Likewise. 62 years old, and I love reminiscing about all this wonderful music that was so emblematic of my youth. One of my favorite things about UA-cam is listening to all these songs from my younger days, and seeing these bands perform (which I never got to do.) Great way to while away a little time before bed (okay, sometimes a *lot* of time - ha!) Sweet, wonderful memories. Such fun!
Woa.. I went crazy whenever I heard this song!! Almost danced outside of my body back then!! 😂 I turned 63 yesterday (18 Jan '24) and I still remember all the lyrics. Luvit, luvit, luvit!!!
@@waynereynolds7598 My biggest concern then was my Junior Year in High School, got my girl friend pregnant, then quit school and joined the Marines. Then in May our Daughter Amie was born ( named for a nother great song)
The night Chicago died Billy don't be a hero That's the night the lights went out in Georgia Band on the run These are the songs I heard at church camp At the swimming pool.
Thanks to my amazing mum who owned a thousand 45's + another thousand albums. Introduced this 44yr old to some awesome music! She's been gone almost 16 yrs now. Depending on the song + my mood classics like this either make me smile or ball my eyes out. She bought 1 45 a week with her Woolworth's paycheck. Had a huge collection. Grateful to have grown up with amazing music in my home + an amazing mother. Who worked hard to eventually buy a stereo system with speakers bigger then her for us to blast some cool music through lol I can still hear her voice singing this when I hear it ❤
This could have been written by me except for the Woolworths part. My mom heavily influenced my music preferences. She had about the same amount of records too. My mama will be gone 2 years in July. As long as I can hear songs like this, she is always with me. ❤
What's a bloody trip Paper Lace was A British band I rocked to this in74 what a great time for music,my conclusion is people were smarter back then that's why the music was superior.....♥️🎸✌️
I don't think today's music is so bad. It is just different to what we grew up with. Yeah I still prefer 70s music. And the 60s and some of the 80s. Heck I even liked Disco. I used to dance to it in the late 70s. Some of today's music is beyond me, but some just rocks my soul like the good old days.

Brings back great memories from 1974 when I was in Junior High. This song was a jukebox favorite at the candy store which was located right behind the school. Takes me way back to a more peaceful, carefree time. They just dont make music like they used to!
Kind of ironic that you describe the time as peaceful and carefree when the song is about a time of street gangster wars and 100 cops being killed. lol. Not being sarcastic. I just thought that was funny.
Watching this fantastic track. Tick tick, the clock comes on at 2:32 showing 7.00. That’s exactly the time I’m here watching this clip. Me think it amazing.😂
I am with you on that...Because today '"Singers/Bands" are so busy working on their skimpy stage clothes, how much lip sync is required , how much focus is on them, how much razz & fuss etc they can create on stage, & how important they are. (Yeah right) . They do not seem to realise they are their to basically sing /play music. B..T.W I wonder how many today, can actually play an instrument .. Peggy Wood
Songs of today and those that followed after this song (1974) did/do tell a stories (many stories, actually and repetitive themes too). It's just a matter of people releasing their tendencies towards rosy retrospective.
I had this song on my K-Tel albums! Man K-Tel use to put out good albums! My dad my still have mine, I'm 62, in his basement with my Elvis ones! Canadian here but music is the best thing & I love old country too!
People, when this played on the radio on a beautiful summer night with the whole neighborhood out hanging out, you couldnt understand how great of a time it was. And i was a little kid. Would have been cooler if i would have been older.
I remember Summer of ‘74 always hearing this on Musicradio 77 WABC in NY. In retrospect, there was something special about that sound on AM radio that made it special
I got this record back in the 70’s When I was a teenager. I love this song ! This was one of my favorite song and played it over and over and I’m still playing this song over and over . It is so good !!!😊
When I was a teenager, I used to go to summer camps with my family, in the outskirts of Istanbul-Turkey. There was a disco there. Each summer night the Director's son who is the owner of the record player was playing this song. I remember those happy days of my younghood! Those were the days...
70s Music 🎶 🎵 is awesome...This song is still a favorite of mine ....I was 13 when it came out..I can remember my friends loving ❤️ this song as well ...I wish we can go back there...Best Songs 🎵 Best of Times

