Hard-rocking number by Blue Cheer, "Summertime Blues," from a November 1968 appearance on the Beat Club television program. Blue Cheer consisted originally of Leigh Stephens (later replaced by Randy Holden), Richard Peterson and Paul Whaley, all from Boston, Massachusetts.

Formed in Boston in 1967, they built up a loyal following in the local clubs before being signed in 1968 by the Philips label (a subsidiary of Mercury. "Summertime Blues" became a big hit for them; it was actually a remake of an old Eddie Cochran song.

1960s Gold Barbara Lynn Whatd I Say
Rate: 5 170 views
This is a rare clip of Barbara Lynn, soul singer from the 1960s, showing she could also play a mean guitar. The song, "What'd I Say," was made famous by Ray Charles. I think Lynn does a great job with it; I love the sax being played by one of her back-up musicians here (why does modern rock have so little saxophone in it?). Barbara Lynn was born as Barbara Lynn Ozone in 1942 in Beaumont, Texas. She had her first big hit in 1962 with "You'll Lose A Good Thing" on Jamie records.

1960s Gold Marvin Gaye Tammi Terrell Aint No Mount
Rate: 6.33333 232 views
See and hear the chemistry between these two. Great clip of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell singing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." This was a huge hit for the duo in 1967, on Tamla records. Interesting facts: Marvin Gaye began singing in his father's choir as a child. Later, after graduating from high school in Washington, DC, he went into the Air Force; after discharge he began a commercial singing career, including being a member of The Moonglows in the early sixties. Throughout the 1960s he had many hits as a solo artist and as a singer in duets with such performers as Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells and Kim Weston.

1960s Gold Cilla Black Youre My World
Rate: 7.75 272 views
Cilla Black performing her huge 1964 hit, "You're My World." Black grew up in the same part of Liverpool, England, as The Beatles and several of the other groups from that led the British Invasion of the mid-1960s. She was born in 1943 as Priscilla White. In 1962 she took a part-time job at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, at the same time that a group was appearing there called Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, whose leader was the drummer Ringo Starr. One night the group invited her onstage to help sing "Fever;" the response from the audience was wildly enthusiastic. She began singing occasionally with other groups appearing at the Cavern, and became known as Cilla Black when a local newspaper printed her name incorrectly in an article. Eventually she came to the attention of Brian Epstein, who managed The Beatles. Epstein began managing her as well, securing a contract for her with Parlophone. She had her first hit with "Love Of The Loved" in 1963 and a number-one hit shortly afterward with "Anyone Who Had A Heart." "You're My World" in 1964 became her first hit in both England and the United States.

1960s Gold Cilla Black Surround Yourself With Sorr
Rate: 5.5 230 views
Cilla Black singing "Surround Yourself With Sorrow" on the Top of The Pops show in 1969. This is real 1960s' gold -- dig the miniskirt! But Black is a great artist who first showed her talent in the 1960s, thanks in large part to her friendship with and encouragement by The Beatles. In fact, she grew up in the same neighborhood as The Beatles and several of the other groups from Liverpool that led the British Invasion of the mid-1960s. She was born in 1943 as Priscilla White. In 1962 she took a part-time job at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, at the same time that a group was appearing there called Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, whose leader was the drummer Ringo Starr. One night the group invited her onstage to help sing "Fever;" the response from the audience was wildly enthusiastic.

1960s Gold Janis Joplin Maybe Germany
Rate: 10 159 views
Janis Joplin performs the great Etta James tune, "Maybe," in her only concert held in Germany, in 1969. This is one of my favorite songs, whether performed by Janis or Etta. Just a great soul-wrenching R&B number!

1960s Gold Janis Joplin Monterey Pop 1967
Rate: 0 159 views
This video is from a documentary called "Nine Hundred Nights." The clip here is about Janis Joplin and her first band, Big Brother And The Holding Company, in the context of the 1967 Montery Pop Festival, which catapulted them to fame outside San Francisco where they had already established a loyal following. The song heard here is "Combination Of The Two." It was not included in the famous Pennebaker concert film, "Monterey Pop," which instead uses Joplin singing "Ball and Chain" at the event. Also seen and heard here are interviews with surviving band members Sam Andrews, David Getz and Peter Albin discussing their experiences at Monterey during that landmark year.

Janis Joplin being interviewed by Dick Cavett after performing a song on Cavett's TV show. There are several funny moments in this interview. Most memorable, though, is her line about her high school days in Port Arthur, Texas: "They laughed me out of class, out of town and out of the state."
