Those of us who were there can only know the sunny days, the fun by the pool, or the days at the beach with our friends. A time of innocence. Thank you Fred!
I remember every one of these songs from when they were first released. God I miss this period of time. Life was far from perfect but I would gladly give up all the technology I enjoy today if I could go back in time.
Thanks for putting these clips from the past together. It’s so great to go back in time like this..even if it’s for a brief moment especially now in 2022 with so much bad news surrounding us. We need to remember these oldies but goodies every now and then to remember the good times of our youth. ❤️🙏🏻✨🦋🌸🌼🌻
I'm so damn lost in the 70's... I don't only know all of these songs.. I have them. My kids, and grandkids make fun of it, but when their friends come over... they listen to my music. Long live the 70's music.
I love how you play more than two bloody chords of each song, gives us some time to remember and enjoy the songs, and the memories. Keep up the good work, God bless buddy
Thanks for putting together this video of our youth. Just remembering how different life was back then. I could put on a bit of makeup , patched jeans and a smock top to be stylish. No plastic surgery or three hours of makeup or expensive clothes, just jeans to be in the hip crowd. The music was about love and relationships. Thanks for the mental vacation. I wish it could be the same today . So much has changed. Thanks for the flashback.👖💞❤💜❤💜
I'm 60 and know it because all these songs sound good. Some are surely better than others but no real stinkers. Good catchy pop songs. I miss simpler music on the radio. Thanks for posting this!
In ‘68 Mike Pinera and The blues Image were the house band at THEE IMAGE on Miami Beach, I was 16, it cost a dollar to get in, man I saw a lot of rock groups there too many to list. In 2003 I had the opportunity to see Mike again on a tour with the drummer from Rare Earth, the bass from Cannibal and the Headhunters and the organist from Sugarloaf , what a fantastic concert!!!
WOW, what ultra-rare footage from that era and thanks for sharing! I remember all these songs well when I was in my final two years of high school. Some of these groups were one-hit wonders while others had more than one hit. OMG, what a MUCH different world back then. Yah, it was far from perfect but I would give anything to go back to this time in my life with this music.
"Hold Your Head Up" and "Brandy" take me immediately back to the EM Club (enlisted man) at the Naval Station in Orlando Florida. I was attending Class "A" school after graduating Navy boot camp. This was late summer 1972. Eating their cheeseburgers and drinking beer while listening to the juke box was a nightly routine I'll never forget. Little did I know that by November 72 I would be sitting off the coast of North Vietnam but that's a whole different story. Thanks for the memories.
Turned 20 in 1970. My 20's decade. Best years ever. Denim, platform shoes, flared jeans, halter tops, floaty long dresses, mini skirts more embroidered denim, long hair and fun, lots of it . Oh yeah.
My mom turned 21 in 1970, though she passed over a decade ago now she also said it was her favorite time. Kinda hurt to hear all her favorite times were before I was born, lol, but I get it. Things went a bit downhill in relationships with men and her and my stepdad was worse than us being alone. We never got to get to that point you sit and talk about all these old stories. She wasn't the most open in that way, but tried to be. If you saw a picture of her back then you would have thought she was a model. Naturally beautiful
Read your 1970 comment of those fashions you wore and the ladys usually wore the hair DOWN like PEGGY LIPTON of that MOD SQUAD tv series!! And the heavy look was in by SETEMBER 1970 for flare pants/scarves with the gold or silver ring/wider MOODY BLUES type lapels/crushed swede coats/mens hairstyles swept sideways/cars started getting the SQUARED look with BIG ROLLS ROYCE GRILLES/MASSIVE BUMPERS/ALUMINUM FRAMED HEADLIGHTS/OPER WINDOWS/SIDE MARKER LAMPS/TAILLIGHTS IN THE BUMPERS!!!!! Music trends of 1969 tru 1972 brought us the CANADIAN INVASION: ANN MURRAY/GORDON LIGHTFOOT/BLOOD SWEAT TEARS/GUESS WHO as well as the DUTCH INVASION: SHOCKING BLUE/TEE SET/MOUTH AND McNEAL** and those songs of a spiritual likeness: *1970 UNITED WE STAND/EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL/REACH OUT AND TOUCH/UP THE LADDER TO THE ROOF/LAY DOWN CANDLES IN THE RAIN/MY SWEET LORD/WAR!!/SPIRIT IN THE SKY/HEAVEN HELP US ALL/WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES *1969 IN THE GHETTO/IN THE YEAR 2525/LOVE CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY/AQUARIOUS/WHEN I DIE/HOLLY HOLY/GAMES PEOPLE PLAY. *1971 SIGNS/BRING THE BOYS HOME/TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS/STOP THE WAR NOW!!/PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND/INNER CITY BLUES/WON,T GET FOOLED AGAIN!!
As a teenager in the 60s and 70s I loved the music and still do, it's really all I listen to. Hearing some of these tunes I haven't heard in many yrs brought back some memories. I really miss the style of that music that is missing in todays music, My daughters always said they wish they were born during that era, the music, the clothes etc, I am really glad I was a part of the times, it was different and for the most part I never grew out of it. Funny thing is, even my teenage grandchildren and adult grandchildren love the times I grew up in and they really like to hear about my stories of those times ( some they didn't hear about ), all I can say to them it was magical.
I already have almost all of these on my 70's playlist. Glad to see that so many still remember these great groups. Thanks for keeping the music alive. This music transports me back to my childhood and teenage years.
Our high school marching band played "Vehicle", "25 or 6 to 4" and tons of other such tunes. We had the coolest band director that ever lived. RIP, Mr. Lupidi.
