Top 10 Songs You Forgot Were Awesome (60s 70s 80s)

[@DYR]

Which hit song do you feel doesn't get enough airplay? 🤔

[@SirKnight1096]

Those racists were and still ARE Democrats. Maybe learn history. Learn reality.

[@bobbest8627]

Does anybody remember the song 98.6 by Keith? It went gold but I don’t know much about that guy. Lodi-CCR Time won’t let me - the outsiders Cover of the Rolling Stone… Dr. Hook I could probably go on forever… It’s too bad that today’s music is taking over the airwaves. But there are a few oldies channels out there… And there is a Lotta good music out there from back in the day.

[@bobbest8627]

@NotaHero911-hq7dg thanks. I always thought it was hey 98.6… my cousin wrote down the lyrics all those years ago… Anyway, that’s how she heard it. Was a nice song… Wonder whatever happened to that guy

[@bobbest8627]

@NotaHero911-hq7dg yep! when I was a kid, I thought the line in the Star-Spangled Banner, that said “ gave proof through the night” was” Babe Ruth through the night” because that was the song they sang at baseball games. Imagine how embarrassed I was when I sang it wrong in front of the class. That was about 50 years ago, just now getting over it! Lol.

[@marieallison7219]

There's a song my Dad had on an 8-track called Devil With A Blue Dress On. I have no idea who sang it, I just remember being in early grade school, getting up in the morning and BLASTING that song! My parents would CRACK UP watching me sing and dance to that song. What grate days❣️

[@galeem713]

The animals were planning at a bar I was working at. I worked well away from the band and finally my long day ended. As I waited for the cab (as buses had stopped many hours before), 4 guys came out talking and laughing. They asked me if I had liked the band. I told them I hadn’t heard them. So all four looked at me and sang their hit for me. Happened over 50 years ago but I still remember it.

My mother had such an appreciation for music that she wanted all us siblings to learn music so we did learn and play instruments as well as listened to music on the radio and played records on the stereo. I took music appreciation in college and learned about Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc., as well. So you know I was listening to the 60's, 70's, and so on all of my life being the baby of the siblings bc I was born in the late 50's.

You can sleep to it; eat to it; study to it; dance to it; and listen to it. It can invoke thoughts and convey anything words can say. There's nothing better than it in all phases of our lives and we would be lost without it!!! It is one of the greatest gifts that GOD blessed us with up there with eating, sleeping, and sex; lol!!!

[@luisak68]

I thank my dad for his eclectic taste in music. He use to wake us every weekend to the loudest music & we never knew what was going to play. It could be a waltz or national March from Chile to the Beatles to what ever ABBA song was the hit at the time. He use to drive us crazy but jeez he could throw some wild parties with his friends. Miss him heaps, it's 8 years yesterday since his passing.

It was an easy listening station but did SGSN. And your segment about Patsy Cline made me smile. My mom was a young woman in the Navy in Norfolk when she met Patsy in a bar she was singing in. Mom had some great stories about her and some of their fun at the time.

[@Nan-59]

I’ve love that song since it hit the radio waves!! There’s just something about that song❤❤❤✌🏻

[@breygon1]

Redbone played at the at Philadelphia's First Earth Day celebration that was held at Strawberry Mansion in April 1970. (I was there.)

[@AmigoKandu]

I hung out with Tracy Lee Nelson who filled-in for Lolly on the guitar after his stroke. The phrase "Come & Get Your Love" was actually when the Vasquez brother's father was going to punish them for something they did. But, they were first active in Latino music in SoCal, then were hot into Surf Guitar craze. As studio musicians, they worked with many singers, the late Tina Turner probably being most famous. The recording industry was very tight & controlling. So Redbone went to clubs in Europe and were instant superstars. But they "lost" Pete "King Kong" DePoe, drummer, to the vast abundance of drugs. Back in the States, 2 changes of drummers, but now more albums showing the range of influences that was part of their sound. Pat (Vasquez) Vegas is still with us, his son PJ Vegas does projects, and activism for Native Americans in the Los Angeles area. I'm not in SoCal now... the pandemic era, and inflation, shut down my road trips. Now on my phone, I can pull up songs from the era. Back on Island of Guam, I did chores for my jukebox money 1969 to 1975. Peace-out!

[@theukuleledirectory3900]

1st time Ive heard it was on this video

[@AmigoKandu]

@@theukuleledirectory3900 Redbone were suppressed in USA because of the big label record companies. They became superstars in Europe, then returned USA and Soul Train tv show hosted them. But the big shootout between FBI and AIM at Wounded Knee hurt their prospects. Their new albums has some political messages. Pete DePoe did too much drugs in Europe, forgot how to drum, Arturo Perez replaced him, then Tony Bellamy's cousin Butch Rillera took the drums. Lolly had a stroke in mid 1990's. Bellamy died of liver failure in 2009, Lolly died 2010 from lung cancer complications. Pat Vegas has tried to form a new group "Redbone Europe". And Pat I filmed almost 10 years ago, is still with us. His son PJ Vegas does his own music & Native culture projects in the Los Angeles area.

