Its sad to think about how much better life was back then, there were problems and stupid people but not to the extent that we have today. Not even close.
One thing I do remember about 1971 was that NOTHING was going to stop my dad, who was around 40 years old then, from watching All In The Family.😄
I loved Edith! She was so sweet and naive. 🌷
@62guitarguy
Guns handed out to all airline passengers was the best idea ever to prevent hijackers.
Your Dad was a smart guy! Great show!
hey meat-head. We watched it religiously as a kid but I was born in 71. Edith was so cute and there was the Jefferson too -- to spin off later obviously.
@@creamepiecharlie
Loved George Jefferson’s “mammie.” 😂
The year I graduated from high school. It all seemed so normal. It wasn't a different time. It was a different country. Damn I miss it.
the year I was born, meh. :)
'71 was my grad year too, how the world has changed, miss those days so bad it hurts !!
Same here my friends. The year I got my licenses and a bad~ass 1968
Mustang GT Fastback with a 390 4 speed. I was wild and crazy 17 year old outlaw. I was a hell raiser but never hurt anyone, but caused the local police allot of headaches. Street racing was their main objective to catch me. They never did. I agree 110% with you, geraldking "It wasn't a different time. It was a different country."
Being 20 right now sucks, wish I was born back then. Electronics ruined the fun
Alice Cooper's song "I'm Eighteen" was written during the debates over lowering the voting age to 18, because people that young were dying in Vietnam.
I was fifteen, sixteen when all this happened. I thought things were bad then, little did I know. But , all and all it was a much simpler time.
but, now we know!!!...cars were simpler, but carburetors were a p.i.the ass
Yes it was. I would give anything to go back to living in the world as it was then. The world now is a horrible place. Technology, as much as we all love it, also ruined life as we knew it. I much preferred the way things were back then.
Shit man, I was born in 2000, but god damn I want to go back.
@@aceflamez00 Okay, zoomer
I was 11 years old, and having the time of my life, my step dad was the coolest in history, my mom was great, we didn't have money, but it didn't matter, they gave us a fantastic childhood, I miss them so much.
Remember all of these events- still love Tapestry, still cry at Brian’s Song, still can’t believe it’s been 50 years.
Check, check and check. (And, yes, pretty much everything was better 50 years ago).
I was 11...remembering
What a year for me 🇺🇲
Groovy..
So crazy! 50 years! I used to cry just hearing the theme music from Brian's Song.
@@carolejohnson791 i was 7, peace signs, marching troops and a cheat for Pres.and lots of misinformation of history at school.
@@petethetaper that president may have got his hand caught in the cookie jar but our nation's economy was doing just fine. And I wouldn't mind having old tricky back in office if it were possible.
All in the Family was the first show that became must-see TV in my house. My entire family would take time out to watch every week. There is no doubt Tapestry is one of the finest albums ever produced. Once upon a time, when I was a song writer, I used to wish I could write a song as melodic as So Far Away. That Ali Frazier fight was huge. I remember everyone at school talking about it at the time. It ushered in a golden age for boxing, especially the heavyweight division. Ali, Frazier, Ken Norton, Ernie Shavers, George Foreman, Jimmy Young, all available for free on ABC.
And all presented by a man who deplored boxing as barbaric and lethal, ruining the lives of young men. It's too bad Howard Cosell was so good at it! And yeah, Tapestry was musical magic, but the production was pretty flimsy IMO. Listen to the distortion everywhere, and the tone of her piano was so dead, even by the standards of the time. It was like she had these great songs but was only allowed 2 hours in the studio to record them. Carole King is a genius, one of the best composers ever, and the label did her a disservice with that production. But by her talent alone, she clobbered the sales records of the time, and rightly so. I think she had 202 consecutive weeks on Billboard's album charts with Tapestry.
You do a great job on these recollection videos. Please keep up the good work!
Still love watching All in the Family! Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford & George Jefferson all funny, non PC TV!!!
It was a long time before I could make out the words Boy the way Glenn Miller played...
I had no idea what he was saying
@@noble604 The part most people didn't understand was, Gee our old Lasalle ran great. I listen to it now, and I still can't make out that that's what they're singing.
