Totally agree, late 60s to late 80s, but being a jazz fan I do agree with another in this thread that the 50s started a lot of it, but the 30s and 40s had great jazz, swing and big band. 90% of the forward progress, talent and creativity stopped almost exactly at 1990, as rap and grunge.took over. SO depressing.

@Jay, I loved the 1970s, but I was kid too. I thought for a long time about how the world seemed so much nicer and more stable then, but I realized later that history shows the world was pretty messed up then in a lot of ways. There were horrors like famine in Africa, war in Vietnam, the Cold War, gasoline crisis, racial tension and injustice, slavery, totalitarian government oppression, the threat of nuclear war, gang violence, crime, etc. The world has never been a rose garden. My childhood was a rose garden in the 70s, but the world in general was not.

13 y/o, spring of ‘71, a big Hit in here in Scotland. I love Sally Car’s hotpants here (that’s what these shorts were called back then) reminded me of a pair of..red ‘wetlook’ hotpant dungarees I had. I saw them in a shop with mum and went on about them. She got them for me to shut me up. They were too big, but I was going to wear them when I was older. Lol! It was £4 she could’ve done without spending. I had a ‘feather haircut’ very fashionable at that time. My older brother had 2 Arthur Black shirts and a two-tone AB jumper. AB was a Glasgow shirt maker I think. The jumper shrunk in the wash so I got that. I notice there’s another girl dancing with hotpants on. This band and song brings back so much of that time for me. Some of our school teachers wore robes and we all had to at least wear the school shirt and tie - but that discipline was beginning to wane about the school uniform. Some teachers at school still wore robes. I was getting right into James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, Judee Sill, Gerry Raffery, Gallagher & Lyle courtesy of 2 of my brothers’ influences, one of which was never in (ie at home) to listen to all the LP’s (vinyl albums) he bought. I forgotten how great this sound was in this single. Ah well..

My parents loved that song and had put it on repeat over and over again. I was a child back then and didn't like it all. Now, centuries later, I enjoy listening to the happy songs now and then.

Als ich diesen Song nach über 50 Jahren wieder hörte, lief es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter und die Situation, in der ich diesen Song zum ersten Mal als 8-jähriger hörte: Ich ging mit einer Glasschale "bewaffnet" in ein Cafe (Cafe Zorn) in unserem Ort um 20 Kugeln Vanilleeis zu kaufen für Eiskaffee und da wurde genau zu der Zeit dieser Song gespielt! Ich kann mich an die Stimmung, die Atmosphäre, den Geruch und den Geschmack in diesem Cafe nach über 50 Jahren noch ganz genau erinnern als wenn es gestern gewesen wäre!!! Absoluter Wahnsinn!!!!!!

Ich lag im Kinderbett, war noch sehr klein. Meine Eltern ließen oft das Radio laufen. Es war ein Gefühl der Geborgenheit, das ich jetzt noch habe, wenn ich alte Songs höre. Dieser Song jedoch hat nun, da ich den Inhalt verstehe, einen bitteren Beigeschmack

When you think about it, pop music---whether in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s(sort of.....I preferred the alternative rock scene then)----was simply smashingly great: yeah, each decade had its own sounds and songs, but what great tunes and memories to go with them! I know I'm just getting old, but it's hard to beat these gems from the 60s/70s/80s....rock on!
