I remember singing this song with my mom on the way to school. She loved this song, and so do I. Now my 12 year of sings to when we are in the car. Great music transcends three generations and probably more.
Just adding my 2-cents coming late to comments. I am 65 years young this year, and this was one of my favorite songs starting way back in 1975 when I was 16 yrs old. And to this day, it remains on of my favorites. It brings back so many great memories. Especially when I started dating my girlfriend in '75, I proposed to her in 1979, got married in 1980, and we have been married ever since! To us, songs from the 1970's are some of our very favorites.
Yeah I remember going to the snake pit it was a little 3-2 bar out behind the big bar. We had a jukebox and the pool table. And of course Tombstone pizzas. I remember playing these songs on the jukebox. Slow Ride. And many other great songs of the era
I remember the first time i heard this song. Standing out in my front yard ,it was summer and life just seemed like nothing was ever going to be wrong.
I saw them and at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and got to go on stage after the concert and met all of them. Got the autographs of Larry Lee, John Dillon, Steve Cash & Michael Granda. Still have it framed today in 2019.
I saw them in Kansas City, sharing a bill with Brewer and Shipley. At the end after they both did their sets, they got together and played some stuff together. Just jamming really, they did songs they thought they forgot, and some they didn't know they knew. It was awesome
I still just about everyday to 70's music. I will never stop listening to that era. Best time of my life. At that time I never really knew what real love was. Now! I think I do. Thanx for upload🤗🤗🤗🤗
I was born in Hannibal, MO. in 63' and this song played on the airwaves during the mid seventies and is no doubt the best song during the most memorable time period of my life when all of my family and friends were together and everything was just right.
"...most memorable time period of my life when all of my family and friends were together and everything was just right." I know just what you mean and miss it terribly. Peace be with you, my friend.
It came out in the early 70’s as a matter fact the last year of the early 70’s but it didn’t get popular and played on the radio until you got it right brother 1975 the mid 70’s
Explanation for non-Brits out there - In the '70s The Old Grey Whistle Test was a weekly late night show on UK TV, it was about our only access to current music other than mainstream pop and introduced a lot of people to artists they might otherwise never hear of. I clearly remember watching this live set from TOMD in 1974 and being blown away by it. I went out and bought the album later, but at the time I recorded it from the TV with a microphone onto a mono cassette recorder. We didn't have VCRs back then, it beats me where people get this stuff to post here but thanks Cobraman115 for reawakening this fond memory!
This song got stuck in my head for some reason at work today so I came here to find it. When i was little my Grandpa sent me a radio. I was very excited about because he lived out of State. If if wasn't a school night Mom would let me fall asleep with it on. This song was always on. Never heard it live before and it's my first time seeing the band.
Man, those were the days ... miss them. Returned from Vietnam in 1971! Served 2 tours, but got messed up bad from shrapnel from a Chinese RPG... Lucky boy, but partied too much at first. Still here, though 😳
Thumbs up if you miss music from the 70's, 80's & early to mid 90s! (I have no idea what the hell is going on w/ music right now. It's official. I've gotten old.)
I loved this song back in the day when I first heard it in 1974, and I still love it now. Beautiful harmonies and melodies. Great to hear this live version with improvisation. Ozark's are a treasure.
You are the only 1 so far that has gotten that right a lot of people thinks that this song came out in 1975 but that was the single… They don’t realize that it came out in 1974
I am guessing you are probably referring more to the performance than the actual recording because this is not a good recording at all. Perhaps for the time and period but as an overall....no
@@musiccollector thats a symphonic review of a one hit wonder disco era song that graced 8 track players lol more than anyones records tbh.. in a compilation at that.

AS FOR YOUR OTHER POST WHO DOESN'T REMEMBER FIRST VW BUSES OF ALL SIZES. MY ANKLES WERE TOO THICK TO WEAR THEM. I WAS. REALLY JEALOUS OF ALL THOSE THAT HAD NO PROBLEM WEARING THEM! I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER IF WE CALLED THEM CLACKERS OR CLAPPERS NO MATTER. MY BROTHER ( I STILL LOVE THAT BOY) HE'S 59.& LIVES ABOUT 10 HOURS FROM ME SO I DON'T GET TO SEE VERY OFTEN.ANYHOW GREAT MEMORIES! APPRECIATE IT.
