Saddest Songs 1960’s

The Saddest Songs of the 1960’s come from a remarkable era in music where we experienced the “British Invasion.”  During the 1960’s we saw one of the most revolutionary periods in music.  The famous Woodstock Festival, The Summer of Love, and the Decade of the Beatles occurred during this era.

The use of psychedelic drugs and themes of freedom, experimenting, and love really identify this era, bringing us the strange, the unusual, the new, saddest songs of the 1960’s:
