Those singers are Darlene Love, Jean King, and Fanita James - The Blossoms; may very well be the best back-up singers of all time. Beautiful. They backed up many singers in the '60's including many Johnny Rivers, Elvis, and Tom Jones. Darlene Love her own big hits as well some produced by Phil Spector.

Any Beatles song from their early albums. This is an eclectic group but the 60s had many styles from pop to harder rock as the decade progressed.

Johnny Rivers was an artist my older brother introduced me to in my single digit years in the mid 60's. Rivers is 78 now. The album he had (I still have it!) was 'Johnny Rivers Changes'. I didn't know it until years later, but the 'Changes' part of it was that he was a regular at 'The Whiskey A-Go-Go' on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA. singing, what was considered at the time pure hard rock & roll. It was considered antithetical to the 'squares' of the previous generation born in the 40's & 50's. When he did this 'Changes' album, he covered a dozen or so romantic ballads and 'love songs' like 'Poor Side of Town' (he wrote this song), 'Baby I Need Your Lovin', 'Tracks of my Tears', 'By the Time I get to Phoenix', 'Summer Rain' and, one of my favorites, 'California Dreamin'. He has a unique voice and vocal technique for sure. BTW... Rivers recorded the title song for the late night concert-influenced TV show 'The Midnight Special'. :)

Also, have you reacted to GLEN CAMPBELL yet? With memorable hits such as: WICHITA LINEMAN, GALVESTON, BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX, DREAMS OF THE EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE, RHINESTONE COWBOY, and many more too! From the 1970's and early 80's, you probably will also like: BREAD (with lead singer DAVID GATES) with hits such as MAKE IT WITH YOU, EVERYTHING I OWN, IF (yes, it's a short title, isn't it?), BABY IM-A WANT YOU, DIARY, AUBREY, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME, LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, and more! You'd also like almost any song by the artist LOBO, or the group AMERICA, or even THREE DOG NIGHT! And Rob, I know that BARRY GIBB is your man! But don't forget to check out more BARRY MANILOW, because you've already reacted to his song MANDY. Well, he's got a LOT of other great songs too! For something more uptempo from BARRY MANILOW, please check out his popular hit COPA CABANA, or the much less remembered song NEW YORK CITY RHYTHM... It will surprise you Rob! And Rob, there's another "Barry" that you might learn to appreciate as well: BARRY WHITE! Check him out, dude! Again, Rob and Amber, thank you so much for taking the time, and making the effort to listen to all these timeless OLD SCHOOL hits!