67 in January, cant beat these old tunes, even when they mimed on top of the pops, if only they had a time machine to go back for a few days, i,d be in that line for sure, whos with me ?x
I was driving back home to Louisville, Kentucky after visiting the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I grew up. It was after Labor Day 2022 and I was going through Chicago and this song came on and I couldn't get to the volume knob fast enough! What great memories.
Cuando era niña esta canción estaba de moda, fue la época más linda de mi infancia en Los Cipreces, era lo máximo esta canción escucharla en las fiestas.
This won Battle of the Records every night all summer the summer it came out. Finally, Seasons in the Sun unseated it...Such sappy music back then (Billy Don't be a Hero), but still brings a grin to my face
@@silverpanther69 Hush, you old man. People like you ruin everything you're involved with. Not one mention of autotune. Go back to eating your cling peaches, granpa. And keep quiet.
I loved this as a kid listening to my dad's random vinyls. As an adult I didn't know much about until about the year 97/98 when I was at a holiday camp place and paper lace were playing. When I heard the opening chords I can't remember being so happy!! Was a fantastic surprise
I was born in 68, so didn't really know the song, but about 6 years ago I picked up a compilation CD of UK Hits of the 1970s, this is one of the great songs in that set along with Judge Dread... missed so much damn being born to late...
Takes me right back to the summer of 74 at our cottage in Canada. Listening to the radio and singing along. There was some much variety in music back then. Radar love...and the hits just kept on coming. WKBW in Buffalo use to do top 100 count down on Labor day it was sad in a way because summer was over for us, school would soon be starting and the cottage had to be shut down. We were so lucky with music then.
Omg. Yes yes yes. I grew up in Buffalo and WKBW !!! What was the DJs name? Tom something. Was your cottage on Rice Lake? I went to Starpoint Central school. Looong time ago
Paula, must be nice to be so young. I remember big band, early fifties music and then came along "Rock and Roll," mid fifties. Still rockin after all those great years of yesteryear.
@@richardjacobson1735 I'm 60 next year! I spose age is relative. I'm into all sorts, from classical to a couple of rap songs. If I like it, it doesn't matter what kind of music it is.
What a wonderful time for the best music EVER. My kids and grandkids love my music I grew up with. The stacks and stacks of 45's next to the record player were testimonials to the events of the day. I think about happy faces, mad magazine, bell bottoms, Vietnam, Watergate, bikes with banana seats, POW I.D. bracelets and more. It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. Lucky to have lived in such a time.
Right on, Pam. I love today and all the good things going on but not much can compare to this era. Collecting 45's was a staple in my family. They were very important songs, that told stories of great imagination and also fact, in some songs. It meant an awful lot to listen to these songs with the family. The older folks would start discussing what some of the songs were about (or what they thought they were about) and have endless good times, while doing so. Things are different today in a sense that there's no more "togetherness" Well, I do my best to spread that vibe around. Peace.
I remember it like yesterday, life goes by way too fast.
Don't blank
Blink😮should be don't blink
Amen.
Love songs that tell a story with great music! What a hit it was back in 1974 and today 50 yrs later, thousands are still cheering them on!!
2024. ❤
Great song!
Lyrics are engrained in me 😂
As a bonus, the listener is able to understand the words & sing along.. . Great stuff for sure. Peggy Wood
Whos listening in 2024 😅 (its a classic 👌 also im only 13 and i love this song)
The Spanish version is awesome, too. There are a few Spanish version , but there's onethat sound just like this one, I love boh of them.
I am 66 and this was a new song when I was just 13. 😮👍⭐
Born 50 years to late..70s and 80s had the bedt music..60s were good too
I'm 20 and love this song 🤩
I was 13 the first time I heard this😊
Hands (thumbs) up who else agrees with me that this is simply a great sing along song from a great era of songs & bands ...Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
Still have my 45 I got in 1977
You got it! There will never be the equal of seventies music again.
NCAÀBAA Baz aa
Brilliant
I disagree. Its theA side. One Tin Soldier. I bawl my awesome out in both songs, but One Tin Soldier, rips my soul apart.
Great tune! I'm 60 yrs old and grew up listening to great old songs like this! They'll never write songs like this anymore!
Fast forward to today and Chicago has literally died.

Right there with you brother. Turn 60 this year. Feel like I’m 25 though. Having a good time even in this dark world.
Ya it really was
Totally agree with you I am 62, and the days of our youth where brilliant.
I'm in your age group. it's sad Chicago is still dead :-(
18 years old, love this song. My Nan always had it on loud in the car along with Franki Vali and all the other hits 😂
Woa.. I went crazy whenever I heard this song!! Almost danced outside of my body back then!! 😂 I turned 63 yesterday (18 Jan '24) and I still remember all the lyrics.
Luvit, luvit, luvit!!!
Happy Birthday! Yes we were and are one of the best generations around. Great music ❤️
Same here,62 yrs old the best music is made in the 60s and 70s
Amen. 62 yr old here also. Nothing like what we grew up.
I like OLD music because I’m so OLD! listen to yourself
I agree. I'm 42 years old and I grew up with the music from the 50's and 60's. The best time for music. The music back then is what you call music.
I'm 70 and it's the best music ever
This is music from pleasant memories of past years. When you woke up in the morning and nothing hurt.🍷
this song takes me back, we will never have this style of music again, no autotune, no talent shows, just raw talent
My late brother, Johnny's favorite song. Makes me cry.
My condolences for your families loss!!
1975 I just turned 21, and the 70s rock was at its best.

