Sue, I'm 71 and I couldn't agree w/you more! Without a doubt we had the BEST ever music, or ever will be. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your house. My fb page is Ruby Jean Roberts, I'd love to hear from you Sue.
I'm 69 years now and I had my share of woman until I me my wife 21 years ago, she was about half my age then. All these years and two kids later, this is exactly the way I feel with her every night. We love this song, can relate every single word to her.
@@dondeloli7252 you just stated what I’ve been thinking all my life but was to afraid to admit. Not that I don’t like kids. I just wouldn’t want an offspring of mine to grow up in this US as I see it now. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
I love this song because it has great memories for me and my Darling Husband who is no longer on this Earth. I miss my man I am getting on now 84. I still play this song
I love this song so much. My husband & i listened to it everyday & thats no exaggeration. This was one of our songs. He passed 4/30/20 quite unexpectedly. That man was the love of my life. Im 67 & he was almost 9 years younger than me. The only man that enjoyed & loved this kind of music as i always have. I could listen to it over & over again & i usually do.
OMG, I thought I'd written this paragraph in one of my 'memories' I was reliving! So similar, husband passed after 33 years together - suddenly May 28th 2020 & 9 years younger that me and born in '54, hate to admit it, that makes me 67. I just 'celebrated' my two year anniversary , at my cousellors office - of being alone. At times, the quiet in the house is deafening being alone. I have no idea how I've made it without him & if I'm absolutely truthful, everything is a struggle but I fake it around other people - then frequently come home - from work - and have my cry or moment of silence or just time with him. I hope he knows we 'talk' every morning & throughout the day when my mind is quiet. I clearly remember the day he passed, the beginning of Covid and everyone everywhere was being ultra cautious - he spent nine days in ICU - he couldn't speak (he'd almost completely lost his voice a week before, could barely eat or drink) they had him so drug induced after an exploratory surgery (hospital x Day #2) when they discovered laryngeal & esophageal cancer (I don't know if they told him or if he was aware) - you never expect to leave the hospital without your person - they are supposed to go there to get better & pick them up when they are better - not die and leave you empty and alone. LDL 02/02/1963 - 05/28/2020. I miss you desperately. At times you made me mad - about once every 5 years (and STILL managed to make me laugh at what we were arguing about), you made me laugh my ass off so much my stomach hurt. I wish people had realized how smart you really were - then people would have had the same amount of respect for you being able to fix anything. I wish I'd paid more attention instead of being flip & saying I didn't need to know what you were showing me - yep, you were right, I DO need to know how to change a set of taps (dam you) ..yep, I DO need to know that - you used to kid me about being 'an independent woman' ❤ that always made me roll my eyes and laugh! The funniest person I knew - I still love you & I will miss you to the end of my days. Good night my love, I trusted you emphatically and hope you will guide me through the days until we meet again - my very best friend and protector, I was never afraid of anything with you here, now I have to try this on my own & it's not easy. Love you & miss you always & all ways, MKL 💋
@@marneeklintworth9300 What a beautiful tribute. I'm sorry for your loss and how sudden it was. I'm sure he knew how much you respected and appreciated him. It showed.
The transition of singers from the first to the second is one of the best EVER!!! This song is just flat out AWESOME. If you can't see and feel the emotion in this song, you probably do not have a pulse!!! It still gives me a major rush when I hear the first note. Teased by some music reviews as "generic and poppy", ask any fan of the 70s and they will most likely tell you it is one of their favorites. IMO, the reviews are written by people who do not "feel the flood of emotion" that a song like this brings to most of us. An all time classic. Jimmy Stokely left this planet way too soon at 42 years old, but this song shall live forever!!!
This never gets old, a song back when men acted like men and knew how to write such a timeless song to a lady and treat them like one. I know there are many guys out there still who know how to and do this but this kind of song writing is gone, the strings (even electronic), the seductive sound in its entierty.
Well, when men were men and “most” didn’t partake in the gender bending crap like the stoner in the white jacket who was stoned out of his gourd was partaking in. Talk about ruining what was in my head to reality. Too bad he had it all and had to ruin it with sex n drugs!! The ‘60’s and ‘70’s had some of the best music but was the beginning of the end! Glad I got to grow up in a time when men were men and there was not much confusing it! heh 20th Century had the best music hands down, even when all we had was AM radio and 8 track tapes!🙅🏻♀️💃🏼 From Swing to Blues to Rock n Roll to Singer/Song Writer and even One Hit Wonders! Back when we loved and appreciated our Countries be it here or across the drink! 🎶We Had It ALL🎶
to my dear departed husband clifford.... this was our song We dated in 1978 when this song came out, you gave me my first kiss to this song, and 27 years later we got married and played this song at our wedding, it was our first dance song as man and wife. I loved you then and I love you still I miss you so much. REST IN PEACE till we meet again in heaven....,, forever your wife, alison.
I feel the same way when I met my true love. we fell hard for each other. hearing this song. and yes I live to hear it when it plays now I stop what I'm doing and listen to it.fully get into the song as it has such sweet loving memories.
Came to listen to this sweet song that I had playing in my head today, but I stayed for all of these beautiful comments and memories from everyone. Taking me back to another lifetime when things were much more simple and free. I love my generation of music and all of those that love it and help keep it alive too 🙏❤️🎶
Born in 1967 . . . Yeah I loved being a kid in the 70's . . . I want to go back forever to the 70's and 80's . .. don't care for this new millennium bullshit .
I'm another Rhonda! Not too many of us out there! Nice to meet you, Rhonda! 58 and still rockin', even harder, maybe. Who needs drugs to rock out, huh?
I’m 23 Thank you Happy Gilmore for showing me this song when I was just a little kid obsessed w that movie. Here I am still listening to it . Solid track
I love reading the comments from other viewers. They are often funny, sad, deep and poignant. I love this song. I had the 45 when it first came out. I lost it when I was homeless. Bugger!
They are very talented musicians and they have this magical voice and lyrics that I love 💕 The Exile band will forever be in our hearts❤️ ❤. Tell me since when have you been playing their songs?
The first time I heard this song it was in a brand-new 1978 Cutlass Supreme, it had a great stereo with great speakers. My friend's dad picked us up from choir practice, it was dark and snowing. I had a huge crush on his dad, he was a true 70's man with, a leather coat dressed well, gold chains, a beard, and blonde hair little long with cologne was Gray Flannel. The cold, smell of leather, cologne, and new car. Then we get in for a 20-minute drive, this song on... oh my! I was 9 and thought I was loving every minute.

