- When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Ah, the California girls are the greatest in the world
Each one's a song in the making
Singin' rock to me I can hear the melody
The story is there for the takin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
When the lights go down in the California town
People are in for the evening
I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
Drivin' over Kanan, singin' to my soul
There's people out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold
People out there turnin' music into gold, into gold

I used to sing on the road with John Stewart and sang GOLD every night on tour....I did the "Stevie" part....and occasionally Lindsey Buckingham used to show up and sit in with the band. Quite a memory....GOLD....
It was a big part for me in the late 70s I worked at a carwash drying cars for tips I was only 12 or 13 at the time remember falling asleep at night hearing these songs love the 70s but thanks for your share John will always be remembered for more than just a song thanks again be well
Great song karen
Thanks for sharing your experience. This is a great song. He sounds a bit like Johnny Cash.
Very impressive. Stevie is a challenge when it comes to vocals.
Chris Milburn that’s what I thought. He does sound like Johnny.
Still rockin at 73 and won't stop.
I'm 55 I'm offically a senior. The new senior is 55 whats drag. I dont feel 55, only sometimes after work. I'm still in ship shape, been working out for over 40 years. And im still rocking in the 20th century, frankly its a better and different time. People spoke differntly had different attuittudes. Way of living back then is different, a groovy time to be in. I miss It a lot, life simpler. Dont cause any waves. Down by the way side
Well my Page at 94 is rocking today . Loving the gold
I'm almost 60 years old. GOD I wish I could go back to the 70's when I was a teenager
I'll be 60 in July , I hear ya!
I know what you mean dude. My 17 year old teen age son said to me , "Dad why are you crying?" I told him I used to sing this song with my friends as we were cruising and trying to pick up girls with a Mr. Microphone. Where did the time go? It seems like the 70s went by too fast. My son replied " Ok boomer!" Sigh... These kids with their iPhones do not understand life before the internet!
👌
I'm 58 and know how you feel. To me it was the 80s I long for, but still to be young and have your life ahead of you.
Me too.
That bass line at the beginning is killer. In fact the whole song is a classic
Nd the you had MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA THAT WAS DUBBED THE HIT RECORDING CAPITOL OF THE WORLD IN THE 60S AAND 70S!
❤this song always rocks
Can't Wait
Stewart had this "Johnny Cash" vibe to his voice.
GREETINGS FROM ARKANSAS I WAS AROUND 11 YEARS OF AGE WHEN THIS CAME OUT THE US IS A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF REALLY BAD NOW AND MANY WOMEN DRESS PROVOCATIVLY WITH NO CLASS OR SELF RESPECT NO GOD....THEY ARE FOOLS AND ATTRACTING THE WRONG KINDS OF MEN AND PEOPLE GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
I was looking for this song and thought it was Johnny. So I kept looking and came back and realized it was the one, lol.
GREETINGS FROM KENTUCKY THEY DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS NOBODY HAS MORALS AND WOMEN ARE SO PROVOCATIVE IN THE SECULAR MOVIES AND MUSIC INDUSTRY IS A DISGRACE LOTTO LOTTO NARCISSISTIC MEN MISOGYNISTIC ALSO THAT VIEW WOMEN AS SEX OBJECTS WHILE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S BECAUSE OF THE CULTURE AND HOW THE RAISIN IS THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE ARE NOT RAISING THEIR CHILDREN TO BE COMPASSIONATE TO HELP OTHERS AND HAVE SELF-RESPECT
Old Music Will Always Be Gold
You got that right. Still have all those 45s and LPs. They're not going anywhere.
Fucking rights, I still got the 45, he's from Kingston trio
I was 23 and going to Long Beach State university. I cranked this up when it came on the radio!
This song instantly transports me back to my youth. Definitely a classic.
Me too! This is one of the earliest songs I remember hearing in my life.
Me too
@YTCensors Yute is how a person from Jersey says youth..lol
Beverly Merrick, I was 10 and in the 4th grade in 1979, funny 🤣 thing @ back-to-school season as the song was at its apex, I was reading Judy Blume's "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing."
