Music from the 60’s and 70’s was a lot better than anything that has been put out in the last 40 years.
1984 was a pretty great year… I checked out of Am radio during disco and started listening to folk after having been a Beatles and Pink Floyd fan among other artists of the 60s and early 70s. Then, in ‘83 and ‘84 there was an explosion of great rock.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS Music Videos contributed to the explosion. I was a 50's rocker thru Motown and Classic Rock... videos brought on a new appreciation of music.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS INXS was a great Australian band that had the gift of melody
Nowadays you're lucky to hear a good song.
@@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS u2 the best of the 80s❤
We did the swim, the pony,and the jerk ,until the sweat poured out. "Time won't let me".Do you guys hear that organ in the background. The 60s wow!
We had a blast!! Graduated that year.
The shimmy, the shake, etc. I used to lose a lb of weight an hour. I thought I’d be able to do that forever and wondered how can anybody be overweight when all they gotta do is dance. And then ‘old’ happened😒
The mashed potato
Yes we did 😉
Can't forget the skate, the hully gully and the twist
1966 graduated from high school. The National Guard Armory in the next town used to have Friday Night Dances and Concerts for $1.00. Kids from all the surrounding towns filled the hall. This song was one of our dance songs.
@Dixie T forgot to mention that there was a cop on detail. before you could enter he smelled your breath for alcohol. We tried every trick in the book to have bad breath.
Wow that sounds like some great times👍😁
@@richardmartin9565 lol I can imagine 😁
We had so much phenomenal music when we were growing up!! I want to jump up and dance...but my knees are screaming, “YOU CAN’T DO THAT ANYMORE!!”
Lol I know the feeli g..my back would be calling me a fool for tryi g and then spaz out🤣🤣
Sorry about the typos..seems my fingers and keyboards don't work well together either lol.
@@deborahvernarelli6394 Don’t worry about any typos... Autocorrect has made me look like a fool...more than once!
I sit, my mind says "get up and dance, you can do it, enjoy yourself again!!!" Then I try to stand and my body says "who are you kidding."
Best music ever, best times of my life.
I played in a cover band in 68/69 . [ All i could say is i took it all for granted and then it suddenly was gone . Oh well I was lucky enough to be there .
What a great song. Hadn’t heard this for years, brings back so many memories!
Oh me neither 😊 I love this song😉👍👍👍
Sonny Geraci from my hometown: Cleveland, Ohio. Love this song. Check out his other band Climax/“Precious and Few”.
Great show
This band is best known for this hit "Time Won't Let Me" in early 1966. They did have some other songs such as "Respectable", "Help Me Girl", "Bend Me, Shape Me", "Gotta Leave Us Alone" etc.
Bend me Shape me was the American Breed. If my memory is correct
@@dalesouders4136 The Outsiders did the song first in 1966 but American Breed had the bigger hit in 1967.
@@dalesouders4136 Absolutely correct! I used to get this confused with Incense and Peppermints….And I don’t know why…🤣
Loved Bend Me, Shape Me! But I think early commentor was right. It was The American Breed, not The Outsiders!
The Outsiders first recorded "Bend Me, Shape Me" in 1966, but The American Breed had the best known version. Released in December '67, it peaked at #5 in the US in early '68. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bend_Me,_Shape_Me
This was the Outsiders 1966 break-out hit and it was a good one hitting number 5 on the Billboard charts. The 60's had some really great music.
Shawn & Mel, thank you for reacting to this great song. The lead singer, the late Sonny Geraci, also had a major hit in 1972 with the group Climax. The song is “Precious and Few”. Please react to this, you won’t be sorry. ❤️
I loved precious and few and didn’t realize it was the same singer from this song. Thanks for that info!
@@doriwiljt you’re welcome.
All of my teen years took place during the 60's. I was 18 when this song hit the charts . I still love it just as much now.
Age-wise I was not far behind you. From 1960 to 1970 I went from 6 years old to 16. When this tune was released in January '66, I was 11years old. A lot of great music came out during the 60's. It made me want to get into radio broadcasting.
@@dogbarbill I was fortunate enough to play in a cover band in 68/69 . We played mostly 60[s top 40 stuff . How we took it all for granted and then it was gone . I was lucky to have lived in that era .
Ya'll are grooving just like they used to! Awesome!
From Cleveland, Ohio. Lead singer Sonny Geraci. I can still picture my late husband dancing to this song❤️
I've always loved this song. Great tune!
