We all hitchiked to wherever we wanted to go in the 60's and 70's. We never had any 'issues'. We hitched coast to coast, hitched to Woodstock....we all hitched. Everything was....Peace..Love and Rock&Roll! Everyone was a 'Flower Child'. Thanks.

@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus Год назад

back in '69 the fellow who picked us up hitchin' was getting pulled over by the law. He pulls a 45 from under his jacket, chambers a round then puts it back under his jacket, but nothing happened, cop gave him a warning. We got out at the next light. Not so Everyone was a 'Flower Child'. Cheers.

Wonder what Jay and Amber would say if they listened to Sammy John's song "Chevy Van"? Thats kinda like the ultimate picking up a hitchhiker experience.

@hellokimmy68 Год назад

Oh my gosh, closing my eyes, I'm a little girl in the backseat of my parents' car and this is playing on the radio as we went for a Sunday drive. Around the same time as this, there was another song by the band Lobo called "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", and I remember hearing both of them repeatedly as we'd drive around. Amber would probably really like that one, too.

In 1967, December, I was fresh out of Navy bootcamp assigned to an amphibious personnel carrier. We were supposed to deploy the day before Christmas Eve to the Mediterranean but plans changed and our deployment was moved to January. So, I decided to surprise my family for Christmas and headed home. . I hitch hiked from Norfolk, Virginia to Detroit, Michigan in my sailor suit starting out around mid-night. I made it home by early evening. It took 3 rides. The first leg was with a fellow sailor from our base to Washington D.C.. The second ride came within minutes of leaving the first right. It was with a young family who took me all the way to Toledo, Ohio. When I got to Toledo I decided that since I was hungry I would treat myself to a steak dinner at a cafe I spotted. When I got to the cashier to pay, I was told that some unnamed person had paid from my steak dinner. I didn't take long to get a ride from Toledo to Detroit where I called my step dad to get me the final couple miles home.

Hitchhiking was definitely common back then. Remember, that was before the Manson family and in the 70s serial killers became a big thing. Love this song, it definitely harkens back to a more innocent age.

The Manson family was exactly during this time period.

@stevedavis5704 Год назад

According to the people who study stuff like this every one worries about picking up a pyscho hitchhiker but in reality the bulk of the known crime during hitchhiking was committed against the hitchhiker not the motorist who picked them up. Hitchhiking was pretty common up until the mid seventies and then for a variety of reasons it pretty much died out. You will occasionally still see people hitching but they are seldom by themselves. The last time I picked up a couple and their dog I was able to give them a ride from Joplin Missouri to Grand Island Nebraska. There are a few rules I follow mainly I seldom pick up anyone if I’m alone in the car and I never let anyone ride behind me in the car that I don’t know. I’m truly not sure which is a better position to be in asking for the ride or giving the ride. There are whole shows on tv that talk about serial killers that drive a lot on a daily route that use the opportunity to collect victims that frequently aren’t even missed for months or years. They just leave home, frequently as an underage runaway and are never seen again.I have been in both positions and I can tell you it sucks to have to be asking for a ride. I lived in a small town in Nebraska and the mayor had a heart attack and was told to get more exercise. So he started walking the six blocks from home to work. He said he never realized how many people wanted to kill him cuz even after it was known he was walking by choice there would be two or three people every day try to give him a ride. But that’s the way a small friendly town is.

From the 1970 album Hitchin' A Ride, this British Band had a big hit with this happy tune making it to the Billboard Hot 100's at Number 5. It sold 1,000,000 records and hit gold record level. You're right Jordan, it is 2 recorders highlighting throughout this song. An electric piano has a great bass line repetition that's made this a popular tune. Hitchhiking was quite common back in the 70's, but the world was a kinder place back then. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hey Squad, I’m so glad you continue to seek out the musical treasures from the sixties. There is an entire banquet of spectacular songs of that era - I hope you’re hungry! You need to take a ‘bite out of the Grass Roots’, they had several hit songs during this time, you’ll love ‘em! Keep up the great work you do, it it massively appreciated. With love and respect.

@bigsteve9279 Год назад

They did ‘Let’s Live For Today’… a few months back. I was wishing for HUGE HITS like ‘Midnight Confessions’, ‘Temptation Eyes’ ‘Two Divided By Love’ ‘Sooner Or Later’ The Grassroots were on American Bandstand over 20 times! There’s a video of a young, groovy, hippie Kenny Rogers introducing the Grassroots for a tv appearance. I think it’s Two Divided By Love

@colibri1 Год назад

This song reminded me that hitchhiking was pretty common back in the sixties and seventies. You used to see people doing it all the time. And the band's name sounds similar to the name of the magazine and novel and other historical uses of the phrase, but it's spelled different, the spelling "fare" suggesting that you have to pay a fare - a cost - for vanity.

@johnnielson4341 Год назад

One reason this song sounds so good is that it is a blues based I-IV-V in C which is always pleasing to the ear. Very common songwriting technique back then and even today.

@sourisvoleur4854 Год назад

Also the instruments hitting on the second 8th note of each beat, which is really ear-catching.

