Well, after that strange interlude.......
we get into the fabulous and pivotal year 1966.
And first I'm going to post three or four songs by artists which are also connected to songs from a few years later; an excuse to pick up a few more from the late sixties, although some were probably actually written in 1966 or earlier.
Laura Nyro was a charming, exhuberant, exotic, quasi-gospel composer from 1966, who had a great hit record late that year called Wedding Bell Blues:
But this also gives me an excuse to post a couple more songs by the Fifth Dimension group. They also did a version of Wedding Bell Blues, which was a bigger hit in 1969; #1 I think. But that's not one of my picks. Instead, I like these two other Laura Nyro songs they did-- as you can hear in my next post!
