Do y'all know Diana over at "Nana Diana Takes A Break"  thenanadiana.blogspot.com

Well, the past few weeks she's been doing these fun posts

 about things we ladies from the "groovy far-out" 

generation remember! 


Its been alot of fun looking back and reminiscing with all 

the readers and remembering our old styles,

 favorite perfumes and beauty products, and the like. 


On late night tv the other night I happened upon this

 "Time Life" commercial featuring alot of our music

 from back in the day. It was the middle of the night,

 I was wide awake and my trusty camera was right


 near-by..........so I started photographing



I sure enjoyed seeing and hearing all these old groups!


 How many do you remember?

Joe Cocker recently passed didn't he?

Sly and the Family had some great hits! Really got ya
 dancing!

Check out those bright orange leisure suits with yellow

 satin shirts! Remember "leisure suits"

Now THAT picture is just plain psychadelic and weird isn't it? LOL ha ha

but as i recall, so was that SONG! HA

Oh that was a nice song by the Young Rascals! What 

other hits did they have, anybody remember?

Satin sure must've been the thing.........he appears

 to be in hot pink satin!

Well, gosh...........of course, here is the explanation...

.there's a hit song called "nights in white satin".

 I loved that song!

Who sang along with Arlo Guthrie?

I loved all of the Byrds songs!

This was a cute little toe-tapping song. I would've never remembered who sang it until I saw it on the informercial, how bout you?

Oh I loved this song, how bout y'all?

Remember sweet Melanie? I loved her "brand new Key"


 song too! Did you used to sing along with Melanie?

ha ha....this picture kind of explains it all, LOL.....remember

 the big hit song "Hair"? OH gosh I loved that song! that

 was the Cowsills, right? I had that album. 



I remember reading many years later that the "Partridge 


Family" tv show was based on


the real life singing family singing group, the Cowsills.

 Anyone else know?

I'm just not sure WHAT is going on in that above picture!

 LOL

Who IS THAT? check out the love beads! and shades!

Oh of COURSE! Its the Lemon Pipers......singing 

Green Tambourine!

 the sunshine in" song!!!


 such a fun song to sing along with! Check out those

 rainbow hued

stage costumes y'all!

any Bob Dylan fans out there?

Santana had alot of great hits on our radios!

Does anyone remember when Elton John looked like this?



 Gosh I do! I still can sing all his songs by heart especially 

Yellow Brick Road

. I remember when he would wear all these big

and flashy glasses at his concerts.

 What is your favorite Elton

John song? I loved "Your Song"  and 

"goodby norma jean" even 

before  he turned it into 

"English Rose" for Princess Diana's memory song.

Did y'all love Linda? I loved her pretty voice.

EVERYBODY can probably sing along with this song,

right? Carly STILL HASN'T revealed who she wrote

that for has she? My take is Warren Beatty!

Another sixties songbird with a beautiful voice! 

i LOVED THIS SONG!

THIS is what you get if you call the number on your screen!

BUT WAIT!! call in the next 16 minutes and get THIS TOO..

HA HA HA

LOOKS LIKE WOODSTOCK TO ME!

"if you're going to San Francisco....be sure to wear some


FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR.....

any of you ever turn this song up real loud on a

long road trip? OOOOPs, no, that was "born to

be wild"!! lol

the voices on this hit were just so beautiful! Did y'all

sing along?

Not too many songs more 'trippy hippie' than

 Iron Butterfly's

big hit! Remember the loud organ?

oh gosh! the Grass Roots had some great albums!

and this was a cool song, do you remember it? Did they 
other hits?

hey, there's Santana again! Does anyone know.
...
am I remembering this right, but does Carlos Santana

or one of the band members actually have a line

of PURSES out now on maybe QVC or HSN? I am

almost certain I saw/read this somewhere?

I think everybody can sing along with this big hit too!

I LOVE THIS SONG!

This was a great hit too.......did they have others, 

anyone remember?

this was a great band,and a great song too....hey did

a whiter shade of pale have anything to do with

the moody blues' nights in white satin'???

the hosts of the show.....I think it was Tommy James

from the Shondells........and I dont know who the lady was


except that I did not recognize her name. Check out her

cool and groovy fashion....bell bottoms, big platforms,and

her embroidered peasant hippie blouse. Oh...and her 

pretty 'feathered' hairstyle.

Who liked Cat Stevens?

I could never name all their hits..........there were

so many! I did love Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl!

I LOVED MY MONKEES!!!

ago, wasn't it? The rest are still with us, right?

MONKEES FANS...WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

this was a happy and fun song!! Reminds me of

white go-go boots and mini skirts every time!

I think I had every Deep Purple album they made

and this was a cool song. Really made you think.