Jerry Rafferty Night Owl, Billy Joel various of his songs, even the sex pistols lyrics that tell a story. Not just a noise to bring in money to greedy record labels and managers.
This awesome song just popped into my head and I was taken back to a beautiful time when all was good and happy, and we were sooooooo blessed to have music like this.
I'M 69 YEARS OLD & STILL ROCKING STILL BUILDING A DRAGCAR WITH A GRANDSON FOR NEXT SEASON!!I'VE HAD 2 STROKES & CRIPPLED FROM IT BUT AS I GROW OLD I'LL BE DAMNED IF I EVER GROW UP!!!HAHA!!
Just listen to this song, analyse it, listen to the construction and layers, the instruments and singing. It's a brilliant song. Brings back childhood memories (November 1978) anyway.
+robin devoe would love to have a redo of this time in music. This is when music was music.....hey, you can actually understand the words, and let your imagination take you away.

The 60+ years olds in the 70s thought the same thing about this song and most other music they didn't grow up to with as well as you do with the new "crap".
Brings back memories from years gone by, love the old songs. This is from when singers and the music was easy to listen to, not make you crazy trying to figure out what the words were.

Working the night shift in a real gasoline station back in 1977 listening to pop music all night long. It was a blessing listening to all these great hits.
I was a freshman in high school when this song was popular. Loved the song, used to write the lyrics on the back of my school work. Had no clue what the meaning of the song was. Poor Mr. Robinson, I apologize for any discomfort or embarrassment I caused.
I never realised how well executed this song was done. Incredible - a man expressing his love and desire for his woman. It is very seductive ... designed to break through any defences. No wonder Billboard ranked it one of the 'Sexiest Songs of All Time'!