That long ago…oh heck I’m old…lol

Billy don't be a hero
Billboard hit of 1972 actually.

Band on the run

At the swimming pool.
65 here this week on Tuesday. I cannot believe it! We grew up with great music!!!
Amen to that
Summer of '74. I used to hear this song on AM radio and I loved it.

Mt house always had music playing! Great way to grow up. I played music for my kids too.
I remember when they played the song on the radio all the time
Blessed experience and memories
Talk radio in the morning and music on the radio in the afternoon. My youth in the late 60s early 70s was an education in politics and music.
This could have been written by me except for the Woolworths part. My mom heavily influenced my music preferences. She had about the same amount of records too. My mama will be gone 2 years in July. As long as I can hear songs like this, she is always with me. ❤
Im 54 .This inmortal creation of Paper is one of the best things my ears ever Heard. Great storytellers song. Loud sound
Yeah ALEJANDRO
I am a young boy of 64.Not so long ago this was a hit.Time flys having fun😎
1974 LIVES ON AND SO DOES THIS GREAT CLASSIC WE STILL LISTEN TO IN THE YEAR 2024 AND ON.
greatest 70¨s ! thank god ! i love this song. greatest memories ! 64 years old !
I was a sophomore in high school. This song was on the radio an awful lot. What a great era to live in.
Wtf is a sophomore ?
In my case a dropout
I was a US Army Soldier at that time.

I have this and billy don't be a hero in a 45

A great song!!! But don't forget Hitching a Ride!

I was 8 when this was released. Huge impact on my life. Never gets old.
I was 10. Love it. Loved AM radio back then.
I was 9 still love it.
I was also 8 and you are correct, it never gets old.

i heard it in king of the hill.
Me too Robbie! I was 16. Great song!
Reminds me of my college days in 74, when people streaked an did crazy things.
I was also 16 in 1974
When music was music and the songs sounded great. Such talent in the late 60s the the early 80s
Every time I hear one of these great songs from the 60' & 70's it really takes me back. Like I'm literally there again for just a moment.
I love this song. Why can't songs today tell a story.
Because they are all shit.
They do, today's story's suck though
I am with you on that...Because today '"Singers/Bands" are so busy working on their skimpy stage clothes, how much lip sync is required , how much focus is on them, how much razz & fuss etc they can create on stage, & how important they are.

I grew up listening to this back in the days i’m nearly 60 years old now,back then the music from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s was the best
This song is masterpiece. One of my fave road trip music.
Been awhile and it brought a smile to my face. Thank you and be well.
Written by Peter Callander; a man that was born, lived and died in the UK. Performed by a band out of UK. Talent.
Evidently, he never looked at a map of Chicago...
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 So I’ve come to understand.
Peter Callander and Mitch Murray wrote lots of songs together for the likes of Tony Christie,John Rolls and I think Cliff Richard.
Paper Lace (the band) came from Nottingham, the UK's greatest producer of lace fabric. Fun fact. 😁

That’s for sure! No east side of Chicago , just Lake Michigan
I was in the second grade in Virginia Beach ,at Arrowhead Elementary when this song came still one of my favorite songs.
Una buena canción que escuche en mi juventud y que forma parte de mi cofre del recuerdo.
☹️Rest in Peace, Cliff. Loved this along with Billy Don't be a Hero back in the day...& wow, didn't they have great diction.
What a wonderful time for the best music EVER. My kids and grandkids love my music I grew up with. The stacks and stacks of 45's next to the record player were testimonials to the events of the day. I think about happy faces, mad magazine, bell bottoms, Vietnam, Watergate, bikes with banana seats, POW I.D. bracelets and more. It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. Lucky to have lived in such a time.
Right on, Pam. I love today and all the good things going on but not much can compare to this era. Collecting 45's was a staple in my family. They were very important songs, that told stories of great imagination and also fact, in some songs. It meant an awful lot to listen to these songs with the family. The older folks would start discussing what some of the songs were about (or what they thought they were about) and have endless good times, while doing so.
Things are different today in a sense that there's no more "togetherness"
Well, I do my best to spread that vibe around. Peace.
