LESSER KNOWN BRITISH BIRDS

 

The 1960's produced a lot of hit singles by British female vocalists like Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Marianne Faithfull, Mary Hopkin, and Sandie Shaw. 

 

For every one of those names you've heard of, there are probably ten or more others that basically nobody in the United States knows of like Sharon Tandy, who released this killer single in 1968.

SHARON TANDY - "Hold On" 

 

Here's a cover of a song originally recorded by The Sorrows in 1965. Tracy Rogers did her version in 1966. Both versions totally rock!
 

Tracy Rogers - "Baby"

 

Also from 1966, here's Tiffany with the Thoughts and the flip side of "Find Out What's Happening."

TIFFANY with the THOUGHTS - "Baby Don't Look Down"

 

There were many more like Peanut, Maxine Darren, Twinkle, and Mally Page, but you're not likely to ever hear them on your local FM radio station, or anywhere else except maybe here, and that's really a shame because a lot of these gals really rocked!
