Does anybody remember the song 98.6 by Keith? It went gold but I don’t know much about that guy. Lodi-CCR Time won’t let me - the outsiders Cover of the Rolling Stone… Dr. Hook I could probably go on forever… It’s too bad that today’s music is taking over the airwaves. But there are a few oldies channels out there… And there is a Lotta good music out there from back in the day.
@NotaHero911-hq7dg thanks. I always thought it was hey 98.6… my cousin wrote down the lyrics all those years ago… Anyway, that’s how she heard it. Was a nice song… Wonder whatever happened to that guy
@NotaHero911-hq7dg yep! when I was a kid, I thought the line in the Star-Spangled Banner, that said “ gave proof through the night” was” Babe Ruth through the night” because that was the song they sang at baseball games. Imagine how embarrassed I was when I sang it wrong in front of the class. That was about 50 years ago, just now getting over it! Lol.
There's a song my Dad had on an 8-track called Devil With A Blue Dress On. I have no idea who sang it, I just remember being in early grade school, getting up in the morning and BLASTING that song! My parents would CRACK UP watching me sing and dance to that song. What grate days❣️
The animals were planning at a bar I was working at. I worked well away from the band and finally my long day ended. As I waited for the cab (as buses had stopped many hours before), 4 guys came out talking and laughing. They asked me if I had liked the band. I told them I hadn’t heard them. So all four looked at me and sang their hit for me. Happened over 50 years ago but I still remember it.
The mistake here is that these songs are played regularly by people who grew up in that era . There aren’t many “ classic rock “ channels these days that regularly play those hits.
People who grew in that era aren't the only people who still listen to that music. I listen to all of the songs in this vidéo regularly and this music is all before my time.
My daughter was playing a Blink 182 song and I asked her what kind of music she would call that. She replied “ punk “. I then introduced her to the Ramones. She became a rabid fan. It was fun introducing her to Blondie and the Clash.
I thank my father for loving all music from Tchaikovsky to tango from Glen Miller to the Carpenters born in 64 with ten older siblings i was lucky to be exposed to all that wonderful music and i have done the same for my children and they also love all kinds of music 😊😊🇨🇷
My mother had such an appreciation for music that she wanted all us siblings to learn music so we did learn and play instruments as well as listened to music on the radio and played records on the stereo. I took music appreciation in college and learned about Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc., as well. So you know I was listening to the 60's, 70's, and so on all of my life being the baby of the siblings bc I was born in the late 50's.
@@crystalkauffman3322 Music is a hell of a thing and wonderful as well. It tames the savage beast to stop and listen instead of attacking whatever is close to them. You can sleep to it; eat to it; study to it; dance to it; and listen to it. It can invoke thoughts and convey anything words can say. There's nothing better than it in all phases of our lives and we would be lost without it!!! It is one of the greatest gifts that GOD blessed us with up there with eating, sleeping, and sex; lol!!!
I thank my dad for his eclectic taste in music. He use to wake us every weekend to the loudest music & we never knew what was going to play. It could be a waltz or national March from Chile to the Beatles to what ever ABBA song was the hit at the time. He use to drive us crazy but jeez he could throw some wild parties with his friends. Miss him heaps, it's 8 years yesterday since his passing.
We haven't forgotten any of these great songs! There're just a lot of music lovers who are too young to have heard them. Younger people will have their own "oldies" in layer decades. 🎶🎵🎶
not all I know or listened to, but there sure are some great ones, bringing back memories: Crimson and clover, House of the rising sun.... Now i am more stuck on old Donovan, Cat Stevens, however I love me some acapella hymns.
I'm 66. I remember ALL of those. Know the words and tunes. And, 1986-88 I worked for a radio station doing weekend board op for Solid Gold Saturday Night and the Pillow Talk afterwards. It was an easy listening station but did SGSN. And your segment about Patsy Cline made me smile. My mom was a young woman in the Navy in Norfolk when she met Patsy in a bar she was singing in. Mom had some great stories about her and some of their fun at the time.
