Yes indeed. It took some time for it to make #1 on my own current fave list in 1965, and for Like a Rolling Stone to make it to my #2 underneath it. But meanwhile, I had already heard "Just You" in its early release, so I knew how talented and wonderful Sonny & Cher really were.
Meanwhile, this is the golden age of Motown we are moving backwards into now, so I'm going to mention a few more of their hits in coming posts. It took some time for "Stop! in the Name of Love" to make it to the top of my favorites list too, because of the way it starts; but once it gets going, it has a uniquely smooth and poignant feeling. It's often chosen these days as the best-loved and most famous Supremes song, but some years ago it was a different one that held that position; the one I like best from 1964, to be posted in a little while......
I saw this link on the video, to another person's choice of the best from the "golden decade 1965-1974," all in the mainstream pop realm. Some choices in common, naturally.
