All Wilson had to do was show up. And show up he did. The song was first offered to The Dells, but was never released. Wilson came in, and originally sang the tune as a ballad. The song blends a traditional rock ballad with orchestral strings and a propulsive timpani that blends symphonic percussion with the soundtracks of Wild West films. Alongside engineer John Sayers, Meldrum pioneered too many recording techniques to list here, but among the most monumental were flanging, in which two identical copies of the recording were played together but slightly out-of-phase with each other, and instrumental dropouts, which would become wildly popular with Jamaican dub artists in the 70s.
Cohen ripped the poem for a second use because he was short of material for his forthcoming album. The song played off the intimacy of American folk stars like Bob Dylan and Stephen Stills, but with a Canadian twang and a delicacy that vibrates off of his plucked guitar notes.
Armstrong, suffering from a heart condition, pleaded for his audience to find the simple pleasures in life, and celebrate them with him one last time. Rumor has it the guitar player responsible for the squealing solo is Jimmy Page. What is confirmed is the keyboard player. A little-known, struggling musician named Reginald Dwight, who would go on to sing a few No. In that respect, he was an innovator, bringing life to the lifeless suburbs in a cry for help — or, at least, a helicopter back to the city.
That was actually a result of his disenchantment with the recording process — one of the happiest accidents in pop music history. Back in , Charles Westover and keyboard player Max Crook earned a recording contract.
The recording contract ended disastrously. Perhaps it was another tale of small-town kids intimidated by the Big Apple, but Crook and Westover who had recently taken on the stage name Del Shannon failed to impress the bosses over at Big Top Records. The song takes a frank look at death, with Peggy Lee unafraid of what she sees, though unwilling to give up all the fun and parties for eternal mystery.
The composition was initially pegged for a relatively unknown prison film, Unchained , before the Righteous Brothers plucked the tune from obscurity for their album Just Once In My Life in the 60s. The song exists in two parts, with the first moving along gently, like a rowboat gently gliding across a pond. But about halfway through, the skies open up and the song explodes as the drums come in with a thunderous crash cymbal and singer Bobby Hatfield grows stronger in his delivery. Since then, the record has been set straight, and Medley has earned his rightful due.
The composition is integrally tied to the show, but its iconic melody exists in its own sphere of pop culture. The sketch of the theme was written by Australian composer Ron Grainer and taken to the Radiophonic Workshop to be reimagined by Delia Derbyshire, who worked with sound engineer Dick Mills on the final version. The instrumental parts were created by splicing, slowing down, and speeding up white noise, a single plucked string, and simple harmonic waveforms of test-tone oscillators which were used for calibrating equipment and rooms.
With the theme, Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop not only changed the history of television, but laid the groundwork for experimental electronic composers in the s and s. Sly had an ability to capture the 60s in song better than most, building off the free love movement to create a sound inclusive and groovy, delightfully engaged with the popular sounds of the era.
Is it in the first second, when the clean, guitar chords slowly wrap around the silence? Or how about in second two, when the warm swell of the strings come in? For casual fans, it may be all the way into the third second that they recognize the track, thanks to the hollow and rich drums that sound like the group decided to record a water-logged timpani.
The British-born aficionado of blue-eyed soul was recording her Atlantic debut in Memphis with Jerry Wexler. Wexler liked the track, and took it for Springfield. The afrobeat sensation signified a turning point in Guinean culture, with the band infusing their songs with political messages. Easy enough, right?
It bombed, and Elvis re-recorded it with producer Chips Moman. It promptly went 1. The golden age of Ethiopian jazz occurred in the s and s, with Astatke at the forefront of the scene. It originally appeared as a musical break while results were pouring in for a election referendum in France. She went back to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she had changed her mind. Recorded by legendary drummer Hal Blaine and members of the world-famous Wrecking Crew, the song was practically an extended arm of the counterculture hippie movement, an infectiously catchy ode to the comfort of true love.
Each phrase may be repeated an unspecified number of times by each musician in the ensemble, and each musician has control over which phrase they play. Players are encouraged to play the phrases starting at different times. This is, in theory, a practice in chaos, but when executed correctly, it becomes a wonderful, sprawling, ever-evolving body of work. So why is it in this list of the best songs of the 60s? The music for Peanuts was composed and recorded by Vince Guaraldi, a Bay Area-based jazz pianist, and his ensembles.
After a stint in the Army as a cook during the Korean War, Guaraldi returned to the Bay Area where he began playing in groups heavily influenced by Latin styles like bossa nova. He quickly gained fame in New York throughout the s for his playing, leading to regular gigs across the city with Latin musicians but also some jazz greats like Charlie Parker , Dizzy Gillespie, and more.
The title of this classic 60s Latin song refers to the large Watusi tribesmen of Rwanda , who feature prominently in the nonsensical lyrics. Remarkably, every single version listed above charted either in the United States or overseas. Her voice runs just a bit ahead of the backing choir, producing the image of a sprinter creating distance from the rest of the pack. Hers is one of the iconic sets of pipes in soul music history, powerful yet mightily precise. According to legend, Norman finished writing the words just moments before Thomas entered the studio.
That melody is mostly propelled in the early going by Joe Zawinul. The Wurlitzer he used on the track was once owned by none other than Ray Charles. The song became a crossover hit when The Buckinghams recorded it in , though the original, with the audience spurred on by an open bar, conjures a special type of magic.
