the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

Back into 1964, one of the great breakthrough years; the beginning of the 2T. Enormous youthful creative energy powered by the British invasion, plus Motown, surf sound, girl pop, still-strong older 1T pop, emerging folk-rock and folk, even a huge jazz/broadway hit, and more; a convergence year of pop cultures. Let's start with one from the end of the year that has become one of the most-played and loved standards in history; #1 for weeks and weeks and weeks in late 1964- early 1965; only a runner up on my list, but I can't ignore it. Phil Spector (with a little help from Sonny & Cher too) gets a lot of the credit, and he's not a very nice guy, but he helped make pop music beautiful in these years with his expert arrangements, musical and voice teams, and production. To a large extent, we've lost that, I think; just as "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"