I wouldn't call the Daredevils a "one hit wonder." This one charted fairly high by comparison to their other singles but their first big hit was "If Ya Wanna Get to Heaven" which was a pretty cool, grungey rocker. They also had a really pretty tune from the "Car Over the Lake" album, "If I Only Knew," which also features their drummer's silky high vocals. It sounds almost Beatlesque. I highly recommend it.
yeah,,but did these songs make the top 40 like this one.....I've never heard of them....I'm in the music business and have been for 42 years...my dad was a rock singer with 13 singles and two albums..I personally have been going to rehearsals,gigs and sessions at the record plant in n.y.c since I was 5... I know the music business and the business of music....two entirely different entities.....for a band to be a complete success like let's say kiss..you have to have at least 3 to 4 follow up albums in the can that are as good or hopefully better than your first...I mention kiss because paul and gene are extremely smart and astute businessmen with a knack for writing generic music I call ear candy and always have their follow ups already done....with that said....just because they do business this way does not mean the music will meet or exceed your expectations.....nine times out of ten it won't..but unfortunately unlike mcdonald's where if you buy a lousy cheeseburger you can take it back and get another one that will be better..,once you plop your money on the counter of your favorite record store and buy the next kiss album... if you take it home and it sucks....you don't have the recourse of taking it back and getting a better one or your money back...your hit....you own it and they get paid....that's the business of music my dear.....that's the reality of it....
@@rogerkoob9904 Gee, I just love it when a male mansplains things to me in a confident, patronizing way. It makes me feel all tingly all over, like a schoolgirl and then I wanna lay down and spread my legs for some reason, dunno why... NOT!!! Jesus Rog, LOSE THE PATRONIZING TONE, YA TESTOSTERONE-ADDLED FUCKWIT! I've been playing music professionally since 1975. I have over a quarter million road miles. I've spent hundreds of hours in pro studios, as a hired gun or working with my own bands, RECORDING, not "hangin' around" and watching. Yes, you dumb arrogant male, the first two OMD albums made it into the Top 40 albums list, two of their singles made it it into the Top 40 singles list, including this one which made it to NUMBER THREE. Just because you ain't never heard of 'em doesn't mean they never existed or weren't significant enough for you to notice. WHAT a fucked-up attitude! "Well, I never heard of them so they must have been nothin'!" DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YA PUTZ! What the hell do YOU do in the music business? You an agent? A promoter? You sound like one. You sure as hell don't sound like a player, a pro who's learned respect for his superiors. Whenever I hear a male sneering, I can usually hear all the envy and spite in his voice too and, bubba, you sound like a thirteen year old smart-ass trash-talkin' for the lolz. I don't effin' NEED a snotty, mean-mouthed male to tell me ANYTHING. I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you put a sock in it and start listening instead of running your all-wise, all-knowing mouth? Your response wasn't an opinion, a comment, or even just a careless addendum. It was a fuckin' sneering, patronizing lecture. The last male who did that to my face still finds it hard to chew and he limps, courtesy of yours truly. Wanna try for two in a row? On the other hand, I may block you. Just for the lolz.