I hung out with Tracy Lee Nelson who filled-in for Lolly on the guitar after his stroke. The phrase "Come & Get Your Love" was actually when the Vasquez brother's father was going to punish them for something they did. But, they were first active in Latino music in SoCal, then were hot into Surf Guitar craze. As studio musicians, they worked with many singers, the late Tina Turner probably being most famous. The recording industry was very tight & controlling. So Redbone went to clubs in Europe and were instant superstars. But they "lost" Pete "King Kong" DePoe, drummer, to the vast abundance of drugs. Back in the States, 2 changes of drummers, but now more albums showing the range of influences that was part of their sound. Pat (Vasquez) Vegas is still with us, his son PJ Vegas does projects, and activism for Native Americans in the Los Angeles area. I'm not in SoCal now... the pandemic era, and inflation, shut down my road trips. Now on my phone, I can pull up songs from the era. Back on Island of Guam, I did chores for my jukebox money 1969 to 1975. Peace-out!
@@theukuleledirectory3900 Redbone were suppressed in USA because of the big label record companies. They became superstars in Europe, then returned USA and Soul Train tv show hosted them. But the big shootout between FBI and AIM at Wounded Knee hurt their prospects. Their new albums has some political messages. Pete DePoe did too much drugs in Europe, forgot how to drum, Arturo Perez replaced him, then Tony Bellamy's cousin Butch Rillera took the drums. Lolly had a stroke in mid 1990's. Bellamy died of liver failure in 2009, Lolly died 2010 from lung cancer complications. Pat Vegas has tried to form a new group "Redbone Europe". And Pat I filmed almost 10 years ago, is still with us. His son PJ Vegas does his own music & Native culture projects in the Los Angeles area.
No, wrong, we never forgot any of these songs, especially Bette Davis' Eyes. Unforgettable! Patsy Cline is played in my home once a month. You are young, we know every lyric of all these songs. I am glad you are sharing with your peers. We still play Buddy Holly, and mourn in February. Playing, Bye, bye, Miss American Pie!
My big brother is a huge Buddy Holly fan and if I'd been born earlier, I prob would've been, too. Good for you, for my bro would say (and I think I'd have to agree) that "you must have good taste, concettaworkman5895". And Patsy Cline gets an A+.
From the early 60's a beautiful love song by the Paris Sisters "I Love How You Love Me." Back in the day when people use to enjoy slow-dancing with their significant other.
Thanks to reaction channels, songs like these are kept alive for younger generations to discover and help those of us who have heard them a thousand times gain a new appreciation for them. RU-vid forever!
I don't know you but I know you can't be that uncool!! I thought I was cool, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get 37 likes in 5 years. You got 'em in five months, baby!!! Ooof!!! ❤
@ashurmom Our grandparents' two songs sung at their 50th anniversary Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger" And Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night.' They always said they would have divorced but they couldn't afford it.
How can he not say that Martha & The Vandellas version of "Dancing In The Street" wasn't the best version, it's not only the best version of the song it's also the definitive version..
Indeed. But let's not forget how inappropriate it was for Bowie and Jagger to record the song for Live Aid. Think about it: It was a day for the world, and the song certainly points out that there will be "people dancing around the world". But when it mentions the places where these people are dancing, they're all in AMERICAN cities. Nowhere else. And I always thought that was hypocritical...
I agree. I thought the Rolling Stones version of "Dancing in the Street" and, especially, "Harlem Shuffle", were pointless. Martha & the Vandellas and Bob and Earl did the definitive versions of these songs.
74 soon to be 75 and remember and loved them all from the Varsity Club in my youth to the radio, 45s, and garage bands, to roller skating and disc dancing in the clubs til' today they will always be remembered and loved. Could listen to your picks "all night long."
I was a teenager in the '80s. I grew up listening to rock from the '60s and '70s, and of course I heard all the '80s songs mentioned here when they were on the pop-music radio stations -- and saw their videos on MTV every day when I got home from school. Nearly all of the songs in this video is on one of my playlists. 😊 They all get tons of airplay in this house.
