5-1965 and 1969's "Sugar and Spice" ("and all things nice,kisses sweeter than wine.....) by the Searchers and The Cryan Shames


The Cryan Shames' version of this song seems familiar...I think it was on the original vinyl LP edition of "Nuggets", which I bought when I was a senior in high school.

But that was a really long time ago, so maybe I'm totally wrong!:lol:

And 2 more:"The One Who Really Loves You"(from 1962 by the late Mary Wells) and "Mixed-Up,Shook-Up Girl"("I'm a mixed-up,shook-up Girl,... Over You" )from 1964 by Patty and the Emblems.

I only know two:
