Favorite songs I was raised on

Always enjoyed the songs from Jay and the Americans! Jay Black just passed and I believe I once read he could hit seven or eight octaves!

Ah I do remember that one. And you know, I don’t believe it has been played on here.

My attention has been alerted to the first few videos of the thread. It appears there are videos that are unavailable now. Awesome! We have plenty of re-do's to post!

I posted the wrong video. We did sing ring of fire, and we sang this. I’m, I had the tenor part.

It was kind of great being the youngest-as the oldest were in the late teens-and I started school listening to some awesome music-from my hippy sis.

"The Five Americans", a great band from the great state of Texas!

This was probably already posted, but the Turtles were one of the top 60's groups...

Another memorable early 70's song...

Lobo was known for some great hits in the early 70's...

 

[SD51]

A little later in the 70's, these guys had some memorable tunes...

Listening to all these great hits reminded of driving to my first job after college in 1973. Drove from the Twin Cites in my 62 Chevy Impala to a small town in Northern North Dakota. My assignment was to assist in testing radar equipment at this facility...

The Pyramid of North Dakota

The remnants of an early American attempt at missile defense.

If you ever taken a long drive with the radio on, you would usually hear some of the most popular current songs over and over. Here's the one I remember hearing the most that day...

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass ...When I was a kid, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing these guys , game shows , grocery stores, radio, advertising etc.. I haven't followed the entire thread, so apologize if a repeat

Lol. Thought he was taller. Good song 👍🏻

This makes me think of Clarence White & the Byrds. Bob Dylan wrote some great tunes, the Harmonies & guitar leads of the Byrds blew me away. I play guitar, & Clarence is a huge influence for me. Clarence was a true pioneer in every sense, trail blazed flat picking lead work in Bluegrass in his youth, & developed the B bender telecaster w/ band mate Gene Parsons while in the Byrds. Unfortunately we lost him in 1973.
