During the 1940's, elements began to emerge from backwoods juke joints, southern gospel churches, main street county fairs, and muddy delta hamlets. Flourishing during the 1950's and early 1960's, a new musical style was forged bearing the label of "rock & roll". However, as the music style began to wane in the U.S., the ever rebellious youth latched on to the 1964 "British invasion" that changed the music scene. However, a new wave of American musicians laid the groundwork for a new creative renaissance in popular music during the late 1960's & 1970's. Finally, the 1980's capped off four decades of the most diversified music in modern history. Each produced unique vocal, lyric, instrumental, dance styles, and reflected changing social, political and world events. The music was influenced technology, lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language as well. "My" personal choices are only some of the MANY artists and songs that helped write the history of those amazing decades.
Baby It's You - Smith 1969
"Baby It's You", by American rock band Smith, reached the #5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. It features Gayle McCormick, an accomplished female blue-eyed soul belter, as lead vocals. Smith's version appeared on their debut album A Group Called Smith in 1969. The single was their first and most successful release. This version alters the traditional 1961 vocal arrangement as performed by The Shirelles in favor of a more belted, soulful vocal. The song was used in Quentin Tarantino's movie Death Proof. The group was discovered by 1960s singer/songwriter Del Shannon, in a nightclub in Los Angeles, who managed and produced the song even though none of the band members had ever heard of it before.

I had a wonderful Mary Hill in Summer 1965. I left town for college and she stayed in town. No rich man to take her away, although she could have waited for one. She had bad luck with men thereafter.
Incredible voice!
Signs Song by Five Man Electrical Band And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people Need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat And I went in to ask him why He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man I think you'll do" So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that Huh, me workin' for you" Whoa Sign, sign Everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery Breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign? And the sign said "Anybody caught trespassin' Will be shot on sight" So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house "Hey! What gives you the right To put up a fence to keep me out But to keep Mother Nature in? If God was here, he'd tell you to your face 'Man, you're some kind of sinner'" Sign, sign Everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery Breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign? Now, hey you, mister, can't you read? You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat You can't even watch, no, you can't eat You ain't supposed to be here The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card To get inside" Uh And the sign said "Everybody welcome Come in, kneel down and pray" But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and a paper And I made up my own little sign I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me I'm alive and doin' fine" Woo! Sign, sign Everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery Breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that Can't you read the sign? Sign, sign Everywhere a sign Sign
Evokes sad memories for those who said " Farewell " but never returned. Most of those KIA were fresh out of High School. My heart goes out to those who were left here waiting their return.😢
I have always loved this song. I was a teenager in the '60s and my hair is still down to my shoulders.

Still brings back bittersweet memories. It was 1967, I was 15, he was 18, and leaving for college. He wanted to marry me then and there, I got scared. We wrote almost daily, he called when he had the money or called collect. Oh how I hated hearing the operator interrupt, telling him to deposit another coin. I ended up breaking it off that winter. He even hitchhiked home to beg me not to. I was young and foolish, didn’t realize how he truly loved me. married, he asked me to leave my (then) husband and marry him, but I felt I had to stay in the marriage. Divorced, and married the second love of my life. I’m so very blessed to have had two men who truly love(d) me. My first husband not so much. You never forget your first love. 💛

I remember back in the early '70s you could get an ass stopping for long hair especially in the so-called Bible Belt you would hear the phrase is it a woman or a man a lot back then

He kept on doing that for another 60 years. i assume he slowed down in his 80s. But Keith Richards didn't, so maybe Chuck kept doing it for another 70 years.
I thought it was so cool that they used Boogie Shoes in the soundtrack for the movie, Boogie Nights. That song brings me right back there...and always lifts me up if I'm feeling down!😂
"Daddy G" was the saxophone great Gene Barge. His band was named the "Church Street Five." And that's them on the recording.
My drunk teacher used to sing this to our class in high school. The song popped into my head tonight. He was a good guy. I wonder what happened to him.
Im 76. Grew up listening to Pipeline. 😊
