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.
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.
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. 🎶🎵🎶
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.
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+.
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'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.
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 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!
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 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. Bellamy died of liver failure in 2009, Lolly died 2010 from lung cancer complications. Pat Vegas has tried to form a new group "Redbone Europe". And Pat I filmed almost 10 years ago, is still with us. His son PJ Vegas does his own music & Native culture projects in the Los Angeles area.
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.
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.
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!❤😊🎉
It would honestly be hard for anyone 35+ years old (probably even younger) to have missed one of these songs unless the radio was absolutely forbidden or some such craziness
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!!
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!!! ❤
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.
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. ❤
Excuse me... I've not forgotten ANY of these songs. Don't get me wrong, I don't LOVE them all (i.e. Michael McDonald) but these song flow in, around and thru my memory AND the airwaves constantly. It's good these songs are organized here so maybe some virgins to music from the 60's 70's & 80's can get a listen to music with melodies & harmonies and lyrics not full of profanities.
@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.
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.
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.
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...
You had a photo of Jim Croce so i decided to watch your video of Ten Songs that have been forgotten and i agree with you because there was no song by Jim Croce and its ok you forgot to include him.Just hope there will be a part 2 of other "forgotten" songs.
I was born in 64, in Cali. I grew up listening to, among so many others. Strawberry Alarm Clock, Mountain, Derek and the Domino's, Edgar Winter, etc. Eric Burden and the Animal's, the Stones with Paint it Black from their first US Album in 64, the Mama's and the Papa's California Dreaming, Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick/Jefferson Starship/Starship from the 60's the the 90's. Sabbath, Rainbow, Serpent, etc. Ah the Memories and Music of MY GENERATION.
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? 😊
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!
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.
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.
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.
While I enjoyed the commentary, I wish the snippets of the songs were longer, so that we could recognize the song. I recognized some but not all, and I think I would have if given a little more time.
Got lots of fav artists from way back when....Stevie Wonder, Little River Band, Reo Speedwagon, Ambrosia, Journey, The Bee Gees, .38 Special, Lynerd Skynerd, Rod Stewart....I will stop commenting now cause the music really never stops.
I think a lot of people believe that Dire Straits started in 1984 with Money for Nothing. But their music before that was excellent and some of my favorite. Romeo & Juliette, Skateaway, Tunnel of Love, Lady Writer and Expresso Love are all my favorites and his guitar is classic. Gotta do something on that band. People forget of them especially before 1984.
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.
What an incredible memory to treasure! It’s not every day that a band, likely tired after performing, takes the time to sing their hit just for you. That kind of spontaneous, joyful connection is the magic of music and live performances-it bridges the gap between artist and audience in the most unforgettable way. Even 50 years later, it’s clear how much that moment meant, and it’s a beautiful reminder of how small acts of kindness and fun can leave a lifelong impression.
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
Don't know about airtime. I am 74 and thought I'd remember most of these. You lost me somewhere in the late seventies and only Betty Davis eyes was familiar in the eighties. I was busy raising kids. Then you went back to the fifties, and I remembered all but Rocket 88 which I'd never heard. I also never heard of Lola from the seventies. I'm having those "where were you?" moments. I do wonder how it is that I am at the tail end of my life, and I missed so much. But TH-cam is making catching up fun in my old age.
WOW! This is an incedible bit of video from the era's. Amazing and beautifully done. I remember all of this music. A "must watch" over and over. Thannks
A fun fact: my elementary class had to do bi-monthly sessions at the demolished YWCA in St. Joseph, MI, on Monday afternoons, 1975 thru 76: Mr. Tony literally forced me into the warm shower and Dr. John's guitar solo played in my head a few minutes...no cap!!
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!
I certainly have not forgotten these songs, and how awesome they are! I was born in the early 60's, so got to live through the decades of the best music ever ❤️ 60's, 70's, and 80's 😊
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 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. 🙂
Two or three songs in and I was getting miffed that you were playing such short bits from each song. Then I realized that (a) I can easily Google any of them in their full glory, and (b) this video is about the story of the song and the artist. So thanks for the blast from the past. Nicely done.
