Tributes to a legendary drummer...
EPIC sax solo
This song brings back a lot of happy memories, from my youth . . .
This one triggers the emotions in all sorts of ways, an unrepeatable vocal and musical wonder of a time gone by. That voice, that echo, those drums, so sublime.
Two popular instrumental hits from the very early sixties.
Abraham, Martin and John
"The song itself is a tribute to the memory of four assassinated Americans, all icons of social change: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. It was written in response to the assassination of King and that of Robert Kennedy in April and June 1968, respectively.[1]"
A Capitol recording, by the Wrecking Crew with chorus from The Blossoms.

Instructional slow tempo Japanese drum cover of highly influential early 60's perennial classic.
Astonishing 70's cover of 60's classic by John Lennon.
Who were the Wrecking Crew?

As I recall, back in the 60's, producers on both sides of the Atlantic covered each other's hit productions, often in instrumental form. The Brit, Andrew Oldham was one such. Here is Oldham's production of Don't Worry Baby, a top hit of the Beach Boys, which in turn was surely inspired by Phil Spector's production of Be My Baby.
Astonishing secret gems from the early 60's; for your pleasure today!
Rediscovered lost gem from the 60's:
Heart of Stone, here produced as an instrumental by the Stone's first manager ('63 to'67), Andrew Oldham.
Baby I Love You, Ronettes hit from the early 60's, backing track only, minus strings. In Junior High School, I got my earliest strange longings when I encountered girls dressed and coiffed like this in the lunchroom!!
