Melody is what makes you remember a song and that’s what these songs had. A good lead singer and background singers. And a well tempered band that carries the melody and doesn’t dominate the song. I think that why the early Beatles were popular, simple but beautiful songs, well sung and well played.
It worked perfectly: the lead and backups. The first notes are all I need to kidentify the songs because I listened to them so many times on my record player and on the radio. Even now I have the same reaction and I sing along. Can’t help myself.
I always thought of the early Beatles as my music, different than my mother’s and different than the music of the 50’s. I still own it!
Indeed, they marked the transition into a new type of rock music. Unique and quite extraordinary combination of song writing, singing, music, wow.
I’ve tried several times to pick a fav album, but each album has so many really good songs, just couldn’t bear put one over the others, and not that it matters anyway.
It’s a long time since anyone has said anything as nice as “He’s So Fine” to me, so double thanks. I am not sure what song we could choose to do justic to you. “Heaven must be missing an angel”, perhaps?

Between the Chiffons & Mary Wells, have the best of Motown women’s soul.

Spaceman,
I was a Motown fan from the beginning and loved the girl groups,. Mary Wells was spectacular!

Spaceman,
I would be hard pressed to choose a group as my favorite let alone a single album.
