(373 posts)1. Memories
A raunchy hot blooded song for the ages! I lived outside Boston when this song came out in 1966; I was 13. I had a transister radio tuned to WBZ. We left the region when I was 14, but whenever I hear this song, I am that kid in that place again.
Thanks!

Flipped her out as a kid & she never got tired of it.
She bought a 60s Hits CD because this song was on it.

...by The Shadows Of Knight allowed singer Jimmy Sohns to play big rooms around Chicago for 30 years.
There were only a few lean years for him. All from one cover tune.
