. One of my dad's favorites. I Love You Yes I Do - Bull Moose Jacksonwww.youtube.com/watch?v=T2ScpWrs06kBy the way, this was not typical of Bull Moose Jackson's recordings. His style was usually somewhat risque R & B with hits like "I Want A Bowlegged Woman" and "Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me". Then there was this one that caught the interest of Steven Tyler and the boys... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rws_7mLTqj8Now that's going WAY back! Your dad has good taste in music. The Aerosmith version of the other song makes me chuckle for more than one reason. My art class instructor in high school encouraged students to bring in their favorite records to play in the background while we painted in class to help get our creative juices flowing. Someone brought in "Toys In The Attic", and the instructor did not take too kindly to this song. Aerosmith was banned from class from that point forward.

For this week's Lost 60s Classic, this one debuted September 4, 1965. After being fired as the Beach Boys manager, Murry Wilson (Brian, Dennis, and Carl's father) recruited another band. Success eluded them, but they did chart on the Hot 100 three times including this great Beach Boys soundalike. I Live For The Sun - Sunrayswww.youtube.com/watch?v=Yus7IvioR_AThis song and "Andrea" were wonderful discoveries years after their chart runs (was too young at the time of their original release). Amazing how many groups attempted to emulate the Beach Boys sound.

Interesting to hear the original.

I normally don't like bumping but this is warranted because of spam

Going to the September 21, 1968 Billboard Hot 100 for this summer tribute. The song had a three week chart run in June, 1968 (91-91-91). It re-entered the Hot 100 on 9/21/68, charting an additional 3 weeks (93-93-91). This one is an essential "lost classic".

I've always thought if you combine the beach sound (Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, etc.) and The Four Seasons you would get The Sunrays!

My choice is a double-sided single from 9/20/1969, yet one side only made it to #82 while the flip came in at #109. Good Clean Fun/Mommy And Daddy At this point the Monkees were a trio (without Peter Tork), yet were still releasing quality material. But when (IMHO) their greatest two-sided single from earlier in the year, "Listen To The Band/Someday Man" failed to reach the Top 40, you knew radio was done with this group. A real shame. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCTdw33asdI

Joey Levine would soon be a major force in the Buddah Records bubble-gum era, writing, producing, and singing hits like "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" and "Quick Joey Small (Run Joey Run)". In the 70's his vocals fronted the studio group Reunion and the Top 10 "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)" However, the career that has lasted him a lifetime has been writing and singing commercial jingles. Who doesn't remember the Almond Joy/Mounds commercial "Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut", or "Who's That Kid With The Oreo Cookie?", or "This Bud's For You"? Prior to his success, he was with another studio group who sang this pop-social commentary "lost classic" from the September 30, 1967 Hot 100.

For this 60s lost classic, we go to the dawn of the decade. Known as "The Clown Princes Of Rock And Roll", this group racked up six top ten singles in the fifties including the #1 "Yakety Yak". They debuted at #99 on the October 3, 1960 charts with a song that would have a 4 week chart run peaking at #83. A song I was too young to know about back then, but I was hooked the first time it heard it. Pure herringbone! Shoppin' For Clothes - Coasterswww.youtube.com/watch?v=XetJMlt3-l4

I'm going back to Oct. 7, 1961, for this one, and it's by a duo that would become famous – and in some cases, infamous – in the world of soul and R&B. They started working together in 1957, and by 1961 were married. They'd have a number of hits through the 1960s and 1970s, including "Proud Mary" (a No. 4 hit in 1971) and "Nutbush City Limits," a top 20 hit in 1973. Of course, over the years there were those allegations of spousal abuse, levied by the wife half who broke away in 1976 and finally had a huge string of hits in the 1980s. Her biggest hit was 1984's "What's Love Got to Do With It," a No. 1 smash, and then she'd really hit her stride.
For now, this husband-and-wife duo were great together and released this No. 14 hit that spoke of optimism. It was on its way downt he chart, having fallen out of the top 40 this week. It's ...

Going to the October 11, 1969 charts for this lost classic. Specifically, we're heading to Flint, Michigan to hear one from the band that in their early days audiences loved but critics hated. I side with the audiences. Time Machine - Grand Funk Railroadwww.youtube.com/watch?v=ATe7meFOrPE

We go to the October 19, 1963 charts for this 60s lost classic. She's a member of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and deserves induction on the merit of the greatest rock & roll Christmas song alone IMO. David Letterman has my back on that one. For you film buffs, she was also Danny Glover's wife in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise. This fine, fine song debuted at #90 during this week and unfortunately only peaked at #53.

Offering a lost classic from the 10/19/68 Billboard hot 100 chart, which failed to crack the top 40. It's my favorite song from the following British group, which has successfully spanned several decades: "Ride My See-Saw" - Moody Blues Regrettably, this and other similar you-tube videos are unable to be opened for replay on a mobile device.

Hope you've enjoyed the 60s posts so far! Got rid of the duplicate; sorry about that!
