Does anybody remember the song 98.6 by Keith? It went gold but I don’t know much about that guy. Lodi-CCR Time won’t let me - the outsiders Cover of the Rolling Stone… Dr. Hook I could probably go on forever… It’s too bad that today’s music is taking over the airwaves. But there are a few oldies channels out there… And there is a Lotta good music out there from back in the day.
@@NotaHero911-hq7dg thanks. I always thought it was hey 98.6… my cousin wrote down the lyrics all those years ago… Anyway, that’s how she heard it. Was a nice song… Wonder whatever happened to that guy
@@NotaHero911-hq7dg yep! when I was a kid, I thought the line in the Star-Spangled Banner, that said “ gave proof through the night” was” Babe Ruth through the night” because that was the song they sang at baseball games. Imagine how embarrassed I was when I sang it wrong in front of the class. That was about 50 years ago, just now getting over it! Lol.
There's a song my Dad had on an 8-track called Devil With A Blue Dress On. I have no idea who sang it, I just remember being in early grade school, getting up in the morning and BLASTING that song! My parents would CRACK UP watching me sing and dance to that song. What grate days❣️
The animals were planning at a bar I was working at. I worked well away from the band and finally my long day ended. As I waited for the cab (as buses had stopped many hours before), 4 guys came out talking and laughing. They asked me if I had liked the band. I told them I hadn’t heard them. So all four looked at me and sang their hit for me. Happened over 50 years ago but I still remember it.
The mistake here is that these songs are played regularly by people who grew up in that era . There aren’t many “ classic rock “ channels these days that regularly play those hits.
People who grew in that era aren't the only people who still listen to that music. I listen to all of the songs in this vidéo regularly and this music is all before my time.
My daughter was playing a Blink 182 song and I asked her what kind of music she would call that. She replied “ punk “. I then introduced her to the Ramones. She became a rabid fan. It was fun introducing her to Blondie and the Clash.
not all I know or listened to, but there sure are some great ones, bringing back memories: Crimson and clover, House of the rising sun.... Now i am more stuck on old Donovan, Cat Stevens, however I love me some acapella hymns.
I thank my father for loving all music from Tchaikovsky to tango from Glen Miller to the Carpenters born in 64 with ten older siblings i was lucky to be exposed to all that wonderful music and i have done the same for my children and they also love all kinds of music 😊😊🇨🇷
My mother had such an appreciation for music that she wanted all us siblings to learn music so we did learn and play instruments as well as listened to music on the radio and played records on the stereo. I took music appreciation in college and learned about Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc., as well. So you know I was listening to the 60's, 70's, and so on all of my life being the baby of the siblings bc I was born in the late 50's.
@@crystalkauffman3322 Music is a hell of a thing and wonderful as well. It tames the savage beast to stop and listen instead of attacking whatever is close to them. You can sleep to it; eat to it; study to it; dance to it; and listen to it. It can invoke thoughts and convey anything words can say. There's nothing better than it in all phases of our lives and we would be lost without it!!! It is one of the greatest gifts that GOD blessed us with up there with eating, sleeping, and sex; lol!!!
I thank my dad for his eclectic taste in music. He use to wake us every weekend to the loudest music & we never knew what was going to play. It could be a waltz or national March from Chile to the Beatles to what ever ABBA song was the hit at the time. He use to drive us crazy but jeez he could throw some wild parties with his friends. Miss him heaps, it's 8 years yesterday since his passing.
How can he not say that Martha & The Vandellas version of "Dancing In The Street" wasn't the best version, it's not only the best version of the song it's also the definitive version..
Indeed. But let's not forget how inappropriate it was for Bowie and Jagger to record the song for Live Aid. Think about it: It was a day for the world, and the song certainly points out that there will be "people dancing around the world". But when it mentions the places where these people are dancing, they're all in AMERICAN cities. Nowhere else. And I always thought that was hypocritical...
