What are you listening to?

So much good music from the folk era...

500 Miles - a song that never fails to evoke intense longing. Peter Paul and Mary, a group with beautiful harmonies did one version and the second Leon and Eric Bibb, a father and son team

i just came from a thread about songs that make you whistle I loved this song back in the day, Keep a strong upper lip, eh what?

One of the seminal groups from the mid-60's British Invasion, The Animals left a musical legacy that far outlasted the few years that they were together. Their gritty blues-based sound owed a lot to their industrial Newcastle-on-Tyne roots, and exemplified by the booming voice of small-statured lead singer Eric Burdon, chalked up 10 top twenty hits in both the UK & USA charts.
This is one of their earliest hits, the video being from what I believe is an 1965 airing of Shindig, (note the trophy over the fireplace rocking out), paired with the sound from a BBC recording from the same era, (this avoids Eric's flubbed line at the first chorus). Enjoy the original Animals with It's My Life:

Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billy Joe

Kind of unusual to see a video from that era actually sung and played live instead of synched.
But she's talented enough to pull it off. And I bet she insisted on it.
