- Their first hit: a cover of the Mamas and the Papas! youtu.be/pjQp4OBWBBg?...

- #MusicChallenge #NewMusicChallenge #StrictlyInstrumental Day 5: "Made In England" - Bob Ashley & The Reflections (1963) Actually in Winnipeg. Written by Randy Bachman, it's the B-side to their 1st single "Inside Out," from the band who actually became the Guess Who. youtu.be/wzpr_A4ndvI?...
- #MusicChallenge #NewMusicChallenge #StrictlyInstrumental Day 4: "Dance With The Devil" - Cozy Powell (#3 UK, #48 RPM, #49 US) Based on "Third Stone from the Sun" by Hendrix. That's Suzi Quatro on bass... youtu.be/OsEQ2fotLow?...

- #musicchallenge #DavidsMonthOfMusic Day 4: A song you play when you're angry I can't listen to music when I'm angry! It's not fair to the music! But if I must choose... "Out Of Time" - Chris Farlowe (#1 UK, #24 RPM, #122 US, #11 NL 1966) Sounds like revenge, I guess. youtu.be/g8-0KEBTLng?...

- #MusicChallenge #OrchestralManoeuvres Day 4: "There Goes My Baby" - The Drifters (#2 US, #1 R&B, #12 CHUM 1959) A groundbreaker. Phil Spector was taking notes for sure. youtu.be/0oS2De8O8D0?...

- #MusicChallenge #NewMusicChallenge #FebruaryIsForLoversNot 💔 Day 4: "It Don't Matter To Me" - Bread (#10 US, #6 RPM 1970) The saddest shoulder shrug ever. youtu.be/YeIGjYFPG4o?...