I agree. I thought the Rolling Stones version of "Dancing in the Street" and, especially, "Harlem Shuffle", were pointless. Martha & the Vandellas and Bob and Earl did the definitive versions of these songs.
We haven't forgotten any of these great songs! There're just a lot of music lovers who are too young to have heard them. Younger people will have their own "oldies" in layer decades. 🎶🎵🎶
I'm 66. I remember ALL of those. Know the words and tunes. And, 1986-88 I worked for a radio station doing weekend board op for Solid Gold Saturday Night and the Pillow Talk afterwards. It was an easy listening station but did SGSN. And your segment about Patsy Cline made me smile. My mom was a young woman in the Navy in Norfolk when she met Patsy in a bar she was singing in. Mom had some great stories about her and some of their fun at the time.
I don't know you but I know you can't be that uncool!! I thought I was cool, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get 37 likes in 5 years. You got 'em in five months, baby!!! Ooof!!! ❤
No, wrong, we never forgot any of these songs, especially Bette Davis' Eyes. Unforgettable! Patsy Cline is played in my home once a month. You are young, we know every lyric of all these songs. I am glad you are sharing with your peers. We still play Buddy Holly, and mourn in February. Playing, Bye, bye, Miss American Pie!
My big brother is a huge Buddy Holly fan and if I'd been born earlier, I prob would've been, too. Good for you, for my bro would say (and I think I'd have to agree) that "you must have good taste, concettaworkman5895". And Patsy Cline gets an A+.
I hung out with Tracy Lee Nelson who filled-in for Lolly on the guitar after his stroke. The phrase "Come & Get Your Love" was actually when the Vasquez brother's father was going to punish them for something they did. But, they were first active in Latino music in SoCal, then were hot into Surf Guitar craze. As studio musicians, they worked with many singers, the late Tina Turner probably being most famous. The recording industry was very tight & controlling. So Redbone went to clubs in Europe and were instant superstars. But they "lost" Pete "King Kong" DePoe, drummer, to the vast abundance of drugs. Back in the States, 2 changes of drummers, but now more albums showing the range of influences that was part of their sound. Pat (Vasquez) Vegas is still with us, his son PJ Vegas does projects, and activism for Native Americans in the Los Angeles area. I'm not in SoCal now... the pandemic era, and inflation, shut down my road trips. Now on my phone, I can pull up songs from the era. Back on Island of Guam, I did chores for my jukebox money 1969 to 1975. Peace-out!
@@theukuleledirectory3900 Redbone were suppressed in USA because of the big label record companies. They became superstars in Europe, then returned USA and Soul Train tv show hosted them. But the big shootout between FBI and AIM at Wounded Knee hurt their prospects. Their new albums has some political messages. Pete DePoe did too much drugs in Europe, forgot how to drum, Arturo Perez replaced him, then Tony Bellamy's cousin Butch Rillera took the drums. Lolly had a stroke in mid 1990's.

Thanks to reaction channels, songs like these are kept alive for younger generations to discover and help those of us who have heard them a thousand times gain a new appreciation for them. TH-cam forever!
From the early 60's a beautiful love song by the Paris Sisters "I Love How You Love Me." Back in the day when people use to enjoy slow-dancing with their significant other.
When the Animals were in the studio to record *House of the Rising Sun, they did it in ONE TAKE, Start to Finish!* Because at the time, they could *ONLY AFFORD ONE TAKE!* and They Nailed It
I was a teenager in the '80s. I grew up listening to rock from the '60s and '70s, and of course I heard all the '80s songs mentioned here when they were on the pop-music radio stations -- and saw their videos on MTV every day when I got home from school. Nearly all of the songs in this video is on one of my playlists. 😊 They all get tons of airplay in this house.
@ashurmom Our grandparents' two songs sung at their 50th anniversary Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger" And Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night.' They always said they would have divorced but they couldn't afford it.
74 soon to be 75 and remember and loved them all from the Varsity Club in my youth to the radio, 45s, and garage bands, to roller skating and disc dancing in the clubs til' today they will always be remembered and loved. Could listen to your picks "all night long."