I'm late to the party but I guess better late than never. Thank you so much for putting this and other compilations together. Hearing these tunes and remembering what I was doing when they were popular brings back great memories. At times I get a little misty-eyed as I do miss them.
I can't tell you how many bands played for their fans from a rocky , wet sea shore back in the seventies! They risked so much just for our amusement! I am forever grateful for them to risk themselves for my admiration !! Please, give them a ovation having listening and watching these heroic people!!!
I miss the songs of the 70's. At least you could sing along with them, dance to them, understand the words and people had talent and could actually sing, not depend on computers and synthesizers for fake vocal sounds. You could play them in front of your parents without fearing foul language. There were love songs, songs about peace and fast cars. Harmony and blend was the mainstay of the success of each song. Rap was crap (and still is). We kept our pants pulled up, dressed to the nines for our dates and treated them like ladies.
Thank you for telling the truth about our music of the past in which I still listen to today on my devices like my iPhone for example. You are right Rap has become CRAP because of the lack of REAL talent. Some rap that is good is from 1979 to 1993. After 1993, the RAP music is NOw music that I can’t understand and will NOT relate myself to. Since that is said I LOVED the video it brung back great memories. Get some more of these videos. Thank You.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good songs or artists today, but they sure as heck aren’t mainstream top 40’s. WAP is the most disgusting thing ever. I do mean ever. Beth Hart is amazing. Joe Bonamassa. Chris Stapleton is beyond talented and I don’t happen to be a huge country fan. I like individual songs but it isn’t my main genre. Of course Chris crosses over to blues. Rap isn’t my thing. I have heard individual songs that were good. Overall, I just don’t get into it. I like songs that are deep. That are poetry in song. I like songs that tell stories. If it’s the typical music of today it’s about booties, boobs, kitties, dope, money, and witches with a B. That doesn’t make me feel anything but nauseous. It doesn’t inspire anything but a headache. It doesn’t instill a desire to dance, it instills a desire to turn off the radio. Everyone reminisces over their childhood and the good old days. I can honestly say ANY period of time in history (depending on individual circumstances obviously) would be better than the present. I don’t see anything good coming at us. I believe we’re in the decline of human existence. God is forbidden if it’s the one true God. Everyone else’s god is good for consumption including children in public schools. Scientific “belief” (aka faith aka religion) is sufficient for instances where science hasn’t even proven something, yet actual science is forbidden in favor of acceptance. Right is left, black is white, up is down, and good is bad. Bad is absolutely now good. I do miss “the good old days”. I didn’t hate my neighbor. We were striving for a society that didn’t see color, only content of character. Was it perfect? No. Did we fail? Of course. Was it a darn site better than this hell we’re living in today? You bet. Good luck. Stay safe. God bless America
Actually you are quite wrong there were synthesizers in the early 1970s. Italian genius producer Giorgio Moroder (of Donna Summer fame) was one of the first to use synths in such hits as "Son Of My Father" and "Good Grief Christina" both were big UK top 10 hits. And then of course synths were a huge part of the 80s synth pop era. I love synthesizers!
Argent is still alive and well as "The Zombies" with their founder, Rod Argent, and vocalist, Rod Blunstone, touring the US and Europe. "The Zombies" are up for the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And Russ Ballard, of the Argents, had his own solo hits like Voices, in the 80s, plus other bands had hits with his songs, like America's hit, You Can Do Magic.
I love the Zombies. Got to see them in concert in my senior years about 5 years ago in a theater near Beverly Hills CA. It was a real treat. They even played Argent’s “Hold your head up”❣️⭐️
Frank Figueroa I feel the same way those were the days everything was awesome exspeicaly the cars and music nowadays everything sucks the music what they call music , the cars they all look the same and all the electronic bull crap, jobs are all corporate America were they treat you like slaves instead of employees that they appreciate, and the women all look and act like freaks but think they are so hot and think they are better than anyone and over 90 percent of them are way over weight I could go on and on but you know what I mean The 70s rocked!!!
2nd place won't be easy due to tough challenge from Cardiff and Fulham; Need to be a bit more lethal up front. Could imagine play - offs going horribly wrong!
Thank you Fred for this one. I was 8 years old in 1970 and it really brings back some great memories. Don't want to appear superficial and I'm not talking about 1970's style but this is back in the day when many musicians could be a little awkward in their physical appearance. Once the MTV moon man showed up on cable the swing from substance and talent to style and image began.
MTV needs to be buried in a Pauper's Field. They are SUCH A JOKE now. They shouldn't -- EVEN -- be operating with the lie called music tv. It should be re-named. BSRTV. BULL SHIT REALITY TV.
I've got 'em all! 45 records...K-Tel & Ronco LP records. The 1970's HAD a to of great tunes. I enjoyed them greatly as I went from 19 ~ 29. Many of these tunes had "special meanings" in the places, people, and events I went through.
Great job Fred, that was a great selection of great songs with bands that will live on forever, even if they are not performing today. What I always loved about those songs was it always made me feel good and happy. It would pick your spirits up and it was great to dance to. Unfortunately, music isn't even music any more. Those rap songs talk of violence and hatred. No wonder our youth is so disillusioned today.
Real singers and talented musicians, no phoniness. Authentic real music! The 60's and 70's were awesomeness. Talent galore!!!! I could listen to this stuff all the time!
Jigsaw - SkyHigh...Wow, Thank you for pulling this all together. Tons of memories wrapped up in those songs. Isn't it amazing, even though the artist's career is a fleeting moment in time...The MUSIC will live forever.
