- Re-posted with corrections. Many aborted attempts to get this through the copyright cops. This version is shorter than originally intended because I had to drop two songs. But I think the end result is OK.
I love these segments that highlight each month from the 70's. You do a great job picking the right music from that year and I really like the Magazine Covers.
Thanks, Dwayne. Glad you enjoyed it.
Feeling pretty low tonight. Thanks for the uplift Fred.
Glad to help, Doug.
Turned 14 in April of 76, I never thought I would miss those days but I do!
I was 10 years old boy 1976 and was my foster home member those commercial.
Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning the bad news Bears that was released in April 1976 my very first non-G rated film ever. It was still one of my favorite films ever.
I loved it too, Michael.
I was 12 yo and in 7th grade in 1976. The bicentennial and the merch that came with it, the bicentennial money that was issued. Everyone had their US flag proudly displayed! Even made US flags into clothes! I wish the patriotism was as prominent now as it was back then. Some Americans are even comparing the US flag to a hate symbol!? What has happened to the America I grew up loving?
Exactly. The Bicentennial Minute series on TV between shows. The fire hydrant painting contests, all red, white, & blue. It was the best year ever. All the kooky merchandise was amazing, and now it's very rare to find in antique stores, and I'm not sure why. There was so much of it.
I was 12 then, too! Living in Atlanta, GA at that time.
I was 20 in 1976, A time filled with American pride. How'd we get where we are today I just don't know.
The other side, that's what happened. And it's never too soon to point out the difference between patriotism and nationalism.
@@cainealexander-mccord2805 The other side (or group) refers to nationalism. Patriotism refers to love for your country as a whole.
Been there. Done that. Class of 76.
It's nice to get treated to a FredFlix video before I retire to bed tonight. Another great video, and thank you Fred!!! I played little league baseball like so many kids and can remember seeing Bad News Bears at the movies. Such an innocent time to be a kid. Honestly, those were the best years of my life.
Thanks, Stephen. I liked the BNB sequel too.
I agree, I'm a 62 year old woman and I remember growing up in the 1970's and I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
@@Dorthy-wx9fq Well, thank God for Fred and all his hard work in giving us a chance to remember this wonderful time. The Seventies were the best decade, especially when it came to music, movies, T.V., etc. Despite the problems going on, people seemed more united and positive about the future, especially compared to today.
What a glorious time to be a kid! I was 11 and living in small town in Ohio. It was the Bicentennial and the build up to July 4th was well underway. Everyone had a flag or red white & blue bunting displayed. I was so looking forward to all the parades, parties and celebrations. I was also going to the Boy Scout National Jamboree which was being held at the Air Force base about 15 minutes from where we lived. It was certainly going to be an amazing summer!
Paul Anka song, times of your life. makes you THINK about your life. and what have you done with it, so far. lovely song.
Always great to see another video from Fred!!
Thanks, TOTW.
I like the 2 songs that were picked out for the video of "The America 🇺🇸 We Knew"; the first one was by Peter Frampton and the second one was The Bellamy Brothers..
I had a couple more with Bohemian Rhapsody included, bu YT wasn't having that.
Thanks Fred. I needed a little of my youth tonight.
Same here!
Sure thing, TGN.
Peter framton come alive the most Beauty me enjoy this year i lived at mexico city studying. I listen cassette framton all day
Was 15 in April '75 and TOTALLY anticipating Driver's Ed coming that summer when I would turn 16 and then DRIVER's LICENSE!! WOO HOO!!!! 1976 Best year of my life!!!
I grew up in the 1970's and there was nothing like it. And it got better as became a teenager and went to high school. I miss those times and these videos that Fred makes bring back good memories for me, thank you
You're welcome, Dorthy.
I remember watching a particular ABC Monday Night Baseball game in the summer of 1976. The originally scheduled game was in a rain delay and would eventually be declared a rainout. So ABC switched to their alternate game, the Los Angeles Dodgers vs the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. That night the Pirates' left-handed pitcher John Candelaria pitched a 2-0 no-hitter. A great baseball memory of a historic game, even though neither team made the postseason that year.
Big baseball history fan from Canada 🇨🇦 here. I love your Monday Night Baseball story about the John Candelaria no-hitter. You have a good memory. Thanks for posting and take care!
