I was four in '68 and remember and love most of these well. My little sister was born in '68. This Guy's in Love? Hello I love You? Hey Jude? Honey? Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay? Mrs Robinson? I still remember every lyric.
I was 18 when those great songs were on the charts. Loved every one of them, danced to them and knew all the lyrics. Music is life’s best gift. It can take you back to a place, a time and a special person.
OMG! I'm back in '68! 99% of these videos have 3 or 4 songs that were great and the rest of them are duds. NOT this one! I remember dancing to ALL of these! You hit the jackpot on this one! THANKS!!
No. "Grazin' in the Grass" was originally performed by South African trumpeter, fulgehornist, etc. Hugh Masekela...in 1968. The Friends of Distinction (lyrics written by FoD lead singer, Harry Elston) covered it for a hit...in 1969. Chao. Retired Vietnam era veteran, ex Detroiter, expatriate currently living in México and Colombia.
All are great songs, during a trying time, they made you feel good. Oh, for the country there's "harper valley PTA, Jeanie C Riley; thought you'd remember. Music is music. Enjoy peace
Hey Jude, of course...And Mrs Robinson, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Hello, I love you and that beautiful tune by Paul Mauriat Love is Blue.....All among the cannon of popular music...and timeless.
"Honey" i miss you. I adored that song as a child. It would bring tears to my eyes. Now, after being widowed for 5 yrs, after being married for 35 yrs, i feel as a small child that i experienced some of the pain then, that i would in the future. Widowhood is hard. I'd probably cry if i heard that entire song again.
I always thought " Grazing in the grass" was done by Friends of Distinction?!? Sister of Chanka Khan was in the group!!!💕💯🎶👋 Loriann Middlesex Cty NJ USA 🕊️
I like 7 songs out of 10 songs that were picked out for this TikTok including: The Beatles' "Hey Jude"; Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue"; Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"; The Rascals' "People Got To Be Free"; Herb Albert's "This Guy's In Love With You"; Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson"; Hugh Masekela's "Grazin' In The Grass". I also like most songs of that era, year, decade and of course most songs of yesteryear..
Grazing in the grass was number one by Hugh Masekela, as an Instrumental in 1968. The Friends of Distinction version you showed here was from 1969, and peaked at number 3 , I believe.
I was thirteen and me and my best friend Barbara Brown never went anywhere without my pocket AM FM transistor radio. It was about the size of a cell phone. 😊
It’s not that they were two versions of the same song, they are two completely different songs, one being an instrumental. The author of this video has mixed up the two “Grazing in the Grass” songs.
@@berwick777 No , the fact of the matter is they "were" two versions of the same song !!!! The melody was exactly the same just the tempo was different .... and of course with regards to the version by T.F.O.D. their version had lyrics where as Hugh Masekala's did not .
@@clementjohnson2666 all these years I thought they were two completely different songs. So after reading your post I went onto RUclips and listened to both songs over and over again, and I STILL can’t hear the same melody. So I then checked what Wikipedia said and it is in fact the same song. Why I can’t hear it I have no idea.
I do not think these songs were all known in Europe, never heard of the last two. I was 16. I worked during summer listening all day to the pirate station.
The only thing I want to know is why you would show the Friends Of Distinction in place of Hugh Masekela for grazing in the grass. For one it's downright misleading. And two, t's pretty damn disrespectful To Hugh Masekela, (may God rest his soul).😢😢😢😢😢😢
The 60’s and 70’s was the greatest time for all genres of music!
I completely agree.
Painful decades for a lot of folks. Out of that came great music. Relief.😊.
Amazing how all of these were a part of my childhood.

Me too. I graduated in 68 in Ft.Worth Texas.
Im with what your saying all the was. but try this one. I used a different bar soap and the scent took me back to southern CA 1983, what a great trip
I was 18 too. Difficult year
I was 16 and loved all of these.
What a list of amazing sounds and performers...now everyone now, "Tighten UP!"
i was born in 66 but love listening to this as a child and never stopped
I loved every single song that was played. I’m 5 yrs old again and I remember!
I remember, though days, sure do miss them.
Soo many memories. Great times. Could we go back in time?
I would love to go back in time, wonderful music and memories ,
When that song honey came on my mother started to cry as she thought of my dad who has passed on
My condolences to you and your family .
I heard that song everywhere I went after my husband passed in 2022
Great songs
Mrs. Robinson is the first song I remember learning. I was 5 years old. Whenever I hear it, it takes me right back.
OMG! I'm back in '68! 99% of these videos have 3 or 4 songs that were great and the rest of them are duds. NOT this one! I remember dancing to ALL of these! You hit the jackpot on this one! THANKS!!
1968, I was 13 yrs old. My favorite songs were "Love is Blue" and "Honey"
When songs had meaning, when you could feel the music in your ❤
My sister used to tear up every time she heard Honey by Bobby Goldsboro. Great music!
Me too
Great memories I was 18 thanks for sharing!
Hearing _Tighten Up_ makes me think of the old Pavillion at Myrtle Beach. And shaggin at those Beach Music nightclubs.
Great times!!
All these songs are great 👍🏼♥️ I was eight 😊
i was TEN years old in 67 67 and 68 two BEST YEARS in music i lean a LITTLE more to 68
I was born too late 😔, You folks were so blessed to have the best years in music history ....60s and 70s ✨
Love the Era of music 🎶 60s and 70s ❤❤❤❤
Tighten up now, Archie Bell and the Drells....Grazing in the Grass was by the friends of distinction....
That's definitely "The Friends of Distinction" in the video clip, and their cover came out in 1969, not 68.
No.
"Grazin' in the Grass" was originally performed by South African trumpeter, fulgehornist, etc. Hugh Masekela...in 1968.
The Friends of Distinction (lyrics written by FoD lead singer, Harry Elston) covered it for a hit...in 1969.