There will never be two decades for music like the 60’s and 70’s!
Growing up on the music of the '60s is why I'm a rockin' old lady now! That music has kept me young. It's sad that young people now don't have a clue what really great music is. No autotune or anything like that back in the day. Just pure talent.
You and me both
I was a very young teen but I got to hear these wonderful bands and songs!! I was lucky!
This brings back memories of the Air Force. I was shooting pool in the Day Room, when I heard this song in '66. Great fast dance song!!
That great trumpet playing you heard on this track by The Outsiders was by the late John Madrid who also played with classic big bands & jazz outfits like Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Harry James, Stan Kenton & David Benoit. Madrid sadly passed away at 42 in 1990 but laid down some wonderful trumpet during his short career.
Madrid also played trumpet on songs for Donna Summer, Elton John, Sonny & Cher, & Wayne Newton. Obviously, with acts like this, he must have been a top-tier trumpet player.
thanks so often studio musicians never get the recognization they deserve
The lead singer of this Cleveland Ohio group is named Sonny Geraci and he was the lead singer of another group called Climax and as the lead singer in that group he sang the song called precious and few which I think you will love as much as this song maybe more.
Check out "Walk Away Reene" by The Left Banke (not the 4 tops version). In 2005, Rolling Stone placed it at #220 in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" wikipedia
I have to laugh about the comment, when they said, they would to get up and jump around but, there knees won't let them. Yes, I have the bad knees to. When we were young, yes. So many good memories.
great tune written about a real girl
You can’t help singing & dancing to this group 🎼🎸 also ‘ Bend Me Shape Me’ is another rockin song 🤗🇨🇦☮️🎵
it was a BIG hit and everyone danced to it....another good one is Sir Douglas Quintet and their song She's About a Mover
oh yeah!
Yes!
Also Mendocino and ☔ Rain, Rain Rain!
I wasn’t around back then but as teenagers in the mid/late 90s, my brother and I got deep heavily into the 60s and this was one of the bands we listened to a lot..their whole greatest hits release is amazing and soulful
Ten years old when this song came out,my sister was 15, she made me get up and dance with her,I tried,it was fun 😎🏹
Another great song I never heard before! It can't have been a hit in the UK, or I would have heard it. I don't understand why it wasn't a hit over here, cos it's a great song. 👌
Same here Kim, never heard it before, but when you look back, you can see what was happening in the UK music scene in 1966, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, the Stones and the Who changing it up, a lot of the early 60s bands were already falling by the wayside, so pop had been turned on its head, a Beatles type pop group were always going to struggle, just look at the direction the Beatles took.
That Rabbit Hole will take you to some sweet music!! ❤️😘
Love the reaction guys.Just
as much as I love this song 👍
Wow - haven't heard this in decades! The outsiders were actually the first band that I ever saw perform live! I was about 13-14, and after begging my parents for a while, they let me go to a dance in a nearby small town (the LRC in Halstad, MN ), and this was the band. This song was recently released and getting radio airplay, and they must have been traveling through the area on the way to bigger towns/venues. They didn't have horn players or an organist, just a singer, guitar player, bass player and drummer, but I enjoyed it, and it furthered my ambitions to play guitar in my own bands (which I eventually did).
This song always gets played on repeat along with The Tremelos "Here Comes My Baby" and Crispin St. Peters "The Pied Piper!" You should check those out as well! One of my all-time favorites! Sonny's voice is just perfect!
This was a huge hit! Music was evolving and so exciting. It might sound rather simplistic today but back then it was radical!!
I was 10 years old ♥️😎
I might be a little bias, but I believe the decade of the 60's had the best Music Composers, lyricist, Singers, Groups, Bands and Orchestras in Rock & Roll history. Love your reaction to the music of the 60's. I never took it for granted for growing up with this music. I am now a 70-year-old senior citizen and still Rockin and Rollin.
When Shaun says "Whoa Nelly" it's gonna be a classic.
You have to admit a lot of this music makes you feel good! :)
The band The Seeds is a must listen! Pushin' too hard is an epic song!
1966... I just graduated HS !! Great music and loved those songs with a horn section !! They song "Grass Roots", "Midnight Confession"
Thank you for playing my request, I am older than this song and I love it when this generation appreciates our music, I listened to this on a transistor radio when it first came out, even at that quality, it was awesome! Remember transistor?
