Just a hint. Back at the time of this song, if a young, unmarried woman had an affair with a married man and got pregnant her only real option was to leave town and to go somewhere else where no one knew her. This was an extremely popular song that hit the charts and a lot of feels in the right places.

PTA = Parent Teacher Association. While they could do good work in guiding school policies, they were often run by nosy busybodies with their own dirty laundry.

This is from back when good music told a story.

You are a simp

back when artists had true talent

Dion, singing with Paul Simon, one of his newer songs: th-cam.com/video/lRQxM0c4vdE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4T5Y6dgzuRtTyK3f

Dion's a legend Please check out, Dion's "Abraham, Martin and John", kind of a tearful ode to assassinated U.S. political giants. He later added a verse for Bobby Kennedy. Thanks for the reaction, Cliff. Always a pleasure.

This is possibly my favorite Stones song. Keith Richards is my hero.

I have to say, the late 80s and early 90s was the BEST era for music. We had all the classic stadium cheese of the 1980s with the awesomeness that was Grunge.

30 years ago. 1994. I was a senior in high school. Great song!!

This song is best played going 95 down a desert road in the middle of the night

Michelle Phillips was not the voice, she was there to look pretty. Mama Cass was the only female voice of the Mama's and Papa's.

cash knew what had was an empire of dirt, meaning, everything u have is worthless. cuz u will just lose it. but salvation in Christ, u can never lose. ❤

"THE WANDERER". " ABRAHAM, MARTIN & JOHN" 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤❤❤

Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎄❤

The University of Alabama Football team comes out on the field to this song. it's awesome. Roll Tide !!!

RIP Edward m always in our hearts ❤️✝️❤️

The part that always gets me about this song in this performance, is when Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines sang the line "When my time's up, I'll hold my own You won't find me in an old folks home", only to know they both died in the plane wreck 3 months later. So sad!

Great review

Yep .. the long hair was something, and at nearly 70 years old I still love it.

Grats, you were the first i saw connecting this to the Godzilla soundtrack

You had zero reaction to one of the most iconic songs of the age.

Not sure if someone else said it. She did a follow up to this song.

Michelle Phillips did the banana stunt in protest. The show insisted they lip sync. Eating the banana exposed that they were lip syncing. Michelle Phillips later became a pretty successful actress.

The Mamas and Papas were an icon of the 1960’s

Ode to Billy Joe, classic by Bobbie Gentry! Incredible music, voice lyrics and storytelling ❤❤❤

Michelle was expelled out of the band in June of 1966 after her husband (the one in the suit and hat) found out she had eaten more than one banana during their marriage including the the one belonging to the other guy (Denny Doherty) on the stage. Ironically she was reinstated in August of that same year after her replacement did not pan out.

Abraham, Martin and John is a good song by Dion.

It will help you on a cloudy or sunny day😊😊😊

This is one of the songs I have seen some young men (early to mid 20’s) reacting to. They kept saying they must have used autotune. Nope. Back in the day, singer’s could only use pure talent to get noticed. No disrespect intended. You still have to have talent to make it in the music industry. For one of the best voices you might ever hear, the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter thought of herself as a drummer who sang. The rest of the world thought “she’s a drummer?” For clarity, and pitch, I don’t think many can beat Karen Carpenter. She and her brother were the band. I recommend “We’ve Only Just Begun” (which started as an ad jingle they did for a bank promoting their savings accounts). Also, “Rainy Days and Mondays”, and “Superstar”, though you can’t go wrong with any of their songs. It was a true loss when Karen passed away so young. Okay. I will always go with the Righteous Brothers with this song. They win hands down. I didn’t even know Elvis sang this song.

There is one group of you men reacting to the music of my childhood. It amazing me when they say “that had to be done with auto-tune”, and then are amazed that in my day auto-tune wasn’t a thing. It was talent. Pure talent. And, they are always saying this clip or that clip was “sampled”. Ok. You mentioned the South Side of Chicago. Just because of that statement, you should listen to Jim Croce (Crow-Chee) “Don’t Mess Around with Jim”. It is one of his fun songs.

Hahaha... That is hilarious! Love the song tho

Growing up in the 60's/70's we changed some of the words. Can't say now as TH-cam might block me. 😂😂

There are so many songs that I love. That I grew up on. And, that gives me a jolt every time I see people reacting to something my brain insists that they must have heard already. My brain just can’t comprehend people not knowing these songs.

They wrote this will in NYC, missing California. Going into the church prending to pray (to get warm).

This original video, when they were recording it, to get the special effects, they had to re-record over the same place so often that the film almost broke. What other band ever had a frontman born with a condition that gave him 4 extra incisors, changing the shape of his mouth, and giving him an unbelievable vocal range? What other band has a guitarist (Brian May) who is an actual rocket scientist (astrophysicist), knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to music? Queen! Never been anyone like them and may never be anyone like them again. R.I.P. Freddie Mercury. You are missed.

