After huge success with a CD of '50s songs, Barry Manilow next week will release an album of all-'60s songs.
So what meaningful, anti-establishment, psychedelic anthems did he choose to record???
"Cherish/Windy"
"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"
"Can't Help Falling In Love"
"There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World)"
"And I Love Her"
"Blue Velvet"
"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"
"This Guy's In Love With You"
"Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime"
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"
"When I Fall In Love"
"Strangers In The Night"
"What The World Needs Now Is Love"
ONE freaking Beatles song!!!!!!!

Yeah but, does the world really need to hear Barry Mannilow cover a Beatles song? I mean, isn't that a form of terrorism?

One of Manilow's band members is a travelling salesman who comes in here often. He plays really great guitar. Manilow is a good singer, but WHAT A WASTE.  |

Manilow is releasing this CD so he can tour with his new best friend, Rod Stewart. It'll be a real love in with those two geezers on stage together.

Hey! Don't be talkin' trash about my man, Rockin' Rod. There was a time, granted, it was a loooooooong time ago, but. There was a time when he and a little band called The Small Faces defined Rock and Roll.
For that, I cut him some slack, and just refuse to listen to anything he put out after, ummm, '72?

Not a bad sample of 60's tunes though. Amazing as it may be, other people were writing songs in the 60's beside the Beatles. Anyone else have more than one song on that list?

I agree with Roy.
The sixties started for me when Bob Dylan's song Like a Rollin Stone was played on pop radio.
I remember sitting on the beach in St Andrew by the Sea, New Brunswick on my very last trip with my parents and listening to it on my transister radio.
It was August 1, 1964 and it was my 16th birthday.

The 60s started when you were no longer a hero when you went to VN. 67  |

Cosmic, You obviously haven't heard any of the songs from Rod's new CD "Still the Same ... Great Rock Classics of Our Time" One thing's for sure, still the same is the wrong phrase to use when describing Rod Stewart's career.
Don't get me wrong. I think The Faces were one of the greatest rock & roll band ever, but Rod lost his "face" in music during the disco era and has never gotten it back in my book.

Shoot. I was kind of hoping he'd do a cover of Inna Gadda Da Vita".

That's a pretty good definition. I remember the first time I heard it. Wow. I'd thought that was about 1965 but what do I know.

I never met him but before he came out he was married to my father's cousin's daughter.. And on the other side, Cass Elliot (Ellen Cohen) was my mother's cousin's daughter. Her sister is one of the Coyotee Sisters (or was it the Coyotees?) (based in Northampton MA) and I don't know where her brother Joey is. Does this make me almost famous.......  |

I have to agree with the "Like a Rolling Stone" thing. Not sure when I first heard it, but I do remember hearing it on the way to a Herman's Hermits concert. The Yardbirds opened for them.
Lots of things changed after that. The music and life as we knew it was suddenly different.
