60s Music Remembered

For Loving Me - Peter, Paul & Mary
(Written by Gordon Lightfoot, 1964)

 

Harry Bellefonte wrote this song about the Caribbean Islands; I like these songs about far off places like Lemon Tree.

 

Well, yall got me up dancing, short acts and slower but still dancing.

 

I just listened to this, and it was an ok song. He kinda sounds like Roger Whittaker,

 

I had the album of these two. Hubby threw it away. he said he couldn't stand another minute of them.

 

I was just exercising to this song and some kind of chanting started going on. Started at about 5 minutes into the song.

 

@Beth Gallagher did you hear it and what do you think of it? I know I've had lots of CCR 8 tracts,a few records but not heard anything like this on them.

 

That has always been there in the "extended" version. The track that was mostly played on the radio was only about 4:30 long so that long riff isn't included most of the time.

Here's a better explanation, from Wikipedia... "Creedence Clearwater Revival released a version on their debut album in 1968. The band's only Top 40 hit not written by John Fogerty, it peaked at number 11[16] for one week in November 1968. This song was their first big hit.[17] The album version clocks in at 8:37. The single is split into parts one and two on its A and B sides, respectively. The jam session during the coda is omitted in part one. Instead, it fades out with the guitar solo right before the coda, which fades in with part two on the B-side. Fogerty plays the main riff from "Smokestack Lightning" after the second verse."

 

Marie--you might recognize the original riff from Howlin' Wolf...
