I do realize that a lot more music is made (or at least formally released) today than 40-50 years ago, but it still surprises me how much good music from the 1960s (and 1970s) remained largely in obscurity. In that spirit, here's 22 1960s female soul and pop nuggets - a bunch of them made at least a little dent on the soul and pop charts of that time (it's mostly stuff from 1965-1968), but I tried to stay away from the big hits and really popular performers.

@Anonymous,
Hopefully, it sounds good in the rock 'n' roll car!!
An excellent collection of nuggets! Good to hear Tainted Love before Marc Almond got his leather gloved hands on it. Many thanks
@dogbreah,
I tried to stay away from the big hits, but I sorta made an exception for Tainted Love cuz Gloria Jones just knocks that one out of the park.
