I was 8 years old and fell in love with Disco music in the early summer of 1974. A great but distressing time in history.
Like all things... good & bad :)
Got married in the summer of '74 and am still married to her. Started my junior year of college in the fall. I was a music major and played in any kind of group I could including a few orchestra gigs. I don't remember a lot of tv even though we had one as I went to school in the day time and played in bands in the night. Bought my first car, a 64 ford falcon for $150. The following year I bought a brand new car as I was making a lot of money by then playing in a rock band. Good stuff Johnnyboy!
Rip Ed Sullivan,Bud Abbott,Jack Benny,Mama Cass,Frank Sutton and Lucky Lindy. Never to be forgotten.
Oh 1974 what a year for me. Best year of my life. I was twenty years old young and free. Had a great job and was driving a 1970 Roadrunner with nothing but time on my hands. How fast the years have passed but I will never forget 1974.
Thanks Buck !!!
1974- great year to ABBA and Queen
I graduated in '74. it was probably one of if not "the" best year of my life. I had a job in the coal mine. I actually started the night we graduated. didn't have a summer vacation but I had a brand new car and watched most of the movies at the drive in. ours had excellent food. don't remember most of the commercials because I was either at work, asleep, or out ridin around partying and chasing all the women I could. wasn't all that successful but I tried real hard. appreciate the flash back. long live the 70's. thanks from an old hippie.
Thanks Buddy ! I hope my videos filled up some memories not captured by you back then. :) - JB
okay, who's the 2 idiots who didn't like 1974? c'mon fess up so we can hunt you down and force you to listen to bad disco music.
No worries...the world is fool of fools Daniel-San :)
Johnnyboy792 hands down the best put together retrospective of the past in pop culture. love all of these. Nostalgia is a big business for a reason, it tugs at your heart. Even the commercials seemed better even though its just nostalgia making us feel that way. You don't dwell to long in each segment but leave the viewer wanting Morse. Bravo man!! Tim using his wife's ipad
Thank you Sara. Many thanks !!!
74 had some of the best music...
still a few years before plastic soda bottles began to bury us all under mountains of garbage.
Thanks for the memories! I was 10 yrs old in 1974. Awesome time.
+Susan Alcazar And thank you too for watching Susan :) - JB
Me too! Great times!
I was in my mother's womb, till April 8th 1974
I was 60 years old.
I was ten too.We were summer kids of love in the 1970's
good memories on TV, I was 9 yrs old in NYC. Young Frankenstein, didn't see it till much later, maybe the mid-80s, awsome movie. OMG, and The Lords of Flatbush, Flatbush, Flatbush, fell in love with them. Happy Days, it was my life!
justme, I love your profile photo of a lovely flower.🌺🌺
These time capsules you put together are great! I miss the 70's.
Thank you Macdaddybill ! I'm working on 1970 right now... the last of the 70's decade... and it bums me out :(
Johnnyboy792 Please make more vids
you said it macdaddybill
tell me about it especially the music!
So do I. 😟
High hopes I had in 1974 , now it is 2021 . Just when there was a hope for peace .there was a few years of peace .
Ahhh, 1974. The year I graduated PHS. Worked at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. Became a freshman at Rutgers. My music brain must have been on "hyper-record" back then - I remember great songs by the Stylistics, Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods, The O-Jays, et al. I even went to a Nixon Resignation party!! (Barry Richmond, are you out here in UA-cam land?) This year is so indelibly etched in my memories - it was a time of change and growing up. Thanks Johnnyboy!!!
Thanks again Jeff !!!
I graduated that year too. Took my then boyfriend and the gang to Ferrell's in Houston and had the "Zoo" for his birthday! Married a guy from "Joisey" though three years later. 😂
50 years ago...what a year it was! The year of Richard Nixon and Watergate, All In The Family was the number one show on television, Hank Aaron makes baseball history, The Rumble In The Jungle, Elton John, the top grossing movies that year The Towering Inferno, The Godfather Part 2, Blazing Saddles, Death Wish, Chinatown, The Longest Yard, Earthquake,
Awesome year for sure !!!
I graduated Jr. High in June 1974 and had one of the best summers ever!
I was 12, I miss everything. 😑
1974, I was stationed at Camp LeJeune, NC, During that Spring & Summer there were several Streakers running around Camp LeJeune. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sgt.
Thank you for your service! SEMPER FI Sargent. (I didn't use sir, because you actually worked for a living!)