I remember them well..had 1 Listened to all the time..couldn't wait to hear these songs..loved the vogues' turn around, look at me and 5 o'clock world
Bobby fuller four-" let her dance", " another sad and lonely night"," never to be forgotten"---youll love it!
That instrument was a trumpet, and that trumpet player has got a strong lip and great range.
Truly a great song I was 14 when I heard this ! I think you would love the Dave Clark 5 try bit’s and pieces live and check out the Foot Stomping and another great song is because
I'm astonished a great singer like Sonny Geraci wasn't more successful. Joined Climax in 72 with Precious and Few, was.a sizeable hit. This is one of my favorite songs of all times.🔥👍
Another awesome group of the 60's. Man they were coming out with so many hits. Love 💘 💜 💛
I was 14 when this song played on AM Radio, in 1966, one year before my friend and I discovered FM Radio. I really liked this song and I still do. Brings back memories.
The 50’s - 60’s -70’s is the best music ever!!
Haven't heard this for years! And yes we did dance anywhere and anytime we could!
For us facing the draft after high school or college, this song said it all....66-67
I wish we could go back never get sick of that moment when spul was alive i get tears in my eyes❤
The 60’s had it all! Which I was Blessed to be a part of! This song is so good!! Makes you wanna dance but mostly so clean💯❤️
Love that you did this song!!!!! Great song!
That driving bass line, the horns! Such groovy stuff!
great bass
@@oldermusiclover The Bass was Mert Madsen. He drove that beat.
I was born in April 1954.... PERFECT..... It has been a great time.
1966.the best year in music,period.
It has been so easy and fun for us too take you both down the rabbit holes of my youth. I have loved your reactions and the wishing to have lived then.That was a great time of music and adventure. To see the joy you both have for music.
Well Thank you for the ride ❣️
Great song. I actually used to play that song when I was in bands.
I've heard this hundreds of times, and always dug it. It has been decades since I've heard it though. Every young person at that time knew it, and moved to it. Except Eleanor Throckmorton of Parma, Ohio, who sadly only had a head and two toes, separated by three necks. She was a little shy, as you might have predicted. Seriously though, the philosopher Schopenhauer once said that the new was seldom good, because good things are only new for a fraction of their lives. So by finding and sharing these timeless treasures, you are sparing new generations from the flowing rivers of garbage that are being newly hustled. And by training the ear to the timeless good, new creators can evolve better products for yet other generations to come. Every country, every age, has something worth hearing.
great song/great memories/ great reaction/ THANKS SHAWN AND MEL
This song is from the year I was born! AWESOME!!
the lead singer later went on to form the group Climax which had the hit "precious and few"
We were dancing our asses off. The 60's and 70's was about the beat, the groove and dancing. Check out some of the dance shows with performers like American Bandstand, where the Action is, Hullabaloo and Soul Train,
The biggest KICK, is watching your "Reactions!"
Keep em' Comin'!
Such a great song. I was in the 6th grade when this came out… time doesn’t stop rolling along.
Roller skated to this song many times. Those were the days.
And this one too! ruclips.net/video/t3CQ-5MeRwY/видео.html
Classics never get old just better.
I was a sophomore in high school. We loved rock, Motown, and Elvis. Why do I remember the lyrics, haven't heard in a long time. I can't remember my passwords. I was 14 years old when this was playing on the radio.
I love watching the two of you enjoy the music I grew up with!
A one hit wonder band. I Love 💕 this tune
I live in an apartment - the man upstairs just bangs on his floor when I play this music - but I dig it so much!!!
A friend of mine is the lead singers son. His brother used to come up to see another band here and there (where i was always with) i won't get into personal details but they're still loved very much in Cleveland
Another Cleveland favorite from a little bit later than them is climax with precious and few. I used to rock the kids to sleep with this song. It's so breathtaking
These reaction videos are interesting, because the youth are so surprised at how good the songs from the 60's are. I was a little kid back then living with 2 teenage sisters. The radio was on all day ( that's all we had lol).
I’m glad you guys like this song it’s one of my favorites
The Beatles.....massive legendary rabbit hole! I Wanna Hold You Hand, Love Me Do, Revolution, Hey Jude, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Elanor Rigby, Taxman. Timeless music.
Wow! That was great to watch! I've heard this song since it came out, but had never seen the band that sang it till now. Love it, and love you guys for playing it. Keep up the great work.
Another 60s classic, you got to dance to this. Try Gene Pitney, "It Hurts To Be in Love", new, stereo.