Julie Nielsen - it’s strange how much the world has changed. Now you just look up the lyrics. Then, you were guessing and making them up lol.
⁹
You forgot to mention the loss of Jim Morrison on july 2nd.
That was a pretty big deal.
Wow, didn’t know that was the actual date, course, my birthday is on July 2nd but, there was some facts, I don’t remember in 71 because, I was just turning 4.
Yes it was! I loved the Doors and JM, RIP Jim!!!!
Actually it was July 3rd
The year my mother died. At only 10 years, I was on my own, so bye mom and your sweet apple pie.❤
That sucks. I'm so sorry you lost your mom at such a tender age. Any age is bad, but 10 is terrible.
I’m so sorry.
Ray so sorry, glad you made it through
I was 11, a much simpler time. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago. My biggest memory from ‘71 was a trip to Indianapolis and a van ride around the speedway. I got to drive on its road course this summer! All In The Family was OK but my parents loved The Waltons. Good Night John Boy.
Do you think a show like The Waltons would stand a ghost of a chance of getting on the air today? I seriously doubt it -- a pity.
In 1971, the whimsical blonde beauty herself Goldie Hawn had her very own TV special which was entitled "Pure Goldie" on NBC-TV. It also featured Ruth Buzzi (also from "Laugh-In"), Elliot Gould (from the movie "M*A*S*H") and of course, Jim Henson's Muppets, including Kermit the frog.
I was sweet 16, a sophomore, and had my first boyfriend. He was a senior and dumped me when he graduated. Can’t believe 50 years have passed. Thanks for these great trips down memory lane. Well done!
I turned 16 that year in June. Started officially dating my high school sweetheart. What a great year, although, my city in Los Angeles area had a major earthquake in February that year. Lots of damage everywhere but our home was still standing!
Please make these "flashback to" videos longer with more content. Thanks! I've subscribed.
I completely agree with you a longer version would be great so they could cover more subjects for the year that they are covering!
I was married in 1971 after returning from Vietnam
Me too.
Thank you for your service. My late husband was also a Vietnam vet.
@@monicaqueenan9985 thank you sorry to hear about your husband
Damn. That's cute.
James taylor and carole king, what a musical duo! It seems the biggest sellling musicians of those years, were also the best, pink floyd, james taylor, neil young, John lennon, mccartney, etc etc. Today's artists are simply pathetic in comparison.
Also in 1971…
“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” starring Gene Wilder, Jack Albertson and Peter Ostrum was released. 🍫 🏭
I was those kids age.
That movie scared the crap out of me! I was 7 at the time...
About the only hopeful thing in that year.
I was born in 1971. So, of course, I find this one interesting! Thank you for this. And I look forward to the next one!
Same here.
Me too!
me 3 🙂
Ditto
Me four
The 26th Amendment should be repealed. Have you seen 18-21 year olds?
One of the dumbest things we ever did.
yea I saw 18 year olds 50 years ago.they were about the same as they've ever been.
Have you seen some of the knuckleheads that are alot older than that as well?
@@goldiemckernan1189 It was passed because 18 yr-old men were being drafted and had no say in choosing the politicians who drafted them. My dad is old enough to be one of the last ones who had to wait until he turned 21.
Most don't even want to get a drivers license, even without public transport. What gives?
I was 18 and flew from the US to New Zealand, where I bought a bicycle and road around the country for 5 months .. one of the best times ever. It was like going back in time 30 years.
So you dodged the draft?
Wow! Our family moved into the suburbs that year and I entered junior high. Entering a new school can be a little scary, but it got better. Made new friends which are now my old friends. LOL! My favs were my electric bass guitar, my Stingray bike (rolled up my bell bottoms so they wouldn't get caught on the peddles), FM stereo radio, cassette and reel to reel tape recording, hanging out at the local shopping center's music and record store and hamburger eateries in which we all can relate. Good times! Everyone be careful out there..
GLEN CAMPBELL HOUR,SUMMER REPLACEMENT,SMOTHERS BROTHERS,LAUGH INN
Don't forget Hee Haw
It was a good year for me, graduated high school in 70 and started Beauty School in 71. I loved Carole King and had a very large record collection. Loved my music, still do.
