Haven't heard this in approximately 47 years, but I remembered almost the entire thing! My dad had the album when I was a kid and I'd constantly beg him to play this song!! I have a very specific memory of my dad watching us kids when my mom was at her college classes (early 70s, so I was about 5 or 6 and my brother was 7 or 8) and he played this for us. We were riding my dad's back like a horse and we were all laughing and having so much fun. My dad is now 86, I'm 52 and my bro is 54. How time flies, but that memory is one of the strongest of my happy, wonderful, amazing childhood. Growing up is hard and knowing that I will never feel that kind of JOY again makes me so whistful. 😌😔💕
My sister's "dad song" is I Wanna Hold Your Hand. When I listen to early/mid 70s stuff I think how my cool babysitters and their friends must have love this. Doesn't even have to be solid memories, just a feeling.
This song ended a 250-year drought for Johann Sebastian Bach. This would become his first Top Ten single since topping the charts with "Little Fugue in G minor" in 1721.
From what I understand this was done by Apollo 100 as a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach. It was so well accepted that it started a resurgence of people interested in his art.
This was one of the first records (45 r.p.m.) that I ever bought. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, I loved classical music, but I didn't think much of most popular music. When I heard this on the radio, I was captivated instantly. Good music is good music. I loved the Beatles too.
Que hermoso volver a aquellos años 1972 para ser exacto tenía tan solo 10 años de edad. otro tiempo. y aunque era la época HIPPIE en que se pregonaba la PAZ y EL AMOR si le teníamos respeto a todo, y todos nos saludábamos y conocíamos en las pequeñas ciudades de entonces, vaya ya me puse nostálgico hoy en pleno 2023 ya tengo 61 años de edad pero no por eso cambiaria las joyas musicales de mi niñez y juventud , porque lo que hoy día se escucha por todos lados solo es porno auditivo y una hueca invitación y modo de vida del solo TENER como si eso fuera el fin en la vida, cuando lo que nos hará trascender siempre es el SER. Gracias por compartir esta gran JOYA musical de mi niñez y ojalá sigan subiendo más de esta época. Saludos a todos los presentes aquí desde MEXICO.
I was in high school when this came out in '72, and played the organ. Found some sheet music for this tune in a local music store, and spent a lot of time practicing it. I felt like I had reached a decent level of technique when I could play through the whole thing. Still have the sheet music, and am getting back into keyboard playing again. This tune is at the top of my list for ones to re-learn.
I bought the album when it came out. Radio stations played it frequently. I had a Marantz stereo that put out all of 20 watts per channel. I got a pair of JBL (Jubal) model speakers, when their product was 100 % USA.. These came with a lifetime warranty. Nothing goes wrong but the foam ring around the woofers dry rots, every 20 years, and I send them off for new rings. The efficiency of those speakers is unbelievable,vibrate all the windows big time on this song. I fell in love with the girl.
72 was a great year for me. I was ten and had my first crush on a girl in my Catholic school in Cleveland. I loved this song as well as her, I will never forget this song as well as her.
It’s remarkable that now that I’ve heard this for the first time in almost 50 years, on a good system, how well-engineered the recording is even though it was primarily heard on AM radio.
I LOVE YOUR ANSWER I HAVE PERFECT PITCH I HAD TO HAVE EVERYTHING PEFECT MY MOM WAS NICE BUT THE OPPOSITE NOT CAREFUL RECKLESS OK I COULD NOT STAND HER DISTUSTINGLY SCRATCHY RECORDS UGH
I was walking through Hobby Lobby and heard something that sounded familiar. Then I realized what it was although it was a version that I never heard before. I remembered that I got this 45 record in 1972 but haven't listened to it in many years. This is truly a great version of the song and listening to it brought back a lot of memories. Thank you!
The first 45 I ever bought..I was mesmerized.. very clever rendition of Bach Jesus joy of man's desiring.i was a little boy... seventies... the wonder years.i later became a professional musician.eventually learned how to play the piece... will always love... thank you for the memories..
I can remember being a ten year old kid in San Antonio, growing up on the Northside of town, hearing this song on the AM radio stations back then. Well, Bach aptly named the piece, for it always made me happy when I heard it, no matter how hard my day had been.
@@roberdink I had so much fun on the North Side. I remember listening to this song during Christmas. Growing up in San Antonio on the North Side in the 60s and 70s was a wonderful experience. Gave me a headstart concerning the cultures of the world. My own street was unbelievably diverse. So much to do at all times.
You probably heard it on KTSA, 55AM on the dial. I lived in some apartments near Callaghan & Babcock in 1969/1970 and was just a kid when this came out a few years later. I loved San Antonio. I went to Glenoaks Elementary on Newcome Dr.
This is one of my favorite instrumentals. There was once a time when you could hear instrumental songs on the radio (or bands would do them as album cuts on their LPs) and they would be hits. Nowadays, that hardly at all ever happens anymore...
There was even one that started out as a tea commercial. The music was so popular that it was filled out into it's own recording. That would be "The Homecoming" by Hagood Hardy. It's on TH-cam.
Wow, haven't heard this in ages, but something made me think of it, and I now remember why I used to love it so. I remember, after church as a teenage, as were all leaving, the organist (a middle-aged woman) starts pounding this out, just beautifully. I was floored. Never realized it then, but JOY was quite appropriate there.
Something addictive about this song. Yes, Bach may be rolling over in his grave but maybe he is dancing ...and let's not forget "Bouree" by Jethro Tull.
This is one of my favorite instrumental recordings ever! My dad bought a record with this song on it, and it got my attention. Then I heard this, and I was hooked! This arrangement is a great piece to pique children's interest in classical music!
I was a kid when this came out, and it was one of my absolute favorites. I'd be ecstatic when it came on my Toot-a-Loop radio, while delivering papers after school.
