What were you listening to suspended between childhood and somewhere alleged to be “grown-up.”
Mine covered June 1964 (when I left school) to June 1965. I lived most of my life that year in the art department of Stevenage College. The rest mostly in my room, alone or with friends. No lady in my life at the beginning of the year (Oh but did I wish... !) The first arrived at the end, and we proceeded to break each others hearts in double quick time. Then there were the parties and Mondays “dahn the Mecca.” Different music for different occasions, grouped accordingly but with some over-lap of course.
Dance till you drop:
I Can't Help Myself — The Four Tops
Mockingbird — Inez and Charlie Foxx
The Midnight Hour — Wilson Pickett
1:00am Project to finish. Can’t stop now:
Al Capone — Prince Buster
Give Him a Great Big Kiss — The Shangri-Las
The Sins of a Family — P.F. Sloan
Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere — The Who
“He’s asleep on the floor... Anyone got a ciggie?”
Bob Dylan's Dream — Bob Dylan
Running From Home — Bert Jansch
Mona — Bo Diddley
Jackson Blues — Sonny Boy Williamson