Indeed. But let's not forget how inappropriate it was for Bowie and Jagger to record the song for Live Aid.

But when it mentions the places where these people are dancing, they're all in AMERICAN cities. Nowhere else. And I always thought that was hypocritical...

It's good these songs are organized here so maybe some virgins to music from the 60's 70's & 80's can get a listen to music with melodies & harmonies and lyrics not full of profanities.

...or autotune...

I don't get why Bowie's Life on Mars doesn't get as much airplay as it deserves. To me, it's the best Bowie song ever. Personally, I have liked almost all of these songs for years upon years. Even those released way before I was born. My mother always played a lot of fifties, sixties and seventies music as I grew up. Grew up in the eighties. This music was more or less the music of my childhood. The few that weren't either weren't big here or my mother simply didn't like them. Awesome and not that forgotten. At least not by me.

The Kinks semi-comeback in 1982 was fantastic - great show and a great follow up live double album. Every song gets a harder - and much better - treatment.

[@raremage]

I don’t think the Kinks get enough credit for their impact and influence as a classic rock band. Ray is one of the greatest, most prolific songwriters in the history of Rock, and his brother Dave is a criminally underrated lead guitarist.

[@mikefisher2673]

Their Low Budget album is one of favorite albums .

[@jdaniels1313]

Loved that Kinks live album, and I agree, their live versions on that album are generally way better than their studio versions! Where have all the good times gone?

[@raremage]

@@jdaniels1313 Guessing you mean One For the Road - which is just an amazing collection. A “must hear” for any classic rock aficionado!

[@darlenetisdale1641]

[@Mike583]

Maybe you & some others out there, have forgotten these great songs. Many, many of us still remember them & listen to them often!

[@judybaackebrewer61]

Some great music out of those eras thanks for bringing back these awesome songs

[@neilfraser2349]

A few of these songs, yes. Many, are still classic throwback hits at retro parties.

[@janakilian9994]

1965, The Honeycombs, Have I The Right. I wasn't even born, but man, what a song!!!!

[@davidbreen4353]

WOW!! that was way too cool man! i grew up listening to all of those songs and artists. didn't care for U2, and you nailed them as what they became. So many beautiful songs when music was great. the Supreme's, Paul Revere and the Raiders are just two that come to me as having great easy listening songs. I enjoyed this. hope to see more. thank you.

[@matthewchicchi7262]

if you've ever worked in a store anywhere, ever, then "Come Get You Love" is in HEAVY rotation.

[@lindamcfarland9656]

I havent read through all the comments, but I just want to point out that Nena's 99 Luftballoons was probably the first German language song on the popular charts. Also, I think Der Kommisar was before, if not contemporary. 🙂

[@nyneeveanya8861]

You’ll never walk alone was kept alive in USA for many years by Jerry Lewis who sang it in support of those people with muscular dystrophy.

[@Teri6419]

For once, I got a good recommendation for YT. I love this compilation. I miss the Righteous Brothers.

[@TOP5InstantRegret]

You've masterfully captured the essence of the 1960s Hollywood era, allowing us to witness the profound transformations of these actors within the narrative.

[@elizabethboake8471]

Got lots of fav artists from way back when....Stevie Wonder, Little River Band, Reo Speedwagon, Ambrosia, Journey, The Bee Gees, .38 Special, Lynerd Skynerd, Rod Stewart....I will stop commenting now cause the music really never stops.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Two or three songs in and I was getting miffed that you were playing such short bits from each song. Then I realized that (a) I can easily Google any of them in their full glory, and (b) this video is about the story of the song and the artist. So thanks for the blast from the past. Nicely done.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

You Send Me is great… amazing, but Bring It On Home To Me is so insanely good that I can’t imagine not picking it.

[@annanikia7949]

One of the best music roundups I have seen on YT! Loved it!!

[@87plaid]

These songs aren't forgotten. You're just listening to the wrong stations.

[@eily_b]

There are many songs I could add: Mick Jagger - Just another Night Duran Duran - A View to a Kill Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon Herbie Hancock - Rock It Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart Styx - Boat on the River Cyndi Lauper - All Through the Night Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers - Don't Come Around Here No More Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance Fleetwood Mac - Big Love Survivor - Burning Heart The Hooters - And We Danced Kate Bush - Cloudbusting Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster Kim Wilde - Cambodia Status Quo - In the Army Now Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself OMD - Secret The Stranglers - Golden Brown Godley & Creme - Cry Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra Michael Jackson - Give in to me Dream Academy - Live in a Northern Town Fleetwood Mac - The Chain The Art of Noise - Paranoimia ...

