Lorraine Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) The name of the band escapes me, but they had a lot of hits in the late sixties/early seventies. The only one that comes to mind right now is "Come On Down To My Boat." Also, The Easy Beats: Friday On My Mind. Then we had The Buckinghams that had lots of hits too. A lot more simple times. We were a lot happier too. Or so it seemed. Edited August 12, 2015 by Lorraine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 A lot more simple times. We were a lot happier too. Or so it seemed. Yes, much simpler and slower-paced. And more innocent, to be sure. The upheavals of the late '60s began a huge change in the our innocence and idealism...but I probably shouldn't say a whole lot about that, as I wasn't even born yet. But I remember even in the late 1970s, things were so much easier and simpler and exponentially more innocent than the way things are today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 and i don't care what ANYONE says. Technology has made people colder. Mick i agree. Very little genuine warmth anymore. Or caring. Technology is helpful in many ways, but has all of it been worth it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I like the Righteous Brothers. Good voices on those guys! I remember when Unchained Melody enjoyed newfound popularity in about 1990 because it was on the soundtrack to the movie Ghost. It started getting a lot of radio airplay on pop stations again, and everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that too, although I was proud at the time to tell the bandwagoners, "Oh, I've already known this song for years." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
