US #1s of 1968

"Tighten Up", by a whisker over "Love Child".

Dock of the Bay came on an oldies station this weekend and stole my vote from the Grazing/Grapevine knockdown. Something incredible about pairing the beauty of the music and mastery of Otis's voice (every line has its own choice, surprising but perfect inflection) with the hopelessness of the lyric.

See the tree. how big it's grown

I voted Mrs Robinson.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wow! lots of closeted s&g fans here, apparently.

Was listening to "People Got to Be Free" (0 votes) the other day and noticed that you can take it either as a leftist anthem or a rightist one. Wondered how people took it when it came out at the height of the Vietnam War debate. Too bad the Rascals got nothing here; their string of singles 1967 to 69 is pretty astonishing to my ears.

Wow. I don't hear what y'all do in "Green Tambourine." The rest, though.

Good morning!.

Aw bump Tighten up a notch wontcha.