I watch The Homecoming every Thanksgiving. ❤
Hi
I was in the U.S. Navy off the shore of Vietnam on an amphibious assault ship support the US Marine Corps in 1971. My selective service was very low and I didn't want to continue with college so my deferment was up. Learned so much and grew up so much during the next four years in the military. When I returned home my friends treated me differently because of my involvement in Vietnam. I always felt the truth was I moved on down a different path in life then they did.
Thank You for Serving in the Vietnam War. I am a member of Rolling Thunder, Inc. which was founded in 1988 by Vietnam Veterans I have met. Why there are POW-MIA Flags on Government Agencies buildings across the USA.
Thank you for your service. ❤
Welcome home brother.
I was in the USN also... served as a RM in the Fleet Center on GUAM. I also matured from a 19 year old knuckle head to a man...had a buddy, Mark E Prince from Medford OR who just passed away...we would BS every day about our times in the USN...We later served in the Tonkin Gulf onboard the USS Constellation, CVA 64.
70's and 80's were the last decades of free speech in America. Nowadays you can literally offend 1 person in a billion and held accountable for something no matter how innocent to the other 99.9999999% of the population. I saw the US shipping virtually all of its manufacturing to other counties starting in the mid 80's was in full swing by 1990's.
Sad. I barely enjoyed what we had (born in '77).
The downfall of the USA started in 11-22-63 in Dallas TX.Our freedoms/economy have been slowly/rapidly slipping away ever since.NO BLUE IN 22.🗽👍
@@vernwallen4246 Agree 100%. I consider LBJ our worst president that started the downfall.
High school senior, saw the Allman Bros, with Duane at Central Park, life was great
wow cool
Yes, it WAS.
I would have loved to had seen Duane and Greg playing together
@@mags5459 they played over 3 hours, it was like being in church !!!
I remember the 70s
America was making huge gains in civil liberties and freedom of speech and press
It was the last decade of freedom
Starting in the 80s, our freedoms were taken away more and more and quality of life has declined steady since then
Very very sad
Excellent video! I myself was born during 1971, and after much research honestly believe that it was the last best year for the America of old...(nothing to do with my being born obviously)... 1971 had the Best music, best standard of living, best family values, best cars, style, etc. There were many changes needed still of course, but at lwe were on the right track, we all still had each other. Who can say such a thing today? They now have us so divided, and at each other's throats instead of holding those in power responsible for the greed and corruption plaguing our nation over the last 100 plus years. Anyway, this video left out one very important and massive 1971 fact. One which was the final stage of robbing Americans of their fiscal futures they deserved, and one which is also what is about to finish bankrupting America. It's the signing away of the Gold Standard. An act which ushered in America's full allegiance & dependance to the "Federal Reserve Banking System" (which has ZERO to do with anything Federally funded as it is privately owned) and along with it the modern -and likely to fail soon- Fractional Banking System we all use today. IMO, this was Nixon's worst and most treasonous action by far which set in motion a new world order that is about to take full fruition. However, for many historians, Nixon may actually have signed those papers under severe duress from the powers that be at that time. Please pray for our future.
Also in 1971…
Soul Train hosted by the late Don Cornelius premiered in Syndication.
I can relate to all these events being 18 at the time. Cheers. 🇨🇦
My mom and dad will be celebrating their 50th anniversary this October. I guess 1971 really was a good year.
I can remember going to my grandparents 50th & they seemed old.
@@samanthab1923 Wait till you turn 60 or 70. Time flies like a meteor. You'll see, soon enough.
Stella Rocquie 😂
By any chance is one of them on the 13th?
I was a child during these years...it brings many memories back to my mind, but also alerts me of things I was too young to know
In 1971 my sister gave me a copy of “Tapestry” for my twelfth birthday. I played the hell out of it. I no longer have anything to play it on, but I still have it.
Its on my Iphone
I bet a LOT of us are looking for turntables, Amy! I guess they simply don't have the talent to do music like that anymore.
@@starmnsixty1209 A lot of catalog companies carry them now, that is, if you're up to paying $30 or $40 for vinyl. I'm glad I kept EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ALBUMS. And they're in perfect, mint condition.