[@neilf1059]

correction "Dream Academy - LIFE In A Northern Town" :-)

[@k.b.tidwell]

I remember when "Rock Me Amadeus" felt like it was playing 24/7 on every rock station that 15-year-old me listened to. I never did understand every bit of the lyrics lol. Now I've got to look them up...

[@allancurrie8088]

Ha yea me too👍

[@sandrathompson984]

They were all great songs which I remember them all ❤😊

[@pam8962]

Love Michael McDonald and the Doobie Bros 😊❤

[@thomasturner6827]

Big Country is one of my top 5 songs of all time. Glad you included it.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

In the 80s I had a cassette tape of classical music, mostly Mozart, but Rock Me Amadeus was one of the tracks. 😋

[@beverly5886]

I am from the US and I have never forgotten "You'll Never Walk Alone" or any song by Gerry and the Pacemakers"!

[@margaretbrady5646]

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying, Ferry Cross the Mersey! What a voice!!

[@Makoto03]

The first time i ever heard that 'So happy together' song was when it was used in a commercial for Nintendo's Super Smash Bros game in the late 90s.

[@janberry4516]

Don't know about airtime. I am 74 and thought I'd remember most of these. You lost me somewhere in the late seventies and only Betty Davis eyes was familiar in the eighties. I was busy raising kids. Then you went back to the fifties, and I remembered all but Rocket 88 which I'd never heard. I also never heard of Lola from the seventies. I'm having those "where were you?" moments. I do wonder how it is that I am at the tail end of my life, and I missed so much. But KZbin is making catching up fun in my old age.

[@rikkiross7691]

The 80's had the best songs EVER..Great High School memories!!

[@LuvBorderCollies]

I graduated in the mid 70's so I got to hear most of the 60s. I didn't appreciate the wide and new variety of the 60s until recent years. The 70s was torture and salad spoon gagging. Between awful sappy music and horrid fashion nuclear wasteland, there were occasional gems like Sweet, Boston, Fleetwood and such. Then came my favorite decade....1980s. Partying, designer jeans (women), and just a fun time. Musically you never knew what new band/genre was hitting the air next week. It was eclectic, fast and exciting.

[@dragonan5674]

Nice pun there on the Turtles' segment....."at loggerheads" 🤣

[@davidh8924]

I hate to break it to you but I listen to these songs every day.😮

[@caillinkelly2952]

SOme of these i hear on the classic radio stations all the time..the rest i listen on my own.. Love LoLa,

[@IowaHawks875]

And wasn't it great to see the Kinks come back in the MTV days? Lola was ground breaking! ' Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, It's a mixed up, jumbled up ??? world, Except for Lola Lo lo la Lola!" Lola smiled and took me by the hand, said, dear boy, i'm gonna make you a man... One of my lifetime favorite songs. And that's the way that I want it to stay. Think I'll send a copy of it to my grandcild, with lyrics and visuals of course🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 they're not alone.. Thank you so much!

[@k.b.tidwell]

The Pet Shop Boys “West End Girls” is one that always drew me, and one that back then got a LOT of airtime.

[@24get24give]

don't forget Com e on Eileen and Dance Hall Days!

[@k.b.tidwell]

@@24get24giveyes! I remember those well, I had a couple of their tapes, but for whatever reason my radio station rarely played them. West End Girls was always on, seemed like.

[@shannonnichols3415]

I adore this channel! It’s a tie between the music, naturally, and the trivia you sprinkle in! I love it! I’m an 80’s kid, which means I was born in 70’s, so my parents were children of the 40’s and loved music of the 50s-80s! So basically, I’m a music nut for anything from the 50s through 90s to be sure and a little before maybe and quite a bit after although I think once computers took hold of the world & the music biz added the auto tune and dropped the vinyl, it’s just not the same. I don’t blame them & it’s great things are less of a problem in some areas for them. It’s just that people are different now. Nobody sacrifices themselves to be better and I’m as guilty as anyone…we got lazy! Anyway, do you have a podcast? I think you have a great voice, too! Thx! Many blessings 🙏🇺🇸

[@johnbarney5787]

YES! Echo and the Bunnymen . You are spot on with this song's greatness! Anyone who is only familiar with Rock Me Amadeus needs to check out more Falco ( RIP). His song Vienna Calling is incredible

[@Linda_AUS]

I was raised on musicals, and dad had all the albums. Paint your Wagon, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, South Pacific, and my favourite Carousel. Just to name a few. Loved and still love, 'You'll never walk alone.' My all-time favourite.
