Who’s listening in 2024” love this song 🎵 🎤🎤🎸🎸😊
April 2024😊
Me !
No pitch correction here..
I am! Been going through UA-cam looking for live performances of this track. Donny Baldwin is on drums and he's still banging on the skins with Jefferson Starship in 2024. Wanted to see his performance on this song.
I'm now it's absolutely beautiful
Anyone fooling around in 2024?
I think 1976 was a great year to fool around.
Nobody is, not even one person.
Zero people
We played this killer song in my 70s band in Denver, b3 Hammond, harmonies still lifts my soul while listening.
I'm fooling around....but prefer Elvin Bishops album on Fillmore record label Live with the Pointer Sisters...love this album..on my 2nd copy which I paid dearly for.
I was 16 in July of 77 and met my husband. He was 26. We had 41 years together before I lost him 5 years ago. My one and only love.
I am so so sorry!
🙌🏿🤎🙌🏿 "77 I was 2 but I heard 🤎
My condolences.
Sorry Lilly 😢
I’m feeling your love story… I had a very similar & it’s been 6 years since my guy passed. It’s not easy but you go on watching videos❤️
i miss wolfman jack. he and casey kasem were the two most recognizable dj voices of my generation.
Great memories !
Thank you!
My dad used to do wolfman jacks voice when I was little 😂
I was in a theme cruise, 50's-60's music and Wolfman Jack was one of the performers--what a fun cruise
We all miss them. Pure music 🎶 🎵 & entertainment tv & emotion .
I want to go back to 1977 SO BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life and America sure didn't SUCK back then !
you can check out any time you want, but you cant never leave.
Love this song. The year my life turned around!
Can you pick me up on your way back there?
@@barbaranowman8031 Sure, no problem 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hell yeah, or at least I'd like to be😂
3 things absent in today's music: real singing, real playing and real emotion.
The kids still boogie, my fellow boomer-ang. Fact is, we still have these classics for posterity, and the kids love them. I dare them to make music today like Mozart or Bach, now that would be different..
Stop being an old man yelling at clouds and try listening to modern music, you’ll find there’s still plenty good out there. And it involves real singing, real playing, and real emotion to boot.
So true unfortunately
Never a more true and appropriate statement. Thank you. I know our music was far different than our parents, but it seems there is no music anymore.
@@warrenmiller6220 there is some. Maybe not as much. Especially because of computers and other things that sway people away from actually learning a real instrument now.
...Also,.. the music industry doesn't seem to care about ""Real Bands" like they used to. They are too busy pushing these idiots that can't play music, they just mumble/rap, or sing(with autotune) songs written in a basement by some old fat bald man. The good old days are gone in the industry. Hopefully someday it will come back..!!!
2024. This music is music when music was music. People growing up in the 2000s have ZERO clue.
Micky Thomas, later of Jefferson Starship. What a voice!!!
For sure in the top 5,in the last 6 decades,of pop,rock music!!
Incredible voice
I saw Jefferson Airplane in a small concert in Eugene. I think the Hult.
They were a featured band at Disneyland late 70’s. We had no clue, then they played this song. It was a Wow moment. Great performance.
Expecting (And mocking Disney) to see a Partridge family type band and prime Mickey Thomas shows up. We had a serious WTF moment 3 18 yr olds used to going to Ozzy, Tull, Nugent, got pleasantly rocked.
I'm almost 60. We were so lucky to have lived during the Golden Age of Rock/Pop.
oh my god, just having this conversation with my wife about this Red. I too am almost 60. we grew up in the best decade
I’m 64 and you’re right being part of some of the best musical artists
60 here and still listening every day to the music of the 70’s. I never grow tired of the music. Look at the albums that came out in 1975, 1976 and 1977. What an unbelievable time to be alive!
Truth. I don't even care I have wrinkles, swear....proud to be my generation. We need to be less in the shadows, and up front being amazing.
62 here, and forever grateful for having been born when I was!
This is one of those tunes, that never goes out of style.
Listening in April of 2024 ❤
Me too!
Me three !
Yep
Yup
Yep!
