Those of us who were there can only know the sunny days, the fun by the pool, or the days at the beach with our friends. A time of innocence. Thank you Fred!
I remember every one of these songs from when they were first released. God I miss this period of time. Life was far from perfect but I would gladly give up all the technology I enjoy today if I could go back in time.
I'm so damn lost in the 70's... I don't only know all of these songs.. I have them. My kids, and grandkids make fun of it, but when their friends come over... they listen to my music. Long live the 70's music.
Thanks for putting these clips from the past together. It’s so great to go back in time like this..even if it’s for a brief moment especially now in 2022 with so much bad news surrounding us. We need to remember these oldies but goodies every now and then to remember the good times of our youth. ❤️🙏🏻✨🦋🌸🌼🌻
As a kid I knew all these songs from my transistor radio and K-tel LPs. But this is the first time for many of these groups that I saw them perform. Thanks brother
I love how you play more than two bloody chords of each song, gives us some time to remember and enjoy the songs, and the memories. Keep up the good work, God bless buddy
"Hold Your Head Up" and "Brandy" take me immediately back to the EM Club (enlisted man) at the Naval Station in Orlando Florida. I was attending Class "A" school after graduating Navy boot camp. This was late summer 1972. Eating their cheeseburgers and drinking beer while listening to the juke box was a nightly routine I'll never forget. Little did I know that by November 72 I would be sitting off the coast of North Vietnam but that's a whole different story. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for putting together this video of our youth. Just remembering how different life was back then. I could put on a bit of makeup , patched jeans and a smock top to be stylish. No plastic surgery or three hours of makeup or expensive clothes, just jeans to be in the hip crowd. The music was about love and relationships. Thanks for the mental vacation. I wish it could be the same today . So much has changed. Thanks for the flashback.👖💞❤💜❤💜
I'm 60 and know it because all these songs sound good. Some are surely better than others but no real stinkers. Good catchy pop songs. I miss simpler music on the radio. Thanks for posting this!
Turned 20 in 1970. My 20's decade. Best years ever. Denim, platform shoes, flared jeans, halter tops, floaty long dresses, mini skirts more embroidered denim, long hair and fun, lots of it . Oh yeah.
My mom turned 21 in 1970, though she passed over a decade ago now she also said it was her favorite time. Kinda hurt to hear all her favorite times were before I was born, lol, but I get it. Things went a bit downhill in relationships with men and her and my stepdad was worse than us being alone. We never got to get to that point you sit and talk about all these old stories. She wasn't the most open in that way, but tried to be. If you saw a picture of her back then you would have thought she was a model. Naturally beautiful

In ‘68 Mike Pinera and The blues Image were the house band at THEE IMAGE on Miami Beach, I was 16, it cost a dollar to get in, man I saw a lot of rock groups there too many to list. In 2003 I had the opportunity to see Mike again on a tour with the drummer from Rare Earth, the bass from Cannibal and the Headhunters and the organist from Sugarloaf , what a fantastic concert!!!
Frank Figueroa I feel the same way those were the days everything was awesome exspeicaly the cars and music nowadays everything sucks the music what they call music , the cars they all look the same and all the electronic bull crap, jobs are all corporate America were they treat you like slaves instead of employees that they appreciate, and the women all look and act like freaks but think they are so hot and think they are better than anyone and over 90 percent of them are way over weight I could go on and on but you know what I mean The 70s rocked!!!
2nd place won't be easy due to tough challenge from Cardiff and Fulham; Need to be a bit more lethal up front. Could imagine play - offs going horribly wrong!
Our high school marching band played "Vehicle", "25 or 6 to 4" and tons of other such tunes. We had the coolest band director that ever lived. RIP, Mr. Lupidi.
As a teenager in the 60s and 70s I loved the music and still do, it's really all I listen to. Hearing some of these tunes I haven't heard in many yrs brought back some memories. I really miss the style of that music that is missing in todays music, My daughters always said they wish they were born during that era, the music, the clothes etc, I am really glad I was a part of the times, it was different and for the most part I never grew out of it. Funny thing is, even my teenage grandchildren and adult grandchildren love the times I grew up in and they really like to hear about my stories of those times ( some they didn't hear about ), all I can say to them it was magical.
Argent is still alive and well as "The Zombies" with their founder, Rod Argent, and vocalist, Rod Blunstone, touring the US and Europe. "The Zombies" are up for the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And Russ Ballard, of the Argents, had his own solo hits like Voices, in the 80s, plus other bands had hits with his songs, like America's hit, You Can Do Magic.
I love the Zombies. Got to see them in concert in my senior years about 5 years ago in a theater near Beverly Hills CA. It was a real treat. They even played Argent’s “Hold your head up”❣️⭐️
I miss the songs of the 70's. At least you could sing along with them, dance to them, understand the words and people had talent and could actually sing, not depend on computers and synthesizers for fake vocal sounds. You could play them in front of your parents without fearing foul language. There were love songs, songs about peace and fast cars. Harmony and blend was the mainstay of the success of each song. Rap was crap (and still is). We kept our pants pulled up, dressed to the nines for our dates and treated them like ladies.