I remember hearing this group when i first started secondary school. On our twin island state, there was this British guy who had a Top 100 Songs every saturday which he based on Billboard n songs from the Uk. So it was typical to heard calypso, indian music, rock music and r&b (as it was referred to at that time) all in one day. I haven't lost my love for music and every week i rediscover a song n play the heck out of it. Last week it was 'Talk Talk Life's what you make it' Exile is a fantastic group and this particular track never gets old. I wonder if they still play this song when they perform and it would certainly be a treat to hear them. Great hearing from a fellow fan 🙂
@@sharonali3809 aww, that's nice of you, I've been listening to their songs since I was a little and I'm still playing their songs to date lol. Which of their songs are your favorite songs?
@@BryantBenson335 Definitely this was my favorite cause I was around 11-12 yrs old when i first heard it and it got major air play. I like 'you thrill me,' 'how can this go wrong' 'nobody"s talking' & 'i can't get close enough.' Just a little point of interest, years ago my homeland had calypso but now it is like a repackaged product (for want of a better word) and it is now soca. People really do not use that term again but there were calypsos way back then. I hope you have a great day and you're enjoying your life 😆
1st heard this in a local bar back in my drinking days. Everytime it came on I was hunting for the pipe wrench to turn it up! All of that is long past including the bad memories. There were alot of good times then but the crowd I ran with have all went their different ways. Who would've thought I would've made it this far & a great g'father to boot?
I was there back then . . . And it was a whole different time and a whole different world . . . And the music showed that . . . . But nowadays the world is just full of people with the morals of a shithouse rat . . And the music nowadays prove that .
Has anyone else noticed how, I could be wrong not a professional music critic or musician for that matter, but, how incredibly well this song blends the rock genre with a subtle element of disco?
THIS song is still wowwwwwww.Its 2021 now and this sounds as beautiful as when it first came out.Love it and my memories of boys back in those wonderful times.😘😍🥰🤩🥳👍👍👍👍
@@ginocandia5770 I last Sat back and enjoyed listening over a cup of coffee probably Jan this year.Being in constant lockdowns which I am well and truly over I looked around for some old favourites to zonk out with and this little gem showed up.👍👍
Oh, How I wish, I was back in this time. The 70's era music is the bomb!! Most beautiful love songs ever written.💕 These song's really touch, your mind, body, and spirit. Transcending your mind and body, to endless love and emotional pleasure .💘💖💗💝
@annaritaranalli1791 hi Anna you for noticing how much I appreciate great music and persons with great tastes in music as well. You're definitely one of them
They are very talented musicians and they have this magical voice and lyrics that I love 💕 The Exile band will forever be in our hearts ❤️ ❤. Tell me since when have you been playing their songs?
You can earn 3x your capital invested with crypto currency, I meet a legit trader fro Stockton CA, Mr Gary Townsend who help me recover my lost last year, now I've a house and a brand new car, don't miss to earn with crypto currency!
I was or 5 or 6 when it came out but I still remember songs I heard back then. Kids that age were riding in the front seat back then without the child car seat. Right in front of the radio and 8 track tape deck with the tapes in the console between the seats. We didn't even have to buckle up back then!
Music slowly started 'sucking' after the 70's. No talent needed when all you had to do was scream and strum a guitar or bang a drum. (Not much lyric's and NO understandable melody, hardly at all)
+ScorpioBornIn69 I doubt that anyone can give a precise and thoroughly acceptable explanation as to why so much of the older music simply seems 'better', but that sentiment comes up on virtually every video comment section for 1970s songs in particular. I'm a musician, albeit not one on tour or in the studio for a paycheck, but I do play, and I have a 'good ear'. I don't think there's a lack of talented players today. There never has been. There are certainly many marginal 'talents' out there, but I believe that the dullness in music today is a matter of shifts in culture, values, the general speed of living in today's world -- a lot of social factors that are driving music and every other industry. Times have not so simply changed. Unfortunately, I'd agree that much of the changes reflected in modern music add up to a large amount of shitty material being pumped out. It's a perfect marriage