They actually know each other

Today' song comes from The Association, a classic Sunshine Pop group formed in 1965 in California. Today's song and video showcase their first hit song, Along Comes Mary.

So enjoy the Association as they perform on The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour.

They're not from Springfield, or Buffalo.

Today's band Formed in April of 1966, featured many talented musicians and had a bumpy 25 month lifespan, but they made it worth all our whiles For What It's Worth. This video is from their performance on The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour.


So without further ado, here is the Buffalo Springwhich with For What It's Worth!

The Music Television of the '60s

Here are the logos from these classic TV shows, as well as links to more information about each.

Hullabaloo!

Shindig!

Shivaree!

Where The Action Is!

The first post

Here it is folks, the first post to cristen the "Phillip's Songs" Blog. Each week(assuming that I remember) I will post one of my favorite music-related videos on this Blog. This will mostly mean old TV appearences of 60s groups(but others also like Tears For Fears) from old TV Shows such as Hullabaloo, Shindig, Shivaree, Where The Action Is, The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour, Top Of The Pops, Beat Club, and other clips from Local (and syndicated) American TV shows. Also these post will (ideally) include a short bio of the artist, a story related to the song, or at the very least a link to Wikipedia(this could include the former(s), but will include the later).

So without further ado, here is the first video to cristen the channel(after much internal debate):

It's the Hollies on SHINDIG! in 1965 playing "I'm Alive"
along with their most recogniseable song(at least at the time) "Just One Look", a cover of a song by Doris Troy.


Also, the Shindig! Dancers(Shindancers?) do some very 60s dancing throughout.

Also, I reserve the right to post much more often than once a week if I feel like I must share a new video that I've found.