I absolutely LOVE and TOTALLY remember this song so much !!! I can still picture it; eary spring of 1972; we were moving from a house to a temporary apt, while our new house was being built. It was an extremely humid night (first time I had ever seen "heat lightning", btw). We were loading up the car, and the sky was so dark and horrible looking ! We got in the car, drove in a horrible rain storm, when this song was playing on the car radio. I also heard, that night, Heart of stone (Neil Young) and A horse with no name (America). I will NEVER forget this, even 48 years later !!
One of my favorite instrumentals - what an awesome rendition - Bach would be proud, I think! When I hear this song, I catch myself fingering out the notes on my "air keyboard". Real talent to play at that pace!
Makes me sad for the younger generation today who will never know or appreciate these beautiful songs...too many to list, but there has never been anything like 50's - late 70's music. That era is completely gone now, and no one even tries to replicate any of these songs, that I know of anyway.
I am 14 years old. My grandma is from the 60’s and I admire all her stories like when she saw The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel. I love listening to music from the 50’s-70’s.
It's not SUPPOSED to be the same stupid that's why times, hairstyles, attitudes, technology changes. Instead of being crybabies enjoy the new information age that helps you go back to this music whiny prick.
September 5, 1972 - the song that defined my beginning of my indulgence for music like this - AND the song that started playing when I got my first full taste of sensuality, 14 years later - September 5, 1986. Thank you, Anne.
I was still 14 in (early) '72 when it first came out also. It got me into the works of the great 17th-19th century composers in addition to 20th century rock.
Also, listen to Switched on Bach. That is interesting, and from around the same time period. The keyboard solo in the Deep Purple song "Burn" is very Baroque I think. Check that song out. If that resonates, listen to Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, by the group, Emperor. Not "pop", but a brilliant meld of styles. Best wishes on your musical journey, Friend! 🙂
Bach -- the original rock and roll songwriter / keyboardist. Simply brilliant. Apollo 100 did an incredible job here -- a hit in the US charts. Bach would have been proud.
Just saw 40 year old virgin and had to locate this gem of an instrumental from my youth. Hard to feel down when this is playing. Thanks for sharing it.
It's in Boogie Nights (1997) before that as well. That scene with Mark Wahlberg changes the whole feeling of the song for me now (I loved it as a kid in '72). th-cam.com/video/igtWz1NT1eU/w-d-xo.html
Some music just makes your heart soar. It is an universal language. It is a form of worship to our loving God. A vehicle through which the soul sings or cries out. I love this song. I wonder what Mr. Bach was thinking when he wrote it.
When this was popular on the radio, our grade school gym teacher (later a state championship gymnastics coach) got a group of us together for performances of tumbling and mini-trampoline vaulting to this tune. Still makes me want to leap for joy 48 years later!
The Puerto Rican wrestling promotion WWC (Known as Capitol Sports Promotions until the 90s) used this song as the opening theme for their wrestling TV shows in the 70s to the early 80s.
Omg I was 12 back in 1972,,this song was always on the radio,,,it's one of my favorite song,,,the song has different tones it goes slow then fast,,pretty song...🤣👍👍👍
Another classic I listened (or should I say monitored) on AFN or Radio Luxembourg back in '72 when I was on Border Site in the land of Bach. Thanks for the memories, MusicMike.
R.I.P Tom Parker he passed in 2013 he was 68, .what a beautiful piece which was inspired by Joann Sebastian Bach...he was a British Musician born in Scotland. Apollo 100 was made with other musicians as a studio group ...so really this technically wasn't a band to bad this didn't last long they broke up in 73 .. Parker had other credits to his name like The Young Amadeus, and Young Verdi, as he recorded this with the New London Chorale....as Young Messiah....Parker was associated with other groups of the 60s...a very talented instrumentalist.... oh I remember about 6 years ago in college i wrote about this Song Joy....since it came out I always heard this music in my head because its that phenomenally awesome...
In the current depressing time a throwback to times that were ! And a prayer for all those affected and those trying to help them ! May you find the strength to see through these times !
WOW!! I honestly haven't heard this since my high school daze!!!! Used to see how much of it i could whistle without taking a breath, lol. Epic music from the days when the harpsichord was actually still heard on the radio!!!
The men behind both instrumentals (Tom Parker and Stan Free), I don't think I've ever seen pictures of them, but those early childhood memories can't be erased.
Always loved this song from the first time I heard it. I still love it. It never disappoints. It takes me back to a very special time in my childhood.❤
Between the Beatles and disco was truly a magical time, and they called it AM Solid Gold.
To me this is the most beautiful instrumental piece of music I ever heard in my life so far.
I agree! Check out the classical flavor of Tom Sholz and Boston.
It's more like a hodge-podge of Bach meets Kansas with a tinge of Beatles at the outro!
Fuckin 'A 👍👍 From Ireland 👍🍀
@@tweettweetjones1262everybody knows that JS Bach invented rock 'n roll!
My first 8 track!
You know a truly timeless song when it sounds fresh and good as this almost 48 years later.......
Make that 299 years later, as it's actually a piece by Bach first composed in 1723
@@brucelamberton8819 yOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN FROM A MASTER...
Bach around the clock. LOL.
Now 301 years later in January 2024.
I've got the 45 rpm single
There's a reason this piece of music is called "Joy." It is absolutely transcendent!
It's actually a piece by Bach originally composed in 1723
Bach is transcendent. 250 years after his death his music is still the greatest.
While I love this to pieces, the 1st movement of the 3rd Brandenburg Concerto has a teensy edge. Just a hairsbreadth.
Thanks for putting it on you tube for an old man to listen to.