Grazing in the grass was the bomb back then . Listening to this music conjures so many images in my head of what life was like back then. Great memories that can never be matched by today's music. Millennials are being robbed of great music and memories related to it.
I used to have the single, "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace which I think was their bigger hit. Dave Edmunds had a string of popular songs, through the 70s into the 80s, I believe and also a nice run with Nick Lowe when they formed Rockpile. I think people either knew who he was or they didn't
Paper Lace had a number one hit with the "The Night Chicago Died ". They were the first to record "Billy Don't Be A Hero " a number one in the UK but only number #96 in the hot 100. And then of "Billy" was covered by USA pop group Bo Donaldson and The Heywood's and they hit number one here in the usa kind of ironic. Bo Donaldson had no UK chart hits.
I had flashbacks of platform shoes & backless dresses & halter tops. My sons think🎵🎶 70's music is lame. I explained to them it's all about dancing & feeling good. They should get with the program🎤👣
I'm with your sons on the disco part of the 1970's. However, there was some industrial strength rock & roll too. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bowie, Heart, Eagles, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc., etc. The 70's was rockin' as long as you didn't give a shit about dancing. None of my friends went to discos or wore platform shoes. We considered those people musical sell-outs, like the Rolling Stones.
@@lesschoenberger3070 Whoa! I saw Blues Image live at Fillmore West in1970 w/Kent Henry on lead.The whole Santana band came up and jammed with them on stage.That was one great show.Kent Henry :What a monster on guitar....and Joe Lala on drums....Sorry to hear they have passed away....
Thank you for doing this. The sound doesn't bother me - after all those years of listening to homemade cassettes off the radio , I'm back in my bedroom at my parents house! I can almost smell the tigress perfume!
In 1976 the bicentennial year at Six Flags Over Texas I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders perform Still the One b y Orleans. They nailed it! Long Live Paul Revere and the Raiders 1960 - 2014 54 years of rocking insanity. Howdy from Dallas Texas
If you notice, the male singer at 3:35 (Brotherhood of man), and at 11:33 (Edison lighthouse) are the same person. That is Tony Burrows. He was a prolific studio musician(singer) in the 70"s. He also had top ten hits with White Plains( My baby loves lovin"), ThePipkins (Gimee dat ding-the gravelly voice), and First Class (Beach Baby). If these don"t ring a bell, google them. I'm sure if you are around my age (61) you'll recognize the songs. Burrows was quite the talent back then.
Oh, man Greg I remember.....Beach Baby, Beach Baby, there on the sand From July to the end of September... And Fred, Strong the nostalgia is with this video, hmmm. :-)
Thank You for the Posting! I didn't realize what great hits were out there. You did an amazing job putting this video together and documenting it well on UA-cam :)
Singer Russ Ballard was a prolific song writer who wrote songs for others. 3 Dog Night "Liar", Kiss "God Gave Rock and Roll To You", Santana "Winning" are just a few.
it was a magical time to grow up and listen to the radio, where you could hear Beatles, Wayne Newton, Johnny cash, Alice Cooper, zepellin, and all these fabulous hits ALL ON THE SAME STATION!
I grew up during the 1970s, graduating from high school in 1980 and I remember damn near everyone of these songs. What a crazy trip down memory lane this was for me.
I remembered these songs growing up as a child and a teenager as well,brings back great memories of the 1970’s.I graduated high school the year after you did in 1981.
How could anyone forget the song Vehicle by The Ides Of March. Every marching band in America has played that song at least once. These songs are all etched in my mind.
The song is magnificent and the only problem is that it sounds an awful lot like "Blood, Sweat & Tears". There just wasn't enough room for two such acts.
As a kid I knew all these songs from my transistor radio and K-tel LPs. But this is the first time for many of these groups that I saw them perform. Thanks brother
10:55, you forgot to post the name of the band singing Brandy. For those interested, it was Looking Glass. Like the 60's compilation, I notice a lot of electric guitars not plugged in on these clips.
I don't think so, Dimitri. Like Mountain with Mississippi Queen, these guys had one good song, and I don't think it was business that killed them, just a lack of creativity.
Yeah, but some of these guys just got lucky. Remember The Knack? I had their 8 track tape. Not a thing worth listening to, except My Sharona. I bought their next album too. Worthless.
You've got a point there. I never felt that the two later songs I heard by them, "Rainbow Man" and "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne", were up to the standard of "Brandy".
I remember hearing all these songs on a small hand held transistor radio I had back in the day. Some of them on a regular basis, Looking Glass, Blues Image, Shocking Blue, Argent, were all regular plays on the radio during that time period. Slipped thru the cracks of time, but they will forever remain in my heart.
The weird thing about "Funky Town" is that every time I've seen it performed ... all by the group supposedly named "Lipps Inc." ... the singers looked entirely different. I'm wondering if this group actually existed, or if they were like "The Archies" and we never actually knew who the actual group members were!
Your inclusion of the xylophone cut, at the end, was sweet frosting on the cake. Thank you. I was afraid you wouldn't include it. I've also watched your 60's version. Between the two of them, I probably have over half those songs on 45s. I can still remember, as a kid, going to the 5&10 and sifting thru the collection of bargain singles. As *Bob Hope* used to say, "Thanks for the Memories"!
>"Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol" Good point. You keep placing the song lyrics in the same place in your brain, over and over, but like the rest of us, we put our glasses anywhere. It's like we are testing our brain to see if it can figure out this random spot, in spite of us knowing most likely it is going to fail the test. We keep doing it though. Our brain is laughing at us.