for one thing....I am not trying to sound arrogant or snotty....if that's the way you took it..my deepest apologies....my.point was not to slag the band...I love this band and their music....my point was to try to explain the difference between the music business and the business of music......if I sounded like an asshole it certainly was NOT my intent...I wrote a guitar instructional column for a music magazine in new York....I've been a guitarist for 42 years.in bands.and studio work...I had.my own bands in both ct. and boston playing with berklee cats....so it's not my first gig by any stretch......but I was just trying to make an example of how the.business of music works....that was my only.reason for what I said...I am not an asshole.i happen to be a really nice guy but when it comes to music it's no hobby...its my life and.my passion....sometimes I have the issue of coming off a little heavy handed......it is not.my intent....I like to try to educate people who aren't in the business how it works....because 90% of the record buying public has no idea how.it works.....that's why I used kiss as an example...not trying to slag them either..I am a huge kiss fan,,,I've seen them 3 times and I love their music....I've met paul and gene and I know how they do business....it doesn't make them bad people...it makes them very smart and in this business that will eat you up alive you need to have the business accumen to be a success....if not you end up in the cut out bin....so please accept my heartfelt apologies for coming off like an asshole and insulting you....believe me it was not my intent to insult you..on the contrary ,,I was trying to explain how this business works.....that's all....again if I came off arrogant and heavy handed my sincerest apologies and I do hope you will accept them.....I'm sorry.....sometimes I take for granted that some people do know how this business works...my bad....and I hope you will accept my most sincerest apologies for coming off like a jerk.....I'm just a musician like you all and it was never my intent to slag either band....peace..
@Charles Peterson So does the drummer for Triumph and other bands. The point Richard was making was how easy this guy makes it look almost like he is not playing. Phil and Don make facial expressions while playing. This drummer is so cool and calm its remarkable
Very talented group...singer/drummer awesome and pitch-perfect my goodness! I agree with other comments that I could listen to the guitar solo over and over and perfect tasty pocket from the percussion and the keyboards also filled the spaces awesomely. I have a new appreciation for this group after hearing them perform this live. I would be scared to death to pull this off as a cover...almost nobody could which is the true mark of a unique band.
Rip : Steve Cash (May 5 1946 - October 14 2019) An original & founding member who co-wrote thier two biggest hits, this one at No 3 in 1975 and 'If you want to get to heaven' (thier first hit) at No 25 in 1974
why would anyone think a woman was singing this song? I've been a fan of OMD since 70's but always loved this song. Thanks for the live version, brings back good memories.
You have moved me to tears thinking about that wonderful, magical year of 1975. "You say it's easy, just a natural thing like playing music, but you never sing". "WOW! What a song! Thanks for the memories of summer 1975. When life was simpler, the world gentler, and music infinitely more awesome! Nothing at all today like this. :-( I never get tired of this gem, much like "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". You guys make the Ozarks proud - makes me wanna visit there someday!
Legend has it the groovy music has been resonating within that neighborhood and if you open a sealed drawer from that year ... this song will be inside .
Transported right back to my 12 year old self mid 70's rolling down the road in my big sister's Bug. Never fails! Where have these type of songs gone???
My favorite song when I was 4 years old (1973). My babysitter lived next door and her name was Jackie. I always thought it was a woman singing until I saw this video a couple years ago, and I also though the song was about my babysitter, being 4 years old. This is the most compelling live video I've ever seen, and probably will ever see. God bless ya Supe and company \M/OZARKMOUNTAINDAREDEVILS\M/
I'm now 59 and remember this song well. However, all this time I thought this was sung by a female! Goes to show you're never to old to experience the joy in the element of surprise. 😄❤
This is what music is built on ... real musicians who play with heart, and wrote how music was all about.. sad to see such pride go away to quick and easy cash ...
The term "one hit wonder" always had a negative connotation to it; a song everybody loved for a month and then were embarrassed to admit it afterwards. I would much rather listen to the "bad" music of the 70's than the "good" music of today.
I'm right with you. A great deal of the music of today back in the day. My dad would refer to as screaming senseless BS and I'm cleaning it up. he would been speaking about my AC/DC at the time. Today I know I sound quite a bit like my dad and I'm great with that. I would be saying that about today's music. Not all of it but most of it. One of the reasons I'm so glad that I can flash back and smile at what once was.
+Dave Wray I saw OMD in 2014. I'd never seen them, and didn't think I'd like it. They blew the roof off that theater. I was one of the best shows I've seen - and I've seen a lot of shows! These guys can really lay it down!
rockzulla, you are so Right! l come from a large family and have an uncle just a few years older than I am. He introduced me to this music when I was very little, I loved it then, and I still love it now. Thanks uncle Roger, you are still the coolest uncle ever
I was born in 85’ and remember the very first time I heard this song which I love. In 1989 I was in the backseat of my parent’s Camaro in the middle of an Iowa blizzard going down a county road. Remember seeing headlights hitting complete whiteout and my mom was freaking out about the weather. My dad was singing this while I was slapping my knees going along with the song. Weird to remember that so vividly but I do....good times. Found an original vinyl down in Tennessee and my son now listens to them as well.