Yea, kept all my albums and 45's, have a turntable and there's nothing that takes me back in time more than the sound of crackling when you drop the needle
@@debrahelmlinger6256 HAHAHAH, me too.....only problem is now all you can hear is crackles....thank god for youtube.
I turned 12 in April of 1971. My 7th & 8th grades (mid ‘71 through September of 1973) would end up being two of the very best years of my life. Itks funny, I knew they’d be as I lived them. I loved Jr. High Those were “everything” years. I had everything I wanted or, needed, for a 12 year old. I knew when jr high ended, many other things would too. And I was right.
In the previous two years, I’d fallen in love. I was popular thin, cute as a button & loved the world and everyone’s in it. Cavity inducing bubble gum music on AM was king: some songs can still cause a gut punch of emotion. Brian’s Song still makes me cry , Carol King is strewn throughout my Spotify. The Homecoming was appointment viewing when it premiered during the. Christmas season of ‘71. I’m 62 now. Just lost my mom and i feel lost, unsure what to do next. In time I will….I hope.
And on occasion, I still think of my cute Jr High raison d’etre and wonder…..what if???? Then, I shake it off, face the reality of my here & now then ironically go back to the Time Machine that is You Tube.
It's sad your best years were when you were sooo young.
@@Daysleeper1000 Yep, you’re right. It is sad that those times, which now happened more than 50 years ago, were as close to perfect as it gets, but keep in mind, I viewed that era through the very limited window 12/13 year old eyes & emotionally processed them with a brain that was 14 years away from being medically, fully formed and able to reason with logic & proportion.. Those years were special because I had nothing to compare them to. My juvenile perspective back then was extremely narrow-I’d not yet witnessed life in a real sense. I grew up & moved on & put those years in to perspective. They were good, but they couldn’t/wouldn’t be on the same level as glorious things I’ve experienced as an adult…& as a retired, middle aged woman. I’m glad I had them, they’ll always be retrievable (I hope) but in the interim (thank God) I’ve found or created other happy memories to keep them company. But in all honesty, those Jr. High years will always hold an extremely special place in my soul.
@@TheLaurkenGroup I'm thinking the loss of your mother has had a major impact. My sister and I are 60 and 62, caring for both of our parents full time. We're blessed we can do this. Both parents have differing dementias, and it is exhausting.
When I hear about people thinking their best years are JUNIOR HIGH I just cannot relate.
I've had college, military, travels, wedding ( still married since 1985) children, grandchildren, career experiences that eclipse my junior high years.
We do live in dark times, and I love reminiscing YT videos, for sure. I'm personally going through very difficult times caring for both parents, as well. It's exhausting, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Wishing you the best!
@@Daysleeper1000 We all go through different odysseys in life. None of us make it through ANY of it without a scratch or any upheavals.
My very ill mother died in March of ’21. I lost my father from whom I was estranged this past May. The fact that I hold my Jr High years with such regard has a psychological basis, that’s too involved to get into. But in difficult times, we, as a species, often glom onto the perceived, ‘good ol” days’, to add ballast, if you will, but it has to be done so in a healthy, realistic manner. It can be fun & often reassuring to go back. In fact, in the absence of the ability to heal from emotional wounds inflicted for whatever reason, being able to go back in time if only via gray matter, might be the only thing many of us have. But it’s lacks logic & you realize being 12 emotionally vs 57 physically is incongruent. So, you make every effort to grow up while doing the work, & eventually you start the healing process & learn to jettison the toxicity in your life, while taking responsibility for any negatives you brought to the table.
I never married, never had kids, had no military service, but I learned all about investing & estate planning after having an absolutely fascinating 32 year career in broadcasting which allowed me meet incredible people & introduced me to travel, a bug that continues to bite, so fortunately, I quell it by taking a major vacation abroad every year. Seeing the world & being a part of it, learning from it, has filled the voids others might perceive me as having.
I could say I envy you for having what sounds like an exemplary life, with great, emotionally functional parents & a very stable home life. If that’s true, you’re extraordinarily fortunate, but I didn’t have any of those things. Instead, I’ve learned to process the unpleasantness and compartmentalize those sad, tragic memories in a safe place in which I control egress & regress. There have been been other happy components to my life, but I still hold and might always hold my Jr. High school memories as some of my very best. I see nothing wrong with that. It hasn’t by any means kept me from moving forward in giant steps. In fact, I firmly believe we must always move forward, but some of us can’t do that without going back, lifting the anchor, raising the sails & releasing the tethers on the dock, that keep us from doing so.
