The Ronnettes (as a kid, had a crush on all 3 of them)
Was uncertain which thread to put the documentary recommendation above since it was an interesting blend of 50s R+R (Gerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry...), 60s rock artists (Lennon, Clapton, Doors...), and, at that time relatively unknown 70s rock artists (Chicago, Alice Cooper).I don't think "The 60s" is a useful bracket.
I'd rather focus on categories like:
"Surf"
"British Invasion"
"R&B"
"Bubblegum"
"Folk Revival"
"Psychedelic"
"AOR"
etc.
Some of these stretch from the 50s or into the 70s.
Great song pic! It's all good but I gravitate to the Mick Taylor years (69-74). His style/tone brought a heavyness that I really like compared to other stones eras. I also thought he breathed new life into older songs in live shows.MY OPINION...Regarding Their Best... The Rolling Stones ("Paint It Black"). it's all down hill from there for them.
I saw that somewhere. They woke her up to bring her in to sing it in her nightgown and curlers in her hair. She blew the doors off that track.You know Merry Clayton was 20 and pregnant when she did that, at 2 in the morning or something. Yowza.
Yeah great movie.I saw that somewhere. They woke her up to bring her in to sing it in her nightgown and curlers in her hair. She blew the doors off that track.
I think it was in that 20 Feet from Stardom documentary about backing singers. Great movie.
Besides the Beatles, Cream is my other favorite band from the 60's - I love their stuff. Too bad those guys just couldn't get along.Oh yeah, and from 1968 - Cream "Wheels of Fire"...the whole album !