I never knew that that was a man singing Jackie Blue. WOW!!! All of these years I thought it was a lady singer. WOW what a voice. I simply love this timeless song. AMAZING!
Ooh, Jackie Blue Lives her life from inside of her room Hides a smile when she's wearin' a frown Ooh, Jackie you're not so down You like your life in a free-form style You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile There never seems to be quite enough Floating around to fill your lovin' cup Ooh, Jackie Blue What's a game girl, if you never lose? Ask a winner and you'll probably find Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime Don't try to tell me that you're not aware Of what you're doing and that you don't care You say it's easy, just a natural thing Like playing music, but you never sing Ooh, Jackie Blue Making wishes that never come true Going places that you've never been Ooh, Jackie Blue, you're going again Ooh, Jackie Blue Lives a dream that can never come true Making love is like sifting through sand Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand Every day, in your indigo eyes I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine You'd take the world but you won't take the time Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue Lives her life from inside of a room Makes you think that her life is a drag Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Hey, hey, hey, hey
Not gonna lie. I've loved this song since I was a teen in the 1970s. But I was in complete shock when more than 40 years later, I discovered it was NOT a woman singing the lead vocal.
This is such a cool record. Heard it on a radio station that could barely be picked up on my cheap and small transistor radio. But loved it when I first heard it and have always wondered when I'd find it. Its one of those songs that should done so much more in UK. Recorded it when my first girlfriend came round for the very first time back in 1970s. Decades later I married her after we remet...she gave me several years of married and first family shit - divorced now. Bring back the OGWT!
Don L ... I'm not sure if the mention of Prince is derogatory. I used to make fun of him because he put on such a sissyish appearance. His songs didn't appeal to me since my tastes ran toward hard rock, the harder, the better. As time went by, I started extending my listening. Video music helped a bunch. Prince was an extremely talented musician who I learned to appreciate very late in his career. His demise was somewhat unexpected, but not too surprising.
I hear you on that...been telling my grandkids that... takes talent to play in a band...plus it's fun to watch them perform and see them getting in to the grove
Notice that the guitar pick-ups aren't plugged-in. This is somewhat faked which is common for a TV performance from this era. Would be unrecognizable otherwise.
One of my favorite 70s songs and one of the few that sticks in my head from when I was a kid. It sets such a mood, kinda melancholy. Any Beatles fans hear a similarity of the staccato piano chords of the verse to "Martha My Dear?"
This song actually helped to establish the overall sound of the 70's. Iconic in an odd yet dynamic way. Plenty of memories from my grade school years hearing this tune.
Saw them sing this song live when I was about 12 or 13 years old in a community college(Westark Fort Smith, Arkansas) gymnasium a couple of blocks from my house. My buddy and I walked down there hoping to hear the concert from the sidewalk but ended up knowing the ticket taker and he let us in for free. It was too cool, brings back great memories.
If you're at least 50 years old, I bet you remember this song on the radio, dear GOD bring back those days asap
Riiiight!!
This song was on the radio in 1974, so 50 year old may not have remembered it.
Oh yeah i remember this tune mid 70's livin in Arizona at the time 13 yrs old from 1 of Phoenix's FM stations!
Sadly. That's never going to happen.
I remember singing this song with my mom on the way to school. She loved this song, and so do I. Now my 12 year of sings to when we are in the car. Great music transcends three generations and probably more.
Just adding my 2-cents coming late to comments. I am 65 years young this year, and this was one of my favorite songs starting way back in 1975 when I was 16 yrs old.

Same, only I was 15 in '75. Played this record over and over...
One of the coolest songs from the 70's. Haunting and unforgettable.
