favorite song from the 60s

[Old Dude]

Speaking of 60's songs, does anyone here remember a 60's-ish song called "Once Upon A Time" ('that little girl was mine..........')? I'm wondering who sang it. Apparently, it is a very popular song title, after trying to Google it. Still, I could not find the 60's version that was popular, for a while. I first guessed it was The Fortunes, but after checking out their discography, I guess it wasn't them. Thx in advance for any help!

This is the first hit recording of the song.

It was a manufactured hit from the Brill Building, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Carol King did the original demo version.
It was also covered by the Beatles and Dion and the Belmonts.

I had to look up Smokie. They're a Brit pop band that started in the 60's, and is still performing.

It's pretty much impossible.
But I've always found that Gimme Shelter has a resonance for the time and place.
I've also always love We Can Be Together by the Airplane.
But really it goes on and on.

We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say that we are we are
And we are very proud of ourselves

Youre right, it does go on and on. The 60s are a blur me, but thats where it all started for me.
