Girls in those days were more evolved emotionally, more beautiful and stylish, more appealing aesthetically....what a joy to behold, so refreshing and liberating to the spirit. They were not vulgar at all, just sweet, nice and groovy.
That wasn't how it was viewed at the time. It was seen as symptomatic of moral degeneration by a critical mass of people who's views were still broadly in line with people such as Mary Whitehouse. Your rose-tinted view of the world has somehow recast this as wholesome, when it's really nothing more than titilation set to dumbed-down music that's willfully antithetical to the highest cultural standards set by the 19th Century classical canon. Don't get me wrong: THIS is why I think TOTP was great. it stuck two fingers up to those values and by doing so forced people to defend them. Humanity is accelerated by conflict.
Right with you brother... better days by far even though the world was just as crazy! Social media narcissism ruined any chance of kids being that carefree now.
Me too, Susan, I graduated in 1970 too! Except for the 4 college kids being killed at Kent State, Ohio after Nixon ordered open fire carried out by America’s ROTC and the Vietnam War, it was a great time to be alive! The music we listened to will never be duplicated! ❤️🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🥁🎹🎺🎻
I was only 5 years old back then but what I will say is the girls are 100 times better looking than today's freak shows They had normal healthy figures, normal lips. Normal breasts ,normal teeth and their own hair not extensions and no multiple tattoos What a shame a lot of girls and woman cannot appreciate natural beauty
You are absolutely right and virtually no tattoos, yet some critics have the nerve to slate this decade, saying what a bad immoral time it was. I'm glad that I was young during this time.
I understand what you are saying, but I cannot help smiling at the awkwardness of the girl in the dress with the hideously large and rounded collar at approx. 0:56 sec mark.
😇I used to have TOTP compilation albums, which I bought from Woolworths with my pocket money for about 50p, and they usually had one of the Pan's ladies on the cover, in a crochet top and boots, and not much else!🤣 Happy days!
What makes you think it was any different in any other era? You weren't young in any other era so you have no grounds for comparison. It's being young that makes you blessed, not the decade you were young in
Very profound, but I've seen photos of previous generations and I've seen two (maybe even three) generations of youngsters grow up, and judging by the lard-arsed young tattooed ladies waddling around where I live I still think i saw the best. Would I like to be 17 again? Of course, but only if I could be 17 again in 1970.
Lonette whenever someone starting telling women they were oppressed and could do whatever they wanted and expect people to respect it. Feminism ruined everything. It is evil.
I wonder if any of these girls have seen this video. My guess is probably not. 50 years ago is a long time to hold on to an event that probably didn't make a significant change in their life. I hope at least one of them gets to see how good they looked in that era of their life.
@@AnnaD25 yes, do you believe it! I used to iron my hair too! I remember the smell of my hair burning making me sick! But it worked! Those were the days my friend!🥰❤️✌️☮️🕊
ROY MIDDLETON Sorry but your are wrong! Haven't you heard Savile used TOTP show to find sexual conquests! There is an interview with Francis Rossi of the Quo (who appeared on that show literally 100's of times) say Savile was having sex on the set. Also read Dan Davies about Savile! Glad to be of help! Don't mention it!
I believe that same lady appears in two other TOTP scenes, once in a white minidress with black belt and another time in a black mini dress with white belt. She seems to get the most comments every time.
Great days, TOTP on Thursday night, youth club on Friday night, no tattoo's, no fatties, just beautiful girls with legs that went on and on, what a time to be a teenager.
They kept looping certain sections but it's a great piece of history of that time. It's funny to see the contrast between the professional dancers and the pretty girls from the audience they picked. The girl in the centre seems scared to move (they probably told her to stand on this sport and DON'T MOVE'). My favourite is the girl in the white boots behind the bars on the right. She was a 10 for sure! :-)
Great movement from a lot of the dancers, but most of them look like they need cheering up. Wonderful record for dancing to, with a title that says a lot, "Let's Work Together."
TOTP was always notorious for having miserable down-trodden looking audiences, especially the girls, who were constantly herded about like sheep from one part of the studio to another and instructed to dance. To me and my friends as teenage girls at the time, most of the dancers in the audience, even if pretty, appeared slightly zombiefied, while the professional dancers seemed unnaturally animated and sexualised. From our perspective then, TOTP, while annoying and not very cool, was still essential viewing since for a few years it was the ONLY pop music programme on TV where artists actually appeared to mime/fake perform their latest record.. which was better than nothing... Ready Steady Go when it came along on a rival channel was a much better show. More fun, more spontaneous, less fake, more hip!
I was a sophomore at Newark (Ca.) High School in 1970. It was 12 yrs. ago when I found these lovely ladies living up here in Willits, Ca. still wearing tie-dye ..more elegantly than ever.
These women are out of this world so is there dancing pure real not like now all fakes. Wish a could stay in the seventies for ever brilliant time of life.
Me and my wife are 68 & 67 now, and when i first saw my wife to be she was dressed just like these girl, micro mini skirt with legs that never ended, oh happy days.
A couple of the girl dancers were regulars on TOTP. If you've got an eagle eye, you will see them in clips up to around 1972/3. I wonder where they are now? I wonder if they watch these clips on YT?
These were the top of the pops dancers , someone said the were fakes from today... I knew 2 of these girls then, we are the same age, and they look great in 2021!!!!!
Grew up in Chicago and we did drugs and went out every Friday and Saturday night to many locations. You know what we never saw? Crime. You're all right. Those were damn good days.
I love the way each one has their own little move , like the girl snatching her head back and forth, she's the only one.. it must not have cool to copy someone's moves back then..
Girls in those days were more evolved emotionally, more beautiful and stylish, more appealing aesthetically....what a joy to behold, so refreshing and liberating to the spirit. They were not vulgar at all, just sweet, nice and groovy.
Righteous !

53 years ago I met a girl like this. We will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary next month.
Congratulations to the two of you.
68 years young and these beauties was where it was at in the 1970 s. Loved every minute.

The 70 s where great,! The music, food, people!

A time when young women looked feminine and fantastic, ... unlike today!
You got that right man!
Today's young women seem feminine to me.
MrAcarine - Hate to disillusion you, but those young feminine things you see today are males.
Cuteys one and all.
And men were REAL men, not like today 😉
Lovely, lovely, lovely - I love them all - These ladies put today's girls to shame.
Oh please!!! Someone make a time machine !!
I have , lol
Этим танцующим сейчас не меньше 68-70 лет. Ностальгия по этим годам.
They are all visions of loveliness!
When i will die, that’s where i want to go. The good old days.
I was all of 13 yrs old in 1970. But looking back on these videos, I realize now why I always seemed to have crushes on much older girls!!
I've said this before. No ink, bolts only great looking ladies!
We don’t care.

Great movement from a lot of the dancers, but most of them look like they need cheering up. Wonderful record for dancing to, with a title that says a lot, "Let's Work Together."
They need cheering up because they were the saturday renta crowd & probably been dancing non stop for 8 hours making the shows.
They're looking over their shoulder for Saville.