Where is the lost time and space where this vibe exists? I want to be there!
How is this song haunting? I could never figure it out. But it certainly is
@@alvogeljr ….. it’s that slide guitar
It does put out a vibe of it's own
What about the Ballroom Blitz?!
I thank God that I grew up in the era of classic rock. If you didn't grow up in the era, my condolences
1975, a great year in pop music! When I hear this song, I think of Ace "How Long" & 10cc's " I'm not in love"... awesome tunes!
alley kitty
I agree
“How Long” is another great tune.

WOW! A time of great music when life was carefree and people were normal.
I'm a 70s kid...remembering this song while hanging out in the front yard with a bunch of kids goofing off...great memories!

This is one of those songs that you can play to death and you'll never really grow bored with it.

Was a great song to listen to on the radio while driving back in the day.

I know the music business and the business of music....two entirely different entities.....for a band to be a complete success like let's say kiss..you have to have at least 3 to 4 follow up albums in the can that are as good or hopefully better than your first...I mention kiss because paul and gene are extremely smart and astute businessmen with a knack for writing generic music I call ear candy and always have their follow ups already done....with that said....just because they do business this way does not mean the music will meet or exceed your expectations.....nine times out of ten it won't..but unfortunately unlike mcdonald's where if you buy a lousy cheeseburger you can take it back and get another one that will be better..,once you plop your money on the counter of your favorite record store and buy the next kiss album... if you take it home and it sucks....you don't have the recourse of taking it back and getting a better one or your money back...your hit....you own it and they get paid....that's the business of music my dear.....that's the reality of it....
@@rogerkoob9904 Gee, I just love it when a male mansplains things to me in a confident, patronizing way. It makes me feel all tingly all over, like a schoolgirl and then I wanna lay down and spread my legs for some reason, dunno why...
NOT!!!
Jesus Rog, LOSE THE PATRONIZING TONE, YA TESTOSTERONE-ADDLED FUCKWIT! I've been playing music professionally since 1975. I have over a quarter million road miles. I've spent hundreds of hours in pro studios, as a hired gun or working with my own bands, RECORDING, not "hangin' around" and watching.
Yes, you dumb arrogant male, the first two OMD albums made it into the Top 40 albums list, two of their singles made it it into the Top 40 singles list, including this one which made it to NUMBER THREE.
Just because you ain't never heard of 'em doesn't mean they never existed or weren't significant enough for you to notice. WHAT a fucked-up attitude! "Well, I never heard of them so they must have been nothin'!" DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YA PUTZ!
What the hell do YOU do in the music business? You an agent? A promoter? You sound like one. You sure as hell don't sound like a player, a pro who's learned respect for his superiors. Whenever I hear a male sneering, I can usually hear all the envy and spite in his voice too and, bubba, you sound like a thirteen year old smart-ass trash-talkin' for the lolz.
I don't effin' NEED a snotty, mean-mouthed male to tell me ANYTHING. I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you put a sock in it and start listening instead of running your all-wise, all-knowing mouth? Your response wasn't an opinion, a comment, or even just a careless addendum. It was a fuckin' sneering, patronizing lecture. The last male who did that to my face still finds it hard to chew and he limps, courtesy of yours truly. Wanna try for two in a row?
On the other hand, I may block you. Just for the lolz.
