recorded 1969

[@Aprilia6100]

Never thought that this was recorded on 1969. Damn, so fresh and modern clip, more way better than mostly music clips on that era

Wonderful!

[@RadicalRoots23]

This is a good example of how tame modern music and TV has become. if someone said on 'X country's got talent' that 'oh i want a backdrop of folk in rainmacks doing throwing paint at a screen with a camera in a bag filming it'..they would say 'What? this is mainstream family entertainment, not art college!'. Yet in the massively better 1960s that was fine, even for famous mainstream singers.

The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da Charleston was once the rage Uh-huh History has turned a page Uh-huh The maxiskirt's the current thing Uh-huh Teenie bopper is our new born king Uh-huh And the beat goes on, yeah the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da The grocery store's the supermart Uh-huh Little girls still break their hearts Uh-huh And men still keep on marching off to war Electrically they keep a baseball score. The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss Life keeps going faster all the time Bums still cry 'Hey buddy have you got a dime' The beat goes on, the beat goes on Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain La-dee-da-dee-dee La-dee-da-dee-da The beat goes on and on and on...

[@HlaaluGuard]

Does anyone know where/if this version was ever released as a single or an album? מישהו יודע באיזה תקליט זה מופיע? אם בכלל?

[@lyricrogersofficial]

HlaaluGuard It wasn't; it was only on a TV special :(

[@jensdreiser]

Lyric Rogers Are you absolutely sure? I am music editor for a Hannover based radio station and would love to play that version. For legal issues I can only do so if I have an official audio file approved by her or the ones holding the rights. Do you have any more info which show it was etc?

[@99672]

@@jensdreiser Esther sings it at the "This is Tom Jones" show of 1969 and in the German tv Show "Esther Color" of 1970.

that's just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper!!!!

[@iriswigle]

Esther composed songs for Cher such as this, with Sonny, and can be seen when tv Cher cover disappeared & was thought to be abducted, composed Dark Lady, Gypsies, Cheerokee song, to let the would be abductors or killers, that they got the wrong woman. Composer reigns over covers. She also composed Barbara Streisand songs such as Bring in the Clouds, Touch me and others. The singing career started with Brenda Lee (& there were 4 of them) with Tori Amos having the breakdown in between