Right
Sitting by my pool with my wife, drinking beer, watching storms roll in with Gold up loud. Perfection
I grew up in this era. Your wife is a cool chick. Enjoy it!
Yuppies.
Omg thats a fantasy moment in time🌴🎸🎶💰🍻📀⚡☁☔💦
Why hell yes.
I love a good beer just as much as I love a good storm. Enjoy
This song is 40 years old and it still rocks!👍👍👍👍
You got that right Shawn....that was the year I graduated HS !
I did too bro!😄👍"We are tough , we are fine , we're the class of '79!
So does Stevie Nicks, and she's 71 now !
@@eddiedillon2037 I graduated in 1979, too.
it's 40 years old..
Those were the days. This song will be turning heads fifty years from now.
No doubt!
It's got a mysterious, almost spooky sound to it. I've always gravitated to such songs. Loved this song when I was a kid back in '79.
I was 9 when this came out!!!😍😍😍I miss those days so much
Spooky is good. Especially if you consider what was going on with California back in 79. In hindsight it was bad
@@bigpaulie806 wat happened
@@michellelovesanimals2237 Lawrence Bittaker. May his victims rest in peace
@@bigpaulie806 i will look it up now..thnx
I'm a hard rock/metal singer/ guitarist/songwriter and this was my favorite song when I was 9 in 1979. God bless John Stewart and Stevie Nicks.
Linddey playing b guitar on this also!
I was 17 when this song came out back in ‘79. I always liked listening to the song because it had an interesting vibe! Now I’m 60 and still enjoy listening to this tune!
Same here.
I was nine back in ‘79. Now at fifty one, I am nostalgic for music from the late 70s/early 80s. 1981 is very good, too!
Gonna try it tonight at karaoke!!
me too
Tune Rocks .
I still have this 45 ~ NO lie!
me too
So do I as well as his follow up song "Midnight Wind".
This song's also a part of my childhood. Stevie Nicks' contributions made this song the true classic that it's become.
Still one of the best songs ever
in the words of Greg Kihn "they dont wtite em like that anymore"
wow ! another awesome song ! thanks ya'll !! next on my que !!
That’s the truth .
Yep, and another great song
Music was better back then, it was a differnt sound. And back then producer and the artist knew how to write good music. Todays music is computer rigged, autotune bull shit thats not talent its just plain stupid. Todays music is about, sex, evil, violence, disrespect. Todays music is about, money, looks, and fame, with no talent.
Haha! In the column to the right, that IS one of the suggested songs!
I am stuck in the 70s and life is good
Never gets old!
One of my all-time favorite songs from my teenage years. I was 14 in 1979. This is a great tune for driving......and having Stevie Nicks on background vocals was a great idea.
Same here, I was 14
Mike Campbell on guitar also
Don't forget Lindsey Buckingham on guitar too!
@@Frankcastlepunisher74 That was Mike Campbell on guitar with Stevie Petty's guitarist
I was 14 in 1979 too
I'm a Millennial but I greatly appreciate this music with all my heart and soul. 80s and 90s are my favorite but I still like 70s. This is back when music made sense, and had much more meaning to it than today's profane and effortless garbage...
This music means more to us than just simple nostalgia, it was our _life,_ our _spirit._ I thank God it is still preserved and loved today!
Brie Summers glad you’re smart enough to realize that 👍🏼 I don’t even know what the latest songs are, cause it’s such garbage
Thank you brie. l am a gen x. your post was a joy to read. for so many reasons.
Brie...I think you have a bright future ahead of you...
Thank you all so much for your kind responses, you inspire me too! I'm practicing guitar again, and still at the beginner's level, but I'll keep at it. Queen is my favorite band of all time(and the greatest band of all time of course!) 🤩
With the inspiration of my heroes and you to support me, I'll make great music one day...
Thanks so much again! Long Live Rock!
The 70's had very good music, the early 70's were mainly mellow and funky, then disco arrived in 1974 and mix it with rock tunes like this and the rest is history!!
The nostalgia of this song takes me back to my youth when times were carefree and much simpler than the rat race I'm in today.
