Cool rock n roll photos

That's in my personal Top 10, maybe Top 5. That organ hook is in a class by itself.

I never noticed until trying to play along with it, but there's a little tricky part after the Em when it goes back to G and C7.

Springsteen and Neil Young have written hundreds of songs, and neither has anything that comes close to 96 Tears, imo.
I know a couple of them guys. I don’t think they were doing anything technical on purpose…;)

Shortly after the 13 bars of Em they hold one chord twice as long only one time. It's almost unnoticeable, but if the bass, organ, and guitar aren't all on the same page it'll be screwed up.

That's cool that you know them. According to this, Frank didn't play bass recording of 96 Tears, as he replaced a guy named Fernando.

"The band recorded the songs "96 Tears" and "Midnight Hour" on April 15, 1966 at Art Schiell's Recording Studio in Bay City, Michigan,[7] for the small Pa-Go-Go label, which released the single in April, 1966.[8] After getting extensive regional airplay in Michigan and Ontario, Neil Bogart, president of Cameo-Parkway Records purchased the rights to the record for national distribution. After replacing bassist Fernando Aguilar with Frank Lugo, the band went into the studio to record the remainder of the songs for their debut album released in November, 1966. The album was an immediate success and quickly shot up the charts before the end of the year. A second single, "I Need Somebody" was released in conjunction with the album."
