Unfortunately, there's no video of Barrett Strong performing "Money"

but we still have the others

Starting with The Beatles!

Money (That's What I Want) - The Beatles

 The Kingsmen on "Hollywood A Go Go" playing "Money"

with a "Louie Louie" introduction
Look at the Go Go dancer on the right, she's turning crazy!

Well, what can we say more apart from 'The Kingsmen in Color!'

Love the drummer, looks like he's ice-skating

The Chocolate Watchband performing "Don't Need Your Lovin'"

in the utterly cool flick "Riot In Sunset Strip"
Subtitled in Italian!

 The wonderful Reflections performing "(Just Like) Romeo And Juliet"

(probably on Shivaree)
This is Blue-Eyed Soul perfection!

I decided to post pics of (obscure) artist I can't find videos of

(as long as I can find pics of them!)

So let's start with Andrew Tibbs

Andrew Tibbs

Here's the original video of "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies

Nino Tempo & April Stevens lip-syncing

"Land Of 1000 Dances" by Nino Tempo & April Stevens

Anyway, nice swimsuits!

Well, I couldn't find a video of Carla Thomas and Otis Redding

so here are Otis Redding and Mytch Rider performing

"Knock On Wood" on Upbeat

If my mind is not cheating me, I think they are backed

by The Bar-Keys

 Mr. "Be-Bop A Lula" himself, Mr. Gene Vincent!

"Dance To The Bop"