@andreb.thomas5926 I believe the o.p. was pointing out that the video clip was of Friends of Distinction and misidentified as Hugh.
All of them except "Honey" are timeless classics!!❤❤❤❤❤
I disagree I think Honey was just as magnificent as the rest.
All are great songs, during a trying time, they made you feel good. Oh, for the country there's "harper valley PTA, Jeanie C Riley; thought you'd remember. Music is music. Enjoy peace
Beautiful Days, i remember all these songs played on the radio, peaceful times n simple ❤
The '60s was a fantastic music Renaissance
... we not only sing, but we dance as good as we walk.
Thanks for sharing these memories
Hey Jude, of course...And Mrs Robinson, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Hello, I love you and that beautiful tune by Paul Mauriat Love is Blue.....All among the cannon of popular music...and timeless.
"Honey" i miss you.

Graduated college in ‘68. Good music
As a preteen I loved all those song back in the day, especially Hey Jude, Sitting on Dock of the Bay and Grazing in the Grass.
The year I was born. Great songs
Those bring back memories!!
Many still my favorites today.
The birds darting in and out of the trees. Oops, one of them got me. Splat !!
What we saw here from Simon & Garfunkel was from much later on. Their famous Central Park concert !
Was 10 that year I remember leasing to them on the radio I love them ❤❤
Hey Jude 👑
Each one has its own special memory
1968 gets a 👍. All but one is singed into my brain.
I always thought " Grazing in the grass" was done by Friends of Distinction?!? Sister of Chanka Khan was in the group!!!💕💯🎶👋 Loriann Middlesex Cty NJ USA 🕊️
Back when people would tell stories in their music…… and you could sing along if you wanted.
Two of these were my major favorites while stationed in Germany before shipping to Vietnam in 1969
Soundtrack of my youth. I was 16. Where did it all go?
Otis Redding! That's still one of my favorite songs!
I like 7 songs out of 10 songs that were picked out for this TikTok including: The Beatles' "Hey Jude"; Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue"; Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"; The Rascals' "People Got To Be Free"; Herb Albert's "This Guy's In Love With You"; Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson"; Hugh Masekela's "Grazin' In The Grass". I also like most songs of that era, year, decade and of course most songs of yesteryear..
Music was so much more enjoyable then.
This is good one!
Totally Cool 🎶🎵 😊❤🎉
Liked them all.
The yeat my dad graduated from high school the 60s and 70s were good
Grazing in the grass was number one by Hugh Masekela, as an Instrumental in 1968. The Friends of Distinction version you showed here was from 1969, and peaked at number 3 , I believe.
I was 12 and listened to these songs on my pocket transistor radio that was hanging from my bicycle handlebars.
I was thirteen and me and my best friend Barbara Brown never went anywhere without my pocket AM FM transistor radio. It was about the size of a cell phone. 😊
Reminds me of yesterday
That was an awesome year.
"Honey" always makes me cry buckets.
Love it
Hugh Masekala's version came out in 1968 . The version by The Friends Of Distinction came out in 1972 . !!!!
It’s not that they were two versions of the same song, they are two completely different songs, one being an instrumental. The author of this video has mixed up the two “Grazing in the Grass” songs.

Love Is Blue….❤
Back when the charts were truly eclectic hey put that hamburger down❤
Mistake on Grazing in the Grass. This version is The Friends of Distinction.
Massachusetts Bee gees! Massive no 1!
Otis Redding, the best of the bunch.
❤❤
Yeah 1968!!
First time I've ever seen Archie Bell.
Otis never knew DOCK OF THE BAY hit #1.❤❤❤😢😢😢
The Doors all the way for me
They showed the Friends of Distinction version of Grazing in the Grass.
Grazin in the grass is funny especially when your high
Tighten up on that organ!
Mr. Mojorison
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Most all songs were great and life was beautiful and sex was dirty and I was 15 life was magical riding my motorcycle
I do not think these songs were all known in Europe, never heard of the last two. I was 16. I worked during summer listening all day to the pirate station.
Could never understand the attraction of "Hey Jude"
Google what the song is about
...kinda sad
Aww. No "Race With The Devil" by the band Gun. Not a hit of course but a real banger for its time.
That's a good tune to mention. I was going to comment about Arthur Brown's album which I believe came out in 1968
Ottis S&G and Jim
Crimson and Clover
Wrong with several.
Honey…. ❤
1968
Light my Fire was 1967.
This guys in love with you ONLY one I liked
Paul McCartney knows he is cute as fck
