[kj] OT: The origins of goth?

As the list pretty quiet at the moment (strange considering that Jaz & Youth apparently are releasing stuff and and a KJ single is supposedly due soon) I'd thought I ask a "simple" question...

Anyone out there who has a good idea on tracking the roots of "goth"?

As with the term "punk" there are many different views on what bands to include, but I hope that among KJ fans there are quite a few that also listens to a lot of "goth".

The reason I ask is that I stumbled on this track by The Glass Family from 1968 (http://youtu.be/q_pIiQUIZoA), which in my ears sounds quite "gothic".
The rest of what The Glass Family released has very little resemblance to "goth" (in my humble ears) so it seems to be a one off.
Never heard any other 60:s track that sounds so "gothic", but please feel free to enlighten me if there are others!