Thank you for telling the truth about our music of the past in which I still listen to today on my devices like my iPhone for example. You are right Rap has become CRAP because of the lack of REAL talent. Some rap that is good is from 1979 to 1993. After 1993, the RAP music is NOw music that I can’t understand and will NOT relate myself to. Since that is said I LOVED the video it brung back great memories. Get some more of these videos. Thank You.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good songs or artists today, but they sure as heck aren’t mainstream top 40’s. WAP is the most disgusting thing ever. I do mean ever. Beth Hart is amazing. Joe Bonamassa. Chris Stapleton is beyond talented and I don’t happen to be a huge country fan. I like individual songs but it isn’t my main genre. Of course Chris crosses over to blues. Rap isn’t my thing. I have heard individual songs that were good. Overall, I just don’t get into it. I like songs that are deep. That are poetry in song. I like songs that tell stories. If it’s the typical music of today it’s about booties, boobs, kitties, dope, money, and witches with a B. That doesn’t make me feel anything but nauseous. It doesn’t inspire anything but a headache. It doesn’t instill a desire to dance, it instills a desire to turn off the radio. Everyone reminisces over their childhood and the good old days. I can honestly say ANY period of time in history (depending on individual circumstances obviously) would be better than the present. I don’t see anything good coming at us. I believe we’re in the decline of human existence. God is forbidden if it’s the one true God. Everyone else’s god is good for consumption including children in public schools. Scientific “belief” (aka faith aka religion) is sufficient for instances where science hasn’t even proven something, yet actual science is forbidden in favor of acceptance. Right is left, black is white, up is down, and good is bad. Bad is absolutely now good. I do miss “the good old days”. I didn’t hate my neighbor. We were striving for a society that didn’t see color, only content of character. Was it perfect? No. Did we fail? Of course. Was it a darn site better than this hell we’re living in today? You bet. Good luck. Stay safe. God bless America
Actually you are quite wrong there were synthesizers in the early 1970s. Italian genius producer Giorgio Moroder (of Donna Summer fame) was one of the first to use synths in such hits as "Son Of My Father" and "Good Grief Christina" both were big UK top 10 hits. And then of course synths were a huge part of the 80s synth pop era. I love synthesizers!
I can't tell you how many bands played for their fans from a rocky , wet sea shore back in the seventies! They risked so much just for our amusement! I am forever grateful for them to risk themselves for my admiration !! Please, give them a ovation having listening and watching these heroic people!!!
I already have almost all of these on my 70's playlist. Glad to see that so many still remember these great groups. Thanks for keeping the music alive. This music transports me back to my childhood and teenage years.
I've got 'em all! 45 records...K-Tel & Ronco LP records. The 1970's HAD a to of great tunes. I enjoyed them greatly as I went from 19 ~ 29. Many of these tunes had "special meanings" in the places, people, and events I went through.
I'm late to the party but I guess better late than never. Thank you so much for putting this and other compilations together. Hearing these tunes and remembering what I was doing when they were popular brings back great memories. At times I get a little misty-eyed as I do miss them.
Real singers and talented musicians, no phoniness. Authentic real music! The 60's and 70's were awesomeness. Talent galore!!!! I could listen to this stuff all the time!
I had flashbacks of platform shoes & backless dresses & halter tops. My sons think🎵🎶 70's music is lame. I explained to them it's all about dancing & feeling good. They should get with the program🎤👣
I'm with your sons on the disco part of the 1970's. However, there was some industrial strength rock & roll too. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bowie, Heart, Eagles, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc., etc. The 70's was rockin' as long as you didn't give a shit about dancing. None of my friends went to discos or wore platform shoes. We considered those people musical sell-outs, like the Rolling Stones.
Thank you Fred for this one. I was 8 years old in 1970 and it really brings back some great memories. Don't want to appear superficial and I'm not talking about 1970's style but this is back in the day when many musicians could be a little awkward in their physical appearance. Once the MTV moon man showed up on cable the swing from substance and talent to style and image began.
MTV needs to be buried in a Pauper's Field. They are SUCH A JOKE now. They shouldn't -- EVEN -- be operating with the lie called music tv. It should be re-named. BSRTV. BULL SHIT REALITY TV.
Grazing in the grass was the bomb back then . Listening to this music conjures so many images in my head of what life was like back then. Great memories that can never be matched by today's music. Millennials are being robbed of great music and memories related to it.
