Glad to see my old-school buds (TheRealFiness & DavidEye) doing their "of the day" threads again.

This has inspired me to start a 60s Time Tunnel AM/PM Song of the day.
Lately i've been listening to K-EARTH 101 in the car during morning and evening drive time.
I'm amazed at the "feel good" quotient these tunes have.

Here's the one that got me last night.

I've Been Lonely Too Long - The Young Rascals

I've been lonely too long, I've been lonely too long
In the past it's come and gone, I feel like I can't go on without love.
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

As I look back,
I can see me lost and searching.
Now I find that I can choose, I'm free. Oh, Yeah!
So funny I just have to laugh,
All my troubles been torn in half.
I been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

In the past it's come and gone,
I feel like I can't go on without love.
(Lonely), lonely too long
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely)

Just see me now
Makes it worth the time I've waited.
She was all I need to make me see, Oh, Yeah!
I keep hopin' with all my mind,
Everything gonna turn out right.
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long).
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Now look at me
Gliding through this world of beauty
Everything I do brings ecstasy, Oh, Yeah!
No wonder I could die
I feel like I'm 'bout ten miles high!
I've been lonely too long. (He's been lonely too long.)
Lonely too long. (He's been lonely.)

Found myself somebody.
(He's been lonely)
Don't have to be alone no more.
(He's been lonely, He's been lonely.)
Don't have to alone no more, no more.
(He's been lonely, He's been lonely.)



These NYC cats deserve a thread of their own.

oh Most definately, what used to kill me when they wore those "schoolboy" outfits..Dino could work the traps

Man, this was definitely a group that I should have survived, at least through the 70's... they broke up much too soon...

OK, deal me in! (Now I gotta dig out the 5-CD best of the 60's set I burnt for my kids a couple of years ago.)

Is this gonna be an ongoing thing? If so,my opening bid is:
"Journey to the center of your mind" by the Amboy Dukes