I happen to know every one of these songs because I love all genres of music. Rock is my favorite, though. Thank you for the walk down memory lane, and these youngsters nowadays should look up some older music and see what they've been missing! Once again, thanks for the walk down memory lane!❤😊🎉
I am in the UK. House of the Rising Sun is NOT forgotten. Gerry and the Pacemaker are also very famous for Ferry across the Mersey. The Age of Aquarius...I love it and I listen to Hair once in a while. This is an excellent list and I have most of them, so I listen to them. Now, this video will move me to play it to others!!
CHERISH, by the Association, the group that could do more with 1 or 2 notes than any other group I've ever heard, thanks to their "6-part harmony!" Sadly, their lead singer and composer died recently.
There's so many great songs that came out in the 60's and 70's. Everyone was making great music and you may have left out a few songs (i.e., Can't Take My Eyes Off of You; Hurt So Bad; Going Out of My Head; Spooky; Groovin, People Got to Be Free; Crystal Blue Persuasion; Magic Carpet Ride; Dancing in the Moonlight; It's Magic; Baby Light My Fire; Baby I Love Your Ways, Listen to the Music, Hotel California; Long Train Running ; Horse With No Name; Fallin In Love Again; How Long; Tiny Dancer; Ride Like the Wind; Don't Want to Fall in Love (oops the 80's); More Love; Baby, Baby, Don't Cry; In the Mood; That's the Way I Feel About You, and a whole lot of R&B and Soul; etc.). I call the White music blue-eyed soul. The 80's were the bomb with everyone making music still played today!!!
@@philshock3805 I know; huh. This is why I love TH-cam and make playlists as well as buy those Time Warner CDs to remember these songs and entertain myself, family, and friends. These songs invoke memories, sometimes good and bad, but more good than bad and can make even better memories.
I love every single song on your post. Every decade had incredible music and I enjoyed every minute of the greatest music the world has ever known. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Now I feel old!!!!! Actually I am old and remembered almost every song on this list! I even have my 45s from my early years! Thanks for such a wonderful list!!!!!
I got a shitload of 45 records. Lots old albums too. Never threw anything away. 2 versions of House of the Rising Sun. 1 by The Animals The other by a group called Fridged Pink
Thanks for showing your appreciation of these songs. Sadly, New York oldies radio no longer plays 60s and 70s music. I enjoyed these songs as a kid, and greatly appreciate them now more than ever. Awesome video! Keep up the great work.
When my then 14 years old daughter got up at a biker party and sang Aretha Franklin Chain of Fools,followed by my all time favorite country song,Wishful Thinking, by Wynn Stewart, and made me cry in front of fellow bikers. Didn't know she'd learned the country song and the queen bee of biker women put her arm around me and told me to be proud of my daughter, because she'd learned the song for me. I'll never forget that.
Good list but was hoping to see The Mamas and the Papas and Jim Croce since they are in the thumbnail. Also Jerry Lee Lewis did pass away earlier this year. But I'm a big Turtles fan so always fun to see Howard and the gang!
Why do you have pics of Mama Cass, Jim Croce, and Linda Rondstat if you're not going to feature their songs? Liked the video but feel cheated because you left them out
Great blast from the past! Back in the 70's we had our ears glued to radios on Friday night countdown as our favoutite DJs broadcast the voter's number placements on the Charts. Who here remembers The Streak and Goofy Greats? 😊
Many of your choices are on my playlist in my car. Amazing how you can put 50,000 songs on a piece of material smaller than a corn chip. Beats the hell out of my collection of 8-tracks. Great video. I even shared it on my fb page.
The one band I used to love from the 80s, and they had several great hits, but you never hear them now is, The Thompson Twins, I loved, Doctor Doctor, Love on your side, and my fav, Hold Me Now. Fantastic 80s sounds.
