Good, Good Lovin’, The Blossoms (1966)
 The Blossoms were probably the most successful unknown group of the ’60s, and the most well-known lineup was Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King. Their biggest hit was not even credited to them: producer Phil Spector was in a rush to get He’s A Rebel to the market, and since his top group was on tour at the time, he named The Crystals instead.

Hello Stranger, Barbara Lewis (1963)
 One of the prettiest songs ever written IMO.

Barbara Lewis was inspired to write a song with that title while working gigs in Detroit with her musician father: “I would make the circuit with my dad and people would yell out: ‘Hey stranger, hello stranger, it’s been a long time’.” The song is notable because its title comprises the first two words of the lyrics but is never repeated at any point in the rest of the song.
