Still gives me tingles. And not many songs do.

"Maybe I Know" has always been my favorite.
"My Town, My Guy And Me" has a certain something, too.

"Maybe I Know" has always been my favorite. "My Town, My Guy And Me" has a certain something, too. Preach. There's something really gripping about the best "Girl Group Sounds of the 1960s" - you see the relevant Spector artists or the Shangri-Las rightly described as masters of a certain tightly wound, compelling, emotional drama...and, yeah, I'd add to that any number of lesser celebrated artists (Gore, DeShannon, 2 of Clubs, quite a few one [or no] hit wonders) of the era...it's a specific type of intense urgency that also occasionally drifts into that "pre-psych psychedelia" magic.

I really like this notion. Even more I like that I see the name of Jackie de Shannon, with an astonishing run of fine singles through the early 1960s, not just the hits - must get around to starting a thread about her

I posted about the T.A.M.I. Show earlier today, and Lesley Gore rose to the occasion with her set, coming out with this strong vocal.

I know folks in the UK make fun of her because she became such a ubiquitous TV presence, but early Lulu had that same vocal charisma, vs. Petula Clarke, for example. Lulu at Atlantic Studios is a great glimpse of what she could've become, although I think she was still pretty good early on.
