This is  very representative of early to mid 60's U.S. radio music. After the British invasion this style  was pretty marginalized and mostly popular with select groups as in the lowriders ( note Mexican flag on this 40's car. I was curious did ya all have an equivalent early - mid 60's music in the U.K. that was likewise wiped out from Beatles & Rolling Stones ?

Greasers were another of those groups.  Funny, but by the late 60's there were "oldies" radio stations playing music that, in some cases, wasn't even 10 years old.

50's music has for the most part died out, I think.  Along with bow ties.  Yet it, along with blues, was the inspiration and source material for so many British bands that followed in the 60's.

 

A great song in any era.

Nothin' like slow dancin' to music like this at a sock hop with a gal you want to get really really close to (heavy breathin').

the dude's talkin' about the brits that would have similar influences before 'the british invasion' in the US early 60s...I'd say that a lot of what the brits call 'northern soul' was influenced by pre stones and beatles music in the US...just listen to the sound track for American Graffiti and old Wolfman Jack to get an idea...sort of pre motown too...

 

 

when I was in the band we backed up the leader's fabulously sluttish sister whaling on this one...tutsi on bass and doo whopping as vocal backup...the sister looked like Amy Winehouse at her best and had the same stage moves but not the voice unfortunately...her name was Innocencia but she was called Ginzi and she was fabulous...she was older than us and her boyfriend was a badass and had the most elaborate pompadour I had ever seen...

 

greaser heaven although I was a surfer...

Re-discovered after it was an answer on Radio 2 PopMaster.

Such a wonderful melody.

John Kay and Steppenwolf- what a band.

I like this;

 

 

 

The music and the lyrics appeal to my anarchistic streaks.

 

Also, wife of a friend of mine,

she has a Dr degree in music (not a cheap Phd but a real Dr degree) she opines that

this tune is the best rock tune ever

she can actually muster some fairly convincing mathematical evidence to support that view

 

whatever, I do enjoy this tune

 

 

[bannork]

Always loved that thick guitar sound Steppenwolf had, Les Pauls?

Rory Gallagher's band Taste live at the Isle of Wight in '70 performing Sugar Mama.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

I'm Moving On by Taste off their eponymous '69 debut.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Long John Baldry with his classic Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King Of Rock & Roll from his '71 It Ain't Easy LP.  I never owned the record so it was always a huge treat for me whenever it was played on FM radio.  I eventually bought the CD just to possess this song (pre-YT days).

Aphrodite's Child's by The Four Horsemen from their '72 666 LP.

Funny how tastes change over time.  Mine have most definitely expanded.  I enjoy a lot of music now that I'd never consider listening to when I was a long-haired, pot-smoking, acid-taking, beer-drinking, free-lovin', all-around degenerate hippie.  On the other hand, there's music that I listened to then that now makes me wanna stick my fingers in my ears.  I bought the first two Uriah Heep LP's when they were released, ...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble (eponymously titled in the U.S.) & Salisbury.  Played both again today and I hadn't listened to them since the early 70's.

 

Both LP's were not my style any longer.  Reminds me too much of heavy metal, which I never got into - too much noise to me.  The only song that I found which I would consider to be a keeper was Lady In Black off of the '70 Salisbury LP.  Ah, well.

Amazing!!  It just dawned on me that I can't recall anyone ever having posted a single Foreigner song.  I congratulate you all on your good taste!!  

 

Foreigner was one of those bands that we termed "commercial music."  You wouldn't get caught dead owning one of their LP's.  No, no, no.  I probably would have lost most of my friends.  I did kinda, sorta like one of their songs just a wee bit at the time.

 

I can't believe I'm posting this after all these years!  LOL  (Don't tell a soul, guys!!)

Beck, Bogert, & Appice doing Morning Dew live in Santa Monica May '73.  Beck's a well-respected guitarist in my book.

Well it looks as if I'm going to be in your "bad books" because I liked some of the Foreigner stuff!!

– Love (especially their Forever Changes LP).
– John Miles
– Journey
– Traffic (and others by Stevie Wynward)
– King Crimson
– early Elton John stuff
– Led Zepplin
– Meatloaf
