That 70s Thread

Jet · 04-08-2010, 09:47 PM

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....

ah..the Doobie Brothers..GREAT!

Jet · 04-28-2010, 06:51 PM

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..

I graduated from a rural high school in 1976
(small class: out of 72 of us, 12 of us attended together from 1st -12th grades)

... I love the music of the 70s ...

cinderella · 06-08-2010, 08:14 AM

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.

Jet · 06-08-2010, 07:31 AM

Me and Mrs. Jones

Dig the Philly sound of Billy Paul in '72

cinderella · 06-08-2010, 07:51 AM

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!

Jet · 07-03-2010, 01:34 PM

Hall & Oates
At time I lost my first love.

Chancie · 07-03-2010, 01:59 PM

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.

Zappa and Mothers of Invention

Dinah Moe Humm

I can't believe we used to listen this shit,
it was so obnoxious.

I was born in '63 so the 70's were my real formative years. Here in the UK I remember strikes, The Winter of Discontent and man-made fabrics (not to mention the static that goes with them) and being mean, in a big sister way, to my brothers.

Marc was a hero

This woman made me want to play bass and wear leather - I still do both some 36yrs later.

In '74 there began a life long love of Freddie

Totally fell for Julie Covington and was allowed to stay up on a school night to watch Rock Follies