I happen to know every one of these songs because I love all genres of music. Rock is my favorite, though. Thank you for the walk down memory lane, and these youngsters nowadays should look up some older music and see what they've been missing! Once again, thanks for the walk down memory lane!❤😊🎉
I am in the UK. House of the Rising Sun is NOT forgotten. Gerry and the Pacemaker are also very famous for Ferry across the Mersey. The Age of Aquarius...I love it and I listen to Hair once in a while. This is an excellent list and I have most of them, so I listen to them. Now, this video will move me to play it to others!!
Now I feel old!!!!! Actually I am old and remembered almost every song on this list! I even have my 45s from my early years! Thanks for such a wonderful list!!!!!
I got a shitload of 45 records. Lots old albums too. Never threw anything away. 2 versions of House of the Rising Sun. 1 by The Animals The other by a group called Fridged Pink
There's so many great songs that came out in the 60's and 70's. Everyone was making great music and you may have left out a few songs (i.e., Can't Take My Eyes Off of You; Hurt So Bad; Going Out of My Head; Spooky; Groovin, People Got to Be Free; Crystal Blue Persuasion; Magic Carpet Ride; Dancing in the Moonlight; It's Magic; Baby Light My Fire; Baby I Love Your Ways, Listen to the Music, Hotel California; Long Train Running ; Horse With No Name; Fallin In Love Again; How Long; Tiny Dancer; Ride Like the Wind; Don't Want to Fall in Love (oops the 80's); More Love; Baby, Baby, Don't Cry; In the Mood; That's the Way I Feel About You, and a whole lot of R&B and Soul; etc.). I call the White music blue-eyed soul. The 80's were the bomb with everyone making music still played today!!!
@@philshock3805 I know; huh. This is why I love RU-vid and make playlists as well as buy those Time Warner CDs to remember these songs and entertain myself, family, and friends. These songs invoke memories, sometimes good and bad, but more good than bad and can make even better memories.
I love every single song on your post. Every decade had incredible music and I enjoyed every minute of the greatest music the world has ever known. Thank you for sharing. ❤
When the Animals were in the studio to record *House of the Rising Sun, they did it in ONE TAKE, Start to Finish!* Because at the time, they could *ONLY AFFORD ONE TAKE!* and They Nailed It
CHERISH, by the Association, the group that could do more with 1 or 2 notes than any other group I've ever heard, thanks to their "6-part harmony!" Sadly, their lead singer and composer died recently.
Thanks for showing your appreciation of these songs. Sadly, New York oldies radio no longer plays 60s and 70s music. I enjoyed these songs as a kid, and greatly appreciate them now more than ever. Awesome video! Keep up the great work.
When my then 14 years old daughter got up at a biker party and sang Aretha Franklin Chain of Fools,followed by my all time favorite country song,Wishful Thinking, by Wynn Stewart, and made me cry in front of fellow bikers. Didn't know she'd learned the country song and the queen bee of biker women put her arm around me and told me to be proud of my daughter, because she'd learned the song for me. I'll never forget that.
Many of your choices are on my playlist in my car. Amazing how you can put 50,000 songs on a piece of material smaller than a corn chip. Beats the hell out of my collection of 8-tracks. Great video. I even shared it on my fb page.
The one band I used to love from the 80s, and they had several great hits, but you never hear them now is, The Thompson Twins, I loved, Doctor Doctor, Love on your side, and my fav, Hold Me Now. Fantastic 80s sounds.
I still listen to the original "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood today, that I heard as a 5-year old kid! So, that is also not forgotten! I didn't have any knowledge that Whitney Houston did a cover of the song - till the remixed version of Kygo came out in 2019!
Back In The High Life for me. CBS played it during the highlights of the 1987 NBA Finals between the Celtics and winning Lakers at the end of the broadcast. CLASSIC!
