The Rock “n” Roll Years 1966
David and Jonathan – “Lovers of the World Unite”. Ah! A Duo Session from the Twins is just begging with this one. Perfect lyrics and harmonies for them and I have no doubt their cover would be sublime.

Mike d’Abo – Meeting with the Beatles (‘All My Loving’ and ‘Norwegian Wood’).
For those of you who may not know, Mike d’Abo replaced Paul Jones as lead singer of Manfred Mann when Paul left to start his solo career.

Is this the first Punk band? Formed in September 1963 in Sidcup, Kent, they took their name from Willie Dixon’s 1955 song “Pretty Thing”.

”SF Sorrow is without doubt a classic. Originally recorded at Abbey Road in 1967 it was the first and the most complete ‘Rock-Opera’ to be recorded and released, pre-dating The Who’s “Tommy” by a full year

So many club members not familiar with this beautiful song from Manfred Mann. Maybe you needed to be living in swinging London in the mid sixties. There were also early versions from Gene Pitney and the Everly Brothers.

Seeing that video Howard after being confined at home for weeks and all the social distancing, I really miss the hustle and bustle of downtown. Grabbing a Caramel Macchiato at a Starbucks and watching all the busy people walk by downtown just sounds about perfect right now! The ambiance of being around lots of people is appealing after being socially isolated. Funny what we take for granted.

Yep! Definitely a great sixties song from Petula. I’m sure that Mona and Lisa were born forty years too late. They would have fitted perfectly into sixties London. Not that they don’t fit into the roaring twenties 2.0 Liverpool just perfectly.
They always wished they were punk rockers with flowers in their hair! See if you can spot them in this video. I can definitely see them strolling down Carnaby street in their latest sixties clothes, popping into all those fashion stores. Maybe they’d own one. What would they call it. Well, “Bus Stop” of course!

Groovy… Yeah… Lol… Gotta Luv the 60s Vibes in the Austin Powers movies too….
Indeed M&L would definitely fit into that Era of London, no problem… I can visualize it…..
I have a Petula Clark, Best Hits type CD, her “Downtown” & ” Don’t Sleep In The Subway” are my 2 faves of hers… ☮️
