"A Taste of Honey" was from the play of the same name; you may be thinking of "Till There was You," which was from "The Music Man." Sandy Warner was the girl who appeared on Martin Denny's album covers; you may want to do an item on her. The popularity of movie and Broadway musical soundtracks in those days indicates the extent to which adults were still the main purchasers of albums.

At The River’s Edge is a song I have on my Pro-to Punk Rock playlist it was also featured on the Rhino Nuggets Boxset great song!

I noticed your copy of Breakthrough was on Eva. I'd recommend you try to get the Sundazed reissue. Eva has a reputation for poor sources (i.e. needledrops).

"treat her groovy, take her to a movie... " seriously? The Turtles had that as a lyric but treated it as a joke.

Rolling Stone is a joke ... Their 'lists' are ridiculous ...

My Dad bought this album in 1965. My Mom asked who was the cover girl and he said maybe its Herb's GF or wife...I have used this recording in my listening tests as an audio engineer and even today it is a file on my digital streamer. Herb Alpert is a legend and still a powerhouse in his 80s today.

Oh by the way, the drummer vocalist that was in Crystal siphon, was the master or one of the master recording engineers on Stevie wonder's key of Life album

Hey Matt, just stumbled across your UA-cam channel couple weeks ago, and actually really enjoy what you're doing. Lot of history, my brother Tom, was in a band called Crystal siphon, they played the Fillmore several times. Opened up for Carlos Santana, Elvin Bishop Big brother and holding company , grateful Dead, many others, sadly he passed away 2 years ago, and I have inherited all his early posters. And am in the process of having them all professionally framed, the artwork is pretty spectacular, anyway. They do have a couple albums on the UA-cam channel under the crystal Syphon name, don't know if you'd be interested, but there's a lot of correlation with the groups out of the Bay area at that time such as country. Joe, Quicksilver Messenger service, couple those guys were actually from the Central Valley. Valley, Gary Duncan and the drummer, I believe Sonny Bono may have even participated in helping produce some of my brother's music, anyway, seems like you got a really good collection on '60s music and if you so choose, maybe check my brother's band out, in the meantime, I'm going to keep watching your stuff man. I really really enjoy it, thanks, matt

I gotta give credit to this guy-he certainly does his research....👍

When Scopes Collide from 1976 is a more relevant Kaleidoscope album than Bernice. Greetings from Kartoonistan too.

I bought Let It Be on VHS when a rental store was clearing out old tapes. I only watched it once--way to depressing for a serious fan. Too soon, I think. One aspect that got me down was that I was in a band at the time and their rehearsals were almost as bad as OURS! I didn't want them to seem human--they were super-human to me.

I loved the song “A taste of honey” as a kid.

rock n roll hall of shame now its all about who they think if entered to the hall will draw fans so real rockers are left out. ny dolls guess who (canadian will never happen as well as BTO) free , Los Lobos ( the are in austin city limits ha;; of fame) Wilco , dead Kennedy's, , steve earle, Devo and so many more , now hip hop and other non rock genres are put in . I would never visit them.

I just watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I honestly don't understand the narrative that I always heard about about how the movie is depressing, how everyone looks out if it, and Paul acts like a jerk. None of that. Hell there's barely even any dialogue in the film. It's like 95% songs and 5% dialogue unlike Get Back which is more balanced with I'd say soemthing like 65% songs and 35% dialogue or something like that. I feel like people probably let the context and knowledge from outside the film itself dictate their thoughts on the movie. When in reality it's the Beatles happily rehearsing songs, singing, dancing and laughing. Literally like a compressed version of Get Back. The one thing I did find interesting/weird is that there was A LOT of Paul. It basically was The Paul McCartney show featuring The Beatles. But he wasn't being a jerk. NO clue why people think that and that the Get Back documentary "redeems him" when there was nothing to redeem in the first place lol.

The songs on Let it Be are better crafted than most of Abbey Road, the best songs on Abbey Road were written by George

They sound like a cross between The Cowsills and The Association

One of those bands I've seen regularly flash by while browsing through the vinyls at the local record store. I'm definitely gonna pick one up next time I'll find them after this episode!

John Barbata RIP 5/8/24

Lol, I came up in the 60s and never heard of this band! Great channel, though, no question. Matt, I can't see where you've done anything yet for one of my favorite semi-obscure groups, Moby Grape. A lot of history, between crooked manager, mental illness, label mismanagement, along with crackerjack songwriting among an intensely talented cadre who just wanted to have fun.

Double breasted suits and Nehru jackets :)

Never heard of this band. Thanks for enlightening us! Request: The Lemon Fog

I'd never heard of the New Colony Six until just now. But back then radio and music groups were more regionally-based, so there are many hidden gems that remain to be rediscovered. I do remember "Where the Action Is" that featured Paul Revere and the Raiders and secretly aspired to appear on a Teenage Dance Show despite the de facto racial segregation of its audience composition. As such, by the late 1960s, I heavily identified with the gritty sound of the Northern Black Diaspora featured by Chess Records. Imagine an alternate past wherein the New Colony Six recorded at Chess Studios like the Rolling Stones did in 1964 and thereby kept pace with the "heavier" R&B sound of their contemporaries. Imagine if the New Colony Six had recorded at Vee-Jay also based in Chicago: Today, we would be speaking of that group with reverence along with the other great solo artists and groups that came out of Chitown. The Impressions (Curtis Mayfield) anyone? Great job, Matt.😇

Stepponwolf, Johnny Rivers. . . Hey Matt, any videos on these bands?

Really great. job of presenting music history!

