Being 46, I'm more of an 80's guy......and lots of classic rock, but there's more than a handful of 60's and under that I like
'I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight"..... Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart

Just good plain fun. Nice energy.
Nobody in the song gets violated, hurt, shot, insulted, offended, nothing. Just good happy fun.

An often forgotten hit for Bacharach/David, it was part of the soundtrack for the film "What's New Pussycat" before Arthur Lee and his band recorded it with a more driving beat.

I don't know if I posted about this song before or not. If so, my humble apologies.
I liked the song back in junior high and high school, in the 1960's, but back then it was just another song to me in a time with many great songs. Stagolee came to my attention once again when we were talking about the death of Lloyd Price. The song means so much more to me now. Perhaps this is because I found out that it is actually about a real murder that happened in St. Louis back on Christmas Day of 1895, when (Stagger) Lee Shelton shot and killed Billy Lyons. During times when my family was in the US I grew up within a short walking distance of the bar where it happened! Of course, that was 60-70 years later.
I have become intrigued by the entire legend of Stagolee. There is a lot available about it on the internet. I have the mp3 on my computer desktop and play it several times a day. This is definitely my favorite oldie at the moment.

Loved Stagger Lee.
Even better, to me, was Personality. Lloyd Price WAS the sound of the late 50s/early 60's - before the British Invasion came along. I hadn't heard that he had passed back in May. I'm glad he was granted a long life.

Johnny, Freddy and Les. Had dinner with them a few times. My friend still has Johnnys dinning room set and kitchen set which I ate at last week. Johnny is gone over 10 years now, Freddy about 9 and Les 1 year. I miss them.
