Brian Jones Reviews the Singles of September, 1964

[@64north20west]

Brian could have been a producer/musician in the spirit of a John Paul Jones if he broke from The Stones in 1969 and lived. Matched with compatible musicians, he could have been part of another super group. What a shame to lose such a talented man. This channel is like a time machine. Excellent!

[@deeg8849]

He was on this path earlier with his soundtrack work on A DEgree of Murder and his production of the Master Musicians of Joujouka

[@televinv8062]

100% agree.

[@brianinglis3805]

He was too drug fucked by the end. That's why Mick & Keef sacked him. He couldn't even play the guitar anymore in recording sessions. If he had've lived he would've disappeared into anonymity like Syd Barret, another acid causality kicked out of his own band.

[@deeg8849]

@@brianinglis3805 Maybe, but it’s always tough to prove a negative (something that didn’t happen). I tend to believe in what Bill Wyman and Alexis Kormer said, that he was cleaning himself up and putting a band together. Plus he was really into Moroccan music. Remember why he moved to Cotchford? To get away from the London druggy scene. A guy completely out of it and so dependent on drugs doesn’t make such a move. Like I said to you, I can’t prove a negative but I think he would of gotten it together. Maybe never reached said level of fame again, but artistically he would of done some interesting things

[@brianinglis3805]

@@deeg8849 Have you watched that crime show where they surmised that it wasn't an accidental drowning but his building contractor may have drowned Brian in a fit of rage? Apparently Brian couldn't afford to pay him for all the work he had done on his cottage because the Stones had stopped paying Brian an income after firing him. The guy in question apparently confessed to a few people that he had drowned Brian. But everything has to be taken with a grain of salt.

[@Lola-AreaCode212]

Amazing what an incredible difference two years made in the hit charts back then. Compare these songs with the charts in '66. Music was in such quick bloom!

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Very true. It's as if 20 years passed between 1964 and 1966. And 30 between 1964 and 1967.

[@thewkovacs316]

pop stagnated from the late 50s till the beach boys and beatles hit the scene after that...it evolved very quickly...sometimes month to month

[@knickd1979]

Yes! I’ve tried to explain to people how I can typically tell what year a song was released just by the sound when it comes to stuff released between ‘62 to about ‘72. The evolution in not just the music itself but also the technical differences can be spotted and is very telling. Btw, I see you commenting on other YP vids. Nice to see other relatively young people liking this channel and appreciating the 60s magic

[@appledoreman]

@@YesterdaysPapers And yet Release me by Engelbert Humperdinck was still the biggest hit of 1967.

[@jaredcraver3898]

@@YesterdaysPapers go 3 years before that to 1961 and its also a HUGE difference...doo wop was still big

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

The fact that Brian could identify a singer or band based solely on the instruments and arrangements on a record speaks volumes about what an astute musician he was. There was something about that young man that was very special from the rest. There was nobody like him before and I don't think there has been anyone like him since. No Jones, No Stones 💖 I know I always say this YP and when a compliment is repeated it's at risk of beginning to sound insincere but the music you produce really is incredible. I agree with a comment that has already been posted here, you should definitely think about releasing your work in future. If I'm prying by saying this, you just tell me to mind my own damn business lol 💜

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Ahh, Brian Jones ❤ And what a fabulous year for music! The times they were a-changing, so quickly, and it was very exciting for 11 year old me, recording the 'hit parade' every Sunday on my Grundig reel to reel and then playing the tape over and over. I am still obsessed with music, both old and new, and really enjoy your channel - thank you!

[@richardbanker3910]

Brian Jones is very open minded and knows his music all right. Very thoughtful and observant.

[@GeorgeBletchly]

Very good selection of songs.I don't remember pops being this good in 1964. Very impressed by Brian's ability to recognise Count Basie and his not liking Frank Sinatra. All in all a very pleasant review with none of the snide comments you hear in many others. Pity Brian had to leave us. I'm sure he would have done great things.

[@charlesgallagher1376]

I was 7 in 1964 and this is a time machine for me. The lists put the timeline in perspective. The summer of 1964 when the British Invasion happened fast. So much great music for my child brain to absorb.

Brian always spoke intelligently and knew what he was talking about musically. Some great stuff in 1964. When are the early Stones singles going to be critiqued by someone?

[@DeeckyRizzo]

Hendrix and Dave Davies reviewed "We Love You", by the Stones.

[@f.w.2054]

What I like about Brian here is that he could criticize a record and still sound like he was a fan of it. He was so knowledgeable about so many types of music and that certainly comes through here. I know its sacrilege, but I totally agree with him about Sinatra and that Count Basies band was the best in jazz! Many thanks!

[@YesterdaysPapers]

Count Basie was great, indeed. "The Atomic Mr. Basie" is one of my favourite jazz albums.

[@markhunter8554]

I agree about Sinatra. Obviously a great singer but musically not my cup of tea.

[@wyliesmith4244]

YP, I always appreciate your own background music, but the opening chords of Do Wah Diddy Diddy was truly enjoyable. It's one of the few songs of the era that sounds like it could have been released years later. And there is a connection to Brian Jones as Brian was in the Roosters with Paul Jones and Tom McGuiness before leaving for the Stones. His replacement was Eric Clapton on his way to the Yardbirds with a stop at Casey Jones & the Engineers. Six degrees of separation? Pardon my imagination, but sometimes I think that you must live in a warehouse to have all the singles that you picture, all the music magazines, and I presume several instruments and the requisite equipment to record them. You are the man.

[@louisnewton4292]

Incredible stuff in the charts around that time. Wow!