You have quite a keen memory, Ernest.
thanks for the work! As you get older it's nice to be reminded of your youth :)
You're welcome, 1FCS
I have to get up in a couple of hours and go to work, but Fred puts a new video out, so good by sleep.
Thanks Fred 😊
You're welcome, Gary. I lost sleep too trying to edit to get songs past the copyright cops.
I see it as a priority to watch each FredFlix video as soon as it drops. Thanks for another beaut, Fred.
Much appreciated, Dave.
Buddy Rich was on FIRE!!! Love this Channel. Thanks, Fred.
This will be the closest I ever get to 1976 again. Thanks.
Hi Fred, great video. The Bad News Bears is one of my favorite movies coming from 1976.⚾️
I loved it too, Emily.
Thanks Fred 👍
The Bicentennial celebrations were already well underway.
I spent most of 1976 at SEA and missed most of these programs !! 😂😂
Blessings to you friend. These blasts into the past help me get by in these crazy times.
Happy to help, HB.
I was getting ready for the birth of my first child in July of 76. Bicentennial baby. I always know how old the nation is. They sure got a lot of mileage out of those Miller Lite commercials. Fun video 😊
We all were proud to be americans back then .
Thank you so much for these blasts from the past. They remind me of simpler, happier times.
You're welcome, Ramona.
How do I spell relief? FredFlix!!!! You always make me smile 😊
Nice reference, Bridget!
Arnold Schwarzenegger in Stay Hungry. Wow. 😮
Thanks, FredFlix. 💪
You're welcome, Luis.
Jeez Fred, are you an insomniac? I see the TH-cam police got you for something. Man I was transported right back to '76 with this one. Though I wasn't a Carter fan, I bet he could run the country better now in his current state than the zombie whose " running" things now.
You mean the the moron who was here before who won't go away.
My first career was in Grocery. I started as a part time stock boy just 7 years after 1976. Those A&P ads hit close to home.
The GREATEST time in my life
What the--get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and come back to Fredflix and Helter Skelter! Good stuff, thank you Fred! 😊❤🎉🎉🎉
Hope you got back to sleep, Doug.
Wow I just 3 weeks old interesting to see what life was about at time my dad always called them the good ol' days
"Helter Skelter" -- George DiCenzo, who was primarily a character actor in countless supporting roles, gives an absolutely convincing performance in a starring role as Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi .
great year. i was 3 months old April 76
Life was sweet as a 12 yoa kid !!!
Always fantastic clips and music snipets, you're the best Fred! Loved the Paul Anka commercial 🤟
Thanks, tigre.
April 76 little league started and I was playing for the Bears. Of course the Yankees were the top team. Had to write a term paper on charisma for my 6th grade Social Studies class. After watching Helter Skelter wrote it about Charlie - got an A. Keep the memories coming, Fred.
Will do, BC.
Hi Fred: Thanks for the respect shown for All the President's Men, It wouldn't a complete tribute without it. One of the finest movies during a decade of great movies.
I certainly agree, gittes. Seen it multiple times.
Very, very well edited Fred. I absolutely remember that “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” ad. The Vietnam reports terrified me as a kid. I wondered if I’d be fighting there one day because to a kid like me it seemed it would never end. Guess it seemed that way to some adults too.
Thanks, Chris. I too was worried about the war.
Well done as always Fred ❤. This brings back so many memories 😊.
Thanks, Alan.
🇺🇸 💯% Thank you, Fred, from the bottom of my heart.
My pleasure, SC.
Wow ❤❤❤ it. awesome Fred thank you so much
Fabulous, friend.
Thanks, SH.
The year and month I turned 10. Nothing better than living on base in Hawaii, mom and dad, Sat morning cartoons, no worries except homework.
Great opening Fred...Frampton.
Thanks, traveler.
I read "Helter Skelter" when I was a kid!! Freaked me out -- I felt the worst for the kid Steven Parent who was "just visiting his friend" when he was shot in the driveway... turns out he may have been there for more nefarious reasons than an "AM/FM Radio repair" as we were told at the time
Thank you Fred! I always enjoy these!😊
Thank you very much for the video. They are always interesting
You're welcome, Jan, and thanks.
Still 17 In April & YOU Are The Memory Man, No Doubt About It! Thank You For Sharing Glimpses Of Our Past! (Like #319)
Happy to oblige, watcher.