And their follow up, "Love Fire" was quite good too! It sounded much like "Sky High" and was not close to being a hit, but it is still one of my favorite rare gems...still have my 45 of that song.
Oh wow, these songs bring back such, sweet memories! I am so glad to experienced these songs and the people who made them when they first came out. And I thank God for having older siblings who jammed to these classics! Because of them, I've build a large palette for all types of music. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed this video.
You can still catch Jim (Peterik) performing every summer around the Chicago area at different fests. He is still as crazy and as full of energy today as he was then. Just be warned, if he sees you just sitting there he'll come down from the stage and get you up and moving.
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds were all part of the T-Bones (see Fred's 1960s Gone Groups video) before Dunhill Records signed them to their own deal.
I almost cried as soon as the song started and I was thinking I KNOW that group and wow Hamilton. Joe Frank and Reynolds. YES I thought! I remember them so well.. had the vinyl album for decades but is gone now.. memories are still in tact somewhat.. hee hee
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds "Don't Pull Your Love" was one of my favorites from the summer of 1971. I graduated from high school in '71 and that summer is indelibly etched in my mind.
Fantastic memories. These are all from my teenage years. Thank you so much for bringing them back to life. It's amazing how much I remember these songs and the names of the groups.
Back in the day when local radio stations played what they wanted to some of them where I live never played none of this stuff there was a saying rather death than Disco I guess that's why I never heard oh some of the songs as always very good work great memories
Lost bands of the '70s could go on forever. Looking Glass was the only one not labeled. Lead singer was Elliot Lurie, who's still in music today. Tony Burrows in Brotherhood of Man, Edison Lighthouse, and not shown, First Class, White Plains, and Pipkins, and had hits in all 5 groups around the same time.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL FredFlix. keep 'em coming please! :) I wake very early a.m. and put onUA-cam on the Roku and choose subscriptions and look for things you've posted.. they really hit home with me.. some I don't even know why but they trigger something from so long ago and bring back memories.. I start to cry.. some I just smile inside. you know the thing about music from the 60's and especially 70's.. even in the names of the groups.. like Brotherhood of Man etc.. all about passion and love and fun and peace and.. well don't know how else to describe it and it is still early.. I wish I had a music list from these songs you find and post that I can play.. thanks again
Wow, Glenda, what a nice, well thought out (even though it was early as you said) comment. But I'm sorry I made you cry! (Tears of joy, I take it). I appreciate you watching and enjoying what I do.
Thank you Fred, I was just getting into it and it was over. You could have made a video showcasing all the terrific one hit wonders that lasted hours and hours. :-) Just off the top of my head one of my faves is Sugar Bears "You Are The One"
Thanks for not including Seasons in the Sun, and my apologies in advance for anyone whose musical PTSD is triggered by my even mentioning it. Seriously, I had no idea there were these early proto-music videos to most of these songs. Great stuff, even the terrible stuff!
This is for groups, not solo artists, but I would not have been surprised to see the Poppy Family, probably doing "Which Way You Going Billy?", in this video. In fact, I just finished posting a list of suggestions for a Part 2 video, and this group/song is in it.
Buggery! I was (for some unknown reason) singing that today (to myself), and couldn't stop because of the key changes. I nearly disappeared up my own arsehole. Then I watched this compilation and read your comment. I can only suppose it's because that area of my memory had been revived after watching Gone Groups of the 60s last night. As for the song, it's no worse than the rest! paper Lace are particularly naff, but most of the remaining songs are gross too. As for the fat ladies, that's another story. Same goes for fat gents, BTW. Better stop here.
Musical appearances by artists on various shows, and yes, even actual music videos, were around a long time before MTV. MTV merely provided a one-stop location for watching them, instead of chancing upon them by accident.
I know what you mean. My great aunt died a long painful death from lung cancer when Seasons in the Sun was a hit. When they played the song at her memorial service, it made me loathe it. I don’t like to hear it because of the memories it brings up, my auntie being the guinea pig for some doctors, and dying anyway.
It was way more fun being 20 in the 70s than being 70 in the 20s. 🎶😎🤘

Don't we all wish we could go back to 1975? I sure do. Knowing what I know now. Wow!!!

I can't tell you how many bands played for their fans from a rocky , wet sea shore back in the seventies! They risked so much just for our amusement! I am forever grateful for them to risk themselves for my admiration !! Please, give them a ovation having listening and watching these heroic people!!!
I miss the songs of the 70's. At least you could sing along with them, dance to them, understand the words and people had talent and could actually sing, not depend on computers and synthesizers for fake vocal sounds. You could play them in front of your parents without fearing foul language. There were love songs, songs about peace and fast cars. Harmony and blend was the mainstay of the success of each song. Rap was crap (and still is). We kept our pants pulled up, dressed to the nines for our dates and treated them like ladies.
Thank u. A true gentleman.
You're right, heartsong3149. The 60's and 70's ... how I miss the music and friends.
