Hit: 5 Stars
I've always enjoyed music from the mid and late 1960s; and this CD has lots of it! We get twenty-six tunes on this album. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is also well done; we even get chart information for these songs and I like that, too.
The Turtles start it all off with their huge hit, "Happy Together." The guitars and drums round out the tune and The Turtles perform this flawlessly. Now THIS is great music! The Critters do "Younger Girl;" and "98.6" by Keith made the airwaves sizzle back in the day! "98.6" is easily a major highlight of this album; and it brings back fond memories for me! Tommy James and the Shondells do their awesome "Crystal Blue Persuasion" with a lot of style; they actually do this with a lot of sensitivity and it's very professional, good quality music.
The Beach Boys do their very catchy "Darlin';" I could never tire of hearing them to this one! The Lemon Pipers turn in a good performance with their "Green Tambourine;" and listen for yet another gem in "A Girl like You" by The Rascals. Wowzer! The Fifth Dimension also makes good when they do "Workin' on a Groovy Thing;" The Fifth Dimension was one of the very best and just one listen tells you why!
The Friends of Distinction play and sing "Grazing in the Grass" with lots of positive energy; this electric tune really shines even all these years later! They handle fast tempo and key changes like pros, too; and I'm very impressed. The Association scored a huge hit with their "Time for Livin';" they deliver this to perfection--and beyond! And, of course, The Mamas & The Papas come in strong with their terrific CD highlight, "I Saw Her Again." "I Saw Her Again" proves just how talented The Mamas & The Papas really were.
Spanky and Our Gang perform "Lazy Day" with some mighty fine percussion; the music fits in perfectly with the lyrics and it all holds its own very well. I love it! Harpers Bizarre is wonderful as they do their "Anything Goes;" and I really like Mercy's "Love (Can Make You Happy)." The CD also ends strong with The Cowsills performing "The Rain, The Park and Other Things." What a great way to end this album!
Chartbusters USA: Sunshine Pop is tailor made for fans of pop music from the mid to late 1960s. Sure, as a single CD compilation it could never be complete; but it stands very strong as it is and I highly recommend it for fans of this genre of music. It's even a good introductory album for people just discovering the magical sounds of the mid to late 1960s.