I used to have the single, "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace which I think was their bigger hit. Dave Edmunds had a string of popular songs, through the 70s into the 80s, I believe and also a nice run with Nick Lowe when they formed Rockpile. I think people either knew who he was or they didn't
Paper Lace had a number one hit with the "The Night Chicago Died ". They were the first to record "Billy Don't Be A Hero " a number one in the UK but only number #96 in the hot 100. And then of "Billy" was covered by USA pop group Bo Donaldson and The Heywood's and they hit number one here in the usa kind of ironic. Bo Donaldson had no UK chart hits.
Singer Russ Ballard was a prolific song writer who wrote songs for others. 3 Dog Night "Liar", Kiss "God Gave Rock and Roll To You", Santana "Winning" are just a few.
Great job Fred, that was a great selection of great songs with bands that will live on forever, even if they are not performing today. What I always loved about those songs was it always made me feel good and happy. It would pick your spirits up and it was great to dance to. Unfortunately, music isn't even music any more. Those rap songs talk of violence and hatred. No wonder our youth is so disillusioned today.
@@lesschoenberger3070 Whoa! I saw Blues Image live at Fillmore West in1970 w/Kent Henry on lead.The whole Santana band came up and jammed with them on stage.That was one great show.Kent Henry :What a monster on guitar....and Joe Lala on drums....Sorry to hear they have passed away....
Jigsaw - SkyHigh...Wow, Thank you for pulling this all together. Tons of memories wrapped up in those songs. Isn't it amazing, even though the artist's career is a fleeting moment in time...The MUSIC will live forever.
WOW, what ultra-rare footage from that era and thanks for sharing! I remember all these songs well when I was in my final two years of high school. Some of these groups were one-hit wonders while others had more than one hit. OMG, what a MUCH different world back then. Yah, it was far from perfect but I would give anything to go back to this time in my life with this music.
Thank you for doing this. The sound doesn't bother me - after all those years of listening to homemade cassettes off the radio , I'm back in my bedroom at my parents house! I can almost smell the tigress perfume!
How could anyone forget the song Vehicle by The Ides Of March. Every marching band in America has played that song at least once. These songs are all etched in my mind.
The song is magnificent and the only problem is that it sounds an awful lot like "Blood, Sweat & Tears". There just wasn't enough room for two such acts.
If you notice, the male singer at 3:35 (Brotherhood of man), and at 11:33 (Edison lighthouse) are the same person. That is Tony Burrows. He was a prolific studio musician(singer) in the 70"s. He also had top ten hits with White Plains( My baby loves lovin"), ThePipkins (Gimee dat ding-the gravelly voice), and First Class (Beach Baby). If these don"t ring a bell, google them. I'm sure if you are around my age (61) you'll recognize the songs. Burrows was quite the talent back then.
Oh, man Greg I remember.....Beach Baby, Beach Baby, there on the sand From July to the end of September... And Fred, Strong the nostalgia is with this video, hmmm. :-)
In 1976 the bicentennial year at Six Flags Over Texas I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders perform Still the One b y Orleans. They nailed it! Long Live Paul Revere and the Raiders 1960 - 2014 54 years of rocking insanity. Howdy from Dallas Texas
it was a magical time to grow up and listen to the radio, where you could hear Beatles, Wayne Newton, Johnny cash, Alice Cooper, zepellin, and all these fabulous hits ALL ON THE SAME STATION!
I grew up during the 1970s, graduating from high school in 1980 and I remember damn near everyone of these songs. What a crazy trip down memory lane this was for me.
I remembered these songs growing up as a child and a teenager as well,brings back great memories of the 1970’s.I graduated high school the year after you did in 1981.
Thank you Fred, I was just getting into it and it was over. You could have made a video showcasing all the terrific one hit wonders that lasted hours and hours. :-) Just off the top of my head one of my faves is Sugar Bears "You Are The One"
Thank You for the Posting! I didn't realize what great hits were out there. You did an amazing job putting this video together and documenting it well on RUclips :)
Thanks for including the REAL version of Billy Don't be a Hero. I read somewhere that Paper Lace recorded it first, but since it was in England some ratfink hurried an American version out with Bo Donaldson before they could get it released in the US. Not sure how the laws work or if that's true, though. Also, Dave Edmunds didn't exactly fall through the cracks of time. He released albums throughout the 70s and 80s, went into semi-retirement while producing for others, and released some more original material in 2013.
Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods' other big hit, Who Do You Think You Are, was first recorded by Candlewick Green and Jigsaw in England. Another song on their album, Girl Don't Let Me Wait, was written by Philly Soul legend Leon Huff and originally recorded by Bunny Sigler in 1966.
10:55, you forgot to post the name of the band singing Brandy. For those interested, it was Looking Glass. Like the 60's compilation, I notice a lot of electric guitars not plugged in on these clips.
I don't think so, Dimitri. Like Mountain with Mississippi Queen, these guys had one good song, and I don't think it was business that killed them, just a lack of creativity.
