Renesoul: You have found one of those people & I listen to the OLDIES when I'm driving anywhere. I can take or leave Country, but I'm a Johnny Cash fan too. In fact all of the GoodOleBoys were the best of the rest. Getting bact to the 60's. Now the one listed by Mel Harris was from the early 60's. Those were guys / girls who could belt out a tune. And the words made sense because they were easy to understand. Didn't have the mic cramed in their mouths. We had 45's or 78's to listen to on our Victrolia's if we were lucy enough to have a record player at all. They were "special" items asked for on birthday's or at Chrstmas. Then teh little transiter radios came on the scene. Wow, we could take our music with us & oh my, the neighbors said that "those kids are just wild." So happy to hear from a young oldies fan. And, yes it does transform me back. Bytheway, I sing to my Great-Grandson & he is a willing listener.One last thing, Leslie Gore, oh yeah, that was a great line for us gals who wanted to let our boyfriends know where they stood any time they thought "THEY COULD & WE COULDN'T"
Hahaha:-)LOVEIT

Yep - still collecting it, still playing it. I recently got into playing B-Sides of my stacks of old 45s - some great undiscovered gems, and relatively scratch-free (since rarely or never played).
Only in the 60s could you have turned on the radio (AM of course) and heard "Strangers in the Night," "Funky Broadway," "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron," & "Ode to Billy Joe" - all in succession.

Hey girl, I love the music from the 60's...they were fun,upbeat, & expressed emotions. I still listen to them today...on CDS or radio, & get the same thrill that I had when I 1st heard them.

Hi Renesoul. I remember all those tunes. Ya know, Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston" were written by a real talent named Jimmy Webb. Webb has a CD called "Ten Easy Pieces" out of himself doing all the songs he wrote and, were made hits by others. Songs include "MacArthur Park," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and other great tunes. It (the CD) is just Jimmy Webb and his piano. Breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for reminding me,
Michael.
