Time Life has become famous for their music collections, retrospectives that chronicle any number of musical styles or specific years. This classic rock collection spotlighting 1965 is a fantastic synopsis of the year. It hits the musical high points; light folk pop hits like “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful, the blue-eyed soul monster hit “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” by the Righteous Brothers, and Motown essentials like “My Girl” by The Temptations. This is not a 35-minute CD. There are twenty plus songs here, all original recordings, so you will get your money’s worth. This CD isn’t all there is to 1965’s music, but it does provide a thorough overview that will most definitely pique your interest and have you searching for more.
IMHO, 1965 was the very best year for rock & roll, and dang good for soul, and even country wasn’t bad, and this sampler has a good, but not great sampling of that year. Too bad the cover art is so, well, 70’s! The band in the background looks mid-60ish, but the crowd looks like they be doing the Bump & the blond in the foreground might be doing the Frug, or the Jerk.