Yeah, but some of these guys just got lucky. Remember The Knack? I had their 8 track tape. Not a thing worth listening to, except My Sharona. I bought their next album too. Worthless.
You've got a point there. I never felt that the two later songs I heard by them, "Rainbow Man" and "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne", were up to the standard of "Brandy".
I had low volume on most, no sound at all on a couple and last time I tried singing along, the cops showed up because someone thought a wart hog was being tortured in my place,
I jhad low volume on some clips so I made them all low; I can't raise it because the software I'm using has been acting up lately. That's why I said in the video "pump up the volume."
Fantastic memories. These are all from my teenage years. Thank you so much for bringing them back to life. It's amazing how much I remember these songs and the names of the groups.
>"Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol" Good point. You keep placing the song lyrics in the same place in your brain, over and over, but like the rest of us, we put our glasses anywhere. It's like we are testing our brain to see if it can figure out this random spot, in spite of us knowing most likely it is going to fail the test. We keep doing it though. Our brain is laughing at us.
The weird thing about "Funky Town" is that every time I've seen it performed ... all by the group supposedly named "Lipps Inc." ... the singers looked entirely different. I'm wondering if this group actually existed, or if they were like "The Archies" and we never actually knew who the actual group members were!
Oh wow, these songs bring back such, sweet memories! I am so glad to experienced these songs and the people who made them when they first came out. And I thank God for having older siblings who jammed to these classics! Because of them, I've build a large palette for all types of music. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed this video.
Did anyone mention that the lead singer of Edison Lighthouse was also the lead singer of Brotherhood of Man? His name is Tony Burrows and he had several more hits during the 70s, always under a different name!
Tony also sang lead vocal for The First Class "Beach Baby", The White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'", The Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" and many others.
Tony Burrows and Ron Dante, two of the most famous voices of the sixties that sang on numerous hit songs for many different groups. I don't believe either of them had any solo hits. Nobody knew their names back in the day and still don't.
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds were all part of the T-Bones (see Fred's 1960s Gone Groups video) before Dunhill Records signed them to their own deal.
I almost cried as soon as the song started and I was thinking I KNOW that group and wow Hamilton. Joe Frank and Reynolds. YES I thought! I remember them so well.. had the vinyl album for decades but is gone now.. memories are still in tact somewhat.. hee hee
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds "Don't Pull Your Love" was one of my favorites from the summer of 1971. I graduated from high school in '71 and that summer is indelibly etched in my mind.
Back in the day when local radio stations played what they wanted to some of them where I live never played none of this stuff there was a saying rather death than Disco I guess that's why I never heard oh some of the songs as always very good work great memories
So far my favorite one you've done. It hit a whole new nostalgia level with Skylark "She's a Lady" I was back making out with girls at the beach with that. Well Done!!
I remember hearing all these songs on a small hand held transistor radio I had back in the day. Some of them on a regular basis, Looking Glass, Blues Image, Shocking Blue, Argent, were all regular plays on the radio during that time period. Slipped thru the cracks of time, but they will forever remain in my heart.

Thanks, Bob. I try to keep them under 35 seconds though because the RUclips copyright cops are lurking about.
Pure Gold... what a trip down memory lane. A time when the world was so much bigger and life seemed less complicated and more fun!

You're right, heartsong3149. The 60's and 70's ... how I miss the music and friends.
Thank you for telling the truth about our music of the past in which I still listen to today on my devices like my iPhone for example. You are right Rap has become CRAP because of the lack of REAL talent. Some rap that is good is from 1979 to 1993. After 1993, the RAP music is NOw music that I can’t understand and will NOT relate myself to. Since that is said I LOVED the video it brung back great memories. Get some more of these videos. Thank You.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good songs or artists today, but they sure as heck aren’t mainstream top 40’s. WAP is the most disgusting thing ever. I do mean ever. Beth Hart is amazing. Joe Bonamassa. Chris Stapleton is beyond talented and I don’t happen to be a huge country fan. I like individual songs but it isn’t my main genre. Of course Chris crosses over to blues. Rap isn’t my thing. I have heard individual songs that were good. Overall, I just don’t get into it. I like songs that are deep. That are poetry in song. I like songs that tell stories. If it’s the typical music of today it’s about booties, boobs, kitties, dope, money, and witches with a B. That doesn’t make me feel anything but nauseous. It doesn’t inspire anything but a headache. It doesn’t instill a desire to dance, it instills a desire to turn off the radio. Everyone reminisces over their childhood and the good old days. I can honestly say ANY period of time in history (depending on individual circumstances obviously) would be better than the present. I don’t see anything good coming at us. I believe we’re in the decline of human existence. God is forbidden if it’s the one true God. Everyone else’s god is good for consumption including children in public schools. Scientific “belief” (aka faith aka religion) is sufficient for instances where science hasn’t even proven something, yet actual science is forbidden in favor of acceptance. Right is left, black is white, up is down, and good is bad. Bad is absolutely now good. I do miss “the good old days”. I didn’t hate my neighbor. We were striving for a society that didn’t see color, only content of character. Was it perfect? No. Did we fail? Of course. Was it a darn site better than this hell we’re living in today? You bet. Good luck. Stay safe. God bless America
Actually you are quite wrong there were synthesizers in the early 1970s. Italian genius producer Giorgio Moroder (of Donna Summer fame) was one of the first to use synths in such hits as "Son Of My Father" and "Good Grief Christina" both were big UK top 10 hits. And then of course synths were a huge part of the 80s synth pop era. I love synthesizers!
