WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU

 

After hitting the top 3 with "Let's Hang On" in late '64,  the Four Seasons came back with this gem about a guy who realized what he screwed up. The team of Season Bob Gaudio and Bon Crewe once more put the Seasons 4 in the forefront of mid 60s pop.

 

MR. DIEiNGLY SAD

 

The Critters were a band founded in Plainfield, New Jersey and had minor hits in the years of 65 and 65. It wasn't until they did a version of "A Younger Girl" written by John Sbastian that people took notice. This song, which made it up to the top 20 was their signature for its harmony and strigs. The group eventually split up when two went to Villanova University and two ithers joined military service and were in Vietnam.

 

POOR SIDE OF TOWN

 

Johhny Rivers had a major hit with this one on the heels of "Secret Agent Man" and his other upbeat hits. The orchestration as well as the chorus was a departure from his earlier works and put him on the path of being a true balladeer. The lyrics were the stuff of rich man vs poor man and the love of a girl who left he poor boy only to get rebuffed by the rich dude. A classic.