of crass commercialism and insipid artists with nothing magical to say. This is the product of living in times where technology is godlike and gadgets are revered as portals to freedom. Puritanical parents decried Elvis and the sinful changes he brought forth on the music scene. Woodstock-era music was steeped in Vietnam War influences and calls for cultural awakening. Music today seems hollow and in need of 'purpose'. Thankfully the indie music scene and broad outlets like RUclips have opened up the floodgates and wrested totalitarian control from the Record Industry. That said, I can't stand a lot of the homogenous, whiny, bearded hipster and NoraJones near-clone groups and solo acts that have emerged as a result of the simultaneously shrinking and expanding world of mass communication. I've quoted Duke Ellington many times, via Peter Schickele: "If it sounds good, it is good." Therein lies the rub, because musical appreciation will forever be a totally subjective matter. I will always return to the greats from bygone decades, and I'll have new favorites as well, but the latter seem like they will be far fewer in number.
theoriginalbillholt What I have been seeing and noticing is that today's music and not only today but the past 25 years is the lack of talent of it all. To make it sound 'good' it must not have dull, stale lyrics which it has along with lack of melody, sounding too much alike and with little or no rythum. I see very little of it from post 1990 music since rap/hip hop and grunge alternative music became mainstream in the early '90s. There are just 'some' good ones out there however take up a small percent of the current mainstream music. If there is truly any talent out there, I would hear far more of it in today's music with great lyrics, melody and rythum and most of not sounding all alike. Pre1990 bands produced and made different sounds of their own music, therefore you can tell who it is. Not the case with today's music. And also bands long ago wrote their own music. Today, big corporations do most of the producing and making.
Ronnie Watts 1978 was an "awesome" year for music? NEGATIVE! Disco, for Christ's sake! The friggin' Bee Gees and Andy Gibb! "Boogie Oogie Oogie"! " Le Freak"! My friends and I were praying for disco to go away. Thank God for Little Feat, Molly Hatchet, and Tom Petty.
I totally forgot this song. Used to be one of my favorites... All of a sudden, out of the blue, it pops in my head. So glad it did... Back when music was music.
The 70's was the best decade ever. The 80's were awful, barely one song worth keeping! The 70's were insane from the variety of hard rock to this kind of music to disco, it was an insane decade.
Back When this song was on the radio I was too young, 14-15, to have a clue what the lyrics meant but I knew I wanted desperately to grow up and experience it. And I wanted to know what it feels like to kiss a girl and be with a girl. Best times of my life. Thank you, God for blessing me.
These 70s Love Songs bring out a deeper level of emotion I do not find in too many other genres and that my friends really touches the very core of my spiritual being!!!!!!!
I teach 6th grade General music. It is amazing how many kids of today know the music of the 70;s and 80s... so many times I would play a tune and they would say, "hey, we know that".. many times kids will sing along. It shocks them when I tell them that the music is 40 + years old -
My nephew graduated this year. He owns an expensive Les Paul and plays the rock and roll from my era (70's) and doesn't like rap at all. I thought all the kids listened to rap only.
January 11, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. this song got me spellbound all over these years later. I remember hearing it for the first time years ago as a youngster and my dream of one day....one day that right one.......smiles
@Jenn C I think we all get a little nonchalant from time to time it's almost 40yrs for me now I rek'n well I'm 55 but yea I certainly remember from the age of 15 hmm wow the memories 😋🤩😍🤣👍
I love hearing that all these oldie tunes ,bring so many memories back for people. I was born in the 80's grew up with 50's -80's. The best music of all time. Hearing my grandparents and parents reminisse about songs... ❤️❤️
I am 64 years young and have loved this song since my teens,git divirced 9 years ago after 27 years together,closed my heart up for 9 years but have met someone a wonderful man and am madly in love we are madly in love and this is OUR song,am looking forward for what the future holds for us,I am from Liverpool uk and he is from Bavaria,Germany but is living here in UK💜💜💜💜
a wonderful ,ironic song with a sense of humor that makes me want to dance. I'm sure the kids get sick of us old people saying the best music is from that era, but it ain't a lie.

