We'll sing in the sunshine

Then I'll be on my way

 

Gale Garnett both wrote and recorded this classic, which won the 1964 Grammy for Best Folk Recording. Just a year after Little Peggy March topped the charts with “I Will Follow Him”, this one stands with Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” as an early anthem of female empowerment. (More importantly, they're both great songs.)

#191 Hole In The Wall – The Packers (1965)

This is one of those instrumentals that stuck in my head ever since I first heard it. The overall sound is very similar to the live version of “The In-Crowd” by the Ramsey Lewis Trio earlier that same year. Although the Packers were apparently an actual band that recorded two albums, it’s worth noting that this one was co-written by three of the members of Booker T. & The MG’s, two of whom also play on the recording.
