[@Moonrocket59]

Jamel, you need to take a look at Roy Orbison, "Pretty Woman" "Only the Lonely" "Crying" "Blue Angel" and many more. Roy had probably the greatest range of any singer. Please, check him out, you won't be disappointed.

[@mattmihall9913]

Check out anything from the Black and White Night concert video. It's a classic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGvomOVbNBkoM0

I remember when this came out, (b/w concert series) damn I'm old. I also had the fortunate luck of seeing Roy in concert in Austin Texas many many years ago. I think a year or so later, he passed away.

[@ResFantasyfan]

You beat me to it, lol. I came to suggest "Lightning Strikes". I love the nostalgia this channel brings. I'll be 49 next week, so many of these songs were played on the radio before I was born. But my mother helped me to appreciate great music. I love all kinds from many different eras. I would love to see more early Bee Gees reactions, like " Massachusetts", "I Started a Joke", and "New York Mining Disaster".

Then along came In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and the rest is history!

[@vincerencher9128]

Agreed...also a 45 will hold maybe 5 minutes per side, so at that time there was a physical limit to what the media could hold. Btw... an LP will hold about 45 minutes, and a CD about 80 minutes. Innadoddadivida was probably one side of an LP.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan came out in 1965 and was six minutes and thirteen seconds long. Columbia was reluctant to release it because of its length, but a leaked copy made it into the hands of some influential DJs, and their interest in it convinced Columbia to put out the single. It made it to number two on the Billboard charts.

[@sounder9393]

Light My Fire had the 7 minute album version and the chopped up 3 minute 45 version.

[@richardkeating3575]

@@glassontherocks The Bee Gees may have come to personify disco for a lot of people, but they were so much more than that. Disco lasted maybe four or five years, whereas the Bee Gees had a career that started in the early 60`s and went up yo the end of the last century, until they started to die one by one.

The Four Seasons caught grief about this song because a real man wouldn’t talk in a falsetto voice. I guess Frankie Valli walked to the bank in a falsetto voice just fine.😝

[@silversagerae6353]

@AJB3 I can agree with that My apologies to Brian.

[@hillaryilinsky1009]

only jealous fools would knock frankie valli.

[@andydurazo5337]

Also have to realize that was advice from his father. So the singer could be playing the part of a young teenager whose voice was still high. Just guessing here.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

The songwriting required to make these "less than 3 minutes" singles is really special. They have to have a beginning, middle, and end and do it all with precision so the meaning goes through. It really is a lost art and those who did it will never be replaced. Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Leiber and Stoller, Boyce and Hart, Holland-Dozier-Holland, and so many more.

"No woman's worth crawling on the earth". Truer words were never spoken .. or sang.

[@miketscott]

Most of the songs during the 50's through the mid/late 60's were meant to be under 3 minutes long. They were formatted to radio airplay at the time. Some bands would fudge the numbers and write the wrong run time incorrectly on purpose to get a song played that they believed couldn't (or shouldn't) be edited down. But you're absolutely right: Short and to the point and memorable.

[@thelibrarian3037]

The reason for the short songs was radio. The stations wouldn’t play long songs in the late 50s and 60s. If you wanted stations to play your records, you had a 2:30 window for your music. Even the early Beatles music had to fit in the strictures of the AM stations.
