Thank you Skip! As a Chicago kid myself, I grew up listening to this song from childhood on the oldies station 104.3 WJMK. I made my own cover of "Lake Shore Drive" on piano. Hope anyone who sees this video enjoys it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKmZpopviLqGjqs&lc=UgxJV6XFIlZxfvb-6wF4AaABAg

I had such a crush on Gene and went to see the Mundelein cast several times. Thanks for posting this! Also love your Monkees videos, another one time obsession.

Me and a back in the good days 0:30 neighbor picked me up and drove me to make a dr.s appointment a few day’s ago.We rolled from the north to roll south & got on Lake shore drive.We couldn’t believe what are eyes seen.Tents set up all along the road of homeless people on a Saturday.Unreal what is are Country leaders thinking?

Back in 1977 me and some of my friends were heading back South on LSD in my '69 Olds 4-4-2 on a very early Saturday morning after hitting Rush Street and Lake Shore Drive comes up on the radio. Needless to say we all are singing along and having a ball after a long night out. Great memories thanks to Alliotta Haynes Jeremiah! Thank you Skip Haynes for this wonderful song.

2:26 I work in that building LMAO cool

dont look like that no more

a kid one told me a story about getting to soldier field to see the dead, they where already high, so they asked another dead head how to get to the field, and he said "take lsd, youll find the way" and left thinking that would help... it didnt.

Micky sister coco did a great job together

Thanks for posting. I loved wild Chicago. Really helped me when my friend told me this song was not about a road.

The time period that this song was written/ recorded the city of Chicago and L. S. D. were totally different animals.....the song captures that FEELING so well.

THANKS SKIPPY 😊

Uncle Skip I will miss you and Dana very much you were my everything love your niece Sherry

Man, that dude is cool

My mom is the Columbia! And Gene and Caren are still just as cool as they were back then :)

Skip is a low life who stole the song lsd and died doing hard drugs SAD

rip skip

There ARE some things I miss since moving out of Chicago. Driving on Lake Shore Drive is one of them. Brings back tons of childhood memories.

Thank you so very very much ! Good to see the city again. I've recently moved to New Mexico but I will never EVER forget the wonderful memories I had driving on Lake Shore Drive. It was a wonderful beautiful dreamy road. One of the prettiest in the world ! Sometimes the lake would be blue, sometimes green, sometimes gray.

RIP Skip. You will be missed. Thank you for Lake Shore Drive.

Downtown looked Alot smaller than it is today

I believe Davy's spirit was giving Micky strength during that performance....RIP Davy

For the record, this is not me (Ace Kierna). This is Gene Chiovari, the Original Frank with Midnight Madness.

great to see this , from St.Louis - heard your Music on K-She 95 , bought your LP's :) QC

Hey Skip. Just happened on this interview. Loved it! Quick wit on your part. Thanks for the music, the memories & and the laughs. You take care.... Don

What a great interview with the writer of one of my favorite songs. Also, I miss the program Wild Chicago that aired on WTTW channel 11. That's Will Clinger interviewing Skip Haynes in this video. Whenevern I'm in the area driving north or south through Chicago, I often take LSD (Lake Shore Drive) instead of the expressways.

Thanks for sharing this excellent interview.

Great song, Great post! Thanks