for one thing....I am not trying to sound arrogant or snotty....if that's the way you took it..my deepest apologies....my.point was not to slag the band...I love this band and their music....my point was to try to explain the difference between the music business and the business of music......if I sounded like an asshole it certainly was NOT my intent...I wrote a guitar instructional column for a music magazine in new York....I've been a guitarist for 42 years.in bands.and studio work...I had.my own bands in both ct. and boston playing with berklee cats....so it's not my first gig by any stretch......but I was just trying to make an example of how the.business of music works....that was my only.reason for what I said...I am not an asshole.i happen to be a really nice guy but when it comes to music it's no hobby...its my life and.my passion....sometimes I have the issue of coming off a little heavy handed......it is not.my intent....I like to try to educate people who aren't in the business how it works....because 90% of the record buying public has no idea how.it works.....that's why I used kiss as an example...not trying to slag them either..I am a huge kiss fan,,,I've seen them 3 times and I love their music....I've met paul and gene and I know how they do business....it doesn't make them bad people...it makes them very smart and in this business that will eat you up alive you need to have the business accumen to be a success....if not you end up in the cut out bin....so please accept my heartfelt apologies for coming off like an asshole and insulting you....believe me it was not my intent to insult you..on the contrary ,,I was trying to explain how this business works.....that's all....again if I came off arrogant and heavy handed my sincerest apologies and I do hope you will accept them.....I'm sorry.....sometimes I take for granted that some people do know how this business works...my bad....and I hope you will accept my most sincerest apologies for coming off like a jerk.....I'm just a musician like you all and it was never my intent to slag either band....peace..
This is the very first song I remember hearing on the radio in 1976 while riding in our family van; I was 5 yrs old.
I was 11 when I first hear this on the radio. Most haunting lead guitar I had ever, cool lyrics, great tune!
This is just as spellbinding now as it was when it was a new hit. Thanks for this musical memory!
does the vocals and drums like it's nothing.... pretty cool
LOL thought the same thing
@Charles Peterson So does the drummer for Triumph and other bands. The point Richard was making was how easy this guy makes it look almost like he is not playing. Phil and Don make facial expressions while playing. This drummer is so cool and calm its remarkable
@Charles Peterson That would be Don Brewer
@Charles Peterson Great band, they should be in the RRHF
It's not difficult
It is so great to be able to go back in time when you hear one of the old greats. Thanks to OMD.
Reminds me of the old “Midnight Special”.
British/European television was always more Rock n Roll friendly that American TV...
Summer of 1975...my first love was then!
LARRY LEE on lead vocals and drums! :)
Transitioning from falsetto to chest voice, while drumming. Nicely done.
@Mike Bailey i thought that this was a chick singing it when i first heard it as a kid !
Very talented group...singer/drummer awesome and pitch-perfect my goodness! I agree with other comments that I could listen to the guitar solo over and over and perfect tasty pocket from the percussion and the keyboards also filled the spaces awesomely. I have a new appreciation for this group after hearing them perform this live. I would be scared to death to pull this off as a cover...almost nobody could which is the true mark of a unique band.
Boy, this brings back memories.... beautiful song.
"everday in your indigo eyes" my favorite lyric.. alliteration no?
Still adore this sing. Nice to see it performed.THANX so much..Truly...,
Michelle R Jackson ABSOLUTELY!! I had never seen them until today. ❤️ this song.
BrooklynMermaid Ahammer Glad you like it too..
I loved this song as an 8 year old kid back in 1974 when I heard this song ALOT on the radio. I still love this song today. Awesome music! Love it! ❤
Rip : Steve Cash (May 5 1946 - October 14 2019) An original & founding member who co-wrote thier two biggest hits, this one at No 3 in 1975 and 'If you want to get to heaven' (thier first hit) at No 25 in 1974
I had no idea it was a man singing this iconic song. Awesome!!
I remember this - awesome song. Love the lyrics. Sometimes makes me miss the '70s.
How I wish I could've met the singer during that time,love at first sight 😍
I just want to cruise in the chevelle and listen to this. Music from better days.
I had this and the outlaws in MT 74 f 100 Crist I miss em
Love those Chevelles. 4 speed 396 on a back road with a cold 6 pack,and music like this
Me too my 69 chevelle
Used to Cruise to this in my 67 442. Mis those days.
66 Chevelle, 4 speed, 8 track.
Lot of fun.
why would anyone think a woman was singing this song? I've been a fan of OMD since 70's but always loved this song. Thanks for the live version, brings back good memories.
Jealous bald and or ugly boys and men
That is my cousin singing lead vocal. I haven't seen him in years.
@@Powerpoe Well I think he lives in Missouri. I live on the East Coast. His dad and my dad were brothers.
One of my favorite songs -- perfect country-rock ballad.
Bittersweet, I love this song. It reminds me of my late husband. He was from Southern Illinois.