Cheers. I send you my best.
@@TheLaurkenGroup I relate completely to many of your issues.
I was severely abused, along with my sister and brother. I was the scapegoat, sister the lost child and brother the hero. I understand trauma all too well, especially trauma bonding and codependency. I totally get it.
You've had an amazing life, and travel is good for the soul!!!!
My sister and I have empathy never shown by our parents, but fortunately, the dementia has removed all of both parent's defensiveness, and I now have a mother I'd never had. So I'm enjoying living in the moment with both parents. Dad was a weak grandiose narc and mom a malignant borderline.
As the scapegoat, I learned never lose optimism, never lose hope. Even to my detriment.
Thank you for sharing your unique story.
I wish you the best!
The biggest event was on August 15 1971, "The Nixon Shock", when the US dollar was no longer convertible to gold. It was supposed to be "temporary" but it has already been 50 years...The debasement of fiat currency is still going on to this day, and it appears to be getting worse...
1971 has some of the best action films, such as Dirty Harry, Shaft, and The French Connection.
Loved Shaft....shut your mouth!
@@jamescress Or as they say now, STFU, LOL!
Duel also premiered on ABC tv
Funny how many younger people would call this 'the 60s' if they did not see the title. Fact is, most of the '60s stuff/topics really were the last 3 or so years of the 1960s and went well into the 1970s. Most younger do not know the real 1960s
Huge difference between '65 and '67 or '68.
exactly..but my question is what do you consider the real 60's? the early beatles, drag strips??....my 60's is stuff like that huge protest in d.c....and the pentagon papers
So many other things happened that year that just one video would be hard. Loved it ! For me that year holds very special significants. Keep up the good work
Leroy "Satchel" Paige pitched his last MAJOR LEAGUE game at age 59!!! In an exhibition game, he struck out Don Drysdale (a man 30 years YOUNGER!) at age 63!!! I'm 56 and I haven't even thrown a baseball AT ALL in 20 years! 😳
YAY! I have been waiting for this year for months due to being born in 1971!!
Me too, October 6th...😆
Happy Birthday to you and me🎂
March 2nd was my birthday. Happy birthday to us all!!!
Me too! January 31! 🎉
1971 was also the year of the launch of the Ziggy comic strip in newspapers and the launch of the Amtrak American Passenger Train System.
Love this series. Thanks for doing it
1971, the beginning of the end of real muscle car engines with lower compression ratios.
My dad was a steel worker, he hated the TV. We had Black and white TV, they never did get a color tv until they moved. Archie bunker, well dad liked him and Bonanza. Outside of Walter on the news, that TV was shut off. Football broke him, all the lads loved the game. We played it, watched it and listened to it. Ah to be Irish in America. Strikes, gov't cheese, and closing plants and mills. Buffalo was done and we all knew it.
Junior in high school. Got my first job at Jack in the Box. Bought my first car, a 1967 fastback 390 Mustang. Many great memories!
Also in 1971…
The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour premiered on CBS.
The New Dick Van Dyke Show premiered on CBS.
The Electric Company premiered on PBS.

Love The Waltons. I was 12 years old when The Homecoming was shown. Still watch the show every week day.
My sister, and my first girlfriend were born. My folks moved into the house we still live in. Walt Disney World opens.
9 years old then, remember all that stuff, I think click- clacks we're popular that year. It was a pretty dangerous toy.
a lot of the ordinary working class can not afford a house like Archie lived in. all it took in them days was one person working and not a high paying job just the ordinary working stiff could afford the mortgage.
April 2, 1971 my husband and I moved into our own little mortgaged 3 bedroom house. He was 25 and I was 23 and we were expecting our 3rd child. It was tough sometimes, but we managed on his salary and had few luxuries. One of the best things was having really good neighbors and their kids growing up with ours.
The kids are now all in their 50s and some are grandparents and I'm just sorry my husband didn't live long enough to see our great grandchildren.
