Songs of the 1960s - A quiz

Some time back I wrote a musing, actually a quiz, about songs and artists in 1950s.  In thinking about it, I realized two things.  One is that I overlooked those who came after me - i.e., those who graduated in the 1960s.  The second thing is that I failed to take into account that we who graduated in the 1950s still hadn't reached our thirties in the 1960s and consequently were still into the music of the 1960s as well.  For those who were born later, my apologies and my regrets.  You missed some great music.
 
So to rectify this oversight, I now offer you a rather comprehensive quiz about the popular songs in the 1960s (104 songs).  The quiz has the song titles listed in alphabetical order.  To the right are the artists also listed in alphabetical order.  Your challenge is to match up the song with the artist.  If you think you really know the music of the 1960s you can also take a shot at the year the song was popular (1960 - 1969).  If you scroll down, you will find the answers.  Have fun!  (This is one you might also want to let your friends know about.)
