Manfred Mann - The Manfred Mann Album (1964)

While I prefer the South African-born Manfred Mann's early '70s prog-rock with the Earth Band to his feel-good cover pop of the '60s, I still find tunes like 'Do Wah Diddy' and 'It's Gonna Work Out Fine' quite addictive.

The dozen selections here demonstrate how durable well-made pop can be... even after 40 years!
