When I was a little kid, in the late 60's/early 70's, I had this little 45rpm record. It packed a PUNCH musically, with some mean Sax!

Orinda Sue "Rindy" Ross from 1981 wasn't bad.

Was this on the list ... ...
I was jamming back in the late 70's to Motown songs like this ...
I grew up in Kokomo In. ... about a hour south of Gary In. where the Jackson's grew up ...
Dad was a auto worker and Mom was a Hair Stylist ...
Music like these songs helped Me and My Sister get thru the cold winters. ... We had a unfinished basement with a console record player ... We would act like We were the band and bang on pot's and pan's while listening to the Music ... Shame that they have turned the "Top Forty" into what they have ...

Oh my!! I played this constantly back in the day!!! Awesome! TY, OP!!!

Sweet

It's got a good beat and you can dance to it

Who can forget the great...

FREDDIE MITCHELL AND HIS ORCHESTRA, 1955. THE MOST AMAZING SAXOPHONE PLAYING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC.


The entry reads

A shy, retiring and extremely private man, tenor saxophonist Freddie Mitchell's personality was in direct conflict with his on-stage persona. During the hours he appeared onstage nightly he was transformed into a raving wild-man ; mirroring the histrionics of such peers as Illinois Jacquet, Arnett Cobb and Gatortail Jackson, Mitchell would stomp, shuffle and sway to the rhythm of his band while blowing his own white-hot solos.

He was already 37 years old when he performed on "Preachin"

I had "Hey Hey What Can I DO"? on a 45.

I recorded it to cassette tape & took it to college with me.

Yes! My brothers & I used to listen to The Monkees! LOL

My favorite Monkees song wasn't even a hit but it was some great blue grass rock by Mike Nesmith, Papa Gene's Blues

Awesome fuzzy bass sound.

Man, i can't imagine how it must've been to grow up in this time.

Analog sounds so much better than digital, no comparison. I only listen to vinyl, and if I buy a 180 gram LP have to make sure the reissued pressing label was made from the originals, some will press from digital copies, no good!

This is probably the coolest song you'll ever hear.

geezuzz 105, you like sucking bandwidth?

In 8th grade I was in charge of buying records for the cafeteria jukebox. I bought the usual top 40 pablum like the Beach Boys, 5th Dimension, Diana Ross and the Supremes, etc.

However, my own tastes in music were more eclectic. One of my first albums was Frank Zappa. Of course the Stones, Beatles and any band with horns in them were early albums. I particularly love the White album to this day.

don't think you can ever go wrong with zappa

There was a disk Jockey in Milwaukee who said the radio station burned down and the only record that was saved was Raunchy & he played it over & over on his shift.

This should qualify.
George Gerdes, from his album Son Of Obituary

I was born in 1960 and when I was about 6or 7, someone gave my dad a 45 with about 3minutes of someone farting and crapping on a toilet to background music. I can't remember who the "artist" was, but that record was famous in my neighborhood for a couple years. Boys and grown men all thought it was hilarious.

You used to be able to go in a booth and record on what was a rubbery record, that would play on record player. I know they had one in Atlantic City boardwalk back then.

Here it is!