I havent read through all the comments, but I just want to point out that Nena's 99 Luftballoons was probably the first German language song on the popular charts. Also, I think Der Kommisar was before, if not contemporary. 🙂
I still listen to the original "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood today, that I heard as a 5-year old kid! So, that is also not forgotten! I didn't have any knowledge that Whitney Houston did a cover of the song - till the remixed version of Kygo came out in 2019!
Back In The High Life for me. CBS played it during the highlights of the 1987 NBA Finals between the Celtics and winning Lakers at the end of the broadcast. CLASSIC!
I was born in 1970, so the '80's were my coming-of-age time, for better or worse lol. And, @DoYouRemember?, I don't know where you come from, but you've got to be a time traveler to be able to take me literally back to those days like you do. In your videos sometimes I shake my head, sometimes I shed a tear, but I always smile and enjoy them!
The Kinks semi-comeback in 1982 was fantastic - great show and a great follow up live double album. Every song gets a harder - and much better - treatment.
I don’t think the Kinks get enough credit for their impact and influence as a classic rock band. Ray is one of the greatest, most prolific songwriters in the history of Rock, and his brother Dave is a criminally underrated lead guitarist.
Loved that Kinks live album, and I agree, their live versions on that album are generally way better than their studio versions! Where have all the good times gone?
WOW!! that was way too cool man! i grew up listening to all of those songs and artists. didn't care for U2, and you nailed them as what they became. So many beautiful songs when music was great. the Supreme's, Paul Revere and the Raiders are just two that come to me as having great easy listening songs. I enjoyed this. hope to see more. thank you.
I remember when "Rock Me Amadeus" felt like it was playing 24/7 on every rock station that 15-year-old me listened to. I never did understand every bit of the lyrics lol. Now I've got to look them up...
Ah yes, 45s. My first four 45s: Bridget the Midget, Hot Rod Lincoln, Lucretia MacEvil, Hey Jude/Revolution. Hmm, looks like I was buying about one single a year.
@@24get24giveyes! I remember those well, I had a couple of their tapes, but for whatever reason my radio station rarely played them. West End Girls was always on, seemed like.
I graduated in the mid 70's so I got to hear most of the 60s. I didn't appreciate the wide and new variety of the 60s until recent years. The 70s was torture and salad spoon gagging. Between awful sappy music and horrid fashion nuclear wasteland, there were occasional gems like Sweet, Boston, Fleetwood and such. Then came my favorite decade....1980s. Partying, designer jeans (women), and just a fun time. Musically you never knew what new band/genre was hitting the air next week. It was eclectic, fast and exciting.
With or Without You isn't forgotten, or am I just so old that I still listen to it and think about it more than most people? And those '50s songs are *chef's kiss* primo...
I don't get why Bowie's Life on Mars doesn't get as much airplay as it deserves. To me, it's the best Bowie song ever. Personally, I have liked almost all of these songs for years upon years. Even those released way before I was born. My mother always played a lot of fifties, sixties and seventies music as I grew up. Grew up in the eighties. This music was more or less the music of my childhood. The few that weren't either weren't big here or my mother simply didn't like them. Awesome and not that forgotten. At least not by me.
There are many songs I could add: Mick Jagger - Just another Night Duran Duran - A View to a Kill Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon Herbie Hancock - Rock It Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart Styx - Boat on the River Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers - Don't Come Around Here No More Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance Fleetwood Mac - Big Love Survivor - Burning Heart The Hooters - And We Danced Kate Bush - Cloudbusting Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster Kim Wilde - Cambodia Status Quo - In the Army Now Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself OMD - Secret The Stranglers - Golden Brown Godley & Creme - Cry Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra Michael Jackson - Give in to me Dream Academy - Live in a Northern Town Fleetwood Mac - The Chain The Art of Noise - Paranoimia ...
Why didn't you mention that Steve Winwood's song Higher Love featured Chaka Khan? They were an awesome duo! Also, Jerry Lee Lewis passed away in October 2022. RIP, Killer.
You've masterfully captured the essence of the 1960s Hollywood era, allowing us to witness the profound transformations of these actors within the narrative.