Oh, I'm still living in that little house and am blessed that I still have some of the same old neighbors from 71 and that my newer neighbors are very good people who watch out for me.
Peace and blessings to all!
That same house in Astoria Queens would be more than $590,000 & more than one person would be working to pay the mortgage.
Anna Rodriguez It's hard to believe but by 71 my parents sold their starter home & built a 5 bedroom 3 bath. They were only 32 & 28!
@@samanthab1923 my parents got their first house when I was 7 years old. The house was less than a year old. My parents bought it from a man who was getting a Devorce because his wife cheated on him with her boss. In them days a lot of times it was in the husband's name. It was priced in the range a ordinary working man could afford. Now for my childhood home it sells for a little over a million.
David VonBrawn Sad to say but good deals are always had when divorce enters the picture.
I was just 14 years old and just entered high school. I remember when, All in the Family,and the rest of the sitcoms came on CBS starting 8:00 pm.
I also remember Soul Train on Saturday afternoon.
The Sooouullll Train with Don Cornelius LOL When that came on the cartoons were over and it was time for bike riding and friends.

I was at the fight at MSG Between Ali and Frazier. One of the great memories of my life.
I remember all the TV commercials talking about all the closed-circuit venues out there to buy tickets for it. It was the largest boxing payday at the time. Then watching it on Wide World of Sports two weeks later with the late Howard Cosell as the commentator.
@@spokanetomcat1
Today they have the fight on pay per view on Friday night and its on youtube an hour later.
@@charles-y2z6c There is another big pay-per-view heavyweight fight coming on. Fury vs Wilder III. Yep maybe see it an hour later on here...LOL
Ali and Frazier literally and slowly killed each other in all those fights.
@@vernwallen4246
It was a brutal slugfest. However Ernie Shavers was the one that knocked them both into brain damage. Everyone that fought Shavers always said he hit them the hardest. Its weird, I thought pugilist sports would go away, but they have become even more popular, MMA is brutal.
This was the beginning if the transition period for cars, from muscle cars to lemons. By the end of the decade, newer cars were in the shop more often than older ones.
I’ve been watching All in the family on Amazon. I can’t believe the stuff they got away with saying. Times sure have changed!
That was the year I graduated high school my God I'm old
@Allie M Johnson • My wife always complains about getting old (she is an old 58 vs me being a young 71) and I always tell her that getting old is better than the alternative...
Did you go to your 50th reunion?
@@samanthab1923 No. I never went to the prom either
@@AllieJ123 I also graduated in 71 and did not attend the prom. And will not attend any of their reunions.
It’s hard to remember a lot about that year since, I was 3 going on 4 that year. I do remember watching the Yearling and, when, the Waltons came out with series, I remember that it aired on Thursday nights at 8pm and, we rarely missed a episode.
Not sure but I think the Waltons were on Thursday nights. I watched it all the time.
@@jamescress Yep, that’s exactly what, I was saying!
ok now you got it right...good job on focusing on 'nam and the BIG protest( this is re-enacted in forrest gump).....the younger crowd needs to know how important the anti-war effort was......oh and yeah, we all had tapestry...so far away, doesnt anyone stay in one place anymore??......sinatra had a golden voice but his politics were dog-crap.
Macrame plant hangers, avocado and gold appliances. TV’s with antennas and 3 channels. Your phone hung on the wall beside the calendar. Simpler times, good times.
My great-grandfather ("Gramps") died in April 1971, he was born in 1883 -- the year Krakatoa exploded -- I was 5. He saw the telephone, cars, radio, airplanes, TV, and I sat on my great-grandmother's lap ("Granny" born 1890) to watch the moon landing in 1969, I was three. She died in 1972.
Their sons are gone (my grandfather), and last year I lost dad to Covid.
Now I'm up next. I plan to stick around at least another 45 years. I hope to make it to 100 by taking care of myself.
Everyday you wake up is a gift.
Don't squander them.
Why do people comment that they were born the year that the video is featuring?
Se do not know them so i dont get it. It is as if they are asking strangers to say Happy Birthday…..
A lot of people are born every day. FYI. LOL.
The Waltons ha. Great storytelling. Goodnight John-boy.