Ditto!
Barnes Randall great point... the 1970's was an amazing time to grow up!
well, yeah. It's supposed to be easier when you're a kid. The parents get to deal with the rat race. :)
Very true 60's ,70'and early 80 ,
Hellyeah
Listening in 2024 still love it
Old classics like this bring this old guy to tears. We had such great music when we were younger.
Timeless
👍
I am. May 2024.
And turn gold to Peruvian flake.
KBCO, 1980
I read that John Stewart himself grew weary of this song, but he was too hard on himself. This song deserves its classic status. May JS rest in peace in Rock & Roll Heaven.
Picked up my grandson one night from a party.Car windows down ,with this track playing he asks me who's this? This is so cool. Gold son........Gold...... . . . .
First time I heard this song, I was in fifth grade in 1979. A girl in my class, Kim, danced to this song , in the fifth grade talent show. I remember it like it was yesterday. Somethings a man never forgets…
One hell of a song to listen to rolling up down the road
Especially when heading to the beach on Kanan Road.
Sounds like Johnny Cash, I was 15 when this came out, This is one of the best songs of 1979 which was a great year for music.
One of the best years ever. I too was 15.
1978-1983 was one of the best time periods of music. If you look beyond most disco there were so many great hits that just about everyone knows and loves. New Wave was just getting started and still had its fun punk roots, power pop mixed well with them as well some great rock music. Very prolific years for great music!
No way, it sounds like Jim Morrison!!!
One of the best songs from the 70's, sounds way better than today's "music".
Rumor has they’re still turning music into gold
I don't doubt that some who made it big in music were inspired by this song when they had little or nothing.
Speaking of Rumours,did you know Stevie Nicks sings back up on this song?
@@jeffreyp1957 I sure do
No. Turning music into Bitcoin.
Not anymore. Today's music is one lump of satanic crap.
Stevie Nicks can Sing with anyone!
+Mark Moore if stevie offered to touch me in my "special place"....I would have to come up with a really good excuse to say no....just sayin`....
So could I, but no one would want to hear it.
Apparently no ego about it either. "Stevie would you sing on my song with me?" "Sure!" All the more fortunate for us!
The goat lady
I Love stevie Nicks ♡♡♡♡ wheres all my 70s babies at😎😎
People out there like John & Stevie turning music into goosebumps... almost forgot this 4 1/2 minutes of pure glory. 💞💃
This was a GREAT song, and Stevie was the Celebrity Love of my Life . . . I saw her LIVE in 1976, with Fleetwood Mac . . . OMG, she is a Goddess . . . when she does "Rhiannon", she BECOMES "Rhiannon" . . . you have to see it !!!
My sister and bought this 45 record when it came out in 1979 I was 11 she was 10 we loved this song. Stevie Nicks singing backup.
You`re never too old to Rock & Roll
READING SOME KENTUCKY AGE IS JUST A NUMBER AND BEAUTY IS A MATTER OF OPINION
One of my favorite songs of ALL TIME! Love hearing Stevie Nicks and John Stewarts voices, alongside the way tune of this song sounds combined with all the synthesizers as well! I have always said since childhood that this song is VERY futuristic and mystical sounding at the same time! LOVE IT! Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac are also one of my many favorites of ALL time as well!
This song is gold.
What a beat, what lyrics, what voices, what a song! Makes me grateful for my hearing 🙏
I also loved this song I was also 15 in 1979
RIP John Stewart. Great song, you can really hear Stevie Nicks in the background vocals.
specifically written, arranged, & produced to capitalize on the Mac connection...Sounds like an outtake from Rumours
@@Tarantulisimo, thank goodness they willingly gave John Stewart the opportunity to capitalize on their fame. They did it to help their friends and their musical idols. Lindsey and Stevie recognized John Stewart as a musical influence before they joined Fleetwood Mac. They were more than happy the give back to him, which this song evidences splendidly.