Thank you helping our family feel safe. Thank you for your service.
great job just getting out of high school was 17 . miss those days wish I can go back
I was 7 and moved from London to Los Angeles. Everything was so different and amazing. Best memories: Earthquake & Towering Inferno, Billy Don't Be a Hero, my Fonzie t-shirt, Evel Knievel, Big Wheels & banana seats, PM & the Wings, Night Gallery reruns, Universal Studios & Disneyland and my teacher talking about the new rock-band Kiss! Loved every minute of it. Thanks Calif. & Johnnyboy!
Your memories are the same as mine :):):)
I WAS BORN 1974 JUST LIKE THAT GOOD YEAR I AM Still ALIVE TODAY GROWS UP TO WOMAN FRIST IN MONTH JANUARY TANK SILL MOVIE COME AND ACTOR JOE FLYNN PASSAWAY
🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😿😿😿😭😭
Thanks so much for watching :):):)
Graduated from high school in 74. Best generation EVER!!
The year when Irwin Allen & Mel Brooks gave us the most memorable movies & TV gave us Kolchak: The Night Stalker (even for just a season)!
And Tom Baker had just become the 4th Doctor Who...I grew up in England watching BBC shows, mostly. Thank goodness for Star Trek syndication.
excellent vid bro but some of the stuff you feature here is actually from 73 or 75. still great.
i was only 6 years old in 74 my parents had recently divorced and my mom made us move all the time when it wasn't even necessary plus i had undiagnosed asperger's and whatnot so in many respects it was a very sad time be that as it may i saw damn near every one of these movies in a theater and do in fact remember most of these commercials and tv shows (even if i wasn't a regular watcher of them all). the 70's were a very dark decade in many respects but no doubt THE BEST decade for music that ever there was. even the commercial am pop radio hits were great back then. damn sure not the case now.
i also distinctly remember people in general were alot thinner than they are now. there were overweight and even obese people then too but nowhere near like you see now.
Having Nixon wave goodbye was for arts sake :)
I had been a kid in England (Air Force Brat plan) from 1970-1974, so your film and video collection was a geat way to fill in some gaps. Thank you.
I visited my brother in law and sister at Alconbury in '72. I enjoyed Lulu, Not to Mention Dudley Moore and Jason King on TV that summer. Nobody asked for my ID in the Officer's Club either.
@@terr777 I had many a meal there, with my family. I would have been about 7, in 72.
I never realized all those great movies came out that year. New favorite channel. Subscribed. Well done sir.
Thanks Chuck... more coming :)
I loved this video. thank you for all the memories. 74 was the year I was born. but, I still love all the old tv shows. I have a lot of the now n DVD. complete collections, Good Times,Sanford And Son, That's My Mama, and dramas like Barnaby Jones, Cannon, Medical center,The Rockford Files, Ironside, Maude, Mary Tyler Moore, The Bob Newhart Show,All in The Family,The Jeffersons. and so many more. I love them all.one again thanks for posting this. I loved it. please keep the videos coming.
+Bradley Willis Will do Brad ! Working on your memories of a 4 year old :) 1978 will be coming soon. Thanks so much - JB
The Jeffersons came out 1975
I remember a lot of stuff from 1974.
I don't know how you find all these videos but I remember just about all of them. The sixties and seventies were some of my best memories.
+Gregg Jordan I guess you can say i'm a hoarder Gregg lol. Thank you - JB

Wonderful!! I was turning 9 and remember all of this!!
Hi Elizabeth ! Thanks so much for watching. I have the entire 1970's available if you want to grow up again :) All the best to you :) - JB
You know, every time I see one of your videos from the past, it makes me want to buy a Delorean, put a flux capacitor in it, and take a trip back to my youth lol! Me & my wife, absolutely LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Another great video, covering another great year! 👌👍✌🏻😎
I try my best to take you there my friend :):):)
Cool! The peppy pupsi ad! I mean the Pepsi puppy ad!
It was a hoot when it aired back then !!!
Whatever your name is, " pupsi" was the right word for it the first time! 🐶🐾🥤
Ahh the fabulous Michael Landon and little house 🏡❤️️
💟🏡🧺🍎☕📺......and
that fabulous little family
show, Little House on the
Prairie
I love how O'conner gave a raspberry just like his character Archie Bunker would.
It was one of the best Midge :)
Sad how that's become kind of the norm for politics, referencing Archie-s, "he forgot to tell the truth." It was a great show.
BAD RONALD!!!!!! So glad you included this great cult classic!
You have to admit, the 70's TV movies were so good.
Great memory Angel !!!
Paul Bordelon Bad Ronald is available on DVD! CHECK out Amazon.
I was 10...Goodbye Yellow Brook Road changed my life. My brothers had the sheet music and played on the piano for days! (Mom wouldn’t let me listen to “All the Young Girls Love Alice”!)
