Title: Songs That Should've Been Released as Singles!
Post by: Newguy562 on February 08, 2012, 12:21:09 AM
It's a shame that these songs weren't released as singles :[ ..they could've charted high.
All are amazing songs that we all know so it puzzles me...They all have a pop feel to them.

It's my pleasure. It's the opening song of his "Elvis is back" album from 1960

always found it amazing that the stones' 'gimmie shelter' was never a single. 1 of the great songs of the sixties

No always included on compliations but never a single. A radio/airplay hit I'd guess you'd call it.
Nice choices btw. Here's another that wasn't a single but should have been

I think the Beatles didn't have enough singles out in 1968. They usually came up with 3.
Hence , Revolution (fast version) should have been rushed out in July with a completed white album on the flip.
Hey Jude could then have come out along side the White album in November giving them their traditional Xmas number one ;-)