Listening since 1977! I was 21 years old when this song came out, and it was my wife and my favorite song, because, you see, we both fooled around and fell in love!! Still together 47 years later, and still in love, with Jesus as the Head of our household!!
Amen bro n may God bless yall n give ya many more 🙏
So Awesome! Beautiful ✌️🌹💞💯🥰
Amen
Congratulations! Great testament to a bygone era. Today people just hit it and quit it 😔
AMEN JESUS IS LORD OVER ALL AND STILL IN CONTROL .
Mickey Thomas one of the very best voices of my (boomer) generation.
Us Gen Xer's were also listening.
And pant suits and boobs
Soooo good soooo smooth
Is He From Jefferson Airplane /Starship?😮
His range is phenomenal
Even though I’m considered over the hill now, I would not change growing up with 70’s music. I just don’t think anything compares to the raw talent and energy that was out there at that time.
I’m older to and I agree.
100% agree
I totally agree. Yes, I'm one of the older generation.
Right there with you - graduated HS in 1977.
Ditto clear clean music…😊😊
I'm going to be 70 years old this summer and I love this song ❤❤
65 this September - this was music back in the day...I want a do-over!
Hey dear,I couldn’t help but notice your captivating smile from across the room. It would be a shame to let this moment slip away without saying hello 👋
75 in Aug. I was there.
me too
Loving this too! @63
Still listening in 2024, must of been in the right place @ the right time.
Most of us listening to this ARE over the hill.lol...
However,we got to experience the greatest musical era ever.😉
There will never be another like it!
Why is it that the hill is longer on the climbing side than the downhill side?
❤
So grateful for our era
In 1977 I was 18 and living crazy myself! In 1980 I met and married the girl of my dreams and here we are 44 years later! I love you Linda sweetie 😘
God Bless you and your wife!
Still singing into my hairbrush in 2024
Me too! @age68!
i usta skate (roller) to this at "hot wheels"
Soon to be 74. Listening at 4:52 AM. Listening to better times. It happens.
Same age! Same story! 😅😅😂😂
Was there ever such a time? Makes me want to sob! What a shit-show we live in now!
I feel truly blessed and am eternally grateful to have been born in 1960 and grown up with all this great music in our lives and forever in our hearts.
may 1960 here
Same here. It sucks that now I'm 63, but we did have the best music!
June 9, 1960 here.
12/1964 the best the very best
What a fabulous song to be listening to in bed at 2am in the morning March 31st 2024. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for watching 🍺
I’m here too
Doing the same thing 😀
Same 🎶🎼🎸🎹🎤🎧
2:56 am
Mickey Thomas just absolutely Nailed this Song……that Tone!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🙏🎤
I was 8 yrs old when this song was on the radio. I used to sing I fooled around and fell in mud.
And I did......Good times.
😂😂🎉
That’s hysterical! Innocent times…😂😂😂
I still sing it that way, at age 42😂
Our kids used to sing "SQUIRRELS, SQUIRRELS, SQUIRRELS!!" to "Girls, Girls, Girls." We didn't have the heart to tell them they had it wrong! It was too funny!
What a voice. Live, no auto tune just pure talent.
Brings back memories, I was a runaround guy back in the day.....all I cared about was myself....until....met my dear wife and best friend Cheri.....love knew no boundaries toward my love for her....she taught me so much the short years we were together. It's been a year now since she joined Heavens garden and I miss her more and more each day ....miss you honey
That's a beautiful elegy and I empathize with you on the passing of your wife and friend.
I get it too!
My best to you!!
Thank you.....means alot....hug your loved ones and let them know....
To have God in the middle of your relationship is the best kind of relationship. I’m very sorry for your loss, but happy that you had the experience of one of Gods greatest joys .. true love.
Thank you....I'm glad the man upstairs allowed his angel to spend some of her precious life with me......I know I'm being selfish and wishing she was still by my side but in the greater scheme of life I know he has a bigger plan and I know deep in my heart she still is by my side......we will be together again.....God bless you and stay safe
April 2024 - listening to some of the best music ever to grace the airways
This is the only way we're ever going back in time.
Delorean
@@jackieguccione94 A Delorean with a “Rocks”-capacitor.