21 yo here! Great music and times!!!
Really enjoy these videos from “the times of my life.” And was really happy that weird America church choir song was gone from the opening here! Thanks for your great channel and vids, Freddy! ❤
Thank you Fred!!!
You're welcome, Nicole.
In the 5th grade in Eugene oregon at my favorite school❤
I try to watch every video fred posts,these are awesome
Thanks, Shawn!
Thank you for the videos I’m from South Carolina also
Good to know, Chuck.
✅ At 6:28 Awww, that spot!!
✅ All the President's Men (I read the book as well).
I like this new opening/closing format better. Plan to keep it? 🤔 💜🤟
Yes, 1976 wss America's Bicentennial year, which was wonderful to remember, but I want to forget about April 27th, 1976, because I was ordered to write a letter to Vincent Price as punishment for my over-reaction to something that he said on The Hollywood Squares game show that day, and if I hadn't had a crush on him at the time, I would never have overreacted or made a complete fool of myself over him saying "No" to a question and not speaking immediately after that. The letter to him was never mailed, but had it been mailed, there was no telling what kind of an answer I would have gotten from him.
That's quite interesting, Margaret.
America was cool back then!
Fred, great background music by Peter Frampton.
I'm happy YT didn't reject it!
I remember getting soooooo excited about the upcoming July 4 Bicentennial at the age of 12!
The Ford Pinto was fast, just don't rear end it!
In April 1976 I was 15 going on 16.
Ah, '76 in Fred's great time machine.
And, Robert, we're going when, not where...
Nolan Ryan was the only athlete in the TWA commercial who wasn't a reigning world champion. Interesting they did not get anyone from the Cincinnati Reds "Big Red Machine" that was dominating the middle of that decade. I think Ryan's only championship was as a back end starter for the Amazing Mets of 1969. Rick Barry led the Golden State Warriors to the most improbable NBA Championship in history (arguably -- the Houston Rockets had a pretty mediocre team get an NBA Championship in the 1990s)
I enjoy all his things on Fredflex
Nice to know, Debbie.
The FredFlix channel; tastes great, less filling 😁👍👍
Was that Ahhhnolds first film appearance? Six years before Conan the Barbarian.
I'm pretty sure it was, Robert. He knew even then he was going to be the biggest movie star in the world.
No, but it was his first film under his own name. He starred in the 1970 movie Hercules In New York, billed as "Arnold Strong" (the movie also features Arnold Stang, the voice of Top Cat the cartoon character). It's a really stupid movie, but if you're drunk/stoned enough you might get a kick out of it. He also had an unbilled role in The Long Goodbye, 1973. So Stay Hungry was his first as Arnold Schwarzenegger. He had a couple more roles in '79, before Conan.
I had just gotten out of the Marine Corps 3 years earlier.
There was no war, what did you do in the Marines?
@dwightpowell6673 I was at Camp Pendleton as a mechanic on tactical vehicles.
You’ve been knocking it out of the park recently xilFderF.
And you could make me a mixtape anytime.
Guaranteed it’d be outstanding. 🎸🎹🎺🥁
Peace, live long and prosper my terrestrial friend. 🖖 💫
As my spiritual frequency increases, I may yet contact you directly in your home dimension, Xyrz.
Stay Hungry...showing a young Arnold Schwarzenegger
👍📺🇺🇸
Reminds you how bad Carter was.
Welcome to the United States of VENEZUELA and Democrat America......the America we know now😮.
Yes the Ford Pinto breezes past the Toyota Corolla and the rest of the competition. But pray to God that rascally Corolla doesn't ever-so-slightly bump against your rear, because your whole Pinto will blow sky-high. Not the good old days there, that's for sure. That is, if I may very briefly wipe the rosewater from everyone's glasses for just a sec. Ok, back to your regularly scheduled nostalgia!
Where are the African American people?
Posing for the cover of Ebony magazine, and making most of the good music. Soouuul Traaain!!!
God, I hated Peter Frampton!
And now Steve Garvey (featured in the thumbnail) is a hardcore MAGA.
Big fan of his......at one time......
@mac55122 Same here...until that 3 babies with 3 different women scandal. 😮
American?? With and british song and singer over your intro...wtf
It was in the American Top 40 Billboard charts...THAT'S WTF!
