Judy in Disguise (with glasses) - John Fred and his Playboy Band

By 1967, things were definitely changing. It was the year of the Monterey Pop Festival. So, of course, there was "San Francisco (Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" by Scott Mckenzie. And GMC already called "Judy in Disguise (with Glasses)" by John Fred and His Playboy Band.

And:

Different Drum -- the Stone Ponys
(Of course, Linda Ronstadt became a huge star)
We Ain't Got Nothin' yet -- the Blues Magoos
I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night -- the Electric Prunes
both bands had a number of good records, but these were their only "hits."

Let It All Hang Out -- the Hombres
Come On Down to My Boat Baby -- Every Mother's Son
Incense & Peppermints -- the Strawberry Alarm Clock
Expressway to Your Heart -- the Soul Survivors
Little Bit O' soul -- Music Explosion
To Sir, With Love -- Lulu (she also starred in the movie)
Green Tambourine -- the Lemon Pipers
Baby, Now That I've Found You -- the Foundations

And two I missed from 1964:

Last Kiss -- J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers
Rip van Winkle -- the Devotions

I remember all of these songs, and danced to most of them, especially let it all hang out...that was a cult favorite