77 and still rock into this music
Rock on. !!!
62yo here. I was 19, living in the college dorm and everyone had stereo sets. This song could be heard playing on every floor. It was incredible.
You'll never hear music like this ever again...... Cherish it
It's called real rock and roll
Playing it now. Cannot believe the back up singer is Alabama's guitarist

Good music is good no matter the century you listen in
Same. I was too young to fully understand the lyrics, but the music mesmerized me forever.
Nearly 70 and this song takes me WAY back and I still feel the same as I did when I first listened to it! The power of music. Or the power of love

I get at least one Asian granny a week singing this song
Heard this song 1st from mindhunter! Love this song
I love reading the comments from other viewers. They are often funny, sad, deep and poignant.
I love this song. I had the 45 when it first came out. I lost it when I was homeless. Bugger!
They are very talented musicians and they have this magical voice and lyrics that I love 💕 The Exile band will forever be in our hearts❤️ ❤. Tell me since when have you been playing their songs?
The first time I heard this song it was in a brand-new 1978 Cutlass Supreme, it had a great stereo with great speakers. My friend's dad picked us up from choir practice, it was dark and snowing. I had a huge crush on his dad, he was a true 70's man with, a leather coat dressed well, gold chains, a beard, and blonde hair little long with cologne was Gray Flannel. The cold, smell of leather, cologne, and new car. Then we get in for a 20-minute drive, this song on... oh my! I was 9 and thought I was loving every minute.
Another great song. I'm 59 and still rocking. Who else still rocking?
61 and still love this band.
meeeee! I'll be 60 in 5 months and still rockin and a Rollin! Long live rock and roll
i am there
Me 59
Still banging young beautiful women
This song never gets old. The best music came during the 70’s and 80’s. But mainly 70’s.
SISSY EVOLUTION
Magical memories, enough said!!!☯️
The 70's had the best. Music
playing it and loving it....and it don't ever stop....ROLLING
One advantage of being in your late 50s is having lived through the 70s yeeeeaaaah!
When music sparked your imagination, telling stories. painting pictures, it’s almost like meditation, mantra. Musical genius.

Jerry Rafferty Night Owl, Billy Joel various of his songs, even the sex pistols lyrics that tell a story.
Not just a noise to bring in money to greedy record labels and managers.
This awesome song just popped into my head and I was taken back to a beautiful time when all was good and happy, and we were sooooooo blessed to have music like this.
Yes indeed.
No wokism back then
Yes I can definitely relate to that😁👍
I'M 69 YEARS OLD & STILL ROCKING STILL BUILDING A DRAGCAR WITH A GRANDSON FOR NEXT SEASON!!I'VE HAD 2 STROKES & CRIPPLED FROM IT BUT AS I GROW OLD I'LL BE DAMNED IF I EVER GROW UP!!!HAHA!!

Man, people like you are what makes life worth living! Best wishes
Yay! 69 is wonderful! 😉
You are inspirational! So you are really 69 years young!! I get the 69 thing too!!!
Just listen to this song, analyse it, listen to the construction and layers, the instruments and singing. It's a brilliant song. Brings back childhood memories (November 1978) anyway.

TODAYS RUBBISH AINT MUSIC . IT SUCKS LIKE THE KARTRASHIANS . JOHNNY THE MAD MANIC .
I don't listen to much of today's music either.
Modern music isn't crap.
The 60+ years olds in the 70s thought the same thing about this song and most other music they didn't grow up to with as well as you do with the new "crap".
Brings back memories from years gone by, love the old songs. This is from when singers and the music was easy to listen to, not make you crazy trying to figure out what the words were.
Hi. What have you been up to lately?
Totally agree. Back when even the other songs on the record were good too. We learned every song.
Also you could understand every word, feel the passion.
Or any of that vile crap they call music.
Some songs just has that 'it' factor, and this one definitely has it. Love it!❤❤
This song is an absolute masterpiece. The music the incredible voices. You can listen over and over. This is one that will never grow old.

Yes, we were actually a "nation" back then....not today.

