This 60s music is still far better then anything thats out today.. Nobody uses 2020+ music in films or tv adverts but there are many songs from the 1960's, 70's, 80's around today.

The sheer number of songs released boggles the mind. All it took, was to cut a demo, make 50 copies, and drive around to the local radio stations and get a DJ to play it on the air during the evenings when kids were listening. Then wait and see what happens. No 'video' needed to release a song, like later after the MTV generation came about. By the 1990's, there were sometimes only 13 songs to reach #1 FOR A WHOLE YEAR. This doesn't mean those songs were so great, just that there simply weren't many good songs being released.

These songs are not forgotten. They are still awesome today.

No one has forgotten ANY of these songs except the last one.

i still know all the words. Great memories associated with these songs.

Kinks, most underrated band ever, imo. My favorite band.

House of the Rising Son was a HUGE favorite of mine. It was my first taste of the Blues. Still one of my favorite genres of music

Hey. These songs are still beloved by millions of people. They're belong to our generation, and we're still rocking and grooving.❤❤❤❤

how could anybody in there right mind forget these songs??

The rascals and the Turtles were epic bands. One could hardly wait to see what they would put out next. Also Marilyn McCoo was one of the most beautiful and had the best voice of the times

Two songs, I loved as a teenager, Montego Bay and Thunder Island. So many one hit wonders that have been lost to time. Thanks for the memories!

And now some awsome songs that we REALLY forgot, instead of golden oldies.

It's nice to know the history behind these songs good stuff

I was born in 1946. I am glad I was. Just one wonderfully addictive song after another. I am now into classical music. But from Elvis for the next twenty years was a terrific musical time. But I would say that wouldn't I ?

@@screwyootube1 Sure, I understand that. But I consider “never heard” to be different than “forgotten.” I thought this video was going to dig deep and find some good old songs that faded away over the decades - including from airplay on oldies stations and classic rock stations. This could include songs that fans liked from the albums, but that for whatever reason never were big hits as singles (or maybe never even released as singles). I think we all can think of those kinds of songs. South City Midnight Lady from the Doobie Brothers pops into my mind as a song that I think could fit into this category. I’d be interested in a video like that, because I’ll admit I have a pretty shallow knowledge of music myself, mostly just knowing the biggest hits.

Like a Rolling Stone!

One of my all-time favs. Maybe I'll give it a go at tomorrow nights get together

These songs have not been forgotten ! Believe me!!!

The 60’s would have all kinds of music on one channel from Sly Stone to The Rascals. Now music is relegated to categories. Crimson and Clover was amazing. I loved it so much I called my Mom when at Woolworths to buy the 45. I loved the psychedelic sound effects and the creativity of the song.

First 45 I ever bought was Hound Dog. I can still recite the lyrics. I was too young for Doo Wop, but that didn't stop me from learning the songs. Besides Elvis live on Ed Sullivan, and the Beatles live on Ed Sullivan. I remember Jim Morrison live on Ed Sullivan. That was his first and last appearance with Ed. The Supremes were live a lot on Ed Sullivan, every time they had a new hit, about three times a year. I can also sing words to Mae West songs, Jo Stafford. Busby Berkeley soundtracks. The Judy Garland song book. Funny Girl songs. All that stuff from the Graduate. Proco Harem. I still have a trunk with 300 45's, bookshelves with vinyl Sticky Fingers and Divine Miss M. Dozens of Broadway shows, all vinyl. Not forgotten for a moment, not by me.

The 13 songs from the 60s You Forgopt Were Awesome should be made into an album by itself. This would be a powerhouse compilation.

It's absolutely the best music. I remember these from dances around that time

Unknown by current generations maybe, but none of those songs are forgotten by anyone who grew up with them..

Nothing here I'd forgotten about. But great to see Shangri La recognised here. Shangri La was not a hit anywhere. Radio didn't like it, and thought it was too much of an attack on suburbia. Hardly anybody, outside of dedicated Kinks fans remembers it - or even heard it. The main reason the Kinks never once performed the song live. Yet I hold it as one of the greatest songs ever written by anyone.

I'm 67, so I remember many of these growing up. Better than much of today's music.

The Temptations, brilliant.

"The Beat Goes On" (Sonny and Cher) Carol Kaye (The Wrecking Crew) played that mover of a bassline. 1966 -- the year of Garage. "We Ain't Got (Nothin' Yet)" -- The Blues Magoos. "I Can Only Give You Everything" (Van Morrison and THEM). "Come On Up" (The Rascals) "Outside Chance" (The Turtles - written by Warren Zevon).

What's great about today is that you can listen to them any time, anywhere, compliments of the internet

I never forgot. I've been listening to them for 50 years

I agree with the other commenters… These songs are not forgotten if you grew up in the 60s and 70s. But hopefully this will spur the future generations to take a look at the songs mainly because they didn’t forget them. They just didn’t know about them. It was music at its best. Next time you might dig a little deeper… For songs like “ time won’t let me” buy the outsiders… “ dirty water” by the Standells. “ incense, and peppermints.” Strawberry alarm clock, etc.. good luck with your channel… I’ll subscribe and keep an eye out!

Wish they would have gotten into, more of the actual music portion of each song.

Teenager during the '60's. Loved them all on a transistor radio.

I did not forgot this songs, believe me!

Although the "House of the Rising Sun" had an awesome guitar sound, my favourite Animals song by far was "It's My Life". As noted in another comment, the Blues Magoos "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" totally grabbed me. I liked the Beach Boys "Wouldn't It Be Nice" better than "God Only Knows". There are so many songs missing from this list. For example, "Western Union" by the Five Americans, "Itchycoo Park" - Small Faces and on and on............

I think there are a lot of songs that you could have picked for a “forgotten” list besides these. But this was well done.

Crimson and Clover made Morris Levy a lot of money. - I saw the Animals play House of the Rising Sun in a roller skating rink in Holyoke, MA in 1967. - Happy Together is the song played by AeroMexico every time they graduate a new class of flight attendants. After AeroMexico bought 40 new airplanes, I was in Mexico City for the 2nd graduating class (2014) consisting mostly of people who'd been out of work for 5 years since Mexicana Airlines went under. Very difficult financially for them. You never saw so many people crying with happiness. I even cried a little myself! - Today on AM radio I heard "I'll be There, by the Jackson 5. Michael was 11 years old when he sang lead on that song. Incredible vocal control. Just... incredible! - Age of Aquarius... harmony and understanding... what a beautiful message, lost in the modern clutter of social media. - Dylan replied to one of my You Tube comments a couple of years ago. He was very kind, "thanks for being a fan", and said that it all hadn't been easy for him. He came across as very genuine. It was very obviously him. Even his You Tube comments stood apart in a way I can't really describe but are recognizable.

You should have mentioned the connection between Jerry Lewis, the MDA Telethon, and the song You will Never Walk Alone. That song has definitely taken a life of it's own far beyond that of what the group that recorded it could have ever expected.
