I love “Baby Come Back,” a 1968 UK hit by the Equals. Check out this video of the song, complete with hilarious ’60s outfits:
Now let me blow your mind. The singer from the Equals went on to have this equally awesome hit 15 years later:
The station I listen to at work plays too much Springsteen. I don’t hate his music, but I don’t need to hear “Pink Cadillac” every other day. They play “Hungry Heart” a lot too, another one of those Bruce ditties that probably has more going on in it than the schlocky music would lead you to believe, but I’ve never felt the need to find out. But I did feel the need to look it up on Wikipedia.
Apparently Joey Ramone (!) asked Springsteen (!!) to write a song for the Ramones (!!!) and “Hungry Heart” was the result. And the backup vocalists? Two dudes from The Turtles (of 1967’s “Happy Together” fame).
WHOA.
