Awesome! Just found this. I am driving the Benz at 00:40. What a party B'Head was! No place like it then and never again! From now looking back is like us then looking back to 1950!
1:13 Lupe! I played in a couple different bands (The Joe Band, Face To Face) at McGee's throughout the '80s, and I remember her well. She had so much personality. 😎
spent a lot of time in Buckhead in early 90's to 2000. The fun officially ended with the 2000 Super Bowl and the Ravens/Ray Lewis incident. Since then, ATL is nothing but a sprawling mess of neighborhood areas with their own nightlife; VA Highlands, Little Five, Midtown, Cumberland, blah blah blah. Something new opens and others close up. True downtown is a mess, always has been and always will be. You still need to leave there after sundown. Not safe. Have moved to Nashville where they value the downtown hub area and locate almost everything there. Will be a sprawling mess like ATL/Houston/Charlotte someday, but good for now.
URanInTheUglyForest The Birdman work for Wells Fargo as a security guard he was assigned to the side door of JP Allen’s he used to get out and do his Birdman thing in the middle of a Cain St.
I was one of those yuppie's in Buckhead. It's a shame there was no mention of the bar "Hedgens" where the Ga Satellites got their start. Spent a lot of take home pay there.
I was transferred to work in a Buckhead club (RnR) in spring of 88. I decided to clean a closet in the nightclub. I found this 45 and I played it. I guess I haven't heard it since then. Thanks.
Absolutely hilarious and right on the spot! I had fun dancing at Limelight with my gorgeous lady, Jaina. Great video. It was great then, but change is good, I think. Please, make more videos!
@@billbrinkman7304 I was transferred to R'nR in 88 to re-do the lighting. I cleaned out a closet full of old stuff and I found a 45 of this record, which I then played. It seemed like it was the olden days record. But I knew the original Bangkok version. Pretty cool idea.
Brings back my youth i lived in Atlanta the 1st time 87 to 92 then left for peace corps ive been back since 06 all the fun gone now its overpriced condos i loved aunt charlies back.in the day. I remember bird man from.the news
Wow what a trip right back to those fun times! So many fun places &!times..Loved seeing the Birdman on West Paces Ferry, in traffic by Lenox Square… and to read about his life was pretty surprising.
An '84 BMW and three tanked sorority girls in lily skirts. You're really playing on my weakness. God that's funny. I had forgotten about the Birdman, zipping around on his bike.
@@robjohnson2228 Yeah, my time in buckhead was around 97 to 2003...really fell downhill after that, had no interest in the new crime element on the scene