Beautiful song
Those were the days of good music 🎵
Working the night shift in a real gasoline station back in 1977 listening to pop music all night long. It was a blessing listening to all these great hits.
Great music!
Damn straight Carlos ! The truth...79-82 for me !
Jimmy stokley was a great singer and front man. He really was enjoying himself on the stage
This would have to be one of the best songs ever. Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I guess I miss the past 😢
me too my brother!
Yes baby, we all do😊😘 I'm in my 70's & we know good music when we hear it!😊😘
I was a freshman in high school when this song was popular. Loved the song, used to write the lyrics on the back of my school work. Had no clue what the meaning of the song was. Poor Mr. Robinson, I apologize for any discomfort or embarrassment I caused.
Hey how are you doing.?
Thats funny!
I never realised how well executed this song was done. Incredible - a man expressing his love and desire for his woman. It is very seductive ... designed to break through any defences. No wonder Billboard ranked it one of the 'Sexiest Songs of All Time'!
Hey how are you doing today..?
They are very talented musicians and they have this magical voice and lyrics that I love 💕The Exile band will forever be in our hearts❤️❤. Tell me since when have you been playing their songs?
I remember hearing this group when i first started secondary school. On our twin island state, there was this British guy who had a Top 100 Songs every saturday which he based on Billboard n songs from the Uk. So it was typical to heard calypso, indian music, rock music and r&b (as it was referred to at that time) all in one day. I haven't lost my love for music and every week i rediscover a song n play the heck out of it. Last week it was 'Talk Talk Life's what you make it'
Exile is a fantastic group and this particular track never gets old. I wonder if they still play this song when they perform and it would certainly be a treat to hear them. Great hearing from a fellow fan 🙂
@@sharonali3809 aww, that's nice of you, I've been listening to their songs since I was a little and I'm still playing their songs to date lol. Which of their songs are your favorite songs?
@@BryantBenson335 Definitely this was my favorite cause I was around 11-12 yrs old when i first heard it and it got major air play. I like 'you thrill me,' 'how can this go wrong' 'nobody"s talking' & 'i can't get close enough.' Just a little point of interest, years ago my homeland had calypso but now it is like a repackaged product (for want of a better word) and it is now soca. People really do not use that term again but there were calypsos way back then.
I hope you have a great day and you're enjoying your life 😆
These were the good years of unadulterated passion for music.
1st heard this in a local bar back in my drinking days. Everytime it came on I was hunting for the pipe wrench to turn it up! All of that is long past including the bad memories. There were alot of good times then but the crowd I ran with have all went their different ways. Who would've thought I would've made it this far & a great g'father to boot?
I was there back then . . . And it was a whole different time and a whole different world . . . And the music showed that . . . . But nowadays the world is just full of people with the morals of a shithouse rat . . And the music nowadays prove that .
You are right
Yes you are absolutely right
@@tonydavis2672 Obviously, act surprised. Did you expect it to stay the same for 40 years? Mate catch a grip😂 everything changes every decade.
Has anyone else noticed how, I could be wrong not a professional music critic or musician for that matter, but, how incredibly well this song blends the rock genre with a subtle element of disco?
I made a similar comment...and the underlying disco beat is what takes it to the next level of awesomeness ;)
Right on..
Rock band that did a disco sounding song and then went country. Real artist.
I can hear a country beat in this song as well
Country music that's what they went over to that's what this sounds like the new country before it was new country
Love this song. Great music from a good time-the 70’s!
I agree!
I bought two copies of this song on 45's I liked it so much. Then I bought the album. GREAT song from 1978! I still like it to this day!
THIS song is still wowwwwwww.Its 2021 now and this sounds as beautiful as when it first came out.Love it and my memories of boys back in those wonderful times.😘😍🥰🤩🥳👍👍👍👍

