Girls in those days were more evolved emotionally, more beautiful and stylish, more appealing aesthetically....what a joy to behold, so refreshing and liberating to the spirit. They were not vulgar at all, just sweet, nice and groovy.
That wasn't how it was viewed at the time. It was seen as symptomatic of moral degeneration by a critical mass of people who's views were still broadly in line with people such as Mary Whitehouse. Your rose-tinted view of the world has somehow recast this as wholesome, when it's really nothing more than titilation set to dumbed-down music that's willfully antithetical to the highest cultural standards set by the 19th Century classical canon. Don't get me wrong: THIS is why I think TOTP was great. it stuck two fingers up to those values and by doing so forced people to defend them. Humanity is accelerated by conflict.
Me too, Susan, I graduated in 1970 too! Except for the 4 college kids being killed at Kent State, Ohio after Nixon ordered open fire carried out by America’s ROTC and the Vietnam War, it was a great time to be alive! The music we listened to will never be duplicated! ❤️🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🥁🎹🎺🎻
Right with you brother... better days by far even though the world was just as crazy! Social media narcissism ruined any chance of kids being that carefree now.
Wow, sounds like you're not together anymore,is it so? Me too ,I met my wife in high school in '67 ,we used to dance like that, and we're still together, 2 years ago we found some of our classmates and got together in our home ,and one of the girls had pictures from us in during two picnics she had organized, we scanned them for everyone, I couldn't believe seen myself so skinny and my wife long hair down to her waist our clothes were so stylish ,I'm 70 years old today, some of our classmates are no longer with us unfortunately.
I understand what you are saying, but I cannot help smiling at the awkwardness of the girl in the dress with the hideously large and rounded collar at approx. 0:56 sec mark.
Great days, TOTP on Thursday night, youth club on Friday night, no tattoo's, no fatties, just beautiful girls with legs that went on and on, what a time to be a teenager.
😇I used to have TOTP compilation albums, which I bought from Woolworths with my pocket money for about 50p, and they usually had one of the Pan's ladies on the cover, in a crochet top and boots, and not much else!🤣 Happy days!
Lonette whenever someone starting telling women they were oppressed and could do whatever they wanted and expect people to respect it. Feminism ruined everything. It is evil.
What makes you think it was any different in any other era? You weren't young in any other era so you have no grounds for comparison. It's being young that makes you blessed, not the decade you were young in
Very profound, but I've seen photos of previous generations and I've seen two (maybe even three) generations of youngsters grow up, and judging by the lard-arsed young tattooed ladies waddling around where I live I still think i saw the best. Would I like to be 17 again? Of course, but only if I could be 17 again in 1970.
Wow the girls dancing!, I love them! Plus the great rock! So many great menmories of muscle cars (Mopar Superbee, 70 Mach I Mstang, Camaro SS 396) and the party's (keggars + rock festivals) and great music! In Portland Oregon we used to (in the early 70's) race up downtown Portland on 6th Ave racing and cruising against other muscle cars. It was a time that I feel so lucky to having been apart of!
You mentioned Mopar Superbee. I have one of those. 1968 Dodge Coronet 440 bought by my mother in 1968. I acquired it in 1979. Still have it today. Medium Green, green vinyl top, dark green/light green interior and air conditioning,
I was only 5 years old back then but what I will say is the girls are 100 times better looking than today's freak shows They had normal healthy figures, normal lips. Normal breasts ,normal teeth and their own hair not extensions and no multiple tattoos What a shame a lot of girls and woman cannot appreciate natural beauty
You are absolutely right and virtually no tattoos, yet some critics have the nerve to slate this decade, saying what a bad immoral time it was. I'm glad that I was young during this time.
ROY MIDDLETON Sorry but your are wrong! Haven't you heard Savile used TOTP show to find sexual conquests! There is an interview with Francis Rossi of the Quo (who appeared on that show literally 100's of times) say Savile was having sex on the set. Also read Dan Davies about Savile! Glad to be of help! Don't mention it!
I wonder if any of these girls have seen this video. My guess is probably not. 50 years ago is a long time to hold on to an event that probably didn't make a significant change in their life. I hope at least one of them gets to see how good they looked in that era of their life.
@@AnnaD25 yes, do you believe it! I used to iron my hair too! I remember the smell of my hair burning making me sick! But it worked! Those were the days my friend!🥰❤️✌️☮️🕊

Muito clássico e época muito magnífica. Saudades eternas dessa linda geração. Tudo era maravilhoso. Aqui no Brasil isso era orgulho, satisfação e festa.
I was a sophomore at Newark (Ca.) High School in 1970. It was 12 yrs. ago when I found these lovely ladies living up here in Willits, Ca. still wearing tie-dye ..more elegantly than ever.
They kept looping certain sections but it's a great piece of history of that time. It's funny to see the contrast between the professional dancers and the pretty girls from the audience they picked. The girl in the centre seems scared to move (they probably told her to stand on this sport and DON'T MOVE'). My favourite is the girl in the white boots behind the bars on the right. She was a 10 for sure! :-)
I believe that same lady appears in two other TOTP scenes, once in a white minidress with black belt and another time in a black mini dress with white belt. She seems to get the most comments every time.
Great movement from a lot of the dancers, but most of them look like they need cheering up. Wonderful record for dancing to, with a title that says a lot, "Let's Work Together."
TOTP was always notorious for having miserable down-trodden looking audiences, especially the girls, who were constantly herded about like sheep from one part of the studio to another and instructed to dance. To me and my friends as teenage girls at the time, most of the dancers in the audience, even if pretty, appeared slightly zombiefied, while the professional dancers seemed unnaturally animated and sexualised. From our perspective then, TOTP, while annoying and not very cool, was still essential viewing since for a few years it was the ONLY pop music programme on TV where artists actually appeared to mime/fake perform their latest record.. which was better than nothing... Ready Steady Go when it came along on a rival channel was a much better show. More fun, more spontaneous, less fake, more hip!
Girls in those days were more evolved emotionally, more beautiful and stylish, more appealing aesthetically....what a joy to behold, so refreshing and liberating to the spirit. They were not vulgar at all, just sweet, nice and groovy.

Freestyle was the order of the day in the late 1960's/early 1970's, as far as dancing was concerned.
Wow absolutely beautiful ladies
Weren't they beautiful , Thank you that they ever happened 🌹
And what a song.....
When i will die, that’s where i want to go. The good old days.
Genuine beauty is not having plastic inserts, and lots of make up, Its just natural, and these ladies have it in abundance!
Absolutely! Great comment.