Not in existence 😂 My younger big sister was born in this year! Love seeing this. Great job Johnny! 🙌❤
So long ago...very important year for me. Thank you for the stroll
Thank you Darth ! I hope it brought a smile :)
Another fine job Johnnyboy! I remember many of these. I like how you bring up obscure movies like Law and disorder and others. Streaking...by god it was all the rage then. Do that now and you get arrested. Do that in a sports stadium can get you banned for life. LOL Thanks again for posting I really enjoy your trips down memory lane.
+randy moyan I actually saw Law & Disorder in Oct of 74 Randy. I was 12 at the time but managed to get in with an older cousin of mine. I thought & still do it was an hilarious filled with laughter & tears, but it hasn't held up. There was only one printing of the DVD and it's going for 70 dollars on Amazon now. Luckily I grabbed it when it came out. Anyway thanks so much for watching. More coming down the road :)
I always thought streaking was stupid! Thank God it didn't last too long.
When David Niven saw that man streaking on the Oscars telecast and made his classic remark about the man "showing his shortcomings," he probably meant that the streaker was making a fool of himself. Unfortunately, many have interpreted Niven's words to mean that the naked man was revealing his small penis.
I turned 16 that year, loved college basketball & was thrilled when UCLA actually had a losing season, didn't even win the NCAA title that year (NC State won). Everything was Watergate, Watergate, Watergate, with Nixon resigning in August. We all saw it coming, he got himself in such a mess. Saw the Godfather II and thought it was great as the first one, also saw one of the best movies of all time, The Sting. Saw the Towering Inferno from the front row--the only seats left. Hank Aaron breaking the new HR record, the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, Loved listening to the radio: Seasons in the Sun, the Streak, Bennie & the Jets, Love's Theme, the Joker, Rock the Boat. Watching All in the Family, Sanford & Son, Rhoda, MTM Show, Carol Burnett, the Waltons, Good times. The IRA bombing Britain.
Thank you for watching Wendy.... you forgot about your drivers license :)
@@Johnnyboy792 I didn't get my license until I was 17.5 years old while everyone else was at the DMV the day they turned 16. I took driver's ed that year and hated it so much I was scared to drive for a long time.

Quinn Clegg - I remember when “Feel Like Makin Love” came out. Wow! What a time! I was 14
I started catching up on "Metal in the 1980's". Thanks for mentioning Rush, and the other groundbacking bands, of that time.
In spite of everything that was going on during that time,It was a great time to be alive. The 70’s and 80’s.
I graduated high school in 1974, as did some of the other commenters. What change and upheaval our country was going through! We were too young to really appreciate everything about the Viet Nam war, but we were coming of age and maybe a little too self-absorbed. Anyway, thanks for jogging our collective memory.
Thanks for tuning in :)
Don't know how ppl find the time to put these amazing wonderful video's together, but YOU are AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the great flashbacks and a few tears missing the past.
I was 5 that year, but I do remember you couldn’t turn on the TV or radio without hearing the names Richard Nixon and Patty Hearst
You can remember that at 5 .? Wow
Not to mention, Ted Bundy,
one of the scary parts of 1974
1974 was the year I was born into this mad mad mad mad world!
Thats why I made it :)
Great post, i really like all these you put together.Really fun to watch.
+max stax Thanks so much Max !!!
Still living in the middle of nowhere- getting fed up with it by now, 💝 Terry Jacks makes me want to cry. Good set of vids .
Every time I listen to Seasons in the Sun I cry. It reminds me of my brother who died back in 1991. I was born in 1961 and he was born in 1966, but we were tight as a brother and sister could be. I pray I get to be with him in spirit again some day. Anyway, I was 13 in 1974. I was a blooming teenager and I had a crush on Davy from the Monkeys. LoL
Just being born!!!!!!😜 And here I am!
Ah... a birthday video from me to you Queen B :) - JB
Yup! LOL I enjoyed looking back. It was very nice. Brought back tons of wonderful memories. :) Thank you
:)
YOU'RE JUST A YOUNGSTER! I was graduating from high school.
What a party year that must have been Larry !!!
i was 17. Oh the summer times spent in New Hampshire thanks to the Vartanian family. Best ever
My birthday is in 2 days. 1974!!!
I will consider this as a birthday gift.
Thank you.
Hellos from Los Angeles California!
That's why I did it for you :):):) Many thanks - JB
Johnnyboy792
Thank you Johnny Boy!!!!!!!
Many people falling out of buildings in 1974. The only thing I remember in this was the kid with the puppies. I was about his age and looked like him. It looked like fun...something of a first memory.