It is safe to to say flat out that rock and roll would not exist without Chuck Berry everyone from the Beatles to the Stones eagerly awaited his new records, he is amazing, I was fortunate to get to see him live at a Bridge School benefit concert, along with Jerry Lee Lewis, another true father of tock Chuck even duck-walked in his sixties, awesome!! I was in heaven and so thrilled my kids got to see him, too!!
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 ...
Bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole damn town Badder than a junk yard dog When my daughter (now 23) was in elementary school she came home with rewritten lyrics to this song And it was around the line take all the cars and bars and , I can’t remember what replaced it But I remember it was the only time I remember my beautiful little girl strongly opposing my belief to how something went historically As if she had lived in that time herself The educational system in America is a dangerous monster And we have no idea how powerful it can be My daughter hasn’t communicated a single word with me since just before turning 14 yrs old. Crushing, but hope and classic rock n roll keep me smiling You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone‼️
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?
You lead off with These Boots. Ahem. 3 notes, perfect for Nancy S. Some of these are not remembered because they just didn't withstand the test of time. Others not so much, of course (come and get your love, ...). Then, of course, some are not "forgotten" at all (Betty Davis Eyes).
I feel cheated, even if I do know thumbnails are usually misleading. Jim Croce, on the thumbnail, was amazing in the early 70s before his death in a plane crash. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was a romp. Time in a Bottle, I'll Have To Say I Love You in a Song. Operator was brilliant. It could pull your heart from your chest and stomp it flat (even if you don't know what an operator is or understand the reference to a dime). So many songs, but so few.
Which hit song do you feel doesn't get enough airplay? 🤔
Those racists were and still ARE Democrats.
Maybe learn history. Learn reality.
Does anybody remember the song 98.6 by Keith? It went gold but I don’t know much about that guy.

...and people criticize me for being stuck in the 70's and 80's when it comes to music. Ignorant mortals.
Yes, lovey, they are mere mortals......after all!
I resemble that remark for the 60's & 70's
Oh how I hear you on that I'm stuck in the 60's 70's & 80's when music was WORTH listening to unlike todays C-rap music
im the same stuck in the 50's and 60's music wise.

Very cool.
Well did they give you a ride home??? I got a good story with Redbone!!!
Who says these are forgotten? This is pretty much my playlist.
Indeed! My sons in their 20's know those better than me. Fogotten by the uneducated kids that listen to Bad Bunny instead of Adele, maybe.

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

I know how you feel
The industry has been cruel to the people who still love this music from the 60s and 70 s . 80s
I still can't get the soundtrack to "Smokey and the Bandit" anywhere!
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.
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!
1st time Ive heard it was on this video
@@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.
Bellamy died of liver failure in 2009, Lolly died 2010 from lung cancer complications.
Pat Vegas has tried to form a new group "Redbone Europe".
And Pat I filmed almost 10 years ago, is still with us. His son PJ Vegas does his own music & Native culture projects in the Los Angeles area.
Red Bone was awesome love 💖 the midnight special ❤️ 😊
Lou Reed man there was a lot of great music back when will stop now, thank you
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.
I have Pandora. I listen to Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Buddy Holly. The only person I have not programmed in is Jerry Lee Lewis. Can't stand him.
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.
Standard playlist!✌️
Here in Mountainhome, Arkansas, where it’s a retirement community we play a lot of those songs .it’s great
Patsy Cline is hands down the greatest female vocalist in history. Her voice is without a doubt one of a kind. I'm not even a country fan.
Patsy is one of my all time favorite female voices. I'm also a great big fan of Heart.
for sure.
Karen Carpenter enters the chat..... 🎤
@@lss74absolutely
She had a powerful voice.
Those that truly appreciate this music have NEVER forgotten how awesome it is... 🐺
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.
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!
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.
It would honestly be hard for anyone 35+ years old (probably even younger) to have missed one of these songs unless the radio was absolutely forbidden or some such craziness
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
Buddy Holley...forever helping us geeks and nerds be a little bit less uncool. Love you, man!
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!!! ❤
@@alexandraasbury9974 I'd say something but that wouldn't be cool, so I'll just leave you all with 😎
Holly!
