That 70s show – Tonight 1970
Tonight we go back to where it all began. The Goodies debut was around 1970 and a couple of samples of the craft. Phoenix 5 is the third in the trilogy of sci-fi’s jointly produced by Channel 7 and the ABC.

Eckythump – the Goodies
Good sing along songs in this selection. I got to thinking about how much pleasure The Beatles gave us with their easy to singalong songs. Huzza The King. Might I put in a request here for his version sometime of O, my Papa , Algy.
See what I can do for you then Shoe. And thanks for your support.
Good on ya, for keeping this up Algy; in the face of all the recent jumble.
Some good music here. I confess to not playing all of them, but that is because of the YOU Tube format: stopping and starting another.
In some ways it would be better if you made record and played them all in a line–with an introduction. Like Wolfman Jack, with a little tale attached to each song.
Just kidding!!
My kids doted on The Goodies, BTW.
Why don’t you confess to being a…..
We can only thank God that you are just kidding
Thanks Vectis, I understand Waz is back soon though. I’ll keep going until he does.
Loved The Goodies, the English do comedy so well…
I read an article about Rod Stewart ,who by the way is coming to Australia. Rod is 67, and still has a personal trainer, according to Stewart it’s important to have strong legs. His Scottish carpenter dad thought that if you have strong legs you can get out the chairs without relying on your arms…LOL
Handy hint that eh.
Thank you H.
Love Grows was the first song I heard on arrival in London. It was very catchy.
Bridge Over Troubled Waters – the whole album – was a Christmas present I received. I was in London and it hadn’t snowed until Christmas eve – woke up to find everything white on Christmas Day.
Yellow River was the first record I owned.
Much popular music has a short self life, others linger fo a long while. Nearly all these were top 20 in the US, UK and here in 1970. Quite unlike the rest of the 1970′s. Many fav’s here.
May I ask whose selection this is…is it Algernon’s or Hung’s, I don’t see alge’s name, so I assume it’s Hung’s…
Oops , I checked and saw alge at the bottom..sorry.Maybe it ought to be at the top
Yes its mine Helvi, others need to put the post up for me.
Nice songs by The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.. to the rest of them later…
Many nice ones here Helvi. The Elton johns are my indulgence.
I saw Karen Carpenter live in concert. She was great. Her brother okay too. Many thanks for Lola and Venus.
She had a good voice didn’t she. I had Venus picked out before your post last week just had my dates mixed up. The style is quite different I think to the end of the decade. I hink popular music now wouild differ little from that in 2002.
Karen’s voice was like no other at the time. Two other women since have come close to her clarity and wonder. Mary Chapin-Carpenter, the other would be KD Lang (but I think she is going off now). There is a third but I can’t think of her name.