My wife and I had this played as our processional for our wedding 48+ years ago. As much in love now as then!!
What a completely AWESOME choice for your processional! And congratulations on 48 (now 52?) years together.
How can anyone not like this happy song?
My mom had this record. Played it all throughout my childhood.
Bach will outlive us all. This is the proof.
Art is long and life is brief.
Younger generations who are clueless to melody.
This is my theme song
I played this at my last piano recital (1973) after begging my teacher to let me play something fun. Best time of my life then.
I still have this record. I cling on to the music of the 1970s.
"clinging"? Reveling!!!! It doesn't get better than this. Those of us who "get it" live richer lives.
Long may it live!
I still have mine, too! Have always loved this song!

i remember spring 1972 when this come out, I was 5yrs and the snow was melting and spring was in the air and time to fly the kites
One of the most upbeat songs I've ever heard! Just makes you feel good!

good music!
I envy anyone who can not only listen to music like this, but play it.
How is your progress coming along? Would love to hear your rendition!
@@donnielemmons8136 Getting some of the basic melody back down, at a slow tempo though. If I get it up to speed I may post s rendition of it.
Still have the 45rpm record. One of my mom's favorites - may she rest in peace. Great version!
Same here as also the album.
Sounds as fresh as it did back in 1972. Never get tired of playing it on my turntable.
Such a feel-good song! Let's all travel back to 1972, when everything was better.
Missendora I agree with you,,,,I was a teenager when this came out,, things were so easier back then.....so happy back then....
Or 1973-74, when it wasn't.
Also, if 1972 was so fantastic, what are you doing on TH-cam?
Take your 2018 world and shove it .1972 was great
I'm fine with this and I wasn't even born in the 20th century😂😂

Tom Parker and Apollo 100 dare to do what no one else would!
I had searched for this song for ever i didn't know the title it brings me back to the 70's
I bought the album when it came out. Radio stations played it frequently.
I had a Marantz stereo that put out all of 20 watts per channel. I got a pair of JBL (Jubal) model speakers, when their product was 100 % USA.. These came with a lifetime warranty.