I can't tell you how many bands played for their fans from a rocky , wet sea shore back in the seventies! They risked so much just for our amusement! I am forever grateful for them to risk themselves for my admiration !! Please, give them a ovation having listening and watching these heroic people!!!
I already have almost all of these on my 70's playlist. Glad to see that so many still remember these great groups. Thanks for keeping the music alive. This music transports me back to my childhood and teenage years.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Linda.
NEVER FORGOTTEN. Why would you think we could forget ANY music? It's in our memories always.
Argent evolved from the 60's British Invasion band The Zombies of which Rod Argent
founded and Colin Blunstone sang lead.
Old post, but true, Rod Argent was not a "fall through the cracks" artist.
Jerry Brownell
The Zombies were one if the best if the British Invasion and had a very distinctive sound.
I've got 'em all! 45 records...K-Tel & Ronco LP records. The 1970's HAD a to of great tunes. I enjoyed them greatly as I went from 19 ~ 29. Many of these tunes had "special meanings" in the places, people, and events I went through.
Tom Foster, You beat me. I’ve got the 45s of Argent and Marmalade
I'm late to the party but I guess better late than never. Thank you so much for putting this and other compilations together. Hearing these tunes and remembering what I was doing when they were popular brings back great memories. At times I get a little misty-eyed as I do miss them.
You're welcome, J Baker. Thanks for commenting.
@@FredFlix You're very welcome.
Real singers and talented musicians, no phoniness. Authentic real music! The 60's and 70's were awesomeness. Talent galore!!!! I could listen to this stuff all the time!
I had flashbacks of platform shoes & backless dresses & halter tops. My sons think🎵🎶 70's music is lame. I explained to them it's all about dancing & feeling good. They should get with the program🎤👣
You tell 'em, Vicki!
Most people don't care about the lyrics, they just want a beat they can dance to.
Christopher U.S. Smith Although some of the lyrics were really deep!!! lol
Vicki Noeske Quite true! Lines like "Great God in Heaven you know I love you." ("Vehicle") really were deep. :)
I'm with your sons on the disco part of the 1970's. However, there was some industrial strength rock & roll too. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bowie, Heart, Eagles, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc., etc. The 70's was rockin' as long as you didn't give a shit about dancing. None of my friends went to discos or wore platform shoes. We considered those people musical sell-outs, like the Rolling Stones.
Thank you Fred for this one. I was 8 years old in 1970 and it really brings back some great memories. Don't want to appear superficial and I'm not talking about 1970's style but this is back in the day when many musicians could be a little awkward in their physical appearance. Once the MTV moon man showed up on cable the swing from substance and talent to style and image began.
So true.
Yea back then some of them looked like auto mechanics.
Video killed the radio star.
MTV needs to be buried in a Pauper's Field.
They are SUCH A JOKE now.
They shouldn't -- EVEN -- be operating with the lie called music tv.
It should be re-named.
BSRTV.
BULL SHIT REALITY TV.
well said sir.
Grazing in the grass was the bomb back then . Listening to this music conjures so many images in my head of what life was like back then. Great memories that can never be matched by today's music. Millennials are being robbed of great music and memories related to it.
Every time I think of the seventies, I think of polyester. 🤣
i slow danced with my 8th grade english teacher to that skylark song
then went home and rubbed one out.
😵
Fucking coffee everywhere goddammit. Lol
TMI..lol
I used to have the single, "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace which I think was their bigger hit.
Dave Edmunds had a string of popular songs, through the 70s into the 80s, I believe and also a nice run with Nick Lowe when they formed Rockpile. I think people either knew who he was or they didn't
Paper Lace had a number one hit with the "The Night Chicago Died ". They were the first to record "Billy Don't Be A Hero " a number one in the UK but only number #96 in the hot 100. And then of "Billy" was covered by USA pop group Bo Donaldson and The Heywood's and they hit number one here in the usa kind of ironic. Bo Donaldson had no UK chart hits.

@@ricktraficanti2673 SPEAK English only here
They are not gone. They are in my mind, heart and soul for ever. Awesome groups. They and their songs will never die!
Such fun music! I really miss the 70s.
Agree ! ✌
@@dannylee1987 me too, i love brandy you're a fine girl.and the horse.
The volume on most of these is way too low.
