I didn’t know that Roj,that Meek produced them and they had a song banned.Although the BBC used to be very sensitive about stuff…
Was not impressed much by the 60s - the groups descended into the scruffy unwashed look and much of the ‘music’ was all noise and no substance - however I did like these two:-
When we were kids we sang this song and recorded it as a surprise for my grandmother who still lived in England. She had no phone. Much later she wrote a letter asking what rubbish that was that we sent.
Having been born in 1952 my fave era was the 60s, and I remember quite a lot of these songs and groups. Fave group was, and still is, the Dave Clark 5. Never saw them play live but have met all of them, some several times over. One lived about 10 minutes walk from me, next to my childhood park. I could sing along to all of them, and still remember the words.