Thank you for telling the truth about our music of the past in which I still listen to today on my devices like my iPhone for example. You are right Rap has become CRAP because of the lack of REAL talent. Some rap that is good is from 1979 to 1993. After 1993, the RAP music is NOw music that I can’t understand and will NOT relate myself to. Since that is said I LOVED the video it brung back great memories. Get some more of these videos. Thank You.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good songs or artists today, but they sure as heck aren’t mainstream top 40’s. WAP is the most disgusting thing ever. I do mean ever. Beth Hart is amazing. Joe Bonamassa. Chris Stapleton is beyond talented and I don’t happen to be a huge country fan. I like individual songs but it isn’t my main genre. Of course Chris crosses over to blues. Rap isn’t my thing. I have heard individual songs that were good. Overall, I just don’t get into it. I like songs that are deep. That are poetry in song. I like songs that tell stories. If it’s the typical music of today it’s about booties, boobs, kitties, dope, money, and witches with a B. That doesn’t make me feel anything but nauseous. It doesn’t inspire anything but a headache. It doesn’t instill a desire to dance, it instills a desire to turn off the radio. Everyone reminisces over their childhood and the good old days. I can honestly say ANY period of time in history (depending on individual circumstances obviously) would be better than the present. I don’t see anything good coming at us. I believe we’re in the decline of human existence. God is forbidden if it’s the one true God. Everyone else’s god is good for consumption including children in public schools. Scientific “belief” (aka faith aka religion) is sufficient for instances where science hasn’t even proven something, yet actual science is forbidden in favor of acceptance. Right is left, black is white, up is down, and good is bad. Bad is absolutely now good. I do miss “the good old days”. I didn’t hate my neighbor. We were striving for a society that didn’t see color, only content of character. Was it perfect? No. Did we fail? Of course. Was it a darn site better than this hell we’re living in today? You bet. Good luck. Stay safe. God bless America
Actually you are quite wrong there were synthesizers in the early 1970s. Italian genius producer Giorgio Moroder (of Donna Summer fame) was one of the first to use synths in such hits as "Son Of My Father" and "Good Grief Christina" both were big UK top 10 hits. And then of course synths were a huge part of the 80s synth pop era. I love synthesizers!
Argent is still alive and well as "The Zombies" with their founder, Rod Argent, and vocalist, Rod Blunstone, touring the US and Europe. "The Zombies" are up for the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Do you mean 'Colin Blunstone?
Indeed. The tour that year was awesome!
Very true very true but they were likely included here due to only having one hit in the USA.
And Russ Ballard, of the Argents, had his own solo hits like Voices, in the 80s, plus other bands had hits with his songs, like America's hit, You Can Do Magic.
I love the Zombies. Got to see them in concert in my senior years about 5 years ago in a theater near Beverly Hills CA. It was a real treat. They even played Argent’s “Hold your head up”❣️⭐️
Damn why can't I wake up and it be 1969/70 again?!!!!!
freddy burch. I feel the same way!😆
Frank Figueroa I feel the same way those were the days everything was awesome exspeicaly the cars and music nowadays everything sucks the music what they call music , the cars they all look the same and all the electronic bull crap, jobs are all corporate America were they treat you like slaves instead of employees that they appreciate, and the women all look and act like freaks but think they are so hot and think they are better than anyone and over 90 percent of them are way over weight I could go on and on but you know what I mean The 70s rocked!!!
best ever 1969!! ''sugar..sugar'' by The Archies.
@ Greg AVFC 69/70 Jones: Love Villa but hate that song! Do you think we'll return to the Premiership this season?
2nd place won't be easy due to tough challenge from Cardiff and Fulham; Need to be a bit more lethal up front. Could imagine play - offs going horribly wrong!
Thank you Fred for this one. I was 8 years old in 1970 and it really brings back some great memories. Don't want to appear superficial and I'm not talking about 1970's style but this is back in the day when many musicians could be a little awkward in their physical appearance. Once the MTV moon man showed up on cable the swing from substance and talent to style and image began.
So true.
Yea back then some of them looked like auto mechanics.
Video killed the radio star.
MTV needs to be buried in a Pauper's Field.
They are SUCH A JOKE now.
They shouldn't -- EVEN -- be operating with the lie called music tv.
It should be re-named.
BSRTV.
BULL SHIT REALITY TV.
well said sir.
NEVER FORGOTTEN. Why would you think we could forget ANY music? It's in our memories always.
I've got 'em all! 45 records...K-Tel & Ronco LP records. The 1970's HAD a to of great tunes. I enjoyed them greatly as I went from 19 ~ 29. Many of these tunes had "special meanings" in the places, people, and events I went through.
Tom Foster, You beat me. I’ve got the 45s of Argent and Marmalade
Great job Fred, that was a great selection of great songs with bands that will live on forever, even if they are not performing today. What I always loved about those songs was it always made me feel good and happy. It would pick your spirits up and it was great to dance to. Unfortunately, music isn't even music any more. Those rap songs talk of violence and hatred. No wonder our youth is so disillusioned today.
Real singers and talented musicians, no phoniness. Authentic real music! The 60's and 70's were awesomeness. Talent galore!!!! I could listen to this stuff all the time!
Argent evolved from the 60's British Invasion band The Zombies of which Rod Argent
founded and Colin Blunstone sang lead.
Old post, but true, Rod Argent was not a "fall through the cracks" artist.
Jerry Brownell
The Zombies were one if the best if the British Invasion and had a very distinctive sound.
The volume on most of these is way too low.
Thought my phone was screwed up.
Jigsaw - SkyHigh...Wow, Thank you for pulling this all together.
Tons of memories wrapped up in those songs.
Isn't it amazing, even though the artist's career is a fleeting moment in time...The MUSIC will live forever.
They are not gone. They are in my mind, heart and soul for ever. Awesome groups. They and their songs will never die!
Grazing in the grass was the bomb back then . Listening to this music conjures so many images in my head of what life was like back then. Great memories that can never be matched by today's music. Millennials are being robbed of great music and memories related to it.
I used to have the single, "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace which I think was their bigger hit.
