There are dozens of excellent music channels that I love on YouTube, but sonnyboy66 is in a class of it's own. If you really want to get to know my tastes in music, drop your virtual needle down on any album on that channel.

This has always been my favorite version of this song, it blows the Eagles version away, I’ve always known that. What I didn’t know until today, is that Michael Nesmith produced, played and sang on this version with Ian Matthews.
 
The '50s gave us rock and roll. Electronic music made waves in the '80s. The '90s were dominated by hip-hop and alternative rock. Some decades are defined in significant part by musical genres. So far, "I don't actually like this but the lyric content panders to my victimhood" music perfectly describes the '20s.

Some quite excellent Japanese Jazz

First track is called Acoustic Chicken, tell you all you need to know. 😄

 
Opinion:
In the early 60's there was an explosion of Black girl groups being produced, played on radio and garnering top 40 hit status in national radio popularity and 45 rpm record sales. This began in the New York - LA axis, but expanded to Detroit and beyond. The Crystals led the way, especially in terms of voice quality and production values. The Ronettes in particular shattered the norms of sexually provocative dress on stage. Their look was emulated by high school girls across the nation and provoked disturbing hormonal responses in schoolboys across the land, including yours truly. This was a significant development in the liberation, image and employment prospects for women (and particularly women of color) at the time. Both these groups had the benefit of the best songwriters in New York and best musicians in LA. This whole movement was inchoately masterminded by another repressed minority, the diminutive and misshapen Jew, Phil Spector.