[@YesterdaysPapers]

[@willieluncheonette5843]

This is the second blind date I've heard from Brian and once again I'm impressed by his intelligence and his honesty. The more I've delved into the Hollies catalog up until Nash left, the more I like them. And not just their hits, but many other songs on their albums. Interesting to see The Animals at #1 on the US charts---I forgot what a big hit that was, and a cover to boot. Also interesting to see Elvis on the UK singles charts in the 60's He was in the US too, but in the UK most of them charted higher than in America. Wonder why. And then in the 70's in the UK, nothing. Only Burning Love and one other charted.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

I totally agree, The Hollies were brilliant. Great melodies and harmonies. And Tony Hicks is one of the most underrated guitarists of the 60s.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

@@YesterdaysPapers Yes on all points. I think I could listen to the Hollies all day long. Their harmony singing is arguably the best of any group.

[@karlsinclair9918]

Some surprisingly strong records in the line up this week. Always fun to listen to these.

[@GM-bq6zo]

Great hearing these record reviews, it shows how when a record is released it can grow over time, and its not always seen as great when its first released, or a new style or sound sometimes isn't liked until years later, or until radio gets hold of it and makes it famous. People look back at the 60s as a great time for music and it was, but it shows how hindsight is different to the actual time, when at the time a lot of records weren't rated as highly, it was just the norm. Some artists at the time in the 60s were probably too busy looking back at 50s rock n roll records in admiration, same way as we're looking back at the 60s.

[@darganx]

Brian certainly had a good ear, guessing right the age of Denny Laine in the newly formed Moody Blues, also immediately recognising Count Basie's sound. Could and should have gone into management after leaving the Stones, but that would have entailed a level of discipline which would have bored him rigid.

[@swirlingfudge]

Always find it interesting that they usually try to guess whether it was made in Britain or the USA, going by the production style/singing accents.

[@mndandy]

Check out her '67 side "The Playground", atmospheric & dynamic arrangement- kinda somewhere between psych and northern soul (maybe, haha!)

[@YesterdaysPapers]

That Anita Harris song is indeed pretty cool. I think she released a lot of forgettable pop in the 60s but there are some gems in her discography as well.

[@ustheserfs]

I'm sometimes puzzled given Jones' penchant for articulation he wasn't involved more in the songwriting. I knew about Nanker Phelge songwiting arrangement where the entire band received royalties but this man was entirely literate.

[@tomc642]

Brian Jones was a trained musician, unlike Mick and Keith. Puzzling, he didn’t do more songwriting, but his musical ideas in the arrangements certainly made a difference. He certainly had taste.

[@HomebrewStew]

Yeah, strange that he didn't try his hand at songwriting.

[@YesterdaysPapers]

He was a great musician and arranger but songwriting didn't seem to be his forte. I think that's pretty common among musicians. There are many musicians who are great at playing different instruments and they are able to come up with very interesting arrangements but they don't have the ability to write great songs. While, on the other hand, there many lousy musicians who are great songwriters.

[@ustheserfs]

@@tomc642 no doubt his contributions to No expectations, lady jane and paint it black to name a few were of his artistic powers and gave it that intangible quality. Mick and Keith were no Shakespearean sonnet writers but just surprised he didn't add the stray lyric here or there.

[@antarcticorb9197]

He tried, according to Keith, but just didn't or couldn't get it together. But he was certainly the best musician in the entire group.

[@classiclife7204]

I have found that, so far, Brian Jones and Ray Davies were the best at categorizing where a song would be best situated: Is it a single for the charts? For how long? Top 30 or better? Maybe Jones was the secret editor of Melody Maker!

[@televinv8062]

FYI: after a tour of the U.K. in 1964, Little Richard was asked on live TV (by Dick Clark) if the Beatles were still the biggest group there. Richard said that it was now, The Rolling Stones.

Interesting to hear him not recognize The Hollies or The Animals, here in the US we associate both bands as significant British Invasion acts but that of course doesn't mean all those groups were following what each other were doing. On a separate note, most of us that grew up in the 70s will be much more familiar with the James Taylor/Carly Simon cover of Mockingbird that was a hit back then.

[@wyliesmith4244]

As a relentless singles buyer in the sixties, I can say that the Hollies were a failure on the American charts until Bus Stop in the summer of '66. That was their first top 30 single in the US charts. I adored Look Through Any Window, but that was only one of three Hollies singles to chart before Bus Stop. I loved their own compositions best - except for Graham Gouldman covers. And I had to get I'm Alive/You Know He Did as an import single which a friend bought for me in England.

Cliff Bennett's cover of Lennon-McCartney's 'Got to get you into my life' is a great record which came out the same year as The Beatles' original on the Revolver album (1966). CB's excellent voice gives it a rock 'n roll edge. Stands up well today in my opinion

''I should have known better'' is one of my favourite songs by The Beatles, and I was delighted to discover this version of ''The Naturals'' 5:15 I have never heard it before. Thanks, YP🌹

"The arrangement's too good to be British." This seems to be a constant sentiment among the British mods, who were devotees of American r'n'b. Not sure if I agree with them, though. The Beatles always had pretty good musical arrangements, thanks also to the classically trained George Martin; as did Jones' own Rolling Stones.

The Animals were really the group that pioneered the British Invasion in America, after The Beatles. Them and The Kinks blew down the walls. The Stones didn't hit it big till 1965.

What a shame Jones died so young. He was talented and creative. If he'd left the Stones earlier, he might have survived.

He should have joined forces with Eric Burdon of The aninals, They were good friends and shared a passion for the Blues.

Nice end music, starting off with Do Wah Diddy and moving on from there.