You have moved me to tears thinking about that wonderful, magical year of 1975. "You say it's easy, just a natural thing like playing music, but you never sing". "WOW! What a song! Thanks for the memories of summer 1975. When life was simpler, the world gentler, and music infinitely more awesome! Nothing at all today like this. :-( I never get tired of this gem, much like "If You Wanna Get To Heaven". You guys make the Ozarks proud - makes me wanna visit there someday!
Harry S. Anchan I agree
I live right here in the Ozarks with these guys, know 'em all, and we're happy somebody pays attention to us! Thank you!
AMEN! Oh, believe me! they do. We do. Long live The OMD.
One of my favorite songs. Love the music of the seventies.
SiriusXM Yacht Rock radio brought me here :) I didn't know the 70s had a treasure trove of gold. (born in the 80s)
this is one great live song that sounds near perfect. ass kicking guitar solo.
Legend has it the groovy music has been resonating within that neighborhood and if you open a sealed drawer from that year ... this song will be inside .
Always loved this song!
Transported right back to my 12 year old self mid 70's rolling down the road in my big sister's Bug. Never fails! Where have these type of songs gone???
My favorite song when I was 4 years old (1973). My babysitter lived next door and her name was Jackie. I always thought it was a woman singing until I saw this video a couple years ago, and I also though the song was about my babysitter, being 4 years old. This is the most compelling live video I've ever seen, and probably will ever see. God bless ya Supe and company \M/OZARKMOUNTAINDAREDEVILS\M/
I'm now 59 and remember this song well. However, all this time I thought this was sung by a female! Goes to show you're never to old to experience the joy in the element of surprise. 😄❤
I love the time I came of age in..the best time to be young.. before computers and cell phones..we made music and lived life!!!
always loved this tune
This is what music is built on ... real musicians who play with heart, and wrote how music was all about.. sad to see such pride go away to quick and easy cash
...
The term "one hit wonder" always had a negative connotation to it; a song everybody loved for a month and then were embarrassed to admit it afterwards. I would much rather listen to the "bad" music of the 70's than the "good" music of today.
I'm right with you.
A great deal of the music of today back in the day.
My dad would refer to as screaming senseless BS and I'm cleaning it up.
he would been speaking about my AC/DC at the time.
Today I know I sound quite a bit like my dad and I'm great with that.
I would be saying that about today's music. Not all of it but most of it.
One of the reasons I'm so glad that I can flash back and smile at what once was.
I totally agree with you pop gun.
pop gun you and me both music of today stinks.
+Jackie Williams I was and AC/DC fan too. My mother said the same thing! Love the music of the 60's-80's. Much talent and no autotune!
+Dave Wray I saw OMD in 2014. I'd never seen them, and didn't think I'd like it. They blew the roof off that theater. I was one of the best shows I've seen - and I've seen a lot of shows! These guys can really lay it down!
rockzulla, you are so Right! l come from a large family and have an uncle just a few years older than I am. He introduced me to this music when I was very little, I loved it then, and I still love it now. Thanks uncle Roger, you are still the coolest uncle ever
I was born in 85’ and remember the very first time I heard this song which I love. In 1989 I was in the backseat of my parent’s Camaro in the middle of an Iowa blizzard going down a county road. Remember seeing headlights hitting complete whiteout and my mom was freaking out about the weather. My dad was singing this while I was slapping my knees going along with the song. Weird to remember that so vividly but I do....good times. Found an original vinyl down in Tennessee and my son now listens to them as well.
I never knew that that was a man singing Jackie Blue. WOW!!! All of these years I thought it was a lady singer. WOW what a voice. I simply love this timeless song. AMAZING!
Me too. Always thought a woman singing
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of her room
Hides a smile when she's wearin' a frown
Ooh, Jackie you're not so down
You like your life in a free-form style
You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup
Ooh, Jackie Blue
What's a game girl, if you never lose?
