I remember pulling the 6 to midnight shift at a black radio station.
It wasn't called urban back then, just black radio. Folks in the african american community kept the lines busy all night with requests and the later it got in the evening, the more the slow jams poured in by request. A hot summer night and folkd on the north side of the city jammed on every parking lot and street corner to have a beer party. The request line would ring and.... "I want to dedicate this to my man" or "how 'bout somethin' sweet for my lady, ya understand?" "Okay, how 'bout the Dramatics tonight? "Yeah, well that's cool. Just keep it sweet and groovin, y'all." And tell my baby it's goin' out to her from Maurice, her main squeeze, you dig?" "I dig, Maurice. It'll come up around 20 after the hour." "Sho' nuff...catch ya all later, and keep the jams slow for my blow...." |

![]() Here's to Paulie. He had a red Porsche. One night, we took it for a spin doing about about 130 in the country and lived to tell about it obviously This is remembering what it was to be daring, loving life as fast as we could and diggin' a lot of music down the highway Here are the Doobie Brothers, one of the best concerts I saw back in the day.... |

![]() Life was grand in the 70s.
I loved and lived for my soul and R&B. I played it as a disc jocky on a black radio station. I was there for 3 years and I never had better music or a better audience hangin' to my show. God I had fun... and I could...do it again.. |

So nice to be put in 'the groove' so early in the day. Now, this IS music!!! Love those 70's jams - soul and R&B at it best!!
Here's my contribution - to me, one of the best. Beyonce made a very good cover, but there's nothing like the original!

One of the best groups to come out of the 70's - The Spinners. They had so many hits - here's one of my favorites.

Lillie, I too lived in the projects in Manhattan - Jacob Riis Projects on the Lower East Side. My mom lived in that apartment for 35 years!! That's where we grew up.
Your post brought back such memories. I grew up in the 50's, way before you were born, and I dare say, more innocent times. But I too had to get in the house before the streetlights went on, I too yelled for change when the Good Humor, or the other one (Mr. Softy?) came 'round. Mom would wrap the change in a small paper bag - no plastic bags then - or a small rag, and throw it down. We used to play Skelly (melted wax in bottlecaps to weight them down), hopscotch, kick-the-can, double-Dutch jumprope, jacks, red-light-green-light one two three, roller skates - the kind that had a key, were all metal, and were very noisy, and so many other games. It was so much fun. No kids I know today do that sort of thing - they're all behind computers now. It's no wonder kids are overweight and out of shape - they sit all day!! Thanks for the memories, Lillie - you made my day!! Quote:

WOW..skelly!..we use to melt crayons into bottle caps...holy shit that seriously was a memory tucked away..I grew up on Staten Island in the Todt Hill Projects....red light green light..mother may I...truth or dare..back when it was innocent..YAH RIGHT..haha...my mom threw down the money and we hunted like crazed animals for those shiny quarters lol...but remember getting halfway there and you heard her voice calling you back...(amazing how no matter where in the projects you were..you heard your momma calling you LOL ) all because she decided she wanted an ice cream too! lol...wow I feel 10 yrs old again..I loved that tim mcgraw song...that was the first time a song truly brought me back to the projects.. ( I will post the lyrics at the end ) My father owned the local laundromat in south beach (staten Island) we use to go down to the south beach rides then run back up the hill to get a dr pepper or orange fanta out of my dads pop machine...and oh my god we thought we died and gone to candy heaven when he put in a candy machine..of course since he owned it..we had the keys..i ate rolo's and drank orange fanta till i puked lol...of course the endless amount of energy and eating honey suckle and picking blueberries on top of the soda and rolo's did not help the belly! LOL
so here is the song that is soooooooo very true!! Don't you remember The fizz in a pepper Peanuts in a bottle At ten, two and four A fried bologna sandwich With mayo and tomato Sittin' round the table Don't happen much anymore We got too complicated It's all way over-rated I like the old and out-dated Way of life Back when a hoe was a hoe Coke was a coke And crack's what you were doing When you were cracking jokes Back when a screw was a screw The wind was all that blew And when you said I'm down with that Well it meant you had the flu I miss back when I miss back when I miss back when I love my records Black, shiny vinyl Clicks and pops And white noise Man they sounded fine I had my favorite stations The ones that played them all Country, soul and rock-and-roll What happened to those times? I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies Cause they put pop in my country I want more for my money The way it was back then Back when a hoe was a hoe Coke was a coke And crack's what you were doing When you were cracking jokes Back when a screw was a screw The wind was all that blew And when you said I'm down with that Well it meant you had the flu I miss back when I miss back when I miss back when Give me a flat top for strumming I want the whole world to be humming Just keep it coming The way it was back then Back when a hoe was a hoe Coke was a coke And crack's what you were doing When you were cracking jokes Back when a screw was a screw The wind was all that blew And when you said I'm down with that Well it meant you had the flu I miss back when I miss back when I miss back when Quote:

I was a teenager in high school in the 1970s.
I used to braid my long hair in about one million little braids right before I went to bed, and When I woke up, my hair would be crimped and wild. I used to wear a leotard with bell bottom pants and wide flat suede shoes. There was an article in the newspaper about how We were all lesbians at the public single sex high school I attended. Obviously girls who care about school must be lesbians. |
