While My Guitar Gently Weeps, by the Fab Four. Very nice!



This is from 1962:

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day



San Francisco - The version that I have is by Sinatra
They don't make 'em like that any more!

Some Brit Seventies that charted well both sides of the pond -


I said “Hey, what is this? Now baby, maybe,
Maybe she's in need of a kiss.”


That's All Right Now, by Free. I like it!



I thought this was a pretty one in '86/'87 (#3 US, #1 UK, Wiki says #1 in 25 countries/markets worldwide):

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright

Chris de Burgh - Lady in Red?

Sixties

They try to keep us far apart, there's only one thing left we can do

But I'm like the Northwest Mounties

The song is Searchin'
Ahhh memories The Hollies used to perform that to close their set.
The Beatles recorded it very early on.
I do recall hearing an even earlier Us version - one of those great pre-Motown label bands - Maybe Drifters/Coasters/Platters - not sure which. Thinking about it - not Platters - so Drifters or Coasters

Wow - that was a tough one. Been thinking it over for the last hour and came to me halfway through dinner!
Good choice.

Some Sixties coming atcha -

Like a poem poorly written, we are verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme



Oops. Tony wins, so I'll guess his.

That's Dangling Converstion, by Si and Gar.



From 1970:

What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstores sell