Rob Thomas is an excellent frontman and songwriter. But other members of the band write songs as well. Rob just managed to have a solo career while with the band and after. Their song “Bent” was written by the band after Rob’s collaboration with Santana, “Smooth”, won him a Grammy. Matchbox 20 (later changed to Matchbox Twenty) had a huge hit with “3 a.m.” about when Rob was young and his mom was diagnosed with cancer. The whole “Mad Season” album was great. One more band song I don’t think gets enough recognition is “Rest Stop” (and actually happened to Rob Thomas). Of Rob’s solo career, I feel a must hear is “Little Wonders”. And, if you have the time “Hold on Forever”, “Her Diamonds”, and “Mockingbird”. But, definitely, “Little Wonders”. I heard them do a cover of “American Girl”. I believe he said something along the lines of, there are times in your life when you hear a song and think “damn! I wish I had written that”. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers were the band that wrote “American Girl”.

Classic song. Glad these good tunes are getting the recognition they deserve!

I always liked this song! They actually made a movie based on the song starring Barbara Eden (from “I Dream of Jeannie). The secretary had to leave town because, presumably, she was pregnant, and he was a married man and pillar of the community. That was what people used to do with unexpected pregnancies back in the 50’s and 60’s. If you like comedic songs, you can’t go wrong with Ray Stevens. Most people start with, or are most familiar with, “the Mississippi Squirrel Revival”, but most of his songs are excellent and he does do some gospel music. This song reminded me of his songs are excellent. A late 60’s comedy song I liked growing up was “Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh” by Allan Sherman (a genius song writer who worked at Disney, and who, with his brother, wrote many of the songs in Mary Poppins [if I have the right Allan Sherman]). It doesn’t really fit here, but I would love to have you check out some Christmas songs by Trans Siberian Orchestra. My favorite, for the message alone, “Old City Bar”. For a jazzy take “The Three Kings and I (what really happened)”. For a classical music variation (using the classical song “Canon in D”) “Christmas Canon Rock” and/or “Christmas Canon” (adult singers vs children singing).

I’ve never really thought about the lyrics that closely. But, I pulled up the lyrics while watching your video. I get the impression that it was about a woman who was depressed and took her own life, or (I prefer) a lady who was already dying and the Repear came to get her, that it was her time to go, but don’t be afraid to go when your time comes.

This song talks about “the day the music died”, which is what the morning after the night The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and Richie Valens died in a small plane crash came to be known. Those were performers from my mom’s generation. In fact, my mom knew the “Peggy Sue” from the Buddy Holly song of that same name. They went to school together. There is at least one documentary or CBS Sunday Morning segment about this song. I don’t remember exactly, but what I do remember is that this song has been credited by some as the savior of rock ‘n roll. It is one of my favorite songs. If you haven’t already heard or reacted to Gordon Lightfoot, then may I suggest another all time favorite of mine “If You Could Read My Mind”. He has several good songs. One of his more heard songs is probably “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” which is about a true tragedy that occurred on Lake Superior. You should listen to Jim Croce any and all of his songs, and Harry Chapin “Cat’s in the Cradle”. For excellent guitar, you must hear Eric Clapton. “Layla”, “Tears in Heaven”, “Mustang Sally” … Yeah, a with the appreciation you show for the music of my childhood, you are right about being born in the wrong generation. I think you would have loved the 70’s and 80’s. If you are willing to go back to Folk Music: Peter, Paul, and Mary (Puff, the Magic Dragon; Stewball; Hush-A-Bye; Polly Von). The Brothers Four (Frogg; Frogg No. 2; The Driller’s Song…) Kingston Trio (Bad Man’s Blunder; M.T.A [only political song they ever put out]; Merry Minuet; Zombie Jamboree; Where Have All The Flowers Gone; Raspberry, Strawberry; Tijuana Jail; Bimini; Everglades (where they slip in a jab at the Everly Brothers); Desert Pete (message to have faith); Take Her out of Pity; and for a touch of history, With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm … and many more) The Sandpipers - they sing songs in 7 different languages, but I love their melodies (Bon Soir Dame; The French Song; Inchworm; La Mer (Beyond the Sea); Cast Your Fate to the Wind; Guantanamera; Strangers in the Night … and more)

Thank you for taking the chance with the Eagles. I didn’t know whoever is in charge of copyright infringement was so harsh. The Eagles are iconic. The music of my generation wouldn’t have been what it was without them. I always thought it was Joe Walsh who played the 12-string on this song. My apologies to Don Felder. Your guitar playing is amazing! So, Mr. Executive, please let us see people experiencing the joy of the Eagles music. Don’t push to take down the channels that are, in their own way, promoting the music. People who love the music and want to share their joy and admiration with others, those of us who want newer generations to experience the magic of the Eagles, have requested that these people react. In the long run, it might actually increase sales! (Because, not everyone wants to listen to the songs with reaction interruptions every time they want to listen.) Even if you don’t react online, other songs you should hear by the Eagles … “Desperado”, “Get Over It”, “Last Resort”, “Life in the Fast Lane”, “Lyin’ Eyes”, “Take It Easy”, “Witchy Woman” … you actually can’t go wrong with any Eagles songs. They are timeless.