Dave Edmunds had a string of popular songs, through the 70s into the 80s, I believe and also a nice run with Nick Lowe when they formed Rockpile. I think people either knew who he was or they didn't
Paper Lace had a number one hit with the "The Night Chicago Died ". They were the first to record "Billy Don't Be A Hero " a number one in the UK but only number #96 in the hot 100. And then of "Billy" was covered by USA pop group Bo Donaldson and The Heywood's and they hit number one here in the usa kind of ironic. Bo Donaldson had no UK chart hits.
@@garypamatat3167 because the Limys knew bo and da heywerds Sucked
@@ricktraficanti2673 SPEAK English only here
Thank you for bringing back these tunes! You are amazing 👏! Love your channel!
Every time I think of the seventies, I think of polyester. 🤣
i slow danced with my 8th grade english teacher to that skylark song
then went home and rubbed one out.
😵
Fucking coffee everywhere goddammit. Lol
TMI..lol
I had flashbacks of platform shoes & backless dresses & halter tops. My sons think🎵🎶 70's music is lame. I explained to them it's all about dancing & feeling good. They should get with the program🎤👣
You tell 'em, Vicki!
Most people don't care about the lyrics, they just want a beat they can dance to.
Christopher U.S. Smith Although some of the lyrics were really deep!!! lol
Vicki Noeske Quite true! Lines like "Great God in Heaven you know I love you." ("Vehicle") really were deep. :)
I'm with your sons on the disco part of the 1970's. However, there was some industrial strength rock & roll too. Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bowie, Heart, Eagles, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc., etc. The 70's was rockin' as long as you didn't give a shit about dancing. None of my friends went to discos or wore platform shoes. We considered those people musical sell-outs, like the Rolling Stones.
Such fun music! I really miss the 70s.
Agree ! ✌
@@dannylee1987 me too, i love brandy you're a fine girl.and the horse.
ride captain ride great song
Kent Henry on lead guitar who joined Steppenwolf after this band broke up, rest in peace Kent and thanks for the great music!!
There's another great band Steppenwolf
@@lesschoenberger3070 Whoa! I saw Blues Image live at Fillmore West in1970 w/Kent Henry on lead.The whole Santana band came up and jammed with them on stage.That was one great show.Kent Henry :What a monster on guitar....and Joe Lala on drums....Sorry to hear they have passed away....
@@lesschoenberger3070 - Actually Henry and lead singer Mike Pinera both played lead. It is Pinera( bands founder)
playing lead at the end of the song.
Was I ever wrong! I thought it was Deep Purple--unless they redid it.
Thanks for reminding me how old I am. 😨
It's amazing what you forget. Nice compilation Fred!
Bravo Zulu...
Thanks again, Scott.
Scott Petrone ..and I think it is amazing how much I remember when I hear these songs
You forget, but then three notes in you remember the song.
An Amazing Collection Of One Hit Wonders Indeed! Thanks Fred! I Enjoy Reliving My Childhood Through Your Videos!❤️❤️
Thank you for doing this. The sound doesn't bother me - after all those years of listening to homemade cassettes off the radio , I'm back in my bedroom at my parents house! I can almost smell the tigress perfume!
Love it 👍👍👍✌️Thank you for posting some seriously great memories that had been forgotten
looking glass Brandy what a fantastic song
Became the hard Rock band Starz; real kick ass stuff...
..and, a fine girl.
The song was so epic it was given a prominent plot point in GOTG Vol 2
Chip Griffiths
Yep, I became a huge fan of “Brandy” the first time I heard it.
Does anyone has the two looking glass records
In 1976 the bicentennial year at Six Flags Over Texas I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders perform Still the One b y Orleans. They nailed it! Long Live Paul Revere and the Raiders 1960 - 2014 54 years of rocking insanity. Howdy from Dallas Texas
If you notice, the male singer at 3:35 (Brotherhood of man), and at 11:33 (Edison lighthouse) are the same person. That is Tony Burrows. He was a prolific studio musician(singer) in the 70"s. He also had top ten hits with White Plains( My baby loves lovin"), ThePipkins (Gimee dat ding-the gravelly voice), and First Class (Beach Baby). If these don"t ring a bell, google them. I'm sure if you are around my age (61) you'll recognize the songs. Burrows was quite the talent back then.
Good info, Greg.
Oh, man Greg
I remember.....Beach Baby, Beach Baby, there on the sand
From July to the end of September...
And Fred,
Strong the nostalgia is with this video, hmmm. :-)
Herb. Many people (Myself included), consider Beach baby the best Beach Boys song not by the Beach Boys. Ha Ha. Or as they would say nowadays Lol.
Tony Burrows sure got around, didn't he? LOL :)
Four of those songs were on the U.K. charts at the same time.
Thank You for the Posting! I didn't realize what great hits were out there. You did an amazing job putting this video together and documenting it well on UA-cam :)
Argent's "Hold Your Head Up" was a great song.
Singer Russ Ballard was a prolific song writer who wrote songs for others. 3 Dog Night "Liar", Kiss "God Gave Rock and Roll To You", Santana "Winning" are just a few.
the organ part was great
Totally agreed. Almost scary in its greatness.
It's been decades since I heard that one.
They all bring back memories of High School, early years in the military and friends made and lost.
The Organ player was Rob Argent from the Zombies
Fascinating decade the Seventies. Everything was brown and orange but it seemed like so much fun.
Great collage, reminds me of AM radio 📻 back in my grade school days. Thanks Fred! Peace and Love Brother 😸!
Same to you, funzjag.
it was a magical time to grow up and listen to the radio, where you could hear Beatles, Wayne Newton, Johnny cash, Alice Cooper, zepellin, and all these fabulous hits ALL ON THE SAME STATION!
