[@smartfart9003]

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.

[@StarfieldRailway]

@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.

I'm here because I was 9 years old in 1971 and remember this record very well. I don't need some crap X factor show from 2020 to bring me here.

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Damn right!!

[@18thebat]

I totally agree with you.

I remember this from the age of 5.... and not until I was over 25 did I finally connect that tune to this song... awsome... have never forgot this since and play it every now and then.

[@shanef8728]

I was 9 also and this was the first record I ever bought back in 1971 , well it was my late dear father who bought it for me!

[@andi13929]

Love this song. Wish i could turn the clocks back. Whose watching this because of the lockdown. Stay safe.

Nel 1971 avevo 7 anni, il mondo era tutto meraviglia,un po' di quella meravigliosa età ritorna ascoltando questa canzone❤️

Io ne avevo 9, sono del '62.....e non mi ricordavo assolutamente più di questo pezzo. Quando YT me lo ha proposto e lo ho ascoltato ho avuto un sussulto sulla sedia e mi è sembrato di essere catapultato indietro nel tempo di quasi.....ehm...50 anni! 😃

[@helmyabdullah1962]

[@jamesknight4784]

HELMY ABDULLAH that was a tough time for me back in the high school going through puberty and all...... the cause..... the onset of the mini skirt,hot pants, and really snug fitting bellbottoms! it was a very painful. confusing, but a really really delightful period of my life! all together now! one more time now! p.s. man man all this put the hurts to my g.p.a.

[@niueanlaho]

fashion is so bad now days that the guys are wearing those skinny jeans that my sister use to wear lol.....the blokes are turning into ladies with all them face creams and girly stuff and girly hair cuts.....the days of the real men are fading....

[@raistrickt]

@@trollop_7 bugger all ! Lol... I just liked the sound of it .. ;)

[@trollop_7]

@@raistrickt Yes. It's an interesting sound, so it is. Where were you hearing it from?

[@weejim48]

The 70’ was a fantastic time. Great music and a time when the younger generation were cutting free. 👍

[@ruthsayers1163]

Cutting free from what????? Were there the problems with teenagers that there are now?????

[@crieff1sand2s]

If you read the lyrics to this song it's the parents cutting free and leaving the kids to fend for themselves and one of the children is a baby,leaving "mama & papa to go far far away" it's a pretty depressing song if u read the lyrics 🤔

[@jackhyman5209]

I used to have this song playing on my cd player to my kids on the way to school..early 2000s they loved it. Good memories

[@rjmcallister1888]

Now 50 years since MOTR recorded this at RCA's Rome studios and it became a #1 in much of Europe, with the UK coming on board a few months later. Happy to say both Sally Carr and Ken Andrew are doing well after Sally recovered from a brain embolism. Still fun to listen to, even now.

Summer of 1975, on the beach in the Crimea. The dawn. We have finished drinking party and are staring at the sea and the rising sun. And first we heard this song, sung on two voices, then saw two girls going along the shore in the surf and singing this song. I often see/recollect that marvellous picture from my Soviet youth and listen to Sally Carr, performing this masterpiece.

[@richardyoung9024]

Such simple and lively lyrics. I love this song.

[@ReubenHillier]

My grandad wrote it

[@willieidle8122]

Very dark lyrics, mum and dad fighting until mum leaves.

[@conscienceaginBlackadder]

@@ReubenHillier Then humans deserve extinction thanks to your grandad. Along with Umberto Eco and Edward Lear. The definers of an emotionally sick species. NB I'm not here listening to the evil song about child abuse by cruel abandonment,. I've stopped the video when still on the ads. Only want to look at the comments, as part of organising a complaint against a local singing group for singing it at the town jubilee party.

Thanks a Million Sally and the Guys !!!!!!!!!!! Great Times !! Far far away now Gorgeous Legs Hun !! lol
