"You Were on My Mind," written by Sylvia Fricker in 1962, in a bathtub in a suite at the Hotel Earle in Greenwich Village because "it was the only place where the cockroaches would not go."
It was originally performed by Fricker and her future husband Ian Tyson as the duo Ian & Sylvia, and they recorded it in 1963 for their 1964 album on the Vanguard label, "Northern Journey." Ian and Sylvia re-recorded the song in 1972 with their band Great Speckled Bird, reaching #4 on the Canadian easy listening chart.
In 1965, the song was covered in an up-tempo version, with slightly altered lyrics and melody, by the California pop quintet We Five. Their recording reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1965 and topped the Billboard easy listening chart for five weeks. Billboard ranked the record as the #4 song of 1965.

This song was written by Canadian folk singer Sylvia Fricker and performed by her and her husband as "Ian and Sylvia" in 1961. Later "We Five" had a hit with their interpretation of it in 1965 and Crispian St Peters sang it in 1966 but neither of them wrote the song. I'm sad Sylvia is being forgotten.
This is the best cover I've heard of this gem
That was actually quite good.
Awesome!
Old time music, and yet jolly good: it explains the 60s atmosphere quite well
really nice!
Awesome song and cover!!
Well done. Great tune.
I have heard this song a lot by a lot of different groups and this gal did a good job
Great cover! This is the song that started the folk-rock genre (the first time electric guitars were used on a folk song). For anyone who’s interested in music history, read the book, “Wounds to Bind”. Fascinating stuff.
This was a great cover!
great version of a great song!!
Cristian St Peters
She sounds just like the original!
It ain't, "You Were On My Mind" and the, "Sixties", if it hasn't got a Rickenbacker 12- string janglin'.
The Rickenbacker 12 is so chimey...made the original so memorable, along with Bev's voice.
I’m sorry. You will never outdo We Five’s version. They were unique. They had a female lead and a black drummer which was unheard of at that time. It was the beginning of the San Francisco era of rock and roll.
You're obviously tone deaf! This version was just fine!
Not bad I suppose, but Bev Bivens sings it so much better.
