Equinox is the second album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in April 1967, with vocalists Lani Hall and Janis Hansen. Review by Richard S. Ginell Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable (although it didn't yield any substantial hits), and the treatments are smooth, swinging, and very much to the point... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IRVI7N710k&list=OLAK5uy_l1_NeDsAESWrGYCEBxarVVCpsam6DZeIU #SergioMendes #MPB #BossaNova #Jazz #SpaceAgePop #60sPop #Music

Fool on the Hill is the fourth studio album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in 1968. This is the first album featuring the second edition of Brasil '66. Mendes replaced all of the original band members (with the exception of lead singer Lani Hall). The dismissed members went on to form the short-lived group, The Carnival, which released one self-titled album in 1969. This is also the first appearance of Gracinha Leporace on a Sérgio Mendes album. The album features two top 40 pop singles: the title track and "Scarborough Fair". The traditional English folk song (covered notably by Simon & Garfunkel) was featured in both the trailer and the soundtrack for the 1973 film Heavy Traffic. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFe0sc8XW94&list=RDqFe0sc8XW94&start_radio=1 #SergioMendes #Brasil66 #BossaNova #SpaceAgePop #Music #TheBeatles #BrazilianMusic #Jazz #60sPop

Explosion, also known as Equals Explosion, is the second album by the Equals, released in December 1967. Probably most notable for: "Police on My Back" In 1980, the Clash recorded a cover version of the song for their album Sandinista!,[1][2] and turned "the mid-paced soul-pop song into a charged-up, full-powered rocker".[3] Their version featured guitarist Mick Jones on lead vocals, and was released as a single, but only in Australia. It was described as a "punk anthem at a time of political and social repression", and as their "most full-throated rock song since I Fought The Law." - Wikipedia #TheEquals #EddyGrant #PoliceOnMyBack #TheClash #Beat #Mod #60sPop #Music

Meet the Temptations is the debut studio album by the Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label released in 1964. Review by Bruce Eder The Temptations' first LP, released three years into the group's history with Motown, is also a great record, even though it wasn't really an album so much as a collection of their early singles, hooked around their then new hit, "The Way You Do the Things You Do." Those expecting the classic Temptations sound should also be aware that David Ruffin is absent from all of the tracks except "The Way You Do the Things You Do," which was cut just after he joined, replacing Elbridge "Al" Bryant. The LP represents the evolution of the act and its sound, as well as a succession of producers... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJiWcJrgMUU&list=PLTGZr8YmZMtv-vzqgtToSJpvg6nrnBwuz&index=1 #Temptations #Motown #Soul #60spop #SmokeyRobinson #Music

A Natural Woman is a 1969 album by Peggy Lee. It was arranged and conducted by Bobby Bryant and Mike Melvoin. John Engstead took the cover photograph. Review by John Bush A Natural Woman was her most successful fusion yet, thanks to the work of arrangers/conductors/upstarts Mike Melvoin and Bobby Bryant (neither of whom were true youngsters, though Melvoin had apparently gleaned much from session work with the Beach Boys, Curt Boettcher, and Judy Collins)...Lee does perform a superb version of Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" (Newman actually arranged "Is That All There Is?"), and utterly transforms the one standard from an earlier era, Billie Holiday's classic "Don't Explain.".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxF7V56mmxc&list=RDBxF7V56mmxc&start_radio=1 #PeggyLee #RandyNewman #60sPop #Soul #VocalJazz #BobbyBryant #MikeMelvoin #FemaleSinger #Music

Anything Goes is an album by Harpers Bizarre, released in 1967. The title track was used in the opening montage of the 1970 film The Boys in the Band. - Wikipedia My favourite track by far is the cover of Van Dyke Parks' High Coin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm7f5PkVHpw&list=RDDm7f5PkVHpw&start_radio=1 #HarpersBizarre #VanDykeParks #SunshinePop #60spop #ColePorter #Music
