I'm part of the way through the Tommy James & the Shondells' compilation The Definitive Pop Collection. At the very beginning of "Gettin' Together," there's a musical phrase that's reminiscent of the opening of the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'." I think it's the interval of a fifth instead of the octave that's in "Gimme Some Lovin'," but I'm pretty sure that the rhythm of the two parts is the same. Five quick notes and then a sixth lower note.
I looked up the dates, and it is possible that "Gettin' Together" was inspired by "Gimme Some Lovin'," as it's from 1967 and "Gimme Some Lovin'" is from 1966.