It was a song that told how we all hitch-hiked back in the 1960s-70s. In the summer of 1972, I hitched from Seattle to Wash. D.C., up to Boston, then all the way to Montreal and back again to Seattle. It took two months. I met the most amazing people and had the most interesting experiences. I learned to love America on that trip. Yes, I picked up hitch-hikers. Once I picked up a 14 year girl in the Seattle area and I drove her all the way to Portland. Primarily, because I thought she was too young to be hitching and I wanted to make sure she got to where she was going. It was a 3 hour drive, 6 hours there and back, but I didn't care. People picked me up and took me where I needed to go, and I was just doing the right thing. I'm not sure that we Americans have that attitude anymore. It feels crazy out there and I'm not sure I'd pick up a hitch-hiker. Sad comment.

@janiceduke1205 Год назад

"Hitchin' a Ride" is a song written by Mitch Murray and Peter Callander issued as a single by the English pop/rock band Vanity Fare in late 1969. The quintet consisted of Trevor Brice (vocals), Tony Gulden (guitar), Barry Landeman (piano), Tony Jarrett (bass), and Dick Allix (drums). Formed in 1966, they were originally known as The Avengers but later took the name Vanity Fare based on the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. The song was about a young man trying to hitchhike but just one little problem: he has no money! The song was orchestrated for two recorders (which is an instrument) and electric piano which you hear in the bridge portion of the song. Recorders are among the earliest woodwind instruments and are forerunners of the modern flute. The recorder has a mouthpiece and is played like a whistle, by blowing directly into the top of the instrument. It is a simple wooden tube, usually with eight fingerholes, which are covered to produce different notes. What is the difference between a flute and a recorder? The most obvious difference is in the playing position or orientation of the instrument: The recorder is held vertically, straight and with both hands in front of the upper body, while the transverse flute is held in an asymmetrical position from the mouth to the right shoulder.

My very first favorite song at 8 years old was Little Red Ridin’ Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs! Yeah, you saw hitch hikers a lot in those days!

@Jessica_Roth Год назад

Actually, their biggest UK hit was their previous single, "Early in the Morning" (#8 UK, #12 US), but this was a strong follow-up. (#5 US, #16 UK). And then they fell off of a cliff. Over a dozen singles released in the next decade, only one hit the UK charts ("Better by Far" got to #54) and none charted in the US. No idea what happened.

@richarddaugherty8583 Год назад

I love this song! Haven't heard it in forever! I'll be 67 in July, and in the 70's I lived on a ranch for a couple of years when I was 17. Didn't have a car and the nearest store was a five mile walk. I used to hitchhike all the time, and when I got a car I would pick up hitchhikers. It wasn't really safe then, especially for women, but I never had any problems back then. I wouldn't pick up anyone these days. My wife and I did rescue a couple that was stranded in the Valley of Fire (about 30 miles from Las Vegas) in high summer (think 110 in the shade!). Their car had broken down. The son stayed with the car to meet the tow truck and we drove mom and dad back to Vegas to their apartment. They were a very nice older couple from India. It's no longer even a decision these days. Too many times someone will play the stranded act and it's a setup for a carjacking with hidden accomplices.

@rrailguitar2211 Год назад

Those harmonies are fantastic, worthy of comparison to Brian Wilson's efforts setting up the Beach Boys vocals. They sound like four parts for sure, doing jazz chords, really cool. I also like the way the guitar and keyboards blend on the break. The recorder is a great instrumental hook that sticks in your memory. Vanity Fare was a two hit wonder band; they earlier charted with "Early In The Morning." I believe the name was inspired by "Vanity Fair" which was a Thackeray novel I never read. The English Lit majors in your audience will know more about that.

@v.downes9608 Год назад

That’s what I thought of too, when Vanity Fair was mentioned, the book, I forgot about the magazine.

@reneerocha1796 Год назад

Mostly then, there weren’t so many “crazies” out there (for lack of a better term). Lol. LOTS of people thumbed rides. A lot of them were actual hippies who were peaceful people and just tryin’ to get somewhere with only a pack on their back. And were very appreciative of every kindness shown them. It definitely was a different time. In most states, at least in ours, it’s against the law to hitchhike. And it is very dangerous out there now.

My anthem! When I was 18-20, 1970-72, I hitched all over the US multiple times. My record was: 1 day from Cleveland NY to Cleveland OH. 1 day from Cleveland OH to Chicago. 1.5 days Chicago to SF. Met some wonderful people, who took me and my boyfriend into their homes at end of day and gave rides to the freeway in the morning. Admittedly, some not-so-nice things happened, too. I wouldn't recommend it today, but the world was different then.

Yes hitchhiking was huge even way B4 the 70's. Mostly true hippies hitchhiked in the 60's/70's .. their motto was "make love, not war". Of course there were still crazies out there. By my time in the 70's .. the hitchhiking rule of thumb was never hitchhike alone or pick up a hitchhiker alone. Once my HS sweetheart fiance picked up a hitchhiker. Honestly I was scared to death. He was dressed in a colorful smock type frock & bell bottoms .. which hippies usually wore those type of tops. Once we got to his drop off point .. he gave us $10 for a wedding present. He was definitely a free spirit. Such great times we had. Seemed life was a big adventure every day with awesome music to play each day all day long. Thnx y'all. ☮️❣️🙂

Dang...another classic that was played on the radio so many times throughout each day back then. I was 7 yrs when this came out in '69. I was five miles from the Imperial Beach Pier (CA) and we used to hitch there and back...up until I was 11 yrs and we moved away. How the world has changed.

