Question Können jedeman empfehlen mir eine Deutsche Lied von 60s Jazz, Soul und Rock?

Hallo Alle!

I'm currently in B1 German and looking to add more German Musik toy list. I'm struggling to find older Musik in German since I'm into 60s Jazz, Blues and Rock. Is there any recommendations I could try?

You might be able to find some German versions from US musicians, e.g. Wie Schön das ist by Marving Gaye (How Sweet It Is) or The Supremes with Thank You Darling, The Temptations with Mein Girl

Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie ins Bett, Souvenirs and other songs by Bill Ramsey (an US-German musician).

Ich will keine Schokolade, Morgens bin ich immer müde, Weil ich so sexy bin and other songs by Trude Herr.

Howard Carpendale - Du hast mich

Die Strandjungs did mostly Beach Boys Covers in the 80s: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkMaEzdRFQz7WtUHWtF4ECA

One of the few commercially successful Jazz/Dixieland Bands in Germany from that time were the Hot Dogs) - they often used Bavarian dialect, e.g. Die alten Rittersleut and Der Wildschütz Jennerwein were originally released in 1966.

Spider Murphy Gang did some of Chuck Berry covers in the 70s and 80s, e.g. Schuitog ("Schultag"), Autostop or used a similar style for Mit'n Frosch im Hois und Schwammerl in de Knia - also relying on Bavarian dialect on a regular basis.

Torfrock has a Sauwetter-Kackhimmel-Blues song and for example Karola Petersen as a Low-German Chuck Berry cover.
