[@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 my friend just got his very elderly mum a new budgie for her birthday and this just popped into my head. Oh for the joy of the 60's and 70's music again

[@jackhyman5209]

i remember this from my school days, makes me feel really old !

[@zaklangdon]

I remember this in primary school, I'm 13 :)

[@martynh5410]

You are old!!! Me too. I was 17 when this was popular.

[@geoffjoffy]

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.

[@geoffjoffy]

@@18thebat Cheers

[@PartworkUpgrades]

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.

[@oxidatie]

When times were good and you could dance without having any problems. Just being happy and awesome. Wish we could go back to those good old days.

[@mattsawyer343]

Just so you're aware...there are a LOT of people dancing without problems, whatever that means, they're just younger than you

[@tuiteruyo360]

There was such a beautiful diva back then, thank you for the treasured footage.

[@martinhiggins3987]

everytime i hear this it makes me smile,cheesy but catchy.

[@raistrickt]

i have not heard or seen this for a million years ....... wow ... i was about 6 ... but still remember it love it .. 2019 ;)

[@trollop_7]

And what did you understand of it when you were six?

[@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?

[@Imaginacion57]

I love this band... I love this woman... I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[@SteveGans-y4k]

I was born in 1966 and grew up on all music from the 40s on up. I'm still a huge oldies fan. But I have to confess I've never heard this before or even heard OF it! I love that at this point I can still discover new (to me) great music and bands from the past.

[@amugen]

Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, I was 5 when this came out. Still remember singing in the playground. Hard to imagine I was ever so small.

[@kenderen3736]

I still listen to and watch the old stuff and will continue to do so. I'm not changing for anyone. Best times. Best music.

[@grahamflint9200]

Ha got granddaughter singing this

[@MuncheeZRetro]

You stand your ground Kenneth my lad

[@pdmfuture53]

Oh those 70’s care free days…where’s those days gone😢

[@mattsawyer343]

you got old. Younger people have them now.

[@JohnPreston888]

Pay close attention to the credits. "Care-free" for child molesters who get to the grave before the justice system gets to them... I wonder if the fiddled-kids reminisce wistfully.

[@angelacooper2661]

I had just celebrated my first birthday at the time of this video. Spent my first nine years during that decade!

[@ScratchyBaws]

Got our first record player 1975 when i was 4 going on 5 and this song was on a record donated with the player and remember playing it all day long. Drove my mum mad but it was all we had back in those hard times. Near 50yrs later i still thank the lady who's 77 now for that record and player and do lots of odd jobs for her for free because the joy she gave me back then as a wee one. We even got her her first flip phone so we can check up on her, you always look after those that were kind enough to look after you. Bless her.

[@mick5296]

In 1971 i was 17yrs old and sally was a must see on top of the pops! great voice, great looks and cracking legs, oh and the song is great too.

[@jmrodas9]

Another of those great songs of the seventies and the singer is not only a good singer but a beautiful lady too. This one brings to me so many memories of those years.

[@kazwhymark3165]

I was 6 when this came out. I used to jump up and down and sing my little heart out when it came on tv on top of the pops. Happy Times back then, much better world than the one today.

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! 😃

[@macarchers]

Ahí raggione anche tu

[@bluelyricscat]

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.

[@bluelyricscat]

@R S Everyone is singing along to it and enoying the melody.

[@bluelyricscat]

@R S We don't know. Maybe mother had to go to work, I don't want to discuss nor argue. It is just a song.

[@PNEKarl]

Simple natural people in the 1970's. Lovely.

[@wordsofcheresie936]

You think that this is simple and natural? Everyone on stage is made up with highly coiffed hair. This was the glam rock era.

[@tony_w839]

Top of the pops introduced by the 'simple natural' Jimmy Saville !!!!!

[@wordsofcheresie936]

@ I'm not saying that this band was glam rock. I'm saying that it was common for bands at this time to use a lot of makeup and have carefully done hair.

[@PNEKarl]

@eternal echo I simply meant, the 1970's. The best decade of my childhood. Fuck Savile!

[@michael7286]

1970s Music was and still is brilliant 👍♥️☺️

[@philipkane9393]

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!

[@kevindonnelly4663]

Sally Care U ARE a legend in my time. This song will always remind of me of my young life in a play pen in 1969/1970 and also downtown by Petula Clarke,.Memories of my wonderful parents and different times.