@@blemelin John Stewart penned 'Liddy Buck' as an ode to Lindsey Buckingham, while Lindsey returned the favor with 'Johnny Stew.' Both are good, but I really like Liddy Buck, a song about Lindsey wanting to jump ship on Fleetwood Mac and pursue his own goals. Worth the time to look up both songs if you're Stewart or Buckingham/Mac fans.
Love Stevie !
Gives it more quality
My memory of this song is electrified with visions of lights flickering on the boulevard, people dancing, and dogs barking in the distance.
Thank you John and Stevie.
🎉
Turned 11 years old summer of 1979 where the hell the time went this is 2024 I'm going to be 56 this upcoming summer
Happy birthday!!
13 yrs for me
I'll be 77 in October & I'm still listening to rock & roll - sometimes with a Jack & Coke - still riding motorcycles (the ones that go fast) hang in there my friend - stay young at heart & don't ever give up - Happy Birthday ;-)
My husband was singing this song today, I had forgotten all about it. It's a great song, thanks for loading it. I don't know what we would do without people like you that do all the work so we can enjoy the music we love. 😃
lynda....music is what keeps us sane and going everyday
@@rickflood8360 You're right. A really good old song helps us to slow life down, even for just 3 or 4 minutes.
I hear ya! 👍
Lynda Howard, you should have recorded him singing this and post on RUclips.
70's was the BEST decade for music
I drove my parents and siblings to the point of insanity as l played this masterpiece so much. It still affects them 44 years on whenever they hear it.
Will always love this song. John and Stevie’s voices together are fire 🔥 👍🏼💖
Stevie could sing with anyone. She sang with Tom Petty, another great that could sing with anyone.
GREETINGS FROM ARKANSAS STEVI NICKS WAS IS OVERATTED SHE HAD A UNIQUE VOICE BUT NO LACKED PERSONALITY AND CLASS AND MORALS UN COOL SECULAR PEOPLE SHE NEEDED A GOOD HAIR CUT...SHE IS SELFISH PERSON A NARCIISSIT LIKE MANY HERE IN THE USA NO GOD
John Stewart’s long-awaited breakthrough as a recording artist in his own right. Prior to this, he was only known as a member of the Kingston Trio during their waning years and as the composer of the Monkees hit Daydream Believer. After the Kingston Trio split up in 1967, he struggled for over a decade releasing albums on several labels without much success. Finally, with the help of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, he finally got his own hits.
What's really sad Captain is that Stewart was good at what he did & he struggled. He had a reputation, he had lyrics, he had the music, he could sing, he was a good-looking guy, and still he sat on the sidelines for a long time.
His success was short-lived but probably good enough to maintain a loyal audience. I always liked him and everything you stated was true. Bothered me when he died. I thought he would always come out with some more wonderful songs, or join a trio of other singer-songwriters -- I could see John with the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Dion DiMucci & John Prine but now even Prine is gone.
Let's remember that The Kingston Trio hit #1 in 1959 with TOM DOOLEY. John Stewart was the principal songwriter. 20 years later, this solo song peaked at #5.
@@jameswilson7790 But John Stewart wasn’t in the Kingston Trio when Tom Dooley was a hit in 1958. He wouldn’t join until 1963, when he replaced David Guard. With John, they had a few more hits like Greenback Dollar and Reverend Mr. Black, but soon afterwards their commercial fortunes faded with the advent of the Beatles-led British Invasion and they were deemed too old school for the new wave of Bob Dylan-inspired folk rock protesters movement.
Once you hear this song you'll never forget it. I heard it in home Depot and googled it. It sounded familiar like it's been 35+ year's since I heard it.
I was 18 and running around in my 69 Chevelle SS. Great song and a great year.
Steve Thacker IKR, AWESOME tune and a HOT ASS CAR!!! RIGHT ON STEVE those where the days without a care in the world..🌏✌💜😂💯♌
I hope you still have that car!!!!
Steve Thacker , I had a 68'dart 340 with 3x2 barrels and a 4 speed and was 18.

i love this song i never get tired of it
Jolene...I agree....I usually turn up the volume when I hear it on the radio
Wicked driving tune, sure miss real music!
definitely
Quintessential! Just drove home to it once again about 20mins ago... Had to come here to find a link and share it
Me too.
