Agee. Magic Carpet Ride, Steppenwolf. Way too many to post. Santana did a pretty good job covering Fleetwood Mac, Black Magic Women.

Fried Rice and The White Guys are the best Steppenwolf cover band

Both lead singers John Kay of Steppenwolf and Rudy Martinez of ? Mark and the Mysterians were both really cool. Same laidback style.

All kinds of different magic from 60's to 80's. Black Magic Woman by Santana. You Can Do Magic by America, Magical Mystery Tour by Beatles just to name a few. 

America was on two of our recent cruises including last year , had a chance to talk to them and got them to sign some albums and cd covers , this was on music charters. Saw Santana open for Dylan a few years ago.

The group?  No, didn't "ring a bell" in my memory.

But, their song 96 Tears?  Yes!  

 

I think in those years of listening to music on my GE portable radio that used a large 9 volt battery while doing some work, I didn't pay much attention to the groups that were singing.  But, the music?  Lots of great songs of that time!

Best 50’s group in my opinion The Duprees

 

I do remember The Duprees and You Belong To Me.  One of many very good groups of that time.

How about Nathaniel Rateli and the Night Sweats opening for Dylan ?

[GrammieK]

I saw Dylan in 1965 at the forest hills tennis stadium. It was one of his first appearances with an electric guitar. Opening act....mamas & papas. 

[navybankerteacher]

Probably going further back than many here can recall - but how about   Harry Belafonte’s “Jamaica Farewell”?

[GrammieK]

Ahhhh!  My favorite. When I was child, my family loved him!  I saw him for the first time at forest hills tennis stadium and I was hooked!!  After that, he would appear yearly at a local venue, westbury music fare. Such a wonderful performer! How about “Scarlet Ribbons?”

Wish I had seen him in 60’s have seen him in every decade since about ten times , with Tom Petty a couple of times , also with Paul Simon and several others. Agree with Harry Belafonte and Jamaica Farewell , fantastic song and artist.

I don't recognize the name and am not familiar with their music.  Fact is there are many songs, old and new, that I enjoy and have no idea who the artist is/was.

Our bass player (in our garage band in another life) liked them, but I never did.

Do you have the same interest in music now that you did when you were in your 20’s ?

Mama’s and Papa’s were originally performing as the Magic Cyrcle .They changed their name having been influenced by the Hell’s Angels because female members were called mama’s.