Great blast from the past! Back in the 70's we had our ears glued to radios on Friday night countdown as our favoutite DJs broadcast the voter's number placements on the Charts. Who here remembers The Streak and Goofy Greats? 😊
Good list but was hoping to see The Mamas and the Papas and Jim Croce since they are in the thumbnail. Also Jerry Lee Lewis did pass away earlier this year. But I'm a big Turtles fan so always fun to see Howard and the gang!
I was born in 1970, so the '80's were my coming-of-age time, for better or worse lol. And, @DoYouRemember?, I don't know where you come from, but you've got to be a time traveler to be able to take me literally back to those days like you do. In your videos sometimes I shake my head, sometimes I shed a tear, but I always smile and enjoy them!
I havent read through all the comments, but I just want to point out that Nena's 99 Luftballoons was probably the first German language song on the popular charts. Also, I think Der Kommisar was before, if not contemporary. 🙂
The Kinks semi-comeback in 1982 was fantastic - great show and a great follow up live double album. Every song gets a harder - and much better - treatment.
I don’t think the Kinks get enough credit for their impact and influence as a classic rock band. Ray is one of the greatest, most prolific songwriters in the history of Rock, and his brother Dave is a criminally underrated lead guitarist.
Loved that Kinks live album, and I agree, their live versions on that album are generally way better than their studio versions! Where have all the good times gone?
I remember when "Rock Me Amadeus" felt like it was playing 24/7 on every rock station that 15-year-old me listened to. I never did understand every bit of the lyrics lol. Now I've got to look them up...
With or Without You isn't forgotten, or am I just so old that I still listen to it and think about it more than most people? And those '50s songs are *chef's kiss* primo...
WOW!! that was way too cool man! i grew up listening to all of those songs and artists. didn't care for U2, and you nailed them as what they became. So many beautiful songs when music was great. the Supreme's, Paul Revere and the Raiders are just two that come to me as having great easy listening songs. I enjoyed this. hope to see more. thank you.
I graduated in the mid 70's so I got to hear most of the 60s. I didn't appreciate the wide and new variety of the 60s until recent years. The 70s was torture and salad spoon gagging. Between awful sappy music and horrid fashion nuclear wasteland, there were occasional gems like Sweet, Boston, Fleetwood and such. Then came my favorite decade....1980s. Partying, designer jeans (women), and just a fun time. Musically you never knew what new band/genre was hitting the air next week. It was eclectic, fast and exciting.
I own a tambourine every one of these songs is on my playlist you can hear them jamming anytime I'm listening to music you will not hear Disco or rap born in 1960. After decades of smoking pot I have not forgotten not one of great songs
You've masterfully captured the essence of the 1960s Hollywood era, allowing us to witness the profound transformations of these actors within the narrative.
Got lots of fav artists from way back when....Stevie Wonder, Little River Band, Reo Speedwagon, Ambrosia, Journey, The Bee Gees, .38 Special, Lynerd Skynerd, Rod Stewart....I will stop commenting now cause the music really never stops.
@@24get24giveyes! I remember those well, I had a couple of their tapes, but for whatever reason my radio station rarely played them. West End Girls was always on, seemed like.
There are many songs I could add: Mick Jagger - Just another Night Duran Duran - A View to a Kill Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon Herbie Hancock - Rock It Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart Styx - Boat on the River Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers - Don't Come Around Here No More Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance Fleetwood Mac - Big Love Survivor - Burning Heart The Hooters - And We Danced Kate Bush - Cloudbusting Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster Kim Wilde - Cambodia Status Quo - In the Army Now Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself OMD - Secret The Stranglers - Golden Brown Godley & Creme - Cry Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra Michael Jackson - Give in to me Dream Academy - Live in a Northern Town Fleetwood Mac - The Chain The Art of Noise - Paranoimia ...
YES! Echo and the Bunnymen . You are spot on with this song's greatness! Anyone who is only familiar with Rock Me Amadeus needs to check out more Falco ( RIP). His song Vienna Calling is incredible
Ah yes, 45s. My first four 45s: Bridget the Midget, Hot Rod Lincoln, Lucretia MacEvil, Hey Jude/Revolution. Hmm, looks like I was buying about one single a year.
