Melina Mercouri, Never on Sunday
Mamas and Papas, Monday, Monday
Marianne Faithfull, Ruby Tuesday. Moodier than the Stones' original. She does a great version of Dylan's Visions of Johanna. But nothing touches the original. It moves me as much as it did back in '66. YouTuber comment: "An early morning cup of coffee, smoking a fattie, listening to this insane genius . . . does it get any better? And if so, how?"
Simon and Garfunkel, Wednesday Morning 3 AM
Donovan, Jersey Thursday
Easybeats, Friday on My Mind
Sam Cooke, Another Saturday Night
Saturday night is many a Fool's Paradise. Take a lesson, muchachos.
Tom Waits, The Ghosts of Saturday Night. One of the best by this latter-day quasi-Kerouac.
Bonus cut: Jerry Lee Lewis, Lonely Weekend
