The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.

It was a War, Santana, Grand Funk Railroad, The Temptations, The Supremes, James Brown, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Tiny Tim?

Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and a little Jene Autry.

Hi-yo silver, and Mister Green Jeans was cool.. SO???

Dave Clark 5? I don’t think so.. BB King, Little Richard maybe the Everly Brothers..

I forgot Creedence Clearwater Revival.. Mercy that was a main stay, the heart of rock and roll, Led Zeppelin too..

Lawrence Welk was my grandmothers stuff.. She loved him..

Give me a break. BLUES is an American thing, Everyone else just learned how to play the blues. As a kid in the south in the 50-60s. Blues were a real heart felt "THING" from across the tracks.

Just so you know most of the counties in that area were DRY. The Juke Joints in the sticks were visited by ALL. Liquor and music flowed like water. Muddy Water at that. :-)

I worked on a 55 acre wood farm as a kid in Alabama. Music use to fill the areas from Wednesday - Sunday.  Rag time, gospel, Bayou Blues, some Rock a Billy, like Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jerry Lee, Mavis, Willie Thornton, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins.

Soul was being formed at the time. You could hear it...

James Brown.. Mercy he WAS the hardest working CAT in the business..
Still listen to JB. Sex machine, I feel good. Smookin' good..

BUT the Dave Clark 5.. :-) Just kiddin' OP..

I like shuffle dancin' too.

Not in the Bay area. It was War, Santana, James Brown, The Temptations, The 4 Tops, Sly Stone, Janis Joplin, Elvis, The Doors even Bob Dylan, but The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and even the Beach Boys took a back seat to the one's I just mentioned..

You were a little funky if you listened to The Who, to tell the truth..

Weird one Elton John came on like gang busters the late 60s in my little town.. (I think it was still the 60s).. I always thought it strange he was so popular in a Cool and the Gang, & Sly and the family Stones town..