Which hit song do you feel doesn't get enough airplay? 🤔
Those racists were and still ARE Democrats.
Maybe learn history. Learn reality.

None of these songs are “forgotten” by those of us that lived through these decades.

Redbone song one of the most awesome of the era. One of my favorites- thanks for recognizing it
I’ve love that song since it hit the radio waves!! There’s just something about that song❤❤❤✌🏻
Redbone played at the at Philadelphia's First Earth Day celebration that was held at Strawberry Mansion in April 1970. (I was there.)
I hung out with Tracy Lee Nelson who filled-in for Lolly on the guitar after his stroke. The phrase "Come & Get Your Love" was actually when the Vasquez brother's father was going to punish them for something they did.
But, they were first active in Latino music in SoCal, then were hot into Surf Guitar craze.

Nearly all of the songs in this video is on one of my playlists. 😊 They all get tons of airplay in this house.
Same over here 😉
@@eily_bsame here too!
none of these tunes were on MTV
I am pretty sure I saw them on MTV .@@joncox2572
Same here!
“Happy Together” was my wedding song in 2006 😊
Was everybody's wedding song the first 3 yrs after it came out. Good thing you waited until 2000s it was fresh and new.
@ashurmom
Our grandparents' two songs sung at their 50th anniversary
Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger"
And
Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night.'
They always said they would have divorced but they couldn't afford it.
Being born in '57, I grew up with this great songs 💜👍😀
Same 😊.
Ditto 😁.
Born in 1950…I enjoyed these songs. Thanks for the memories…
Me too.
1954...
"Casino Royale" -- Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
"Out In The Country" -- Three Dog Night
"Ball Of Confusion" -- The Temptations
I was able to see 3 dog night in Hicksville, Oh. Of all places, small town... they didn't play, " out in the country " .???
I was crushed.
🍂🕊🍂
I introduced a couple of young guys at work to Herb Alpert with Taste of Honey.
I don't think U2's "With Or Without You" is a forgotten musical number! 😂❤
96 Tears was my first single purchase!
74 soon to be 75 and remember and loved them all from the Varsity Club in my youth to the radio, 45s, and garage bands, to roller skating and disc dancing in the clubs til' today they will always be remembered and loved. Could listen to your picks "all night long."
I happen to know every one of these songs because I love all genres of music. Rock is my favorite, though. Thank you for the walk down memory lane, and these youngsters nowadays should look up some older music and see what they've been missing! Once again, thanks for the walk down memory lane!❤😊🎉
i made sure my kids learned 60 an 70s music, among other kinds.
I am in the UK. House of the Rising Sun is NOT forgotten. Gerry and the Pacemaker are also very famous for Ferry across the Mersey. The Age of Aquarius...I love it and I listen to Hair once in a while. This is an excellent list and I have most of them, so I listen to them. Now, this video will move me to play it to others!!
😁 Mersey
you are right. Damn auto-correct and me not checking!!!!@@MichaelWMoses
What a great collection of songs. They are absolutely not forgotten.
Was going to write the same thing
CHERISH, by the Association, the group that could do more with 1 or 2 notes than any other group I've ever heard, thanks to their "6-part harmony!" Sadly, their lead singer and composer died recently.
I loved that song yes the Association is great 👍
This was one of my favorite songs.
God yes‼️
There's so many great songs that came out in the 60's and 70's. Everyone was making great music and you may have left out a few songs (i.e., Can't Take My Eyes Off of You; Hurt So Bad; Going Out of My Head; Spooky; Groovin, People Got to Be Free; Crystal Blue Persuasion; Magic Carpet Ride; Dancing in the Moonlight; It's Magic; Baby Light My Fire; Baby I Love Your Ways, Listen to the Music, Hotel California; Long Train Running ; Horse With No Name; Fallin In Love Again; How Long; Tiny Dancer; Ride Like the Wind; Don't Want to Fall in Love (oops the 80's); More Love; Baby, Baby, Don't Cry; In the Mood; That's the Way I Feel About You, and a whole lot of R&B and Soul; etc.). I call the White music blue-eyed soul. The 80's were the bomb with everyone making music still played today!!!