John Stewart replaced Dave Guard in the K.T and rode success with them until the end
Well, I must say, thank God for RUclips, so I can pull up gems like this. Please, young musicians, get in the groove, (record, that is) and either do your own arrangements of songs like this, or give today’s youth and we 70 yr. old, “old farts”, something to chill out to???? Thank you all, and God Bless! By the way, a young Nashville based, college groove band, formerly called “Baby Blue, but now just “The Joe Logan Band”, is doing just that!!! When some one, (pre covid 19 era) asked them to play some Fleetwood Mac, Joe asked in reply, which era? Peter Greene, or Buckingham, Nicks, which confused the enquirer, but Joe, (in his early 20’s) explained that as good as Fleetwood Mac is, they were originally a Blues Band, when they were youngsters themselves! Oddly I only get to see them once a year, here locally, in Kennesaw, Ga., but my mind revels in the treat of great music, played by young folks, rather than guys older than me, albeit, God Bless them, nonetheless for carrying the torch onward to this day! Peace and love y’all, from a 30 plus year USAF VET. Too Tall, Blues Fan from GA. Life’s been in 24 year cycles for me, 24 years single, 24 years married and now 24 years divorced. ALA Neil Young’s “OLD MAN”..!!! 24 and there’s so much more...!!! Music has been there the whole ride!!!
From failing out of college to serving our great Nation in the US Army, this was playing on my car cassette deck
Love that he is the writer of “Daydream Believer,” as well as being in The Kingston Trio and having a solo career.
Kelly Cairns you should hear his own version of Daydream Believer. It’s funny
Kelly Cairns thought diamond wrote that! How wrong can one be!
@@kattoneycliffe6715 Neil Diamond wrote another big hit for the Monkees called "I'm a Believer."
OMG!!!I didn't know he wrote Daydream believer.
Unmistakably, one of my favorite songs from the great summer of 1979, when almost everything on the radio started to sound like the 80s were on the way
Ugh.
This and DRIVERS SEAT
@@pmccservices Just take your place in the drug scene.....
Exactly what I've always said. 1979 was a super year for songs and a foretelling of the decade of the 80s. It rivals my decade of the 60s.
Young people today need to hear songs like this and know what it was like to work for $2.50 per hour. Without complaining because we listened to great music while we worked hard in those days. 😀
Cats Claw that wasn’t real terrible pay in 1979.
Dee M nope. I remember making $3.75 an hour in 1989 and it was enough to rent a nice 1 bedroom apartment, make a car payment and eat fast food frequently. Now I make $20 an hour and it doesn’t go as far.
Can we at least adjust for inflation?
@@danieldaniels7571 ~ 👍 Been there, done that. Now, you can be making $15 an hour and are barely able to make the rent, because everything else is so expensive...
And of course 2.50 dollars had more vapue back then...
An all-time favorite of mine. I LOVE Stevie Nicks back-up work...EXCELLENT!
I was 10 years old when this song came out back in '79. It was one 45 that got played quite often on my turntable. Not so much for the fact that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham participated in it. But more so for the lyric "There's people out there turning music into gold," because there are singer-songwriters out there who do this all the time. And this was definitely one song that John turned into "Gold."
I was 12 myself that year. 1979 is my second favorite year in music. '81 being in first place, for me of course...
i was born in the wrong era for music thank god for the internet the 70s music rock. and mouth and macneal love it everytime just like this song.. go stevie I melt when I hear her even today
The internet is basically the only good thing we have today, and only for science and old music lol
1979 sure had some great music. This is one of them!! 70's rock!
oldiesmusic76
CORRECT!!!!
✌️✌️✌️✌️
This has gotta be on some "GREATEST HITS" LIST!
I know it's on mine!
Juliette.....oh yeah......u got that right.......left California in 79...after serving a year and a half there in the Marines.....
Fantastic tune!