⁠We are truly blessed to be able to see our local “heroes of the airwaves”. Ray Graffia Jr. has so many great stories to share when you see him perform….from their early pre-fame days, playing in his basement, with his father upstairs, hearing the incredible talent of Ray and his bandmates, which ultimately led to his dad finally deciding to form a record company, to eventually touring with The Beach Boys, opening for the Monkees, and becoming an indelible part of Rock & Roll history.

They sound like a US version of The Zombies

I'd love to see you do shows on mommas &poppas, tommy james & shondells,janis Joplin & jimi hendrix

Just discovered your channel few days ago flashed back through some of your videos saw the one where you are walking in the park saying your wife has/had medical issues…from me to you how is she…I like the personal touch involving your listeners/viewers of your channel and I like your casual style reviewing these band/groups: Sydney Australia:

Matt, I'm hoping that if and when you get around to the Cryan Shames, you can get an interview with their chief songwriter, Jim Fairs. I know he was on Facebook some years back...major talent.

The other thing that helped Midwestern bands was 'teen clubs'. The Cellar had local bands and even English acts like The Who. There were bands like Baby Huey and Cat Mother who never made much noise or money from records but played the teen clubs regularly.

An excellent band that you mentioned in your review of Rhino’s releases was The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who put out three albums between 1967 and 1969. With only three albums to their credit, their history may be too short to make into one of your segments, but they were pretty darn good. The band evolved from a Folk group called The Ashes, and their first album features “It’s A Happening Thing”, “Dark On You Now”, “Twice Is Life”, and “The Most Up Till Now”, among other songs; but their 1968 follow-up album “The Great Conspiracy” is in my opinion one of the very best albums of the 1960s, with cuts such as “Lonely Leaf”, “Too Many Do”, Living, Loving, Life”, “Living Dream”, and “Ecstasy”. They were produced by Gary Usher, and they had help in the studio by members of The Wrecking Crew, in particular, Glen Campbell. Their lead singer, Barbara Jeane Moyer (who went by the stage-name of Sandi Robison and Sandi Peanutbutter) had a great voice that was easily on par with the best female vocalists of the time. Like many of the other Folk-influenced bands of the period, they had great harmonies and a sound that combined elements of Folk and Psychedelia. They were a great LA-based band that had “the San Francisco Sound”. Anyway - a killer band that remains overlooked, but their first two albums are available on CD on the Collectables label - absolutely worth checking out! I have their songs on my iTunes playlist right alongside Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, and The Association.

Interesting group I've never heard of but one of their songs does sound familiar? You did a series on the Small Faces some time back: I was wondering if you were going to continue that series with one on Rod Stewart and Faces, from like 69 to 75?

Nice piece on the band. I have at least three of those records. I shall revisit them.

Nice piece; thank you!

They missed REX CARROLL of WHITECROSS and BRIAN BELEW of BARNABAS

Matt doing a labor of love, so well done, great graphics and band history work. Professional stuff for YT. Love to see more.

Later in 1992, Some Good Years , just a great tune…being from Connecticut and being in radio in Hartford, Connecticut, some of us considered then a pretty much a local group..We Can Fly had some great harmonies…Poor Baby also..a Beach Boys feel on that one for sure..Bud Cowsill screwed up that group just like Maury Wilson did with the Beach Boys..man those Daddy’s..Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5’s Dad also..crazy stuff? 🤔

I was in radio for 30 years..The Association was one of my favorite groups of all time, I bought their first 2 lps..I was 16..l played bass guitar in our group in the late 60s in Connecticut..covered Along Comes Mary..I will say that some of their great work later in their career didn’t behave the Top 40 songs that would of made any airplay..great LP cuts for FM radio at that time that were playing album cuts on the air..they were terrific tho..No Fair At All was one of their best..just didn’t get the airplay it well deserved..

Looks like they were still performing as of 2016 - 2017. There is a couple of youtube videos.

Just noticed your youtube page! A couple more tidbits for you (however true they might be) Arthur and Jimi recorded a whole album of music, but it was never released. Who knows? Also, I was looking through a CD catalog years ago, and there was mention of Arthur recording an album of music for another label, just before the Blue Thumb deal. Speaking of Blue Thumb, if you take the best tracks of Four Sail, and Out Here, it would have been a pretty good double album, but Elektra was given first choice of one album of music. At this point, Out Here should have become one album, but Arthur, undeterred, made it a double anyway. Like you said, you ask 5 people what happened, you'll probably get 5 different stories.

The first two Ringo cover albums are incredible. ESPECIALLY Sentimental Journey, as a jazz guy it absolutely knocks it out of the park. Totally nails that authentic old-school jazz legacy.

Supremely interesting segment and I couldn’t be happier that Paul is offering up such a large catalogue of these deep dive gems.

Dave Tipper.

I've hung with May, along with our mutual good friend who just passed late last year. She's a very sweet person...

Matt did you every hear of a band called Sunblind Lion.They had I believe 4 albums they were from Wisconsin

Watched it the other day. Forever fascinating. Hadn't seen it in about 35 years, yet I remembered just about everything in it. This is from the same man who went to put the milk in the dishwasher the other day.

A wonderful video.

I never heard of this band It’s funny those double button shirts remind me of the Monkees Their music sounds of it’s time but it doesn’t sound very original Great video Matt

6:32 Maybe I'm hearing this wrong, but... Just because George is talking to John when he leaves doesn't necessarily mean he had an argument with John. John was just the last person George talked to.

Born in 58, I was just old enough to enjoy the birth and remaining years of the best era in music history (IMO) and really enjoyed this installment.