Im liking it, but i was born in the early 90’s. I love this song, its def a vibe lol
Or in the “Back to the Future” movies and novels. I’m reading a book 📕 now where they go back, and forward, in time.
I can't believe Reni Slais was given no credit for this. She has an amazing voice too.
Can't keep my eyes off her. She really belted out her part. Sexy !
No kiddin'!
Hey, thanks for this comment. I Googled her and found she does the AMAZING vocals on "Running on Empty" - it's my absolute favorite part of the song.
Her background vocals melded so beautifully with Mickey's. Her voice made this gem that much greater! A great rendition!!
Dá nem pra ouvir ela aí, sabichão
One of the best songs ever written !!! One of the Best !!! I can say it today 5/5/ 2024 ,a Salvadorean from Los Angeles CA.
Welcome to America
I've been in America since 1979 !!@@stephenhebda4743
1977 was probably my favorite year on the planet. There was a lot of fooling around and falling in love back then.
1977 reminds me of LS plane crash
Me too. My wife and I met in April of '77 at Club 68 in Lebanon, Ky where the band I was in (Jeremiah Fox) was playing. We're still married (45 years now), still in love and I'm still playing music which wouldn't be happening without her support.
@@randallcolvin6006bless ya both
I was 8 Gwynn but I looked 9. easy
Singers of today can't sing without autotune it seems. Plus the screaming is pure torture.
Mickey Thomas is one of the most underrated vocalists ever!
One of the most incredible voices in rock history
Definitely underrated
Mickey Thomas is the vocalist.
If you don't like this song your wrong
I'm 63 and remember this song so well. It's just a classic, like The Midnight Special.
I called in to Wolfman Jack back in the day . Z generation will never get it .
Awesome. Best late night gig ever.
The Wolfman years were the best!
Those were the days my friend..........those were the days.
Yes, they were!!!!!!!
We thought they'd never end.
🥰
@jimandkwesi
Hits those notes with ease, the '70's were some wild times.
Mickey Thomas nailing this tune. Certainly one of the great voices in rock history.
I’ll be 65 in a couple months. What a joy this video is ❤️
Hey dear,I couldn’t help but notice your captivating smile from across the room. It would be a shame to let this moment slip away without saying hello 👋
Still loving this song in 2024
I love listening to Wolfman Jack as a kid late at night!
Mickey cut his teeth on Motown, Atlantic, and Stax! Of course he has soul!
Mickey Thomas between 1976 and 1989 had twelve top 40 hits...three of them #1 hits. And NONE of them are under his own name, but as lead singer of the Elvin Bishop Group (1), Jefferson Starship (5), and Starship (6, 3 at #1). His is one of the all-time biggest clandestine careers in Rock music history. And it all began right here with this southern rock classic.
Couldn't have said that better. I always read a lot of the comments before I throw my 2 cents into the ring.
And you ask the average everyday person who Mickey Thomas is and they have no clue. Kinda sad
A georgia kid like Elvis. Sang in choir,church. Had Elvis easily with high and long notes?
Thank for the info,interesting!!
Mickey had pipes of gold.
For sure!
STILL DOES EVEN BETTER ! Just saw him booked him at my venue and he is also the NICEST SWEETEST PERSON EVER!
Has.
that man could sing with the best of em there ain’t no limits to that man’s voice!
This is real music not like today
❤
I agree love this song
So true.No cussing,mentioning of private parts, killing.Just plane clean music to enjoy.
This makes me appreciate my age instead of always hating getting older as i was 13 yrs in 1977 enjoying great music and memories, a simple time i never would have experienced!! Thank you ❤
I was 13 in 1977 too! We had the best music!
I was 10!!!
I was 14 yrs old in 77 love this song
Loveeeeee this dong and his voice, looks, all of it! What a grt song! Music fantastic and his bouce one of the best ever in the music world!❤
Yup!
I'm 76, and have always loved this song. Brings back memories
And then Mickey became the lead voice of Jefferson Starship. Perfect pitch without any auto tune
I'm so glad I came across this! I was roadie/driver for Mickey when it was Mickey Thomas Starship. My buddy Jeff was his guitar player.. same guy who played with Mickey on the Howard Stern show. Godamn that guy can sing. What a soulful bluesy white dude. When he was warming up backstage it was LOUD. Really talented. Did a couple of shows with Edgar Winter that tour 😛 Late 80s
I was discharged from the military in 1977, this song was and is still fantastic.

