One in A Million - Fredereek Hernando (1967)

This Scottish freakbeat group featured 14 year old guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, who later played in Thunderclap Newman and the Wings. I cannot tell you who Fredereek Hernando was, nor why he was killed.

Yesterday's Papers: 10 Female-Fronted Hard-Edged Tracks of the 60s

In the mid-60s, most female singers were associated with polished pop or soul-influenced records. But alongside those sounds, a small number of artists released singles that pushed in a tougher, louder and far more agressive direction than what was typically expected from female-fronted records at the time.

This video explores 10 hard-edged tracks from the 60s featuring female vocalists, many of them driven by fuzz guitars, hard-edged backing bands, and a raw energy that set them apart from the pop norms of the era. While most of these tracks rarely enjoyed commercial success, they have since become cult favorites, prized by collectors and celebrated by fans of garage rock, freakbeat, and early psychedelic music.

The selection spans Britain, France, and the United States, highlighting how this tougher approach to female-fronted pop was happening internationally, even if most of these records went largely unnoticed upon release.

Note: although the 60s also saw the rise of many excellent all-girl bands, this video focuses exclusively on female singers. A dedicated video on all-girl groups is planned for the future. Let's begin!

Beverly - Where the good times are (1966) Sharon Tandy - Hold On (1967) Tracy Rogers - Baby (1966) Françoise Hardy - Je n'attends plus personne (1964) Karen Verros - You just gotta know my mind (1964) Diana Dors - So little time (1964) Jacqueline Taïeb - 7 heures du matin (1967) Glenda Collins - Thou shalt not steal (1965) Denise - Boy, what'll you do then (1966) Christine Pilzer - Ah-hem-ho-hu-err (1967)
