As summer is now clearly upon us, one's mind inevitably turns to pop music. And even though Mad Men's fifth season is over, I thought another volume of 60s female singers pop and soul nuggets was in store. (The first volume can also still be downloaded, btw.) And even though it's mostly lesser known artists, I couldn't resist including Francoise Hardy's Le Temps de L'Amour after watching Moonrise Kingdom. (For those of you with an emusic subscription, several of the tracks came from a ridiculously cheap compilation entitled Cool 60s Girls (never mind the title).

Thanks for the enjoyable compilation, even if I'm unfamiliar with some of the artists (or maybe because of). And I've been an admirer of Francoise Hardy since friends of my mother had several lps of hers way abck in the 70s.
Great stuff, man. Joey Heatherton was a smoking' hot piece of a** back in the day.
@anonymous & Jerry Lee,
Hope you like it. I figured I should give some of the lesser known (and in some cases, downright obscure) 60s artists some attention. I know Joey Heatherton achieved some fame as both singer and actress, but I think her recording career has been unfairly neglected given the notoriety of her later career (i.e. the Happy Hooker movie)
Any chance of re-upping this?
Seems to have been removed from M-fire.
Cheers,
bubba
