This month In ’60s Throwback’ 01/12
Aretha Franklin’s gritty "Chain of Fools" opens with Joe South’s hypnotic guitar, amplifying her commanding vocals, while Wilson Pickett’s "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" transforms Solomon Burke’s anthem into a raw, brass-heavy powerhouse. Johnny Cash’s live "Folsom Prison Blues" drips with dark humor, and Dusty Springfield’s sultry "Son of a Preacher Man" melds seduction with a tight rhythm.

Pink Floyd’s spacey "Astronomy Domine" takes listeners on a cosmic ride, and Soft Machine’s sprawling "Moon in June" fuses introspection with jazz-driven improvisation.
