The Seekers, Georgy Girl. Chart position: #5 The Australian group's first hit (1965) was I'll Never Find Another You.
Sonny and Cher, The Beat Goes On. Chart position: #6. Inane lyrics. "The teeny bopper is our new born king."
Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin. Charted at #7. Captures the Dionysian drive of R & R. Check out this 1983 version!
Cannonball Adderley, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. Chart position: #11
Lefte Bank, Pretty Ballerina. Chart position: #15. The year before, Walk Away Renee. How sweet the illusions and transports of romantic love that wash over the souls of the young and not-so-young.
Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth. Charted at #25. "Paranoia strikes deep!"
Mamas and Papas, Dedicated to the One I Love. Chart position: #57. Outstanding, but doesn't get the length of the Shirelles' original.

Beatles, Strawberry Fields Forever. Chart position: #83.
James Carr, The Dark End of the Street. Chart position: #98. Great song. Better known is Linda Ronstadt's version.
