In 1960, Elvis returned to the music scene from the US Army, joining the other white male vocalists at the top of the charts; Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Jerry Lee Lewis, Paul Anka, Del Shannon and Frankie Avalon.
The Tamla Motown Record Company came on the scene, specializing in black rhythm and blues, aided in the emergence of female groups such as Gladys Knight and the Pips, Martha and the Vandellas, the Supremes, and Aretha Franklin, as well as some black men, including Smoky Robinson, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and the Temptations. Bob Dylan helped bring about a folk music revival, along with Joan Baez and Peter, Paul & Mary. The Beach Boys began recording music that appealed to high schoolers. The Righteous Brothers were a popular white duo who used African American styling to create a distinctive sound.

Blowin' in the Wind.
Great anti-war song then, still is today. You can even use it to tie the decades together.
Bob Dyan performed the song -- it's quite easy. You can find the lyrics here ...

Or, ask your parents (or grandparents) and they might have a copy on that old vinyl stuff laying around! :)
Good luck!

How about 'Spirit in the Sky' - written and recorded by Norman Greenbaum, released in 1969.
It was a hit, in the uk at least, in 1970, but it was written in the '60s.
Easy to learn the words and simple, but catchy tune.

"Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen.
Said to be recorded in a garage with poor acoustics by singers who mumble, no one is really sure what the lyrics are anyway.

Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Dude 1:say man
Dude 2:hey man
Dude 1: I saw your wife the other day
Dude 2: Yeah
Dude 1: Yeah and Shes Ugly
Dude 2: Yeah shes Ugly but she sure can cook baby.
Dude 1: Yeah
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