Fabulous song, reminds me of being a kid way back in the seventies when times were good ✌️
Gosh, I love this, been 40 years and I still vividly remember the late hubby playing this song.Great memory
How many of y'all had the prevlidge to enjoy these great songs when they just hit the local radio stations and record stores?
music was everywhere, rollerskating, clubs, house parties, and we danced our butts off!!
I was or 5 or 6 when it came out but I still remember songs I heard back then. Kids that age were riding in the front seat back then without the child car seat. Right in front of the radio and 8 track tape deck with the tapes in the console between the seats. We didn't even have to buckle up back then!
Mykolegee Galaviz Amen..
Music slowly started 'sucking' after the 70's. No talent needed when all you had to do was scream and strum a guitar or bang a drum. (Not much lyric's and NO understandable melody, hardly at all)
Dean Tomlinson - No bicycle helmets nor "safety" labels on electrical cords, etc. Just live life straight ahead !
Why has it took me 40 years to realise how good this song is, always loved it ,now
My god Musicians back then knew how to put down a track
Wow..this song is timeless. Beautiful . Love it.
The lyrics, melody and rythium is outstanding. Only if today's bands and post 1990 bands can learn from such talented bands from the '70s and '80s.
I have and still love listening to Exile, your right they can stand to learn from the band's of the 70's and 80's
+ScorpioBornIn69 I doubt that anyone can give a precise and thoroughly acceptable explanation as to why so much of the older music simply seems 'better', but that sentiment comes up on virtually every video comment section for 1970s songs in particular.
I'm a musician, albeit not one on tour or in the studio for a paycheck, but I do play, and I have a 'good ear'. I don't think there's a lack of talented players today. There never has been. There are certainly many marginal 'talents' out there, but I believe that the dullness in music today is a matter of shifts in culture, values, the general speed of living in today's world -- a lot of social factors that are driving music and every other industry. Times have not so simply changed. Unfortunately, I'd agree that much of the changes reflected in modern music add up to a large amount of shitty material being pumped out. It's a perfect marriage of crass commercialism and insipid artists with nothing magical to say. This is the product of living in times where technology is godlike and gadgets are revered as portals to freedom.
Puritanical parents decried Elvis and the sinful changes he brought forth on the music scene. Woodstock-era music was steeped in Vietnam War influences and calls for cultural awakening. Music today seems hollow and in need of 'purpose'. Thankfully the indie music scene and broad outlets like RUclips have opened up the floodgates and wrested totalitarian control from the Record Industry. That said, I can't stand a lot of the homogenous, whiny, bearded hipster and NoraJones near-clone groups and solo acts that have emerged as a result of the simultaneously shrinking and expanding world of mass communication.
I've quoted Duke Ellington many times, via Peter Schickele: "If it sounds good, it is good." Therein lies the rub, because musical appreciation will forever be a totally subjective matter. I will always return to the greats from bygone decades, and I'll have new favorites as well, but the latter seem like they will be far fewer in number.
theoriginalbillholt What I have been seeing and noticing is that today's music and not only today but the past 25 years is the lack of talent of it all. To make it sound 'good' it must not have dull, stale lyrics which it has along with lack of melody, sounding too much alike and with little or no rythum. I see very little of it from post 1990 music since rap/hip hop and grunge alternative music became mainstream in the early '90s. There are just 'some' good ones out there however take up a small percent of the current mainstream music. If there is truly any talent out there, I would hear far more of it in today's music with great lyrics, melody and rythum and most of not sounding all alike. Pre1990 bands produced and made different sounds of their own music, therefore you can tell who it is. Not the case with today's music. And also bands long ago wrote their own music. Today, big corporations do most of the producing and making.
I know...the shit nowadays is literally shit. Let's have some big band era music too. just garbage on the radio now.
Well said!
My boyfriend and I wore this song out ...and each other ...in the 70's. Such a great love song and incredible music, too.

Yep! the Radio was full of many great songs for a bunch of years... This is among my favorite of favorite deeply embedded in the House of Holy Music!
Ronnie Watts
1978 was an "awesome" year for music? NEGATIVE! Disco, for Christ's sake! The friggin' Bee Gees and Andy Gibb! "Boogie Oogie Oogie"! " Le Freak"! My friends and I were praying for disco to go away. Thank God for Little Feat, Molly Hatchet, and Tom Petty.
Hell yeah !!
Yes, the year I was born😊
LOVE IT...this takes ya back to the good old days...😊😊😊
I totally forgot this song. Used to be one of my favorites... All of a sudden, out of the blue, it pops in my head. So glad it did... Back when music was music.
Without a doubt, the 70s was the greatest decade of music. Practically every genre was producing classic albums.
70's were good but 80's more dynamic
No doubt the 70s and 80s music is the best ever from country to disco to easy listening.
I agree. They haven't made music like this since.
I most certainly agree!!
The 70's was the best decade ever. The 80's were awful, barely one song worth keeping! The 70's were insane from the variety of hard rock to this kind of music to disco, it was an insane decade.
Back When this song was on the radio I was too young, 14-15, to have a clue what the lyrics meant but I knew I wanted desperately to grow up and experience it. And I wanted to know what it feels like to kiss a girl and be with a girl. Best times of my life. Thank you, God for blessing me.
Incredible vocals, gives chills.
These 70s Love Songs bring out a deeper level of emotion I do not find in too many other genres and that my friends really touches the very core of my spiritual being!!!!!!!
I still love this song even though I am 77 years old!!!

I teach 6th grade General music. It is amazing how many kids of today know the music of the 70;s and 80s... so many times I would play a tune and they would say, "hey, we know that".. many times kids will sing along. It shocks them when I tell them that the music is 40 + years old -
Very true.My son is 21 and he likes and bought cd of Alan Parsons Project.
Ron, blessed are the teachers.