Great song from a 60s British band whose 1st hit I remember was Early in the Morning in 1969. A song with a carnivalish (marionette?) riff about a guy missing his love at sunrise, waiting for her return. Well worth your time reacting to and it's very different from this one. Hitchin' a Ride was released in 1970. I remember playing the 45rpm on my sister's portable stereo. Blessings❤

This song was really big for a while when I was a kid. I remember playing it on a 45 on my portable record player. And yes, hitchhiking wasn't a big deal back then. Heck, when I was a teenager, I used to hitch a ride to town from the village where we lived.

I forgot all about this song! This came out when I was 4 or 5 years old. It brings back great memories of the late 60's! Thanks so much for playing it!❤

I got to grow up listening to music from the music from the 50's, maybe a little older. I was born in the early 60's. But I was next to the youngest. So all my other brothers and sisters were 7rs to 20yrs older than me. We had music going all the time! I'm so glad I grew up that way

Saw them live about 5 years ago. The song still sounds good.

Memory frozen in time……August 1970 in the Army, 19 years old stationed at Fort Ord, Ca., in AIT, heading home to San Diego on a weekend pass, to be with my girlfriend, future wife. This song comes on the radio as I shift through the gears on my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner getting on the freeway headed southbound .

I'm so glad you two appreciate all the history we tell you about. We tell you about the kind of history that you won't get in books. Understanding the "feel" of other decades can only be done through personal accounts. Love you, fam!!😊

We hitch hiked EVERYWHERE ! in the60s and 70s. Really up until the mid 80s

Loved this song when I was a kid.

We hitch hiked everywhere back in the day. We also stopped to pick up hitch hikers who would often help drive. In July of 1970, I and a girl I had recently met hitch hiked to the Atlanta Pop Festival. We got to see Jimi Hendrix play Star Spangled Banner on the 4th of July. I never saw her again after that adventure. I consider myself extremely lucky to have seen such times.

“Early in the morning” is another good one from Vanity Fair!

Still have the single of this tune. Loved it when the radio station would play it during a trip to the beach. Just some trivial memories.

@sourisvoleur4854 Год назад

Oh, I loved this song when I was in 4th grade. Still love it. FWIW the magazine is named after an 1848 novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. The magazine wasn't founded until 1983, 14 years after this song.

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Early in the Morning" !! Harmonies edit- they only had 2 songs chart in more than 2 countries. Not a great band, but a couple of nice songs.

I play this on my guitar and ukulele all the time , it sold a million records

A huge hit in 1970. Indeed that is the recorder. This would play in my Uncle George’s F-150 truck with an AM only radio- WFIL 560 Philadelphia. Sweet memories of riding to Englishtown, NJ’s auction in 1987. Thank you so much for this review!

The music you're playing today is the reason why I'm stuck in the 60's and 70's era.

@bill8384 Год назад

It was common to hitchhike cross country. Interstate highways were just being built so all roads went through small towns.

@bodiedog1743 Год назад

"Early In The Morning" was another Vanity Fare hit.

@kimcutts6153 Год назад

I love this song. This is from the 60s, it was covered again in the 80s and it did well on the charts again. It's clean, and it's simple, that's all you need for a hit. ❤🎶

@Bear-cr2kn Год назад

I had to listen for a minute but I remember this song. B4 my time, born in 1969, but I had older siblings who babysat me so I grew up listening to 60s and 70s music. Amazing how much I remember once I hear it.

@brucedillinger9448 Год назад

Only time I hitchhiked was back in 1983 while traveling around Alaska for 3 weeks. Since I was with a friend I never felt unsafe. ✌

@sarahfullerton6894 Год назад

This was a favorite song of mine and my friends when we were young girls! Memories! Hey, Jay, I had a different type of day. My house is finally warm after 1-1/2 days without heat. Today, it was fixed, and it feels great to be warm in my house again!

@tannonwraith4692 Год назад

Oh yea, another classic!

@robertburke5354 Год назад

Fun and catchy late 60's/early 70's pop-rock. This song sold over a million copies in the USA, and Billboard ranked it #14 for all of 1970.

@keymack2477 Год назад

Hitch hiking was definitely a thing back in the day, but I haven't see anyone doing it for decades now.

@dennislegan3013 Год назад

As a kid my mom always picked up hitch hikers many in military uniform. It was an accepted way for travel when you were short of money. Through high school I picked up a number of hitchhikers. A neat way to learn of other peoples situations. We lived about 1 block from the train station and people riding the rails would knock on our door and my mom would make them a lunch so they could continue on their journey.

@jennifermartin7791 Год назад

Hitchhikers were common in the 1960s and 1970s. I remember seeing them along the road, as a child. People were a lot more trusting back then...both hitchhikers and drivers.
