Sounds of the Sixties
- The Stories Behind the Songs
By Geir Keys

We all remember those wonderful songs of the Sixties - the lyrics, the melodies, and the singers and musicians who introduced them to us.
But who was Eleanor Rigby, and why did she die alone and lonely? Why was it The Yellow Submarine – why not green or pink or blue? What caused the Death of a Clown? Who was Lola, or The King of the Road? Who took A Picture of You, and what was so special about The Son of a Preacher man?
The songwriters were inspired by people, places, or events that had made an impression on them at some stage of their lives, but who, where, and what were they?
This book looks at the inspiration behind the songs we remember so well, in twenty stories based on some of the most popular music of the Sixties.
Enjoyable and easy reading for the fun of it.