It does stick in your head I'm a musician and if I can't hear a song I've been wanting to hear it stays stuck in my kind
Lucky You!
Can't be sad or angry or depressed after listening to this song.

JS Bach is history's most influential composer. There is not an era in western music that has not felt his influence and profited from his brilliance.
Handel too !!!
Bach, Beethoven and the Beatles (well, Lennon). Start with those 3 and you'll be fine.
That's a big call, but OK.
Wait a minute, Kanye said his music was better than Bach!

That is the power of affordable daycare.
A lot of music for a man with no rhythm.
@@iasimov5960 I'm curious, do you just have no musical knowledge whatsoever?
Bach wasn't a director, he was a producer! 😆

I LOVED this song!!!! I was 11 years old, I bought the 45 and played it over and over again. :)
I remember this well. It came out a few months after I finished high school.
From late 1971/early 1972. This one-hit wonder was a Top 5 smash on the L.A. music charts. 😁

Great thing about 70s popular music is that it wasn't all written by a small bunch of people like today's is.
Some music just makes your heart soar. It is an universal language. It is a form of worship to our loving God. A vehicle through which the soul sings or cries out. I love this song. I wonder what Mr. Bach was thinking when he wrote it.
When he heard this masterpiece cover, he was undoubtedly cheering from Heaven!!!
Joseph...
right on.
As Bach himself said, ““The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.”
Bach no longer believes.
I think he wrote it and thought, holy sh*t! that's cool!
Bach will outlive us all. This is some of what man produced that will be truly lasting.
MIchael Kozaczek thank God!!!

Superb song from early 1972, one of my all time favorites.
The Puerto Rican wrestling promotion WWC (Known as Capitol Sports Promotions until the 90s) used this song as the opening theme for their wrestling TV shows in the 70s to the early 80s.
Ya comenzó!!! El programa de las mil emociones!!! Hombres por los aires, patadas voladoras, la mejor lucha al ras de la lona!!!
Te faltó el… ¡ATÁNGANAAA!
My Childhood sweetheart had this on a 45. Used to hear this over and over during the Seventies!
Omg I was 12 back in 1972,,this song was always on the radio,,,it's one of my favorite song,,,the song has different tones it goes slow then fast,,pretty song...🤣👍👍👍
Another classic I listened (or should I say monitored) on AFN or Radio Luxembourg back in '72 when I was on Border Site in the land of Bach. Thanks for the memories, MusicMike.
You're welcome
I had worn out this record when I was 6 years old! I STILL LOVE THIS KICK-ASS HIT in (2016 and beyond)!!!
I'm a musician I've never worn out a record in my life
R.I.P Tom Parker he passed in 2013 he was 68, .what a beautiful piece which was inspired by Joann Sebastian Bach...he was a British Musician born in Scotland. Apollo 100 was made with other musicians as a studio group ...so really this technically wasn't a band to bad this didn't last long they broke up in 73 .. Parker had other credits to his name like The Young Amadeus, and Young Verdi, as he recorded this with the New London Chorale....as Young Messiah....Parker was associated with other groups of the 60s...a very talented instrumentalist.... oh I remember about 6 years ago in college i wrote about this Song Joy....since it came out I always heard this music in my head because its that phenomenally awesome...
This one is going in my Favorite Instrumentals playlist.
Joy, Apollo 100, one of the best instrumentals of all-time, it was the hit version of Bach's Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring.
I am so glad to hear this music again. Haven't heard this song since my childhood. Thanks for the music!
Love this! Had the album when I was 9 and played it til the grooves went smooth! LoL
I remember hearing this back in 72 on radio station kpoi in Honolulu just before graduating from high school.in 1972.
In the current depressing time a throwback to times that were ! And a prayer for all those affected and those trying to help them ! May you find the strength to see through these times !

WOW!! I honestly haven't heard this since my high school daze!!!! Used to see how much of it i could whistle without taking a breath, lol. Epic music from the days when the harpsichord was actually still heard on the radio!!!
LOL..Got ME also ! This was a stellar uplode..
This is the only song that I can say gives me Vietnam flashbacks and have it be true..
This and Popcorn were my instrumentals growing up.
Same here 👍👍

And Classical Gas
The men behind both instrumentals (Tom Parker and Stan Free), I don't think I've ever seen pictures of them, but those early childhood memories can't be erased.
Always loved this song from the first time I heard it. I still love it. It never disappoints. It takes me back to a very special time in my childhood.❤