Agreed. I was in Detroit suburbs in the 60's. Motown was doing well, doo wop was still strong and I loved all of it.
@@gmaureen Me too!!!
Nice list! All of those bring back a lot of memories ....
@@philshock3805 I know; huh. This is why I love TH-cam and make playlists as well as buy those Time Warner CDs to remember these songs and entertain myself, family, and friends. These songs invoke memories, sometimes good and bad, but more good than bad and can make even better memories.
I love every single song on your post. Every decade had incredible music and I enjoyed every minute of the greatest music the world has ever known. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Now I feel old!!!!! Actually I am old and remembered almost every song on this list! I even have my 45s from my early years! Thanks for such a wonderful list!!!!!
I got a shitload of 45 records. Lots old albums too. Never threw anything away. 2 versions of House of the Rising Sun. 1 by The Animals
The other by a group called Fridged Pink
Me too. No hashtag.
Thanks for showing your appreciation of these songs. Sadly, New York oldies radio no longer plays 60s and 70s music. I enjoyed these songs as a kid, and greatly appreciate them now more than ever. Awesome video! Keep up the great work.
*DO YOU AGREE WITH ME*
Lou Reed man there was a lot of great music back when will stop now, thank you
"With or Without You" is popular on The Philippines' radio airwaves especially on Sundays, that song is played regularly.
You’ll never walk alone was kept alive in USA for many years by Jerry Lewis who sang it in support of those people with muscular dystrophy.
I can understand that young kids like yourself feel that these songs are forgotten. But they are not!!!
Great songs to hear as an old man a decade & more over 60 years plus. These old songs bring about a lot of good old memories.
hey, i'm right there with you! Just hit the big 60 and hubby 64. ditto on the old songs and good memories.
When my then 14 years old daughter got up at a biker party and sang Aretha Franklin Chain of Fools,followed by my all time favorite country song,Wishful Thinking, by Wynn Stewart, and made me cry in front of fellow bikers. Didn't know she'd learned the country song and the queen bee of biker women put her arm around me and told me to be proud of my daughter, because she'd learned the song for me. I'll never forget that.
Good list but was hoping to see The Mamas and the Papas and Jim Croce since they are in the thumbnail. Also Jerry Lee Lewis did pass away earlier this year. But I'm a big Turtles fan so always fun to see Howard and the gang!
My favorites were Janis Joplin, Cass Elliot and Tina Turner! You can’t get any better! You NEVER hear them played on oldies radio!
You forgot Linda Ronstadt! ❤
Why do you have pics of Mama Cass, Jim Croce, and Linda Rondstat if you're not going to feature their songs? Liked the video but feel cheated because you left them out
No Jim Croce song is played enough these days.
Jim Croce is one of the greatest singers ever
I love all these songs. I grew up with them and still listen to them. Thanks for the memories.❤❤👍👵
Great blast from the past! Back in the 70's we had our ears glued to radios on Friday night countdown as our favoutite DJs broadcast the voter's number placements on the Charts. Who here remembers The Streak and Goofy Greats? 😊
"don't look Ethel"
"The Streak", Jim Stafford, also had "I don't like spiders and snakes" and "My girl, Bill". He even had a short-lived television variety show.
Many of your choices are on my playlist in my car. Amazing how you can put 50,000 songs on a piece of material smaller than a corn chip. Beats the hell out of my collection of 8-tracks. Great video. I even shared it on my fb page.
GOD bless all of us watching this video, always & forever
The one band I used to love from the 80s, and they had several great hits, but you never hear them now is, The Thompson Twins, I loved, Doctor Doctor, Love on your side, and my fav, Hold Me Now. Fantastic 80s sounds.
I saw the TTs in concert in Columbus Ohio around 1985. The opening act was OMD Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark A great concert.