Thought my phone was screwed up.
Argent's "Hold Your Head Up" was a great song.
Singer Russ Ballard was a prolific song writer who wrote songs for others. 3 Dog Night "Liar", Kiss "God Gave Rock and Roll To You", Santana "Winning" are just a few.
the organ part was great
Totally agreed. Almost scary in its greatness.
It's been decades since I heard that one.
They all bring back memories of High School, early years in the military and friends made and lost.
The Organ player was Rob Argent from the Zombies
Great job Fred, that was a great selection of great songs with bands that will live on forever, even if they are not performing today. What I always loved about those songs was it always made me feel good and happy. It would pick your spirits up and it was great to dance to. Unfortunately, music isn't even music any more. Those rap songs talk of violence and hatred. No wonder our youth is so disillusioned today.
ride captain ride great song
Kent Henry on lead guitar who joined Steppenwolf after this band broke up, rest in peace Kent and thanks for the great music!!
There's another great band Steppenwolf
@@lesschoenberger3070 Whoa! I saw Blues Image live at Fillmore West in1970 w/Kent Henry on lead.The whole Santana band came up and jammed with them on stage.That was one great show.Kent Henry :What a monster on guitar....and Joe Lala on drums....Sorry to hear they have passed away....
@@lesschoenberger3070 - Actually Henry and lead singer Mike Pinera both played lead. It is Pinera( bands founder)
playing lead at the end of the song.
Was I ever wrong! I thought it was Deep Purple--unless they redid it.
Thanks for reminding me how old I am. 😨
Jigsaw - SkyHigh...Wow, Thank you for pulling this all together.
Tons of memories wrapped up in those songs.
Isn't it amazing, even though the artist's career is a fleeting moment in time...The MUSIC will live forever.
WOW, what ultra-rare footage from that era and thanks for sharing! I remember all these songs well when I was in my final two years of high school. Some of these groups were one-hit wonders while others had more than one hit. OMG, what a MUCH different world back then. Yah, it was far from perfect but I would give anything to go back to this time in my life with this music.
Love it 👍👍👍✌️Thank you for posting some seriously great memories that had been forgotten
Thank you for doing this. The sound doesn't bother me - after all those years of listening to homemade cassettes off the radio , I'm back in my bedroom at my parents house! I can almost smell the tigress perfume!
How could anyone forget the song Vehicle by The Ides Of March. Every marching band in America has played that song at least once. These songs are all etched in my mind.
The song is magnificent and the only problem is that it sounds an awful lot like "Blood, Sweat & Tears". There just wasn't enough room for two such acts.
Jim Peterik founding member and lead singer of Ides of March also co-found
and sang lead for Survivor ( "Eye of The Tiger").
Chicago with their horn section as well.
angel able Spot On. I remember trying to find the song and thought for the longest time it was Boob Sweat and Tears.
The Pride of Berwyn, Illinois.
Thank you for bringing back these tunes! You are amazing 👏! Love your channel!
Awesome music. I can tell you at one time or another what I was doing for every song in this list. Great to relive. Hope you make more of these vids.
If you notice, the male singer at 3:35 (Brotherhood of man), and at 11:33 (Edison lighthouse) are the same person. That is Tony Burrows. He was a prolific studio musician(singer) in the 70"s. He also had top ten hits with White Plains( My baby loves lovin"), ThePipkins (Gimee dat ding-the gravelly voice), and First Class (Beach Baby). If these don"t ring a bell, google them. I'm sure if you are around my age (61) you'll recognize the songs. Burrows was quite the talent back then.
Good info, Greg.
Oh, man Greg
I remember.....Beach Baby, Beach Baby, there on the sand
From July to the end of September...
And Fred,
Strong the nostalgia is with this video, hmmm. :-)
Herb. Many people (Myself included), consider Beach baby the best Beach Boys song not by the Beach Boys. Ha Ha. Or as they would say nowadays Lol.
Tony Burrows sure got around, didn't he? LOL :)
Four of those songs were on the U.K. charts at the same time.
looking glass Brandy what a fantastic song
Became the hard Rock band Starz; real kick ass stuff...
..and, a fine girl.
The song was so epic it was given a prominent plot point in GOTG Vol 2
Chip Griffiths
Yep, I became a huge fan of “Brandy” the first time I heard it.
Does anyone has the two looking glass records
In 1976 the bicentennial year at Six Flags Over Texas I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders perform Still the One b y Orleans. They nailed it! Long Live Paul Revere and the Raiders 1960 - 2014 54 years of rocking insanity. Howdy from Dallas Texas
it was a magical time to grow up and listen to the radio, where you could hear Beatles, Wayne Newton, Johnny cash, Alice Cooper, zepellin, and all these fabulous hits ALL ON THE SAME STATION!
It's amazing what you forget. Nice compilation Fred!
Bravo Zulu...