I wish every radio station takes off todays music andcplays the greatest music ever written and sung. 50s 60s 70s
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*
"With or Without You" is popular on The Philippines' radio airwaves especially on Sundays, that song is played regularly.
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. ❤
Excuse me... I've not forgotten ANY of these songs. Don't get me wrong, I don't LOVE them all (i.e. Michael McDonald) but these song flow in, around and thru my memory AND the airwaves constantly. It's good these songs are organized here so maybe some virgins to music from the 60's 70's & 80's can get a listen to music with melodies & harmonies and lyrics not full of profanities.
...or autotune...
“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.
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.
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.
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...
96 Tears was my first single purchase!
Born in 1960, I LOVE every one of these songs! 💖💖💖
Being born in '57, I grew up with this great songs 💜👍😀
Same 😊.
Born in 1950…I enjoyed these songs. Thanks for the memories…
Me too.
1954...
Same here. Class of 57
The video is a great trip down memory lane. ❤ 🥰 Please do another version playing longer cuts of the songs.
"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.
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
GOD bless all of us watching this video, always & forever
I can understand that young kids like yourself feel that these songs are forgotten. But they are not!!!
You had a photo of Jim Croce so i decided to watch your video of Ten Songs that have been forgotten and i agree with you because there was no song by Jim Croce and its ok you forgot to include him.Just hope there will be a part 2 of other "forgotten" songs.
Oh, no. I have never forgotten these songs. I love them, and I sing along with them whenever I hear them. 💚
How about Jan and Dean "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" ,"Surf City", "Dead Mans Curve"
I was born in 64, in Cali. I grew up listening to, among so many others.
Strawberry Alarm Clock, Mountain, Derek and the Domino's, Edgar Winter, etc.
Eric Burden and the Animal's, the Stones with Paint it Black from their first US Album in 64, the Mama's and the Papa's California Dreaming, Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick/Jefferson Starship/Starship from the 60's the the 90's.
Sabbath, Rainbow, Serpent, etc.
Ah the Memories and Music of MY GENERATION.
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.
The Streak, was by Ray Stevens.
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
if you've ever worked in a store anywhere, ever, then "Come Get You Love" is in HEAVY rotation.
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! ❤
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!
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.
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'll take that original version and the Van Halen version over the Bowie/Jagger version any day. Their version is the worst imo.
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.
Here's the definitive version right here. LOL. th-cam.com/video/BHkhIjG0DKc/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forgot Black Oak Arkansas’ cover.
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‼️
I don't think U2's "With Or Without You" is a forgotten musical number! 😂❤
While I enjoyed the commentary, I wish the snippets of the songs were longer, so that we could recognize the song. I recognized some but not all, and I think I would have if given a little more time.
I love all these songs. I grew up with them and still listen to them. Thanks for the memories.❤❤👍👵
1965, The Honeycombs, Have I The Right. I wasn't even born, but man, what a song!!!!
Got lots of fav artists from way back when....Stevie Wonder, Little River Band, Reo Speedwagon, Ambrosia, Journey, The Bee Gees, .38 Special, Lynerd Skynerd, Rod Stewart....I will stop commenting now cause the music really never stops.
I think a lot of people believe that Dire Straits started in 1984 with Money for Nothing. But their music before that was excellent and some of my favorite. Romeo & Juliette, Skateaway, Tunnel of Love, Lady Writer and Expresso Love are all my favorites and his guitar is classic. Gotta do something on that band. People forget of them especially before 1984.
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!!❤
What an incredible memory to treasure! It’s not every day that a band, likely tired after performing, takes the time to sing their hit just for you. That kind of spontaneous, joyful connection is the magic of music and live performances-it bridges the gap between artist and audience in the most unforgettable way. Even 50 years later, it’s clear how much that moment meant, and it’s a beautiful reminder of how small acts of kindness and fun can leave a lifelong impression.
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
So completely perfect ‼️ I loved it.
My favorite all time song. Lots of other greats. But this one. I stop what I'm doin. Just close my eyes & enjoy.
Don't know about airtime. I am 74 and thought I'd remember most of these. You lost me somewhere in the late seventies and only Betty Davis eyes was familiar in the eighties. I was busy raising kids. Then you went back to the fifties, and I remembered all but Rocket 88 which I'd never heard. I also never heard of Lola from the seventies. I'm having those "where were you?" moments. I do wonder how it is that I am at the tail end of my life, and I missed so much. But TH-cam is making catching up fun in my old age.