Don't forget "The Name of Love"
Our lips are sealed, another cracker of a track.
A great band -- and Michael White ended up becoming a BRILLIANT science writer. The more you know, right?!
Loved the Thompson Twins!!❤
I havent read through all the comments, but I just want to point out that Nena's 99 Luftballoons was probably the first German language song on the popular charts. Also, I think Der Kommisar was before, if not contemporary. 🙂
OK, am I the only person who instantly wants to be this guys friend and hang out with him? What a great storyteller!
Indeed. And here was me expecting a computer voice
I still listen to the original "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood today, that I heard as a 5-year old kid! So, that is also not forgotten! I didn't have any knowledge that Whitney Houston did a cover of the song - till the remixed version of Kygo came out in 2019!
Back In The High Life for me. CBS played it during the highlights of the 1987 NBA Finals between the Celtics and winning Lakers at the end of the broadcast. CLASSIC!
Love Michael McDonald and the Doobie Bros 😊❤
"Written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins"
Ugh... that's Kenny Rogers 😂😂😂
"Bagpipes are not very cool."
Bon Scott and Steve Earle have entered the chat...
That's an insult to all Scottish people. Bagpipes are the best!
I was born in 1970, so the '80's were my coming-of-age time, for better or worse lol. And, @DoYouRemember?, I don't know where you come from, but you've got to be a time traveler to be able to take me literally back to those days like you do. In your videos sometimes I shake my head, sometimes I shed a tear, but I always smile and enjoy them!
The Kinks semi-comeback in 1982 was fantastic - great show and a great follow up live double album. Every song gets a harder - and much better - treatment.
I don’t think the Kinks get enough credit for their impact and influence as a classic rock band. Ray is one of the greatest, most prolific songwriters in the history of Rock, and his brother Dave is a criminally underrated lead guitarist.
Their Low Budget album is one of favorite albums .
Loved that Kinks live album, and I agree, their live versions on that album are generally way better than their studio versions! Where have all the good times gone?
@@jdaniels1313 Guessing you mean One For the Road - which is just an amazing collection. A “must hear” for any classic rock aficionado!
YES !!!!!!!!@@raremage
The video is a great trip down memory lane. ❤ 🥰 Please do another version playing longer cuts of the songs.
I grew up in the 90s. But my dad was from this era, so this is the music that I grew up hearing. And I don't hear them anywhere often enough, anymore
I wish every radio station takes off todays music andcplays the greatest music ever written and sung. 50s 60s 70s
WOW!! that was way too cool man! i grew up listening to all of those songs and artists. didn't care for U2, and you nailed them as what they became. So many beautiful songs when music was great. the Supreme's, Paul Revere and the Raiders are just two that come to me as having great easy listening songs. I enjoyed this. hope to see more. thank you.
The first time i ever heard that 'So happy together' song was when it was used in a commercial for Nintendo's Super Smash Bros game in the late 90s.
Born in 1960, I LOVE every one of these songs! 💖💖💖
if you've ever worked in a store anywhere, ever, then "Come Get You Love" is in HEAVY rotation.
I am from the US and I have never forgotten "You'll Never Walk Alone" or any song by Gerry and the Pacemakers"!
The Turtles appeared at my high school orientation back in 1967!
None of the songs in this video would be on my list of forgotten, awesome songs.
You had me at pulsating organs 😂
I just spit out my soda reading this
😂😂👍🏻
They were all great songs which I remember them all ❤😊
I remember when "Rock Me Amadeus" felt like it was playing 24/7 on every rock station that 15-year-old me listened to. I never did understand every bit of the lyrics lol.
Now I've got to look them up...
Ha yea me too👍
Maybe I should drag out all of my old 45s
Ah yes, 45s. My first four 45s: Bridget the Midget, Hot Rod Lincoln, Lucretia MacEvil, Hey Jude/Revolution. Hmm, looks like I was buying about one single a year.
