    Match 1: River Deep Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner
    Toughest one to call in this batch but Ike and Tina's offering has a lot more going on for me.

    Match 2: California Dreamin - Mamas and Papas
    Easy decision here.

    Match 3: Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
    Really captured the spirit of the time.


    Match 4: Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum
    Tipped this one to go far from the off.

    I've a feeling Strawbs is trying to tell us something.

    What's that Strawbs?

    Dusty fell down the well?