1971, I remember that year well. I think the style of "Hot Pants was in peak popularity with the young ladies that year. I graduated in June from 8th grade at a 1st to 8 grades Catholic Elementary school.
freakin girls were hippies trapped in jeans 🥰
I wore hot pants! I don't imagine the girls at Catholic school did though!😁🤣😂

“It wasn’t easy.”
I have the DVD set. I'm enjoying it now. I didn't care for it much back then when I was 11 in 1971.
71 was definitely a pivotal year, the Vega, Pinto, & Gremlin were in the showrooms, the big 4 auto makers had some cool looking cars with slightly less horsepower, Columbo, McMillan and Wife premiered, CBS purged it's country programs, McCormick Place had returned to the lakefront after burning to the ground in 67, my last year in grade school, then came junior high school, but that's another story, & the last time we went to California for Xmas, where did the time go, we blinked!!!
I was 9 years old in Canada and I remember all the 18 year olds coming into Canada so they wouldn't have to go and get killed in Vietnam. Can't blame them one bit!!! What a waste of innocent lives on both sides!!
Tapestry one of my all time favorite albums. I was 13 & still have the vinyl.☮️🌻
all in the family was the best,,,,, the socialist living off of the back of a republican ,,, its so funny and still true today
My dad helped paint Disney World when it was under construction. In 1972 my mother got a job as a house keeper at the Contemporary hotel. She then went to a technical school and got her license to be a PBX operator and started working at the Polynesian Resort answering calls. She worked there for many years until a new building was built for the operators and it is/was called Vista Communications. My mother worked there for well over 25 years and even continued to work after she retired. She never missed a day of work. Ever.
I have worked at Disney in two different departments: The wardrobe department at Magic Kingdom the transferred to the Security department. After I quit I went to school to be a medical assistant and later on got a job in First Aide working with the company doctors. I was the very first medical assistant to work for Disney. Not even Disney Land had any. Fast forward several years when I left the medical field I worked at Disney as a scenic artist but not for Disney. When Animal Kingdom was under construction I worked there as a scenic artist and when the project ended I moved over to the newest built area, Asia.
I worked for a company from California and it consisted of two girls, a male boss and local male day laborer. We painted the primate enclosures, the entire water flume (Kali Rapids ride) and all of the elements that surround it including the burning log pile. I enjoyed my time working in the parks but then moved on to work at Seaworld as a scenic artist and prop fabricator and retired from there.
Oh, while I was working at First Aide at the Magic Kingdom I met Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin when they walked through the lobby to get into the park. As soon as they were at Coke Corner, my son shook hands with them. My son was working as a custodian at the time.
Now back in 1971, I was at Convalescent Hospital for Children, and I was in Olympia cottage.
At that time, I had a very, very, very big, enormous, gigantic crush on a teacher there, who's name was
Judy Sherwood, and whenever I would see
her (Judy Sherwood, that is) I would run through the halls of the school building,
yelling, hollering, screaming Flicking With The Camera All Night Long, Cottage Cheese, Hey Hey With The Monkees, etc, etc, etc.
Also at that time,I was very, very afraid of cameras and flashes.
When I saw a Kodak Instanatic camera that had a flashcube on it, the flash went off, and I would yell, scream, and cry, because I was so afraid of a camera.
And when a movie was over, the words The End would come on the screen, and that frightened me very much.
And we had a staff whom I was very afraid of-his name was
Larry Hyde.
Larry would often spank my hind end at times, and I didn't like that.

9 or 10 then and just stunned by carole king's voice. Bought her album tapestry with my paper route money and every year after bought every album she ever released up to this day, which in 2021 is a little over 30 . Learned 2 things from her awesome collection: no matter what is happening in a person's life, good or bad, happy or sad, there's a carole king song that. And 2, stilled stunned by her voice.
The BEST summer ive ever had in 71 !
Sweet golden memories !
The First email was sent in October 1969. You make a lot of mistakes.

For 3/4ths of that year I was 13 y/o. At the moment I don't recall a lot of happenings, but when I got older I liked AITF & a few of Carole King's songs.