I love this song so much. Hadn’t heard it for YEARS and when it came on the radio yesterday it’s like a missing piece returned to me
Sames I was listening to a throwback show Casey Kasem countdown & it was so cool they don’t play this one anymore. Used to sit with my tape recorder as a little kid next to the radio every countdown big event of the week:)
Absolutely. Heard it last Saturday on the radio after so many years. Used to dance to this back in the day
Nine years old... watching the sun set behind the San Gabriels in the distance.
This is why music is eternally adored across the globe... you can teleport to any point in time, and no one is truly gone when at any moment they can be loud and clear through the speakers. 🎼😇🎶
Well said friend in music. Hamilton Ontario Canada waving. 73s
This song is gold, what a blessing it is to find new (to me) classics like this, fyi I’m 34
This song and Fogelberg's "Power of Gold" are just pure late 70's perfection.
Yes ! Dan was anther great one !
Was Fire on the Mountain '70s? Another underrated gem.
Stevie Nicks' backing vocals are always a haunting touch.
I recorded this song on an old tape deck off the radio and played it over and over wen i was 13. Now 59 and still lovin it
Can’t miss Stevie in the background! You go girl!
A great song!
I was 12 in 1979.... Really liked this song way back then, still can remember all the lyrics after not hearing it for years... 😊
I was 16 in 1979.... Really liked this song way back then, still remember all the lyrics after not hearing it for Yrs.
I was 2. But my parents said that I always listened to it in awe.
There's people out there turnin' music into gold. Il y a des gens là-bas qui transforment la musique en or. GOLD😊❤
I always loved this song!
Still sounds great today? Australia 2024 🦘

When I first heard this song in 1979, some friends and I were being driven to a summer camp. We started laughing like hell because of the voice and we wondered, "Okay, WTF is this?! It's a gag, right?"
Many years later, I still understand the power of this song. This isn't just a song; it's a testament, to all the people of the world who just wanted to become music stars - and who still want to today.
Turning music into gold... a very rare gift to the music world.
The voice is pretty good as far as I can tell. Then again being younger I've heard worse with the trash anyone can now upload to the internet
@@lonelylad9818 He had sort of a Johnny Cash feel to him when we first heard it. It certainly didn't belong on the R&R station we were listening to, that's for sure.
And then, surprisingly, it fit perfectly.
One of my all-time favorite songs from one of the favorite and most memorable years of my life. One of the reasons why 1979 rocked!
Woke up with this song in my mind. I probably haven’t heard it since I was 7 (1979) Shared it with my son and he loved it.
Stevie can never hide that one in a million voice in a background voice. We hear ya Stevie!! God gave to you with both HANDS baby GIRL!!!🎼🎼🎼🎼🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Sandy...I have Stevie Nicks as the top female rock performer of the 70's....super voice
GREETINGS YOU MUST BE KIDDING STEVIE NICKS OVERATTED SHE IS NO MARIE OSMOND OR BARBARA STRIEND OR ELLA FITGERALD STEVE LOOKS ARE UNCLASSY NOT VERY CATTR SHE LOOKED BETTER IN SHORT HAIR...STEVE LACKED MORALS NO CLASS THEY NEED GPOD THEY SELFISH SECULAR PEOPLE ALL AVOUT MONEY
Man,14 yrs old in 79 and jammed to this on CKXL in Calgary!
Laying in bed at night with my earphone in listening to my AM radio falling asleep can remember this song Good Times Gone by I was only 12 years old I was working at a car wash drying cars not that far removed from the song he was pumping gas, the way he took his life was sad...
Bought this on '45 back in '79. Cherished it ever since. Still have it in the collection in 2019.
silent...wow...the 45's......I had a stack of them in the 70's...but had more albums...sometimes you could only get a hit song on a 45...like Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy"....thanks for the memories
This song is such a classic. Stevie Nicks did an amazing job with this song with John Stewart. Love to hear another song by John & Stevie again
Love this song! I'm not old enough to remember when it was a big hit, but I worked in a grocery store in the late 90s where this would play on the radio (the store played the satellite 70s station continuously). I have to admit that I thought this was an overlooked Fleetwood Mac song with Stevie's backing vocals! Good memories.
I saw this guy live........acoustic..........more sound than I ever heard anywhere.
