Yacht Rock on Vinyl Records with Z-Bear (Part 7) - K-Tel Special

[@roomwithaview4195]

I met the love of my life on January 21, 1974. We'll celebrate 47 years of marriage on December 18, 2023. This wonderful music takes me back and I can feel her in my arms, swaying and spinning on the dance floor. Thank you

Yours is the ONLY music channel I now listen to on KZbin! Seriously, your choice in music has really lifted my spirit and brought back some amazing memories from growing up in the late 70s and 80s. Thank you... from my heart to yours. Keep doing what you do 😎🙂

[@kimbermoss]

Um. Im COMPLETELY addicted to this channel! I just spent a whole day rocking out and cleaning my home to all this music. Love love!!!❤

Just found this channel Z Bear I love this channel

[@calybo6481]

Boy, does this ever take me back to my childhood, which was awesome because of this kind of music.

[@shannondore]

I've had a rough day. Got caught in a traffic jam, (so was late for work) and spilled my coffee all over me as I was getting out of my car. I needed to chill when I got home and this set is helping alot. Thanks Z-Bear😊

[@48zeke]

This is a great reminder to how good the music was in the 70's no screaming, violence and anger... songs with a story and you can understand the lyrics.. ride your bike to the record store take your album home and listen to both sides twice because the whole album was so good... You nailed it sistah!

[@imbwildrd3693]

I totally get what you're saying, but I must say, a lot of those songs were pretty creepy.... "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones: "She's just sixteen years old Leave her alone, they say Separated by fools Who don't know what love is yet But I want you to know If I could fly, I'd pick you up I'd take you into the night And show you a love Like you've never seen, ever seen" yikes

I know all this music thanks to my mom best of times!!

[@livingthedreaminiloilophil1705]

My very first album I bought as a kid was a K-tel album. I saw the ad on tv and begged my parents to get it. I had to give up my allowance but it was worth it. I believe the album was called Rock On. I was in the 6th back in 1977. Great set, brings back great memories 😊

[@TroyHoward-id6wx]

Thankyou, inmuchas your... ("COMMENT")!!! 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I WAS A SEVENTH GRADER... THANKYOU, INMUCHAS THE MEMORIES GOOD AND, ("BAD")!!! INMUCHAS MEMORIES CANT ALWAYS BE GOOD ONE'S... THAT'S WHY IT'S... ("MEMORIES")!!!

[@choppersports]

Ktel albums were the best because they were very affordable for a young kid with a allowance

[@markduykers6603]

My little sister may have had same album! I was also in 6th grade then. David Essex - Rock On was my all time fave! ;)

[@Uwill49]

[@loboblue5441]

Just a total blast from my past

[@youren8]

OMG. I'm so glad you played the Dobie Gray and not the Uncle Cracker version of that song!

[@VillaVybes]

Yes indeed. The Dobie Gray is hard to beat. Mahalo for appreciating the awesomeness of that original version.

[@brendajohnson622]

Thanks so much for appreciating the great music we had in those days. 😊

[@MrBigyellowtaxi]

Mixed in these mixes, I find sooo many songs that I forgot! Sooo many I now sing at karaoke!

[@VillaVybes]

Cool! You totally got the vybe we were going for on this video. K-Tel albums were always like what you described. "20 Amazing Hits" usually meant 10 actual current top hits and 10 lesser hits or even non hits the record companies hoped could still make their way up the charts somehow.

[@MrBigyellowtaxi]

A lot of B-sides were great!

[@alancochrane1289]

Those K-Tel albums were very popular when I was growing up here in New Brunswick, Canada. It also put some of our Canadian bands like Chilliwack on the same record as big international stars. This is the music I grew up with and I love how you've put them together, playing them on vinyl and dancing... Cheers!

[@weenbag]

That high voltage record was my first album ever! Thank you for dj ing while I work! Super fabulous.

I started collecting K-Tel albums in the 80's and managed to fill a milk crate full of mint condition titles and preserved them in protective sleeves. I found quite a few while living on Oahu at "Jelly's" To me,they're priceless.

And love the little video snippets of you dancing along, so obviously enjoying yourself.

My best time to listening all these songs of my teens times is in the morning under a tree and watching small birds eating for 2 or 3 hours. Now that winter is practically showing in TX in the north is good to be out listening these greatest songs of our past. I would like she sometimes place song of Elvis or other great singer that created the Rock and Roll Era.😢😊

Aloha. Wow, how lucky were you? You must have been exposed to a plethora of amazing music! 🎶

[@stevemurphy233]

Hey Z-Bear. Not sure if you knew this ... but K-Tel released totally different vinyls in Canada (where I'm from) than the ones they released in the States, Some of the names of the Canadian albums were "Sound Explosion" and "Hit Machine" (among others). They had songs like "Sky High" (by Jigsaw... a "one song see ya later group"); and "Philadelphia Freedom" (as you know by Elton John). The only album our countries that I see we have in common is "DYNAMITE - 20 Original Hits - 20 Original Stars". If you could ever dig up "Sound Explosion" ... which has "Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night" ... or "Hit Machine" ... I think your American audience would appreciate those tunes as well. Not trying to tell you what songs you should be playing ... because after all ... you are an absolute MUSIC GODDESS Love You and keep on rockin'.

[@VillaVybes]

Thank you for pointing out those details about K-Tel! Most people don't realize they released records all around the world. We actually have some of those albums from Germany as well as Brazil, UK and of course Canada where the company started. The cool thing is they would add regional songs for each country so there are a bunch different versions out there of every major K-Tel release. The knife sharpener...LOL..yep they also sold all types of kitchen trinkets in addition to their records and oddball record related accessories.