So hard not to remember that one :)
Aaron Anderson, the puppy clip is much better than the one with people falling out of skyscrapers.
@@staceyking7911 You are correct, but boys tend to like action scenes, horror, etc.
@@directscientific4550 I'll take action scenes vs. bloody, gory horror.🎬😎
1974 was a REAL ROUGH year for me. got laid off from GM in Flint Mi. late 1973. very tough time surviving for the next few years, let me tell you. I will never forget.
I hope things got better John :)
@@Johnnyboy792 thanks johnnyboy. they did eventually, 1976 got a job as a school custodian. it may not sound like much, but it paid a decent wage, and put me in line for a state pension when i retired.
John, I'm SO SORRY to learn you had a tough '74 and possibly missed out on a lot @ that time
@@staceyking7911 thanks for that, Stacey.
Time is very fast. In the blink of an eye it is 2016. Nice work.
So many memories!! thanks so much for posting this!
God I miss these days! Just a great time. Nam was almost over, but not for the boys who never came back, and while they were gone, fighting communists, America turned communist!
I was 4, and could walk around my little town, all by myself, and no one cared! After 8 hours of playing in the snow, my mother would force me in the house and NOW, I can barely stay outside in winter for 15 minutes...
Thank you for taking me back in time.....🥰....The year I graduated.....Keep up the great videos.....God bless...😊😊🙏💜
I was a couple of months old in 1974. It was an interesting time for me. I was unemployed, living with my parents and relying on them to take care of me. How times have changed because now I'm employed and I have kids of my own living with me and relying on me to take care of them. Somehow, I miss Watergate.
As it was once said... "It was the best of times... it was the worst of times". Truer words were never spoken. Thank you for watching :)
B Sharp, that event was interesting. I would love to read @ it partly to find out what happened while I was just waking up, for I was only
4 or 5 at the time.
EXCELLENT. THANK YOU!
And thank you too Liz... from John In Connecticut ! :)
l love these! I would love to see "memories of 1969".
+Edward Becerra Coming down the road Ed :) - JB
+Johnnyboy792 that would be excellent. I've watched all of your memories videos and have enjoyed the walk down memory lane.
I'm happy they touch a chord Ed . It brings me a great deal of pleasure. Thank you :)
The best SOUL MUSIC came out of 1974
Agreed :)
Was 6 or 7 depending on what month. I do remember much of this. . Wish you would do more retrospectives!
Did the whole 70's Eric... onto the 80's & 60's :)
I was in utero up until September 4 so I missed Nixon by about a month. I'm 6 days older than Ryan Phillippe, a couple weeks older than Jimmy Fallon and 2 months older than Leonardo DiCaprio. 1974 babies rock!!!!
Thanks Paula :)
Paula, SO DO '69 babies!
As I am one of them!😎☮️✌️🌺
You know you're getting old when you were a 10 yr old kid in 74 and remember most of this at 57 today.
58 myself :)
We are not getting older- just wider! What a timr yo be 10 years old!! Lol.
Oh man! 1974. I turned fourteen that summer. That was also the summer I "discovered" what real and true friendship meant. I commented on another video that I could write an entire book just about 1976. Well, the same is true for 1974. ...and 1975, etc.
I have been actually working on writing my life stories from the seventies. Along with my old journals from back then (Yes, they do still exist!) these videos are really helping pull me back into those times. I can't thank you enough for this amazing work you are doing. :)
Thanks NJP ! I also kept journals too... Im happy now that I wrote them down :)
NJP Vlogs -N- Stuff - me too! What a time to b a teen!!!’
hank aaron tied the home run record at cincinnati riverfront stadium,,,on april 4,1974.
just so happens that date was the date of the super outbreak of tornados throughout the middle USA.
aaron was being driven to the stadium with tornadoes touching down all over ohio/ky. cincy weather was DARK and windy.
aaron was in the middle of it all.
Thanks for the info Jeffrey :):):)
jeffrey mcfadden, it was on April 3rd of that year
I was in Fort Myers Middle School. The vice principal, Mr,. Gauthier, was Army vet who administered the licks for students who preferred a swat on the rear with a paddle instead of sitting for an hour in detention hall. Yes, we received corporal punishment in those days. What an honor it was to pickup his lunch tab in Matlacha years later one Veterans Day. I told him that my brother and I might have set the record for licks. He said he gave every one with love, which I thought was humorous. He lost a finger and a leg in Korea. They called him Pegleg, but he was truly an American hero. Kids can be so dumb....What an honor it was to know this man.
:)
I was born in 1974! :D
I hope you enjoyed your birthday video... from me to you :) - JB
