62m17s. All 60s music, some obscure and some well-known. Many thanks to felipe_x for "Don't Drag No More" and "Bad Girl," and to sammyg123 for "Denise."

To the distress of Susan Lynne, her guy prefers his racecar to his girlfriend. But the guy is quite outdone by The Dovells, who scarcely make the distinction: "She purred like a kitten when I kicked her in."

Cutie unfortunately met her end on that infamous taxi ride. But her name lives on as the quirky inspiration for Mr. Gibbard & Friends.

Merry Clayton's "It's in His Kiss" was quickly eclipsed by Betty Everett's version of the same song. Merry herself, however, achieved immortality for those extraordinary female vocals on "Gimme Shelter" on the 1969 Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed.

Marvellous. And a nice bit of Pop Education in the Comments section aswell. A few of these tracks I'm unaware of but I will try and rectify that. Glad I could return the favour with 'Denise' also...

You gotta love the 60s! Fantastic collection. Will still sound good in 2060. Who knows what music will sound like then?

Ooh, nice one, and I like your liner notes too. Love the closer, and the Tommy James, Beach Boys and Bonzo Dog picks. I never think of the 60s as one of my preferred musical decades (if there is such as thing) but this would suggest otherwise!

I survived the sixties using Peanut Butter-N-Jelly sandwiches, Winky Dink (in re-broadcast)...& extreme youth. Youth has now vanished...
(and now I eat
Smart Balance peanut butter).
...but only with
Welch's Grape Jam.

I thought I knew some 60's stuff but I guess there's always more to learn -- I never knew, for instance, that is was in Merry Clayton's kiss to start with. Hope to hear this someday --

Lots to enjoy here. Extreme youth got me through the 60s too. Have to say though, I am with Hemizen with his observation.

I deserve a sound thrashing for missing this beauty. I will write out one hundred times: I must keep a look out for Mixxer's mixes...No really, I will.
