Always loved The Wanderer - Dion. But I can't vote for any great song/performer without a mention of Janis Joplin late 60's - what potential yet what a waste.
you folks did too much acid and lsd sure nuff. now we know who the real old heads are anyway try this, and if it aint it oughta be... "Be my, be my baby" "my one and only baby" early 60's........NOW put them thinkin caps on....
For my children (ages 12, 9, and 6) whenever a "Disney-fabricated" wanabee-singer tries to cover a song, I buy the original and play it during the next van ride. It's working... they know there's more to music than Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

It 's Now or Never, Come hold me tight, Kiss me my darling, Be mine tonight, Tomorrow will be too late, It 's Now or Never, My love won 't wait. When I first saw you, with your smile so tender, My heart was captured, My soul surrendered. I 'd spend a lifetime, waiting for the right time, Now that you 're near, the time is here at last. It 's Now or Never, Come hold me tight, Kiss me my darling, Be mine tonight, Tomorrow will be too late, It 's Now or Never, My love won 't wait. Just like a willow, We would cry an ocean, If we lost true love, and sweet devotion. Your lips excite me, Let your arms invite me, For who knows when we 'll meet again this way. It 's Now or Never, Come hold me tight, Kiss me my darling, Be mine tonight, Tomorrow will be too late, It 's Now or Never, My love won 't wait.
Hey i know its already been mentioned once. But i always liked the lion sleeps tonight. I remember it being played when i was a little kid back in the 70's Ya i know it had already been out for a long time by that point but I was a kid back then and time didnt mean anything to a kid.

There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down

Thanks for letting all of us get in on this, HepKitty. I'd have to say my favorite song is Suspicious Minds by the King. I had to look to see when it was released, because I knew it was one of his later songs -- August 1969 -- just under the gun, baby!

Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all that he has done. --Colossians 2:7
I have to go with Bob Dylan's 1965 "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)," with lines such as:
...he not busy being born is busy dying ...But even the president of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked ... propaganda all is phony ... money doesn't talk, it swears
With special mention to:
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Beatles) Back In The USSR (Beatles) Crossroads (Cream but written by Robert Johnson) Tommy (any song) (The Who)

Everyday, by Buddy Holly - anything done by Buddy Holly is on my list. By the way thanks for the thread Lucy - I like the mix of Dark and Lite siders. Shep
The 1960s were my all time favorite years for songs, so this is a tough decision. Out of the dozens of songs I can think of from the 60s, the one I still blast on the mega watt stereo is by Roy Orbison: In Dreams, from 1963.

Now who's the suck-up?
Soft = Love me Tender, Elvis
Hard = Somebody to Love, Jefferson Airplane
Best song of that type but from a different era = Stray Cat Strut, The Stray Cats

Now who's the suck-up?
van morrison did have it going on quite well back then...
Actually, it's pretty hard for me to choose from the '60's because I like so many early Floyd material...
This probably takes me out of the running because Lucy likes DooWop...
