"The Real Thing" is the debut single by Australian singer Russell Morris, released in 1969. Written by Johnny Young and produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum, it was a huge hit in Australia and has become an Australian rock classic. It also achieved success in the United States, reaching the top of the charts in Chicago, Houston, and New York City.
quote:
"The Real Thing" was originally only intended to be the standard duration for a pop single at that time—around three minutes—but once that point had been reached in the recording session, the backing band continued to play. Impressed by what they heard, Meldrum and Sayers kept the tape rolling until the band eventually 'broke down', thereby capturing an extended ten-minute 'jam' based around the chord changes of the chorus. This inspired Sayers and Meldrum to create an entirely new arrangement; and, during additional sessions, they created an extended outro for the song by editing various sections of the studio 'jam' together and combining them with additional voices, instruments and sound effects.
The final product was a swirling psychedelic collage of music and sound effects which included deliberate edits and instrument drop-outs of the backing track (anticipating the Jamaican dub experiments of the 1970s) and an ominous spoken-word "buyer beware" message (suggestive of the LSD trip experience) which was Meldrum's heavily filtered voice reading aloud from the product disclaimer on an Ampex recording tape box. The final edit was further processed by applying the then-novel studio effect known as flanging, in which two identical copies of the recording were played together but slightly out-of-phase with each other, producing a rich 'swooshing' sound effect around the music. The children's choir singing toward the end was sourced from an archive recording of a WWII Hitler Youth choir singing "Die Jugend Marschiert" (Youth on the March) and the song concludes dramatically with the children's choir shouting "Sieg Heil!" immediately followed by the cataclysmic sound of an atomic bomb explosion.

Cannibal & The Headhunters - "Land of 1000 Dances"
Another product of the great Chicano Rock scene in East L.A.
Wilson Pickett later copied the "na na na" from this version - which allegedly originated when the lead singer forgot the lyrics onstage and improvised.

Thursday's Children - "You Can Forget About That" (1967)
From Houston, of all places, and on International Artists, of all labels, comes this classic piece of pop rock.
H Town/IA bands generally favored blues-psych, but the T-Kids went for UK popsike (the singer is even trying to sound English) crossed w/L.A. folk rock - there's a ringing guitar, as well as the shortest baroque organ solo known to mankind or Texans.
That pic is of a UK band w/the same name
Here are the Texas boys

Jerry Mathers aka Beaver and The Trappers - "Happiness is Havin'" (1966).
This is NOT a hoax. This is an actual single sung by the star of 'Leave It To Beaver'. Recorded shortly before he didn't go to Vietnam.
Co-written by Rich Correll (son of one of the Amos & Andy guys) who played Richard Rickover on the show

The Bobby Fuller Four - "Let Her Dance"/"I Fought The Law" on Where the Action Is [03/15/1966]
I try to avoid hits and well-known acts in this thread, but this clip is new to me. And the first song was not a hit (outside L.A.), so that's my loophole.
"Let Her Dance" (my fave BF4 song), with it's spacy arrangement and droning discoteque beat, is a track well ahead of its time. Curiously, Bobby himself opposed doing it this way (it was his bassist brother's idea), preferring his original Tex-Mex version. But there's still a tinge of T-M, giving it that unique Fuller flavor.
TIL George Harrison was a BF4 fan

As I've posted before, there were a surprising number of all female bands in the '60s, but I don't believe any had a national hit.
Intriguingly, these gals started out in 1963 - before the Beatles hit America.
This might have been more successful if it didn't take 50 seconds to get to the vocal:
Remembering the Continental Co-ets
