Poster Comment: Amusing initial comment/observation alongs with follow up reaction/comments to this as well as throughout the thread. Thanks to YouTube, young generations are listening/watching older music and are witness to good tunes, (relative) innocence, and care-free times. Of further note: The same performer here (Tony Burrows) also performed 'My Baby Loves Loving' (1970), 'United We Stand' (1970), and 'Beach Baby' (1974) for four different phantom "groups." (Yeah, it's all Bubble Gum, and...I'm blowing a yuge bubble right now)

I can dig it. Great song, great chicks. I remember listening to this all the time on L.A. Top-40 radio, but have never seen this video. Nice asses.
70s were a great time for pop music, I like the pop stuff from that era, thanks for posting this song. A couple of other songs I remember.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I remember listening to this all the time on L.A. Top-40 radio, but have never seen this video. Catchy ditty, wasn't it? And yeah -- the ladies MOVE. Remember at about that time ('70-/'71) when hot pants were in? It really was unfair to normal guys. Those visions are still seared into my mind from during 8th grade. /NOT John Kerry I hadn't seen that vid before either. That's one of the cool things about YouTube -- hidden gems from 20-40-50 years ago FINALLY get seen & heard. Nice asses. Glad you enjoyed it as well as your rating system. During this bogus charade we desperately need distractions and reminders that life was once...NORMAL. (btw -- there azzes and legs in the vid? Sonuva ;-P
A couple of other songs I remember. The 70s were great, weren't they? I tried analyzing what KO'd that early 70s great lyrical story-telling, sentimentality, innocence, idealism, and out-right fun of the early 70s pop (like 3 Dog Night, Grass Roots, Lobo, Bread, Jim Croce); Seems to me it was a combination of factors, and tell me what you think... Glam (gay) Your three great classics: Sure, Looking Glass was a one-hit-wonder, but 'Brandy' was lyrical and musical pop genius that still endures. That the younger gen likes it sez a lot about it. 'The Guess Who' pumped out an amazing catalog in just 3 years ('69-'71). 'No Sugar Tonight' was really good; It's like two songs in one. Had their "Best of" album -- every single track is excellent. That's rare. (a year and a half later Randy Bachman forms BTO and crushes it again.) Jim Croce, 'Operator' from '72 -- I remember watching that performance live. Croce's old school, sentimental story telling with a pair of acoustics was beautiful. I recall hearing about his plane crash in '73 in school... Just as he was about to hit it big.
Here's the same exact guy (Tony Burrows) from 'Edison Lighthouse's 'My Baby Loves Lovin' fronting yet another fictional band, 'White Plains,' doing 'My Baby Loves Love'. That's two "One-Hit Wonders" within a year. Same guy also did 'Beach Baby' from 1974.
Completely under-rated guitarist. One of my favorite BTO songs:
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching That Thing You Do! (1996) A local Pennsylvania band scores a one hit wonder in 1964 and rides the star-making machinery as long as they can, with lots of help from its manager.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Yeah, Tom Hanks. Have had the DVD for years; don't know if it made it to Blu-ray, have to check. Fun movie, I agree with you. Creative original soundtrack.
Very good song. And yes, he is a good guitarist. I noticed at some angles, he reminded me of Ron White. And at some angles, the bass player reminded me of Kris Kristofferson. LOL Have not had my coffee yet.

One of my favorite BTO songs: First album, right? Randy Bachman could do pop, rock out, jazz -- anything. people say Keef Richards was a riff-meister; Randy Bachman matched him. Nice to see him finally get the recognition he deserves.
Sounds like a great premise for a flick. Can't believe I've never seen it. '64 was pretty much smack dab in the center of the one-hit wonder kinds of things during the 60s and early 70s. Thanks, worth checking out.
I wish he'd get cast for a movie once in a while. I never see him anymore... *quad-eyeball roll*
LOL Have not had my coffee yet. Make it espresso. AND...make it two cups. :-)
I was thinking he looked like Bob Seger. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. In that picture, yes.

Great movie. First time the band plays "That Thing You Do" at a college talent show. Guy, the new drummer starts off the song (which is supposed to be a ballad) too fast, transforming the song into a full blown pop rock gem, and winning the contest. Really cool seeing the vintage gear they use Here's the scene where the band (The Wonders) hears their song on the radio for the first time.

I like nice asses.
And GREAT legs.
I like great legs even better than nice asses.
Thanks!

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

Punk (dysfunction)
New Wave (rogue)
Disco (more gay)
Raunch & Rock & Roll
Beatles (drug-fueled/distorted reality)
'The Guess Who' -- what an amazing, under-rated band...and ahead of their time. Randy Bachman really should be in the R&R Hall of Fame, but that place is a joke.
