6. Hey, another good call!

[Mass_Liberal]

4. Simon&Garfunkel

without a doubt.

[Brucey]

5. Do the Everly Brothers count in the 60s?

They had great harmonies and influenced many other groups, including the Beatles (the group Paul McCartney was in before Wings).

[NightTrain]

7. I thought about including them, but...

...to my ears, they made their best records between 1957 and 1960. As such, I decided to leave them out. Sorry about that....

You're absolutely right about their great harmonies, though! Just sublime.

[NightTrain]

8. You gotta be kidding me! I'm the only Sam & Dave fan at DU?!

Then I'll just take my football and go straight home! :P

10. Hold on ... I'm coming ... I love Sam and Dave

I voted for Chad and Jeremy

this was my jr/high school era

Jan & Dean
Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. When Something is Wrong with my Baby

is one of the best fucking soul songs ever!!! :thumbsup:

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. No, you're one of two.

And I thank you (for this poll).

[leftofthedial]

11. The Everly Brothers

can
t beat those sibling harmonies.

[OneBlueSky]

13. Woody fans in agreement . . .

best two-part harmonies ever . . .

[NightTrain]

12. Someone actually voted for Paul & Paula?!

I only added them as filler, fer chrissake! :eyes:

[DancingBear]

19. "Hey Paula" was one of only 2 million selling 45's in '63

Aside from NT, anyone else know the other?

[starroute]

14. Hey, where's Jan and Dean?

A pair of total musical geniuses and you don't even have them on your poll. Sheesh.

[NightTrain]

15. "Musical geniuses?"

They only had their biggest hits because Brian Wilson wrote for and produced them in 1963. Before that, Jan & Dean's first (and only) top ten hit was four years earlier, with a stupid novelty record called "Baby Talk."

Trust me, there was nothing "genius" about Jan & Dean!

[Norbert]

20. I heard Dean Torrence in an interview about 5 years ago

He couldn't get through the interview without throwing a jab at Bill Clinton. A jab coming from a guy who committed purgery in a court of law. Glass houses, Dean.

Anywho, I voted for Simon and Garfunkle.

[arwalden]

16. Steve & Edie

[Whitacre D_WI]

17. Sam and Dave, by a nose over Marvin and Tammi.

Actually, I think you could add Otis and Carla. The whole "King and Queen" album is simply sublime (is it a collection of every side they recorded? I know they didn't do that much).

"You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket. You probably haven't even got 25 cents."

"I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercurys, three T-Birds, a Mustang -- ooooooooooh, I'm a luh-vuuuuuh!"



Still, Sam and Dave have the edge. Good gravy, people, "Hold On, I'm Coming" is better than anything anybody else on that list EVER did. By FAR.

[Rocinante]

22. I'm late on this response

but Flo and Eddie is my vote.