My memory isn't always the best, but hey I'm pushing 64!!🤣👊
Oh I did a (in front of class) book report on the book: Brian's Song. Not sure if that was in '71 or following years.🤔
I turned 4 in 1971, this is the year my earliest memories come from. I thought we lived in a mansion, but as an adult looking back it was a tiny little tract house in a 1950s subdivision.
....where everybody worked to keep the 'colored people ' out.
Every family had an Archie Bunker. Sometimes, as in mine, Archie Bunker's viewpoints came out of a woman's mouth.
1971, the year I was born on February 4th. I always have had an interest of what was going on in the world when I was born.
I'm so excited for the next episode... 1972, my birth year!!!
Major Professional Sports Championships during 1971 -
MLB World Series - Pirates defeated Orioles, four games to three.
NBA Finals - Bucks swept Bullets, four games to zero.
NFL Super Bowl V - Colts defeated Cowboys, 16-13
NHL Stanley Cup Finals - Canadiens defeated Black Hawks, four games to three.
Game 4 of the 1971 World Series was the first-ever night game in the history of the event.
ABA finals---Utah Stars beat the Kentucky Colonels, four games to three.
@@elwin38 I remember seeing at least one of those games on CBS
In September of 1971, the hit TV show "Hee-Haw!" was no longer on the CBS Television Network. So instead, it was transferred to syndicated TV on many independent TV stations all over the fifty states & the District of Columbia.
What? No mention of the Osmonds’ song, One Bad Apple, going to #1?🍏
It's because the Osmond's sucked.
I don't remember much from 1971. I was born then 😀🎉
Was 20 years old in 1971.
My sister & 1 went to Buffalo,NY to shop only to find Jane Fonda holding a massive anti Vietnam War rally . Our big brother was in Vietnam. Even tho I hated that war, so much of the chants, were very anti military, made me very sad.
Guess that's why I was a conservative hippie.
I know there will always be differences between people but…I’ve never seen so much hate and unrest than I have over the past few years. So much anti American sentiment. What for? If it’s so bad here then move to China already, is what I say. Back in the seventies everyone seemed so much closer then. Man I pray to get back to something like back then before my life is over. It’s just so sad.
I agree
Best year of my life.
In 1971, NBC-TV had decided not to renew the sitcom series "Julia" for the 1971-1972 season. That also went the same thing for ABC-TV series "That Girl!" with Marlo Thomas. In other words: too bad, so sad for them.
The year 1971, is also the year when Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate realized he has extremely large choppers.
I was 9 in 1971 and the one thing that was not talked about was the earthquake that happened in February. On February,9 th 1971 there was a bad quake that killed I can't remember how many people but it was bad. Look it up. I do know that it was the sad ending of the school that was used in the tv show "Room 222".
In September of 1971, the family sitcom series "The Smith Family" made its debut on ABC-TV. It starred Henry Fonda, with Janet Blair, Darlene Carr (as Cynthia), Ronnie Howard and Michael-James Wixted. It lasted two years to say the very least actually.
i was BORN in 1971' Right After Janis Joplin Died ☹️
1971 Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the LA Public Library, fella.
I turned 16 and got saved that year. All around year of big changes and so many memories.
Thank you Jesus, thanks for sharing
RTOD, good for you. 👍
I’m just a young mexican stoner trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos on my RUclips channel 😪😪…
The Jesus Movement was just getting started. It saved our social world. I hope it comes back, we need it.
@@yfa6244 We're very close to the end times. Many are looking to God but there won't be a big revival that turns the world around.
If anyone reading this seeks God, the bible says that no one comes to God except through Jesus, his son, who died on the cross to pay for our sins, and was resurrected and sits at the right hand of the father.
Accept Jesus as your savior today.
Salvation is through faith in Jesus only. No works or sacraments or meditation or good intentions will do it.
WWIII is about to break out, famine is close, as is disease. If you died today, would you spend eternity in hell, or in heaven with Jesus?
Teaser and the Firecat by Cat Stevens was released in October 1971.
I ❤🤍💙proclaim healing over demographics and civil attitudes and outcomes in Jesus name amen 🙏 Over all nations.
You left out a very important inflection point or news , we went off the silver standard in 1971 , thus 1970 was the last year of our last silver coin , the U.S. half dollar .