Oh yes best music of the century, the 70s. If the party gets slow play some 70s and the room will light up even today!
I grew up during the 1970s, graduating from high school in 1980 and I remember damn near everyone of these songs. What a crazy trip down memory lane this was for me.
I remembered these songs growing up as a child and a teenager as well,brings back great memories of the 1970’s.I graduated high school the year after you did in 1981.
How could anyone forget the song Vehicle by The Ides Of March. Every marching band in America has played that song at least once. These songs are all etched in my mind.
The song is magnificent and the only problem is that it sounds an awful lot like "Blood, Sweat & Tears". There just wasn't enough room for two such acts.
Jim Peterik founding member and lead singer of Ides of March also co-found
and sang lead for Survivor ( "Eye of The Tiger").
Chicago with their horn section as well.
angel able Spot On. I remember trying to find the song and thought for the longest time it was Boob Sweat and Tears.
The Pride of Berwyn, Illinois.
My best memory of Still The One is ABC using it in their fall lineup ad
As a kid I knew all these songs from my transistor radio and K-tel LPs. But this is the first time for many of these groups that I saw them perform. Thanks brother
You're welcome, Michael.
ah yes k-tel remember it well
ditto :)
I had forgot about those.... K-tel presents....
Michael J. Sundberg oh no. You had to bring up K-tel. I feel so old.
Yup. Gone but not forgotten. Many of these songs are being performed live. And all the vintage equipment has me drooling...
Was surprised Pilot ("Magic") didn't make it on this compilation. Good stuff here though!
That song was pretty weak...like afternoon delight
@@jamesmack3314 Adam Sandler thought it was strong enough to include it on the Happy Gilmore soundtrack!
Ben Adam775 still weak!
I really enjoy watching these videos, makes me think of songs I thought I had forgotten. I still remember all the lyrics to these songs!
Good radio songs then and even now. Every time i head one pop up I can't but to become transported back in time to a certain degree.
"Just a guy" Thank you guy...this stuff was great. Watched the 60's edition as well. Incredibly nostalgic, incredibly great. Thank you.
If it's NOT the ' 60 's or '70 ' s in Heaven , I'm not STAYING !!!
6:35
Now I know where the channel 9 still the one ad gets its tune from! Thank you Orleans! My life is complete!
10:55, you forgot to post the name of the band singing Brandy. For those interested, it was Looking Glass.
Like the 60's compilation, I notice a lot of electric guitars not plugged in on these clips.
Don't know how I missed that, Clay, but thanks. I'll put a note on the video.
I don't think so, Dimitri. Like Mountain with Mississippi Queen, these guys had one good song, and I don't think it was business that killed them, just a lack of creativity.
Yeah, but some of these guys just got lucky. Remember The Knack? I had their 8 track tape. Not a thing worth listening to, except My Sharona. I bought their next album too. Worthless.
You've got a point there. I never felt that the two later songs I heard by them, "Rainbow Man" and "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne", were up to the standard of "Brandy".
Clay Loomis
THANX for the band name ! My head was about to overheat trying to remember !
..... (; - )
So many great songs and memories. Thank you for the videos you make, they always bring a smile 😆
That's exactly what I set out to do, Morgan.
Morgan Sparhawk IKR?
I never saw "Looking Glass" name displayed! But I loved the memories!!
Ah!!! The 70's!!! I miss you o much! Your right NEVER forgotten! Music today can't compare with you!!!!!
Cool. I've never seen a lot these bands actually performing
I entered High School in 1971 and left the Army in 1979, all these songs bring back memories. Thanks.
I LOVED EVERY ONE OF EM......THANKS DUDE !!!!!
Fred, you’ve outdone yourself with this. Restrictions should exist to limit criticisms and nitpicks to those who post content only
Knocked it out of the ballpark on this one, Fred ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I appreciate that, Mark!
I remember hearing all these songs on a small hand held transistor radio I had back in the day. Some of them on a regular basis, Looking Glass, Blues Image, Shocking Blue, Argent, were all regular plays on the radio during that time period. Slipped thru the cracks of time, but they will forever remain in my heart.
I'm guessing Ides of March were not only influenced by Chicago but also overshadowed by them as well.
I LOVE PLAYING OLD ROCK SONGS ON MY GUITAR...NOW 'BRANDY' HAS BEEN ADDED TO MY COLLECTION....THANKYOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL COMPLIATION OF SONGS....
Holy crap, now Funky Town is stuck in my head :(
The weird thing about "Funky Town" is that every time I've seen it performed ... all by the group supposedly named "Lipps Inc." ... the singers looked entirely different. I'm wondering if this group actually existed, or if they were like "The Archies" and we never actually knew who the actual group members were!
HAHAHAHA !!!!
Towlie's revenge.....LOLOLOL
kvernon1 Pretty much one guy with a synth and some session singers. Best song on here!
Like Soft Cell
Your inclusion of the xylophone cut, at the end, was sweet frosting on the cake. Thank you. I was afraid you wouldn't include it.
I've also watched your 60's version. Between the two of them, I probably have over half those songs on 45s. I can still remember, as a kid, going to the 5&10 and sifting thru the collection of bargain singles.
As *Bob Hope* used to say, "Thanks for the Memories"!
Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol
>"Wonder how I can remember all these lyrics but can't find my glasses lol"
Good point. You keep placing the song lyrics in the same place in your brain, over and over, but like the rest of us, we put our glasses anywhere. It's like we are testing our brain to see if it can figure out this random spot, in spite of us knowing most likely it is going to fail the test. We keep doing it though. Our brain is laughing at us.
