      Me, I was born in 1960. And I love this music. It's hard to say what was better the 60s music or the 70s music really. So very many amazing groups from the 60s like the Stones ,The Moody Blues, the Bee Gees The Beatles just never-ending massive talent really. And I love the 70s with groups like Aerosmith, Kiss, Boston, Kansas, all those really good Motown groups. Just so much fantastic music. Music is the best what would we do without it ?

    Hey ClayTamm, thanks for the nice compliment. Yes, we boomers enjoyed great songs, but youtube also shares these great moments for all to see and hear. Thank goodness. Back when I was a teen, we had to hope and wait for the D-jay to play or replay, over the airwaves, our fav-tunes. Sometimes waiting for days or weeks to hear it again. Today, tune delivery, is sooooo much greater. Just instantly. But ,no regrets. Just that technology was lacking then. 1953 was a good year for me. I was born at a good time. GPM-53.

    First 8 track tape I ever bought was “ The Grass Roots Greatest hits. I was a Sophomore in High School the year was 1972 and the cost was I believe an outrageous price of $3.99. The best money I ever spent ! I wore that 8 track out!

    Summer of 1971. I was eleven and bought this 45 with babysitting money. Ah, the halcyon days of childhood. I'm so glad I was a kid during the 60s and 70s. It takes the sting out of being 55. I love the brass. My grandson plays trumpet. :)

      EOW58, love the song now. I was already into Alice Cooper and hard rock by 71. FM was coming on strong and playing stuff the AM did not. In southern cal, we were listening to KHJ (an AM station that played all the current, mainstream stuff) for driving and FM (KMET, little bit of heaven 94.7 KMET, a deedle dee). The FM stations played whole albums like Dark Side of the Moon. Wow. I love my 60s pop; but, had strayed into new areas. Still, great song.

      Well let's see i was only 6 years old, always wish I could go back to that era but as a 53 year old, at least the music would sound much better. I fondly remember everyone still had a B+W set,on a warm Sunday my relatives would drive 30 miles just to get to the beach for one day. Corner drug store,playgrounds,bike rides too.