This was one if the songs I listen to as I went off to Boot Camp in 1977.
@@rik4369I miss those days!
Seriously still love this song. In 2024.🎸🎸✌️🖤😋
A young Mickey Thomas only beginning to show his potential.
To this day in 2024, still one of my favorite songs ever. Mickey freaking thomas
Can he sing or what.....
After all these years I still love this song ! 70's was a great time to be a teenager
It so was...brings a tear to my eye reminiscing ...reminds me of that song...Little Rover Band...circa 1978.
This music can;t be denied.The rap and hip hop music can never compete with this MUSIC.
The 70s were the best!
Iam here in 2024. I guess I could be so lucky to “fool around and fall in love”. Just not on my radar or in my head space right now. But,I love and absolutely “Love” the music from the 70, 80, 90’s
Almost every tv commercial or hollywood movie you see today that has any music in it is from 1970's just shows how great the 70's were compared to the music of today.
I met Elvin Bishop in 78. Very nice and genuine guy, I was impressed. Micky Thomas, what a great singer, for the Jefferson Starship as well. "Jane, Jane, Jane"
Quite possibly, best song ever written. Sure feels like it.
Get it BABYDOLL..YOURE STILL AMAZING !!!!💋🥰😎🔥😬🔥😎🥰
Clap for the wolfman!!!
Never really got his due but he made the most of it and always had a HUGE following despite not being all over the radio waves. He was one of the hardest working musicians, live-performers who ever graced a stage. God Bless Elvin Bishop!
Amen brother an sister an amengj amen❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😮😮😮🎉❤😂😢😅😅😊😊🎉❤😂🎉😮😅😅😊😮
Never got his due but made it too amen gj amen ❤😂😂😂😂❤😂I ❤😂😂🎉😢😂😂🎉😊😊
I tell you, the ‘70s have some of the great songs and singers.
...and the Grammy for sexiest song in 1977 goes to Elvin who Fooled Around and Fell in Love...Who hasn't heard this mindblowing love song when they were a teenager and looking to get some.......................
His voice is one of THE best!
Mickey Thomas can SING!!!
The background singer was really feeling it! What a great song. Miss the 70s.
I was thinking the same thing.
Me too lol would like to know who she is
I think that is Reni Slais
She pays him NO mind…
Just amazing! I wish our young would listen to some of this heavenly music. Not the killing rap crap. One thing about being old; I can go to UA-cam and listen to the joyful notes of my adolescent years. Thank you UA-cam and those who post. I am forever grateful!
one other "thing about being old" is that you could alternately have an open mind and listen to more music (new and old) and appreciate this particular song/artist while still also appreciating particular new hip-hop/rap artists/songs without being a narrow minded boomer fart who dismisses a generation's music tastes and lumps an entire musical genre together thanks to a biased mindset that can't see beyond longing for your bygone "adolescent years....heavenly music" - There's great new hip-hop just like there's great classic rock. You don't have to hate one to show love for another!
*laughs in ‘this generation heard this song in the soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy 10 years ago’*
Maybe if you weren’t stuck in 1975 you might know that.
I first saw Elvin Bishop way back in 1966 at the Cafe Wha in Greenwich Village, There was a "blues bag" -- Muddy Waters, Richie Havens, and others. Bishop was playing elsewhere with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. At the end of the show, he came in to join in a jam session. The charisma was immediately evident. The only song that I remember from that was Watermelon Man.
GREAT SONG,GREAT PERFORMANCE, THATS THE WAY ITS DONE. YOU JUST DONT HEAR, OR SEE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE.....
The memories I have of this song, that can not be mentioned here…..😮
Here in April 2024 … Love real live raw music!! Awesome song ❤️❤️
I'm 52 and I fell in love with this song about 3 years ago
How many times I snuck into the living room and watched the Midnight Special after my parents went to bed!!!!! Loved my teens, early 20s. The music was authentic!!!!!!!!