Ask a winner and you'll probably find
Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime
Don't try to tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say it's easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music, but you never sing
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places that you've never been
Ooh, Jackie Blue, you're going again
Ooh, Jackie Blue
Lives a dream that can never come true
Making love is like sifting through sand
Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand
Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time
Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue
Lives her life from inside of a room
Makes you think that her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Ooh, Jackie
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Loved this song since I was 14 back in 74......greetings from South Africa
Great song, played and sung very well. I remember this back in the 70's like it was yesterday.
He really has an interesting voice!
Cary McCall found this song on a playlist on my Spotify I thought it was a girl 👍🏻
Lends well to a number 1 hit.
He sounds great live
Not gonna lie. I've loved this song since I was a teen in the 1970s. But I was in complete shock when more than 40 years later, I discovered it was NOT a woman singing the lead vocal.
wish there was music like that today
maryl inand farmer
There is. It was just released years and decades ago, but it's still here.
the 70's had the best music ever. so much talent everywhere.
This is such a cool record. Heard it on a radio station that could barely be picked up on my cheap and small transistor radio. But loved it when I first heard it and have always wondered when I'd find it. Its one of those songs that should done so much more in UK. Recorded it when my first girlfriend came round for the very first time back in 1970s. Decades later I married her after we remet...she gave me several years of married and first family shit - divorced now. Bring back the OGWT!
People actually playing instruments, singing and making music. As opposed today where there merely jump around on a stage.
Prince is dead. Where have you been ?
yep
Don L ... I'm not sure if the mention of Prince is derogatory. I used to make fun of him because he put on such a sissyish appearance. His songs didn't appeal to me since my tastes ran toward hard rock, the harder, the better. As time went by, I started extending my listening. Video music helped a bunch. Prince was an extremely talented musician who I learned to appreciate very late in his career. His demise was somewhat unexpected, but not too surprising.
@@JW...-oj5iw Me too
OMG so very effing true! And they all have a mic to say "yayuh" into at random moments. All two dozen of them.
This song makes feel good.
The unique, plaintive guitar on this fine song always makes me gasp in astonishment. I had the 45 as a kid and played it forever….
No.3 smash. Great country-rock song. 1975. Real music and great storytelling.
9th grade! Great memories and a great song
Love the lead guitarist's white Gibson SG with the "disco ball" pickup covers. The Seventies were cool times.
I remember. I just graduated college on my own so much to live for..I wish I could bring that feeling back again
When people and bands had real talent! Not all faked in a studio somewhere
So true!!! Absolutely
The nowadays crap is computer generated crap songs
SINGER US NAVY,FT.ALLEN PR.....
I hear you on that...been telling my grandkids that... takes talent to play in a band...plus it's fun to watch them perform and see them getting in to the grove
Notice that the guitar pick-ups aren't plugged-in. This is somewhat faked which is common for a TV performance from this era. Would be unrecognizable otherwise.
One of my favorite 70s songs and one of the few that sticks in my head from when I was a kid. It sets such a mood, kinda melancholy. Any Beatles fans hear a similarity of the staccato piano chords of the verse to "Martha My Dear?"
This song actually helped to establish the overall sound of the 70's. Iconic in an odd yet dynamic way. Plenty of memories from my grade school years hearing this tune.
The greatest Show Me State band ....
Another legion of the greatest era of rock music
1970s
Rock on 🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸
always knew the singer was a guy. The high voice was a hook, and it worked, especially on this song.
Agreed, you can clearly tell it's a male on vocals, especially during the chorus.
Cool grew up in Missouri as well. All over, mostly near K.C. and Springfield. Many times in the Ozarks.
Hearing that song brings back the memories of 1971 and where I was when I was 17.
Been listening to these guys for45 yrs.......love their mellow sound
just the one song or?
this was is a wonderful tune. a part of the times. has a catchy hook
This a great live version of a great song. Really enjoyed it..Thanks.
Saw them sing this song live when I was about 12 or 13 years old in a community college(Westark Fort Smith, Arkansas) gymnasium a couple of blocks from my house. My buddy and I walked down there hoping to hear the concert from the sidewalk but ended up knowing the ticket taker and he let us in for free. It was too cool, brings back great memories.
