Being among the younger posters here, I though I'd start a thread for the
old fogeys... ;-)

If there was one song, one single song that would epitomize the 60s, which
one would it be?

I think for me it would have to be the Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows ("the
song that ushered in the 60s" according to Tony Fletcher).


Yo Schiz,

This isn't really an answer to your question but to me at least personally,
my "earliest" recollection of songs that had the greatest emotional affect
to me were these songs below which I'm quite positive I heard around
the late, late '60s (1969?) when I was a toddler.


Dominique by those three Singing Nuns
Constantly by Clif Richard
Thank You Girl by The Beatles
I'll Get You by The Beatles
I should Have Known Better by The Beatles

These are really lovely songs listening to them now that I'm older, but
when I try to bear in mind the earliest moments I first heard them, I remember
being so terrified -- 'cause I didn't know what they were saying or talking
about
yet they were shouting (The beatles) or pleading (C. Richard) and crying (so
it
seems to me) with the singing nuns. Well, that's how I interpreted it then.
But what I really think attracted me to this songs which made them exceptional
for me through these years is their rather simple and tuneful melodies. Btw,
some of the songs above came out in the early 60s.

So when I listen to any one of this songs I can recall back the time
when I was crawling on the floor and looking up at everyone in the house
cooking... etc...etc.


So I guess the question is, what was the earliest song or songs you heard
that had a certain emotional affect to you.....