I only discovered this channel a couple weeks ago but it is definitely my favorite now....thanks Fred
Nice to hear, Dracul.
Jigsaw: Sky High!!!
Loved that song when I was 10. Boy I feel old now.
And their follow up, "Love Fire" was quite good too! It sounded much like "Sky High" and was not close to being a hit, but it is still one of my favorite rare gems...still have my 45 of that song.
Oh wow, these songs bring back such, sweet memories! I am so glad to experienced these songs and the people who made them when they first came out. And I thank God for having older siblings who jammed to these classics! Because of them, I've build a large palette for all types of music. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed this video.
Forgotten Hits of the 60s are better than Forgotten Hits of the 70s!
Luke Hauser I agree !
Exactly what I thought. Way, way better!
You can still catch Jim (Peterik) performing every summer around the Chicago area at different fests. He is still as crazy and as full of energy today as he was then. Just be warned, if he sees you just sitting there he'll come down from the stage and get you up and moving.
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds were all part of the T-Bones (see Fred's 1960s Gone Groups video) before Dunhill Records signed them to their own deal.
I almost cried as soon as the song started and I was thinking I KNOW that group and wow Hamilton. Joe Frank and Reynolds. YES I thought! I remember them so well.. had the vinyl album for decades but is gone now.. memories are still in tact somewhat.. hee hee
Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds "Don't Pull Your Love" was one of my favorites from the summer of 1971. I graduated from high school in '71 and that summer is indelibly etched in my mind.
Those guys were great.
@@Jimbo700 Class of '73--and loved every single one of these classics.
@@Jimbo700 ...Their follow-up, "Winners and Losers" was also good, though not as popular or as everlasting as "Don't Pull Your Love".
Fantastic memories. These are all from my teenage years. Thank you so much for bringing them back to life. It's amazing how much I remember these songs and the names of the groups.
Ah,yes. The staple of AOR FM radio stations in the early to mid- 70's.
When I think of some of these hits I usually think of AM radio but Interesting.
🎵 Eighty-nine, W-L-S, Chi-ca-go!! 🎵
There's an awesome 60s/70s station in my area. I've heard most of these in the past couple months. Good memories....🎶
Dave Edmunds was a great influence for a lot of bands.
Ed B do you know what I mean!!!!!
Fantastic clips! I have never seen many of these, so many great songs! Thank you!
You're welcome, Bruce.
Back in the day when local radio stations played what they wanted to some of them where I live never played none of this stuff there was a saying rather death than Disco I guess that's why I never heard oh some of the songs as always very good work great memories
Lost bands of the '70s could go on forever. Looking Glass was the only one not labeled. Lead singer was Elliot Lurie, who's still in music today. Tony Burrows in Brotherhood of Man, Edison Lighthouse, and not shown, First Class, White Plains, and Pipkins, and had hits in all 5 groups around the same time.
This is my childhood, man.
My teen years.
Me too!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL FredFlix. keep 'em coming please! :) I wake very early a.m. and put onUA-cam on the Roku and choose subscriptions and look for things you've posted.. they really hit home with me.. some I don't even know why but they trigger something from so long ago and bring back memories.. I start to cry.. some I just smile inside. you know the thing about music from the 60's and especially 70's.. even in the names of the groups.. like Brotherhood of Man etc.. all about passion and love and fun and peace and.. well don't know how else to describe it and it is still early.. I wish I had a music list from these songs you find and post that I can play.. thanks again
Wow, Glenda, what a nice, well thought out (even though it was early as you said) comment. But I'm sorry I made you cry! (Tears of joy, I take it). I appreciate you watching and enjoying what I do.
yes, tears of joy and old memories. :) thanks so much... I love starting my day out with your videos.. even if my day starts at 2 a.m. hee hee
Thank you Fred, I was just getting into it and it was over. You could have made a video showcasing all the terrific one hit wonders that lasted hours and hours. :-) Just off the top of my head one of my faves is Sugar Bears "You Are The One"
It’s too bad all of these groups disappeared. Everyone of their hits was great and everything they had was better than everything now.
Thanks for not including Seasons in the Sun, and my apologies in advance for anyone whose musical PTSD is triggered by my even mentioning it. Seriously, I had no idea there were these early proto-music videos to most of these songs. Great stuff, even the terrible stuff!
Glad to help re Terry Jacks.
This is for groups, not solo artists, but I would not have been surprised to see the Poppy Family, probably doing "Which Way You Going Billy?", in this video. In fact, I just finished posting a list of suggestions for a Part 2 video, and this group/song is in it.
Buggery! I was (for some unknown reason) singing that today (to myself), and couldn't stop because of the key changes. I nearly disappeared up my own arsehole. Then I watched this compilation and read your comment. I can only suppose it's because that area of my memory had been revived after watching Gone Groups of the 60s last night. As for the song, it's no worse than the rest! paper Lace are particularly naff, but most of the remaining songs are gross too. As for the fat ladies, that's another story. Same goes for fat gents, BTW. Better stop here.
Musical appearances by artists on various shows, and yes, even actual music videos, were around a long time before MTV. MTV merely provided a one-stop location for watching them, instead of chancing upon them by accident.
I know what you mean. My great aunt died a long painful death from lung cancer when Seasons in the Sun was a hit. When they played the song at her memorial service, it made me loathe it. I don’t like to hear it because of the memories it brings up, my auntie being the guinea pig for some doctors, and dying anyway.
They were all favorites...oh the walk down memory lane....was great to hear the songs again...gets your blood pumping....Thank you so much.....:)
You're welcome, Pamela.