Thanks again, Scott.
Scott Petrone ..and I think it is amazing how much I remember when I hear these songs
You forget, but then three notes in you remember the song.
Great collage, reminds me of AM radio 📻 back in my grade school days. Thanks Fred! Peace and Love Brother 😸!
Same to you, funzjag.
I really enjoy watching these videos, makes me think of songs I thought I had forgotten. I still remember all the lyrics to these songs!
Just found your vids. Flippin' awesome collection, and channel overall. So nice to see the smiling faces of the music we heard back then!
Good radio songs then and even now. Every time i head one pop up I can't but to become transported back in time to a certain degree.
Was surprised Pilot ("Magic") didn't make it on this compilation. Good stuff here though!
That song was pretty weak...like afternoon delight
@@jamesmack3314 Adam Sandler thought it was strong enough to include it on the Happy Gilmore soundtrack!
Ben Adam775 still weak!
I grew up during the 1970s, graduating from high school in 1980 and I remember damn near everyone of these songs. What a crazy trip down memory lane this was for me.
I remembered these songs growing up as a child and a teenager as well,brings back great memories of the 1970’s.I graduated high school the year after you did in 1981.
Thank you for the work you did on this compilation.
Oh yes best music of the century, the 70s. If the party gets slow play some 70s and the room will light up even today!
Thank you Fred, I was just getting into it and it was over. You could have made a video showcasing all the terrific one hit wonders that lasted hours and hours. :-) Just off the top of my head one of my faves is Sugar Bears "You Are The One"
An Amazing Collection Of One Hit Wonders Indeed! Thanks Fred! I Enjoy Reliving My Childhood Through Your Videos!❤️❤️
Thank You for the Posting! I didn't realize what great hits were out there. You did an amazing job putting this video together and documenting it well on RUclips :)
Thanks for including the REAL version of Billy Don't be a Hero. I read somewhere that Paper Lace recorded it first, but since it was in England some ratfink hurried an American version out with Bo Donaldson before they could get it released in the US. Not sure how the laws work or if that's true, though.
Also, Dave Edmunds didn't exactly fall through the cracks of time. He released albums throughout the 70s and 80s, went into semi-retirement while producing for others, and released some more original material in 2013.
MrAlumni72 Edmunds produced the Stray Cats's first couple of UK albums (consolidated into _Built_ _for_ _Speed_ in the U.S.).
Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods' other big hit, Who Do You Think You Are, was first recorded by Candlewick Green and Jigsaw in England. Another song on their album, Girl Don't Let Me Wait, was written by Philly Soul legend Leon Huff and originally recorded by Bunny Sigler in 1966.
Wow, I thought "the night Chicago died" was paper lace's only hit. Nice to hear they did other notable songs.
ChristineCAlb1 The Paper Lace version of Billy also surprised me, considering how much better the Bo Donaldson version did on the charts.
My ex took me for everything here except my Dave Edmonds records. Don't miss any of 'em!
I never saw "Looking Glass" name displayed! But I loved the memories!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Fred! Lots of my favorites on here!!
So many great songs and memories. Thank you for the videos you make, they always bring a smile 😆
That's exactly what I set out to do, Morgan.
Morgan Sparhawk IKR?
I LOVED EVERY ONE OF EM......THANKS DUDE !!!!!
10:55, you forgot to post the name of the band singing Brandy. For those interested, it was Looking Glass.
Like the 60's compilation, I notice a lot of electric guitars not plugged in on these clips.
Don't know how I missed that, Clay, but thanks. I'll put a note on the video.
I don't think so, Dimitri. Like Mountain with Mississippi Queen, these guys had one good song, and I don't think it was business that killed them, just a lack of creativity.
Yeah, but some of these guys just got lucky. Remember The Knack? I had their 8 track tape. Not a thing worth listening to, except My Sharona. I bought their next album too. Worthless.
You've got a point there. I never felt that the two later songs I heard by them, "Rainbow Man" and "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne", were up to the standard of "Brandy".
Clay Loomis
THANX for the band name ! My head was about to overheat trying to remember !
..... (; - )
Fascinating decade the Seventies. Everything was brown and orange but it seemed like so much fun.
Fantastic clips! I have never seen many of these, so many great songs! Thank you!
You're welcome, Bruce.
Cool. I've never seen a lot these bands actually performing
is it just my system, or was the sound sort of messed up on this one?
Randy She.... me too,low volume,but I was singing along 😉
I had low volume on most, no sound at all on a couple and last time I tried singing along, the cops showed up because someone thought a wart hog was being tortured in my place,
I jhad low volume on some clips so I made them all low; I can't raise it because the software I'm using has been acting up lately. That's why I said in the video "pump up the volume."
That's funny!
... and every time I try to have a barbecue the fire brigade shows up :p
Fantastic memories. These are all from my teenage years. Thank you so much for bringing them back to life. It's amazing how much I remember these songs and the names of the groups.
