1965, Byrds, Gene Clark [View all]

1965 was the last year am radio really mattered. One Reason it did was The Byrds, OK we all remember the Dylan covers by McGuinn but Gene Clark was another genius of the group. Delivering lyrics and a mean Rickenbacker sound. This one was about relationships but seems so perfect for the Trump era. Check out McGuinn and Crosby in the foreground