Awesome song , Sure brings back better good memories ❤🎉
That's John Stewart from the Kingston Trio, the California folk group. Lindsey Buckingham helped John make his music comeback with co-producing and playing guitar on the 1979 "Bombs Away Dream Babies" album. Stevie Nicks sang the duet on "Gold" and "Midnight Wind."
Rolland McGriggs
I have that album.
This was my older sister's favorite song....... sadly, she's passed on now. But she left me with her love for music, the best thing she could give me. Pat Poley, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my sis.
Sympathies Kim
Sorry about the loss of your sweet sis. Leaves a big hole to fill which often cannot be attained. Hugsssss.
1979...I'm 21 years old, in love and surfing in North Devon. I'm wearing a custom made wet suit and we are the beautiful people. ....Make the most of your youth oh young ones...it goes by so bloody fast, but boy was it good!
ruth....thanks for sharing a little bit of your life.....I lived every day "full throttle" when i was in California as a Marine back in 77-79...I was 22 in 79
Soo cool .watched on t.v. solid gold dancers
A super cool song if there ever was one. Kudos to Mr. Stewart for his excellent contribution to the music industry (and I've loved Ms. Nicks forever ❤ 💙 💜 ♥).
I am driving in my 1970 Monte Carlo, its cool out, windows down and I am doing 100mph. Yeah, its 1983.
hell yeh dude
100 mph? Did that twice--once in my friend's Camaro, once in a Cuda. Glad we both made it to be "older".
My friend hit a concrete pole at 70mph with a 70 monte he got tossed out by the windsheild ( no belt ) while it compressed he slid across a parking lot & then the car flew past him backwards & hit the building on that corner. He got out of that one with only a broken leg. He Bought a 71 camaro 3 weeks later.
The year is 2092, I've got a hot blonde cyborg riding in my car with the top down, dodging lightning floating in the clouds. I drop the hammer, free falling about 15,000 feet my blonde's top flew out the window listening to this song.
1983? Hmm I'd pass you up in my 1968 Pontiac Bonneville doing well over 140 mph with an 421 c.i. and tri power carbs... did it back in the day
Back in 1979 use to hear this song only 13 years but loved it since then 💕
Oh, to be a little girl in Humboldt County, California during 1979 again! Those were the days. So glad I still have this song to remind me about a good time in my life.
I was 12 yrs old when this came out. I remember seeing on solid gold! It came on Saturday afternoons . I’m now 51 yrs old. My how time flies by. I wish there was a time Machine to go back in time . When things where much simper .
You can go back if you believe in time travel head over to Montauk project on long Island New York...We can get you back on Disco dance floor of the 70's
Take care.
I had totally forgotten about this song, I was 21when it came out. Another one of my favorites you don't hear often on the radio
17 years old again, working on my 69 AMX. Sure wish I could have that all back again...
I was 24 and working on my 1969 GTO Judge?
This take me back. The top albums would be an eclectic mixture of gold. Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin. The Temptations. Johnny Cash, Smokey Robinson, David Bowie, The Eagles, Kiss, Van Halen, Bee Gees, Journey, Queen, Willy Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Earth Wind n Fire, Puablo Cruise Chicago, Cheap Trick, Bruce Sprinsteen, just so much great music all over the map in so many genres. What a time to be young and alive! I wish I could go back. How in the world did we end up where we are now. My god. 😂
I was 7 years old summer of 1979 when this song was popular it was on everyday in 1979. This was my favorite song well 1 of them anyway in 1979. thank you for uploading this
Nicole Freeman i love this song

I had the Ktel album that year, I was 10, my favorite song on the record.
79? Wow, I thought it came out in the 80's
CLASSIC!! I got into radio in 1984 to play songs like this! Hung up the headphones almost 25 years later and loved every bloody MINUTE of it!!
Class of 79. We had the best
Music 🎶, ever. As good as Gold .
Whoever arranged the synthesizer in this song was a piano genius. Great stuff
Believe it's Christine Mcvie
Not a synth, that's a true electric piano (Rhodes).
