      There is a lot of fantastic modern music, one just needs to look past what is mainstream and popular. People can enjoy older hits such as this and more niche modern music that isn't mainstream pop. It's a bit absurd to limit oneself to older music when there is fantastic music from every decade up until current day.

    My name is Wendy, I was born in 73, my parents loved the Association. We went to see them in concert at Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey IL when I was a kid. My brother and I were in the parking lot tossing a football, waiting for the concert to start, when a few guys came by and played with us. A bit later, while listening and enjoying my very first concert, one of the members of the Association, said this song is dedicated to a little girl who really knows how to play football. Then they played Windy! Right then I knew that song was for me! Its one of my most cherished memories! Thank you to the Association for that great moment in my life.

    35,000+ likes and 791 dislikes? I graduated high school in 1966 and college in 1970. Can you imagine a time when the radio was filled with stations all playing this sort of music? The music back then literally defined our lives. When I hear a song of some artist back in those days, I'll immediately have a flashback of somewhere or something I was doing at that time. Truly remarkable times. In our teens and early twenties, we hadn't the maturity or age to understand how fortunate we were. Only with 20/20 hindsight of 55+ years can I look and listen back and truly value what we had.

They are also one of the reasons why I consider the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll history. Priceless!

A back-to-back twosome hitting #1 that has rarely been equaled in any Summer, or in any season in the rock era! "Windy" written by a woman: Ruthann Friedman (then 23, b. Jul. 6, 1944), who can be heard singing at the fade-out, as she later told people; wrote the song in 20 minutes at David Crosby's house. .

      Those upbeat songs are so rare, but so needed to counteract the many sad or neutral songs that don't make you feel so good, as "Windy" (4 weeks at #1) counters so effectively! Along with The Doors equally infectious "Light My Fire" (3 weeks at #1) immediately following, these two giant songs in dominating 7 weeks of mid-1967 anchored one of the greatest Summers in rock history! "Windy" started the week ending July 1 through July 22, "Light My Fire" July 29-Aug. 12. And after that was The Beatles "All You Need is Love" for the one week, Aug. 19. Then "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry for 5 weeks (Aug. 26-Sep. 16). Look at all the wonderful #1 hits for 1967 here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Billboard_Hot_100_number_ones_of_1967.

      This was counter-culture music when it came out. It allowed all of us hippies to find some solace and some shelter from the Vietnam War, from the tensions that came about as Congress struggled to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, inflation was crazy, and music underwent a huge transformation sparked by the British Invasion.
      But it got us through, didn't it?
      We don't have bands and singers like that anymore, but we do have film, tape, and digital, and we have video images to back up the music.
      We, the children of the 60s have another important job to do right now. Are we up for it?
      I am.
      Record companies make records that people want to buy. Most of us, I posit, still have the bulk of our favorite music in storage or within reach. Ee aren't going to be big spenders because we don't need to buy much, and those of us on pensions can't afford to spend more on music than we need, which might just be a better system to play it on.
      We need to get the media behind us to stop playing all the bullshit music of today and start playing our music again.
      It's good protest music and we better get off the couch, turn off the TV and start protesting again before we lose all the retirement and health care we worked so hard to get.
      The tumes they are a-changin', and we need to get the times changing back to the best music ever written.
      Maybe we can change the world again to make it easier to bring the good people of the USA back closer to being a United States than a divided one.
      God knows that trump's ideas just keep making America worse for us. So we not just to resist, but to go back on the offensive by taking back the streets and showung that we still are a force to be delt with in the election booths and in the lines of stores who cater to us and not our grandchildren.
      It's possible if we want it enough.

      Wow, what a bill! Especially rare to see The Left Banke. I saw the Association a few times, starting in the mid-70s, and the BB's came around here a lot, but The Left Banke? Loved them, and never saw them until a couple of them re-formed the group in 2012. And then they were gone.

      Joe Osborn played the bass on this recording. Unlike the Association bass player that was shown in the video, Joe used a pick which gave his bass sound an unmistakable sound. You can hear it on many other recordings including the Grassroots "Midnight Confessions" and most of Ricky Nelson's recordings from about 1959-1964. (his hit making years)

    • @hjrhoades6053
      @hjrhoades6053 9 лет назад +5

      Most of the songs today don't say anything. Listen to "Everything that Touches You" by the Association or "Never My Love" or "We Love", "Cherish", "Requiem for the Masses"; the list goes on and on. These songs said something and the music encased them perfectly. You can tell they worked hard on their harmonies. There's nothing on the radio that comes close.

      @hjrhoades6053 9 лет назад +1

      Blarson, you hit it on the head. I saw stuff coming down the pike in the 80's with the New Wave and Punk rock movement that concerned me for the future of music, but I survived because I liked Def Leppard and TOTO, among others. (I hope you're not laughing!)

    • @hjrhoades6053
