    My parents were big Fats Domino fans, they had a lot of his 45s, what fascinated me about them were they were all different colors, yellow, red, blue, green. We had to move in a hurry one time and left them behind. The Coasters (Probably had 1 or less original members) played the Myrtle Beach AFB NCO Club. They played all their hits, and the lead singer danced with my wife (She must have looked good, because Percy Sledge also danced with her on another concert 😁). Frank and crew bringing all the hits! Looks like a wonderful trip, this time on the Way, Way Back Machine. Thanks Midnight Special!

      My dad had stacks and stacks of 45's, I can still remember color of the label of many of my favorites. He lost a lot of them in the back window of his car when they melted. From this episode I remember "Yakety Yak" by the Coasters had a yellow label, "Rag Doll" by Frankie Valli had a black label.

      @@Royalle_with_Cheese Actually high schoolers in the 70s are Generation Jones, those born from 1954-1964, we were born too young for Woodstock, Haight Asbury, Vietnam war protest, barely there for Earth Day. They call us Joneser's, because, as quoted from the big hair red head in Dazed and Confused, "The 60s Rocked, the 70s, well look around sucks, so the 80s will be epic!" We had no causes to protest for, we had the most freedom of any generation, almost no parental supervision, cheap weed, great music, cars (or knew someone who had one). It was the best decade to come to age in. Generation Jones is a thing, Google it to find out more. I had nothing in common with hippies or Nam vets, the Beatles were broke up, though George Harrison was cranking great tunes, I am not a Baby Boomer, I'm too young!

    At this point in time the Four Seasons had completed an unsuccessful 2+ years at Motown, with their last single for the label, "Hickory," having tanked in the spring of '74. But their fortunes would soon be on the rise, signing with Warner Brothers and hitting the top 5 again with "Who Loves You," a year after this episode was broadcast.

    Bassist Joe Long played with the band from the late 60s until the mid 70s. This particular grouping features Frankie, Joe, and members of the "Who Loves You" and "December '63 (Oh, What a Night)" version of the Seasons. These guys could really rock out with Gerry Polci on drums. Gerry would sing lead vocal on "December '63 (Oh What a Night.)"

    I wouldn't have watched this in 1974. I thought this was old fart music. I was a teen so I was more into CSNY and other hippie rock. But now, watching this, I find that I know and enjoy most of these songs. How is that? 😊😊🎶🎶

      Because you're older and have a better appreciation and deeper understanding of the music and the artists.
      The passage of time allows us to see things differently. In our youth, we live for the moment and enjoy what's popular at the time.
      Age provides prospective and gives us the chance to see things we took for granted in a different light.

      @robmatlock7675 21 день тому

      @@PlatinumBlack90038 1921 was a tragedy, which needed to be addressed. It may have been the 70s vibe, there was a general feeling of peace, we all listened to the same music, shared time together, smoked dope together, my high school was so racially balanced in 1977 we voted co-homecoming queens. I have commented on so many sites, that I know if I tell of my friend's racial make-up, then I am just justifying and will be called racist, if I tell of my racial make-up, believe or not I'm not as white as you think, if I tell of growing up in the projects, again, Though the mix of my friends and the discussions we had and the experiences we shared, justifying. The 70s in Tulsa was a time of respect and appreciation for each's differences and similarities. To deride me, as some will for saying I was more concerned about individuals than color. My time in Tulsa prepared me for my 24 years in the Air Force, where everyone is AF Blue and merit is the standard by which we were judged. Of course, when I held my grandbabies all I saw was beautiful, not color! My first though is not race, my first instinct is not to judge, my God, that I met in a Salvation Army in Tulsa, told me to love as He loved me, without conditions.
