  I've never much cared for this 1962 weeper from Mike Clifford, but I'm

  including it at AAA anyway for historical reasons: the chord progression -

  specifially the chromatically descending bass line over minor-6ths and

  half-diminisheds - is an uncanny foreshadowing of the Beach Boys' 'God Only

  Knows' from four years later.

  

                              "Close To Cathy"

                          (E. Shuman - B. Goodman)
