Some additional (largely-amateur) commentary and analysis will be added later today about the first band displayed below...Suffice to say for now that I am at least 'slightly' blown-away by lead singer's quality voice, featured in this 50+-year-old "sunshine" pop tune..
...↓An excellent "dub/live" video presentation reposted below. The band's ability still shines through (in) the tinny-sounding live portion. ..Good female singing voices and (though over-emphasized in the not-great live recording/set-up), an apparently proficient drummer is "discovered". (Or re-discovered.):

(Update:) 'One of those people'(?): In the talent-crowded '60's "The Peppermint Rainbow" may have wound-up as essentially a one-hit wonder. I've gained the feeling though that lead singer Bonnie Lamdin was going to "kill it" pretty much no matter what she ended up doing. (Yes...: With some hindsight..) In some ways it's too bad that she did not pursue her singing (professionally), but worry-not about her eventual path. A really interesting 2019 follow-up article about Bonnie, Peppermint Rainbow and some of the people she encountered along the way: (Offsite link) "Peppermint Rainbow singer Bonnie Lamdin Phipps remembers ‘Will You Be Staying After Sunday’"

Brief comment: No scintillating older Thursday-themed songs for me so we'll go with a bouncy 2013 one, below. (..The upcoming weekend days have an ample variety of songs for sampling.."Stay with me for the weekend.")

...↓FWIW I thought that this was one of the better "Wednesday" YT video clips available. ('Caution': Video displays some faked violence, etc.)
None of the Wednesday-themed older songs I sampled were really 'grabbing' me....:
