To top it off my dad owned an Auto Body repair shop in Littleton,Ma. where I grew up. I can remember the coupes and hot rods. When I saw the movie American Graffiti it reminded me of sweeping the floor at the garage for my dad! My naive mother worked in the office part time. One day after The Doors released "back door man"" and 1 of the guys was singing I,m a back door man as he was walking across the shop my mother heard him and asked me, what,s a back door man? OMG did I turn red in the face! I could feel it. My answer was ahh, umm, I,m not sure, just ask dad, he should know and ran out of the office! Jeff D.

And that’s why I don’t listen to Today’s music.. A person much younger than my 62 years said “okay Boomer! Your generation has some of the best music.” My favorite decades for music are 60’s, 70’s & 80’s..

[@mottledbrain]

@@garycraig6506 I've discovered that my most of my favourite pop songs lie between the years 1966 - 1972. Although only eight years old at the time, I began listening to music in 1966. I'm guessing that disco took over the air waves in about 1973. (I do of course love many tunes from the early '60s and some even in the '90s. My favourite music however has been "progressive rock", but that is fading as I age. Nice, soft jazz anyone?)

[@hcrun]

The basic reason for that is because todays music is essentially created on a computer; samples are mixed, voices added, everything tweaked and the result spat out as an MP3. In our day (I'm 75) that didn't exist. Musicians had to play instruments and singers had to be able to sing. It wasn't until (approximately)1964 that the the first pop record featuring synthesised music (a stylus-operated keyboard of sorts) was issued......and it was pretty ordinary. We Boomers are lucky in that it was our music tastes coupled with 45rpm records played on portable transistorised record players which changed music forever. Today anyone can churn out a load of utter rubbish and call it "music".

[@slaughterhouse5585]

Thanks for the info, Ken. I'm nearly 71 and was a freshman in high school when that song was a hit. It brings back memories in the way that only music can do. Like you said, singers could really sing and musicians could really play back then.

[@davidhughes4448]

@@billpugh58 I beg to differ, Bill. 1) Perhaps you're too young to remember, but these were the days of hyper-cardioid shotgun mics mounted on a traveling, overhead boom operated by a stage hand that followed a performer on stage. Listen carefully for a tad of stage ambiance in her vocal mic. 2) Petula's vocal performance is not a verbatim rendition of the vocal track on the record. Keep an ear out for her ad libs and slight changes in the melody lines. This is not the studio vocal lifted off the master tape. 3) Listen to the live, Dean Martin house band arrangement. This is not a verbatim performance of the instrumental studio recording. 4) These were the days of real, daring musical performances, often executed on live national TV. Yes, there were some lip-synced appearances back then, but this is not one of them.

The humility of these singers is admirable, she looked as thought she was proud to sing for the audience.. humbled, the way she covered her mouth with that innocent smile. Not something you see today.

Timeless evergreen…😬I was in primary school 3rd year in 1967 when I first heard this song. I’m 66 years old now and I still love listening to Petula Clark..,🥰

You are therefore 12 years older than me, as this was filmed three years before I was born!

I sure miss those days. Although I was just nine years old in January of 1967, that decade was very much a magical time for me. At least in terms of entertainment. That era is gone forever, of course. But I can proudly say I experienced it!

This episode of the Dean Martin Show is special for , because it was the very night i was Born. And it just so happens that Petula Clark has always been and still is one of my favorite singers.

When this song came out in 1965 or whatever, my baby sister would sing along with it. The only part she could do was "Taa Taa, Taa Taa."

Was around then and am still here now....this takes me so so back...but in a good way...

Those variety shows were great back then. The whole family would watch one TV, no internet, no cell phones, Just the family and Dean, Bob, Red, Carol, Ed, etc. Fond memories.