That was a fun song!! If this was out in 1966 I was just a year old 😲
You two are such a wonderful couple! I remember this song when I was pretty young and liked it , but ofxoure didnt know or understand the lyrics.... thanks for sharing ,and keep on building you program.
Gosh we had great music to listen to and dance to!
When you realize that musicians and studios had very little equipment to work with, it makes these old recordings so much more special.
If you were a guitar player in the US in 1966 would have a guitar, a fender amp that had reverb, and maybe tremolo (you'd need to plug into the "vibrato" channel to use the tremolo), the amp only made overdrive if you played at very high volume and you maybe had a fuzz pedal and or a tape delay unit. That was it. You didn't modify anything, because there was no aftermarket parts.
Studios had either 4 or 8 track tape recording machines, and delay, reverb, compression, and limiters, and nothing else.
The studio itself was just a big room, not specifically designed for acoustics, very primitive conditions.
Musicians, producers, and engineers had to really know their stuff, and be clever about how the gear and studio was used.
Real instruments ALWAYS sound better then machines, thats why that music is so much better then ANYTHING today.
And the engineering was primitive. There was typically only a couple of takes and not that much overdubbing. They cleaned it up and released it. And it sounded great. And back then they didn't tour to sell records much. They had to play real gigs. Constantly. They could play. But more than that they could all play tight.
@@tedhood6725 Primitive in today's world but they were innovative. Now everything's slam-bang on the computer. Come to think of it, when I was a teenager we talked about upcoming albums, went to friends' homes to listen to the newest records. It was a real event. Hardly anyone talks about albums now.
Almost sixty years ago; your Granny was taking your Mom to elementary school while this played on the radio.
I remember when this song came out.
They used to play it at sock hops at school.
The lead singers was Sonny Geraci, born 1946, passed away in 2017.
My favorite song of theirs is a little known one off their first album. It's called "Girl In Love". Sad, but beautiful.
One of the biggest song it’s always on radio
Another great song from the 60's!
Oh! Never forget those Hops. They played records at our hops
Several groups like this in the 60's check out Paul Revere and the Raiders
kicks, I ain't gonna eat out my heart, stepping out
Here's their original version: ruclips.net/video/lLomSaLLSzg/видео.html and a live version they did in 2011: ruclips.net/video/jbzZ8n3k_pI/видео.html. We had all the good music back then.
Trumpet🎺 And 🎷 saxophone sound fantastic!
FINALLY someone reacted to OUR HOMETOWN boys and were a hit NATIONALLY. THEY ARE FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO and we Clevelanders who were teens back in the '60s were SOOOOO proud of them. Some of the original members have already passed. Through the years the band has continued on under the same name with many various members over the years, up until the present. Sonny Geraci who continued with the band for years, died in 2017.
The move from Rock and Roll to Rock was around this time, a new sound.
I grew up with this music. 80s baby here, daughter of a Boomer
The song reminds me so much being in 6th grade getting ready for summer break A 60s mega song. You guys reactions are awesome 👏
Can't beat anything from the sixties era! If you don' t shake and dance to this one, you must have one foot in the grave! High school dances classic play.
Lead singer Sonny Geraci has the rare distinction of charting a top ten hit with two different groups. This song with The Outsiders at #7 in 1966, and later in 1971, “Precious and Few” at #3 with another group named Climax.
A really fun song, & great to dance to.
1966! That squeal sounds like a trumpet to me, but I didn't see a trumpet player so I guess they were lip synching in that video. Wikipedia categorizes the song as "garage rock". Yeah, I suppose. There were a lot of "one hit wonders" in the mid-sixties that mostly fit that category -- The Human Beinz "Nobody But Me", Los Bravos "Black Is Black", Question Mark and the Mysterians "96 Tears", Crazy Elephant "Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin", Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs' "Wooly Bully", Castaways "Liar, Liar", The McCoys "Hang On Sloopy", The Standells "Dirty Water", The Trashmen "Surfin Bird", The Rivieras "California Sun", The Searchers "Needles and Pins", Manfred Mann "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", Zager & Evans "In the Year 2525" and more I've no doubt overlooked.
Sonny Geraci, the lead singer was also the lead singer of Climax who had a hit with Precious and Few. Making Sonny the lead singer on two one hit wonders.
Love this song. 💞💞💞
Great song. Great memories
I forgot that I know this song from so long ago.So Good.
It was a land of a 1000 dances back in the 60’s and 70’s.
