The 60’s and 70’s was the greatest time for all genres of music!

Amazing how all of these were a part of my childhood.

@melliehobson8299 14 күн бұрын

I was four in '68 and remember and love most of these well. My little sister was born in '68. This Guy's in Love? Hello I love You? Hey Jude? Honey? Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay? Mrs Robinson? I still remember every lyric.

I was 18 when those great songs were on the charts. Loved every one of them, danced to them and knew all the lyrics. Music is life’s best gift. It can take you back to a place, a time and a special person.

@artmoss6889 Ай бұрын

That's definitely "The Friends of Distinction" in the video clip, and their cover came out in 1969, not 68.

@andreb.thomas5926 Ай бұрын

No. "Grazin' in the Grass" was originally performed by South African trumpeter, fulgehornist, etc. Hugh Masekela...in 1968. The Friends of Distinction (lyrics written by FoD lead singer, Harry Elston) covered it for a hit...in 1969. Chao. Retired Vietnam era veteran, ex Detroiter, expatriate currently living in México and Colombia.

@andreb.thomas5926 I believe the o.p. was pointing out that the video clip was of Friends of Distinction and misidentified as Hugh.

@ellacobb6872 25 күн бұрын

"Honey" i miss you. I adored that song as a child. It would bring tears to my eyes. Now, after being widowed for 5 yrs, after being married for 35 yrs, i feel as a small child that i experienced some of the pain then, that i would in the future. Widowhood is hard. I'd probably cry if i heard that entire song again.

I like 7 songs out of 10 songs that were picked out for this TikTok including: The Beatles' "Hey Jude"; Paul Mauriat's Love Is Blue"; Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"; The Rascals' "People Got To Be Free"; Herb Albert's "This Guy's In Love With You"; Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs Robinson"; Hugh Masekela's "Grazin' In The Grass". I also like most songs of that era, year, decade and of course most songs of yesteryear..

Grazing in the grass was number one by Hugh Masekela, as an Instrumental in 1968. The Friends of Distinction version you showed here was from 1969, and peaked at number 3 , I believe.

It’s not that they were two versions of the same song, they are two completely different songs, one being an instrumental. The author of this video has mixed up the two “Grazing in the Grass” songs.

@clementjohnson2666 28 күн бұрын

@@berwick777 No , the fact of the matter is they "were" two versions of the same song !!!! The melody was exactly the same just the tempo was different .... and of course with regards to the version by T.F.O.D. their version had lyrics where as Hugh Masekala's did not .

@berwick777 27 күн бұрын

@@clementjohnson2666 all these years I thought they were two completely different songs. So after reading your post I went onto KZfaq and listened to both songs over and over again, and I STILL can’t hear the same melody. So I then checked what Wikipedia said and it is in fact the same song. Why I can’t hear it I have no idea.

The only thing I want to know is why you would show the Friends Of Distinction in place of Hugh Masekela for grazing in the grass. For one it's downright misleading. And two, t's pretty damn disrespectful To Hugh Masekela, (may God rest his soul).😢😢😢😢😢😢
