OUT OF THE SHADOWS
Songlist
(e.g. She Loves You, You Can't Do That, I Saw Her Standing There), the Searchers (e.g. Love Potion No. 9), the Rolling Stones (e.g. Under The Boardwalk, It's All Over Now, Route 66) and Bob Dylan as sung by the Byrds and the Turtles (Mr Tambourine Man, It Ain't Me Babe) and others like Van Morrison (Gloria) and The Doors (Light My Fire).
60s summer / surfing / Beach Boys songs (like Hanging Five, Surf City, Summertime Blues, Help Me Rhonda).
And there are a few Latino numbers (e.g. Diana – Paul Anka, Sway, Blame It On The Bossa Nova).
Plus some doo wop numbers, with those distinctive vocal bass lines and big harmony backing, like Little Darling, Blue Moon, Rama Lama Ding Dong.
Many ballads are included when some quieter music is needed at the start or the end of the evening (e.g. Stand By Me, Baby It’s You, Dream, Let It Be Me).
Then there are classic girl songs of the era – e.g. It’s My Party (and I’ll cry if I want to!), Stupid Cupid (stop picking on me!), I Only Want to Be With You, My Guy - through to the drama of You Don’t Own Me (I’m not just one of your many toys).