Yup. Gone but not forgotten. Many of these songs are being performed live. And all the vintage equipment has me drooling...
If it's NOT the ' 60 's or '70 ' s in Heaven , I'm not STAYING !!!
Knocked it out of the ballpark on this one, Fred ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate that, Mark!
Well Fred you did it again....always putting out the best videos. Thanks for the ride. Connie from Fla
Thank you Fred, these brought back many great memories!
Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol
>"Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol"
Good point. You keep placing the song lyrics in the same place in your brain, over and over, but like the rest of us, we put our glasses anywhere. It's like we are testing our brain to see if it can figure out this random spot, in spite of us knowing most likely it is going to fail the test. We keep doing it though. Our brain is laughing at us.
Holy crap, now Funky Town is stuck in my head :(
The weird thing about "Funky Town" is that every time I've seen it performed ... all by the group supposedly named "Lipps Inc." ... the singers looked entirely different. I'm wondering if this group actually existed, or if they were like "The Archies" and we never actually knew who the actual group members were!
HAHAHAHA !!!!
Towlie's revenge.....LOLOLOL
kvernon1 Pretty much one guy with a synth and some session singers. Best song on here!
Like Soft Cell
Oh wow, these songs bring back such, sweet memories! I am so glad to experienced these songs and the people who made them when they first came out. And I thank God for having older siblings who jammed to these classics! Because of them, I've build a large palette for all types of music. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed this video.
6:35
Now I know where the channel 9 still the one ad gets its tune from! Thank you Orleans! My life is complete!
Ah,yes. The staple of AOR FM radio stations in the early to mid- 70's.
When I think of some of these hits I usually think of AM radio but Interesting.
🎵 Eighty-nine, W-L-S, Chi-ca-go!! 🎵
Did anyone mention that the lead singer of Edison Lighthouse was also the lead singer of Brotherhood of Man? His name is Tony Burrows and he had several more hits during the 70s, always under a different name!
Tony also sang lead vocal for The First Class "Beach Baby", The White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'", The Pipkins' novelty song "Gimme Dat Ding" and many others.
Tony Burrows and Ron Dante, two of the most famous voices of the sixties that sang on numerous hit songs for many different groups. I don't believe either of them had any solo hits. Nobody knew their names back in the day and still don't.
@@Jimbo700 Also "Love Grows (where my Rosemary Goes)/Edison Lighthouse"
@@anthonymcdibble9496 ..And...their version of the 1970 Butterscotch song, "Don't You Know, She Said Hello", which they released in 1973.
Tony Burrows has the distinction of being a one hit wonder 5 times. He sang lead for 5 different bands that each had 1 hit. Really amazing story.
My best memory of Still The One is ABC using it in their fall lineup ad
I entered High School in 1971 and left the Army in 1979, all these songs bring back memories. Thanks.

I'm guessing Ides of March were not only influenced by Chicago but also overshadowed by them as well.
I only discovered this channel a couple weeks ago but it is definitely my favorite now....thanks Fred
Nice to hear, Dracul.
Ah!!! The 70's!!! I miss you o much! Your right NEVER forgotten! Music today can't compare with you!!!!!
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds were all part of the T-Bones (see Fred's 1960s Gone Groups video) before Dunhill Records signed them to their own deal.
I almost cried as soon as the song started and I was thinking I KNOW that group and wow Hamilton. Joe Frank and Reynolds. YES I thought! I remember them so well.. had the vinyl album for decades but is gone now.. memories are still in tact somewhat.. hee hee
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds "Don't Pull Your Love" was one of my favorites from the summer of 1971. I graduated from high school in '71 and that summer is indelibly etched in my mind.
Those guys were great.
@@Jimbo700 Class of '73--and loved every single one of these classics.
@@Jimbo700 ...Their follow-up, "Winners and Losers" was also good, though not as popular or as everlasting as "Don't Pull Your Love".
Back in the day when local radio stations played what they wanted to some of them where I live never played none of this stuff there was a saying rather death than Disco I guess that's why I never heard oh some of the songs as always very good work great memories
Great list Fred. Thanks!
This was a great compilation. Thanks
This is my childhood, man.
My teen years.
Me too!
So far my favorite one you've done. It hit a whole new nostalgia level with Skylark "She's a Lady" I was back making out with girls at the beach with that. Well Done!!
Thanks a lot, William.
william white That Skylark song is titled "Wildflower", BTW.
I remember hearing all these songs on a small hand held transistor radio I had back in the day. Some of them on a regular basis, Looking Glass, Blues Image, Shocking Blue, Argent, were all regular plays on the radio during that time period. Slipped thru the cracks of time, but they will forever remain in my heart.
"Just a guy" Thank you guy...this stuff was great. Watched the 60's edition as well. Incredibly nostalgic, incredibly great. Thank you.