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.
WOW! This is an incedible bit of video from the era's. Amazing and beautifully done. I remember all of this music. A "must watch" over and over. Thannks
You covered many great songs. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. God Bless You & stay safe.
A fun fact: my elementary class had to do bi-monthly sessions at the demolished YWCA in St. Joseph, MI, on Monday afternoons, 1975 thru 76: Mr. Tony literally forced me into the warm shower and Dr. John's guitar solo played in my head a few minutes...no cap!!
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!
Never forgotten. I grew up listening to these songs. Damn I'm old. 🥲
Forgot to add, A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum
Martha and the Vandellas in 1964 was the best version of Dancing in the Streets.Her vocals were far superior to any other version!
Have to agree, their version rocks!!
I liked Van Halen's version too.
I certainly have not forgotten these songs, and how awesome they are! I was born in the early 60's, so got to live through the decades of the best music ever ❤️ 60's, 70's, and 80's 😊
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!
Nena 99 Luftballon, Falco, Accept, Scorpions, Rammstein, MSG Michael Shaker Group, among other Great German Bands/Groups.
Some great music out of those eras thanks for bringing back these awesome songs
I hate to break it to you but I listen to these songs every day.😮
A few of these songs, yes. Many, are still classic throwback hits at retro parties.
These songs are unforgettable, not forgotten.
For once, I got a good recommendation for YT. I love this compilation. I miss the Righteous Brothers.
Big Country is one of my top 5 songs of all time. Glad you included it.
You Send Me is great… amazing, but Bring It On Home To Me is so insanely good that I can’t imagine not picking it.
Maybe you & some others out there, have forgotten these great songs. Many, many of us still remember them & listen to them often!
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. 🙂
Two or three songs in and I was getting miffed that you were playing such short bits from each song. Then I realized that (a) I can easily Google any of them in their full glory, and (b) this video is about the story of the song and the artist. So thanks for the blast from the past. Nicely done.
It is safe to to say flat out that rock and roll would not exist without Chuck Berry everyone from the Beatles to the Stones eagerly awaited his new records, he is amazing, I was fortunate to get to see him live at a Bridge School benefit concert, along with Jerry Lee Lewis, another true father of tock Chuck even duck-walked in his sixties, awesome!! I was in heaven and so thrilled my kids got to see him, too!!
There are many songs I could add:

Styx - Boat on the River
Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night

correction "Dream Academy - LIFE In A Northern Town" :-)
Bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than a junk yard dog
When my daughter (now 23) was in elementary school she came home with rewritten lyrics to this song
And it was around the line take all the cars and bars and , I can’t remember what replaced it
But I remember it was the only time I remember my beautiful little girl strongly opposing my belief to how something went historically
As if she had lived in that time herself
The educational system in America is a dangerous monster
And we have no idea how powerful it can be
My daughter hasn’t communicated a single word with me since just before turning 14 yrs old.
Crushing, but hope and classic rock n roll keep me smiling
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone‼️
They were all great songs which I remember them all ❤😊
I was born in 73, grew up listening to these because my dad listened to them. Love my 80's though.
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
You lead off with These Boots. Ahem. 3 notes, perfect for Nancy S. Some of these are not remembered because they just didn't withstand the test of time. Others not so much, of course (come and get your love, ...). Then, of course, some are not "forgotten" at all (Betty Davis Eyes).
Nice pun there on the Turtles' segment....."at loggerheads" 🤣
I feel cheated, even if I do know thumbnails are usually misleading. Jim Croce, on the thumbnail, was amazing in the early 70s before his death in a plane crash. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was a romp. Time in a Bottle, I'll Have To Say I Love You in a Song. Operator was brilliant. It could pull your heart from your chest and stomp it flat (even if you don't know what an operator is or understand the reference to a dime). So many songs, but so few.
These songs aren't forgotten. You're just listening to the wrong stations.
21:32 the song Dancing in the Streets. Martha and the Vandellas. Sung it best to me but to each their own. 🎵❤️🎵
