As a very young combat vet just back from Vietnam, i related to this song when I saw it on Mama’s show. It still brings tears at 73.

I saw this when it was first broadcast. Had been anticipating Cass’ first TV special. This was 1969 and I was only 15 years old. I had first heard of the M&P from my older brother when I was only 12 years old. His record collections had a big impression on me. He had them all, the Beatles, Peter, Paul and Mary, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Aretha, Laura Nyro, etc. I came to love rock & roll through him. I especially became fond of the M&P and collected all their music religiously. I loved their harmonies and thought Cass was awesome. I followed her career thru the years and was heart broken when she passed away much to soon. Since then have followed all these artist and grieved when they passed as well. I had not seen this since actually getting a recording of Cass’ first special Now I have her second special too. I am now a nearly 68 yr old granddaddy and am so very thankful that we have something like You Tube to revisit these amazing moments in music history. To all who put these various artist’s performances out here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

The best music that ever existed most certainly came out in the 1960s, hands down. When, but in the 60s, did you ever find a sacred hymn in the top 10 on the billboard? That was Judy Collins' Amazing Grace sung with voices only - NO instruments at all. These three angels combined their awesome voices and gave fierce competition to the angels without even trying. I miss those days still.

Eddie Black, I think that you're mistaken. He said that his peers were into the rock bands of the day and he wasn't. So,' his message isn't that all of the music then was great, he's talking about folk music. The folk music of the 60's had a huge impact on the culture and politics of the day, still is pretty relevant now. I agree that there are many young artists and groups that write and play incredibly good music. But so many are electronically enhanced that they are devoid of any meaning. It's about the genre not the time period.