Elvin's best song with incredible vocals by Mickey Thomas and an awesome guitar solo by Mr Bishop himself. Thanks to the Guardians of the Galaxy this song now has several million new fans!! Great Great rock and soul!!
I was 15 back in 77 and we were all in love with Farrah!
How True how true 🎯
Absolutely!!
Love those nipples
Had her poster on my wall
@evpilot
I pray that what I'm learning now can't be true! It makes me look at celebrities and entertainment in a completely different light. Truth is farrrrrr stranger than fiction!
I just couldnt play this record enough when I was 12-13yrs old. I wanted it full blast as I loved the guitar work. My brother loved guitars and so I had to too. Thin Lizzy, Fleetwood Mac and so many other bands in the 70s that gave us so much pleasure, but I expanded by love to more than just rock. This record never left my side as it was a great song as well as great musicians. Im 60 now and still love to play it full blast. xxx
Great song. Great for Lovers 💏. Vocals are supreme
Music when Music was Music!!! ❤
This is proof that the blues belongs to everyone😅😅😎
OMG, he was a looker! Very impressive.
That is one of the best songs ever written(in my opinion) so melodic and beautifully sung. great guitar solo too
Tell me that you dont sing along to that song everytime it comes on the radio? It like the pinnacle of great singing. if you can sing that song note for note, you are very talented.
I enjoyed watching WOLFMAN JACK.... MANY years back 😂
Texas Nana
Me too, Indianapolis nana ❤️👍
Mickey has such talent!
Fooled around and fell in love with this song a long time ago, never looked back
Just imagine ,my friends ,for one second……what if music nowadays was anywhere near as good as this……
I so agree with you
There are those who believe that analog music captured the heart and soul of rock. Seems I heard Joe Walsh say digital killed music. The people should chat about that
Gonna preface this by saying I think 1976 is the best year in the history of music, bar none.
That being said, Christ I am so fucking tired of comments like this. There is plenty of good music-plenty of good rock music-out there if you just choose to look for it. And a lot of it is played at a skill level that dwarfs what people were doing in the 1970s.
There is good music out there, but you all would rather sound like your parents saying that rock and roll noise is just crap being played by people with no talent instead of appreciating all music, regardless of the year of origin.
And hells, this song was featured in the OST of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so the younger generation is actually more aware of your music than you are of theirs.
Boy! Do I have a story behind this song! I was a bartender in 76 at the Silver Moon.I've got some stories to tell, surrounding this song!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
A great tune forever. One of the biggest differences was they were confident in their talented voices and not in just focusing on exposing fashion styles. Who don't love some T&A but you actually listened to their singing without the paper thin distractions.
I owned a club called Whiskers in Tulsa Ok in 77 and had Elvin Bishop. Mickey sang this song it brought the house down!!!!! Elvin was from Tulsa and what a great guy!!!
Oh now that's interesting. I lived very close to Whisker's. You were right by Frank's Bodacious BBQ (as I recall), Oertle's, and the Mahu Mansion. I was just underage enough that I couldn't get in, but my recently graduated friends who could get in would tell me about it. You guys were legendary in Tulsa.
@@nixworld767 Whiskers was so much of my memories then opened a country place Tulsa City Limits. i didn't care so much for country BUT money can change your mind!!!!LOL
Mickey Thomas sure has a great voice!! I have always loved this song
Never realized he had such a great voice without studio changes!! He really was good!!
Wow !!!
The song put Elvin Bishop on the map for a second!
Not enough love
And Mickey for a good while longer
Elvin is in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Blues Hall of Fame. Last recording was 2020.
One of the greatest vocal performances in popular music.
I’m so lucky to have been alive to experience the music back then! Todays music has completely went downhill it’s completely worthless in my opinion and has no coherent message!
Haha, great comment and yes we all should be fooling around and falling in love! What a beautiful world if we all loved each other more ❤
Elvin great guitarist and Mickey Thomas great vocalist !
80s baby here- but grew up listening 60s and 70s music. My dad still has his original turn table and records in the original milk crates from the 70s...this song brings me to a hot summer 70s day just hanging out with friends...and I wasn't even there!!!!