The Pet Shop Boys “West End Girls” is one that always drew me, and one that back then got a LOT of airtime.
don't forget Com e on Eileen and Dance Hall Days!
@@24get24giveyes! I remember those well, I had a couple of their tapes, but for whatever reason my radio station rarely played them. West End Girls was always on, seemed like.
Nice pun there on the Turtles' segment....."at loggerheads" 🤣
You covered many great songs. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. God Bless You & stay safe.
1965, The Honeycombs, Have I The Right. I wasn't even born, but man, what a song!!!!
A few of these songs, yes. Many, are still classic throwback hits at retro parties.
...and people criticize me for being stuck in the 70's and 80's when it comes to music. Ignorant mortals.
Everyone of these eras was fantastic!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The 80's had the best songs EVER..Great High School memories!!
I graduated in the mid 70's so I got to hear most of the 60s. I didn't appreciate the wide and new variety of the 60s until recent years. The 70s was torture and salad spoon gagging. Between awful sappy music and horrid fashion nuclear wasteland, there were occasional gems like Sweet, Boston, Fleetwood and such. Then came my favorite decade....1980s. Partying, designer jeans (women), and just a fun time. Musically you never knew what new band/genre was hitting the air next week. It was eclectic, fast and exciting.
With or Without You isn't forgotten, or am I just so old that I still listen to it and think about it more than most people?
And those '50s songs are *chef's kiss* primo...
Come and get your love! One of the best songs ever!
I don't get why Bowie's Life on Mars doesn't get as much airplay as it deserves. To me, it's the best Bowie song ever.
Personally, I have liked almost all of these songs for years upon years. Even those released way before I was born. My mother always played a lot of fifties, sixties and seventies music as I grew up. Grew up in the eighties. This music was more or less the music of my childhood. The few that weren't either weren't big here or my mother simply didn't like them. Awesome and not that forgotten. At least not by me.
Some great music out of those eras thanks for bringing back these awesome songs
Absolutely love the tamborine!
96 Tears was also covered by Garland Jefferies in 1981 and was a popular song once again.
There are many songs I could add:
Mick Jagger - Just another Night
Duran Duran - A View to a Kill
Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon
Herbie Hancock - Rock It
Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart
Styx - Boat on the River
Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night
Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers - Don't Come Around Here No More
Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance
Fleetwood Mac - Big Love
Survivor - Burning Heart
The Hooters - And We Danced
Kate Bush - Cloudbusting
Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster
Kim Wilde - Cambodia
Status Quo - In the Army Now
Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself
OMD - Secret
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Godley & Creme - Cry
Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra
Michael Jackson - Give in to me
Dream Academy - Live in a Northern Town
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
The Art of Noise - Paranoimia
...
correction "Dream Academy - LIFE In A Northern Town" :-)
Any music fan over age 30 knows about most of these songs.
Oh, no. I have never forgotten these songs. I love them, and I sing along with them whenever I hear them. 💚
In the 80s I had a cassette tape of classical music, mostly Mozart, but Rock Me Amadeus was one of the tracks. 😋
I love this list, but wish you'd added more of the songs into it.
Jerry Lee Lewis passed away in 2022 at age 87
Re: Redbone: They also made some controversial songs at the time, like "Custer Had It Coming." This rubbed many in the radio community the wrong way.
Good day!
Seen a PBS show on how the U.S. government had a hand in keeping indigenous peoples music OFF the radio. I had no idea. Sad.
🍂🕊🍂
Why didn't you mention that Steve Winwood's song Higher Love featured Chaka Khan? They were an awesome duo! Also, Jerry Lee Lewis passed away in October 2022. RIP, Killer.
I, and even better still my kids, got to see Jerry Lee live at a Bridge school benefit concert, along with Chuck Berry still duck-walking!!!
You've masterfully captured the essence of the 1960s Hollywood era, allowing us to witness the profound transformations of these actors within the narrative.
16 Tons , Theme from a summer place, Midnight in Moscow there is three you can work with
I hate to break it to you but I listen to these songs every day.😮
