Which Song(s) Do You Remember as a Young Child That Still Take You Back to That Happy Place in Time After All These Years?

11 yrs old….first time I heard rockin guitar

Slightly before my time but got heavy airplay through my early years.

It starts out almost out of control, and I like that.

I know what you mean. For me it’s in my nature to be forgiving and trusting but I fight against it because of these days we live in. It’s crushing to know that innocence even in a child does not last. But we know now when we remember and look back that some of that love, hope and empathy still remains in us

My grandmother had my mother’s old 45 of the Beatles with I Want To Hold Your Hand on one side and Strawberry Fields Forever on the other side.

"Sweet Emotion"- Aerosmith *I thought they were singing "sea/motion" because the intro sounded like a beach and shells and waves to me

"Devil Woman" - Cliff Richard (That chord progression over "With Evil on her mind" whoa, mind blowing....also misheard lyric "With evil autumn eyes")

And a 3-pack:

Black Dog
Don't Bring Me Down
Heart of Glass

Honorable Mention : Rock and Roll All Night

Embarassed to say: Neil Diamond, Tom Jones, Shaun Cassidy and Kenny Rogers

It's a long story, almost anything Nat King Cole, but particularly this one from about the time I was 6 (1959) years old. A simpler time... a metaphor for happiness at a time when I was healing my heart. I didn't even know it at the time.

Take your time in no hurry.

Nice!!

My grandmother introduced me to classic pop songs. Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts was one of her favorites. She had stacks and stacks of 45's. All good stuff. She was a big Beatles fan too.

It is OK to include songs from when you were slightly older like 11-13 years. I posted a couple earlier in the thread.

Here's another great one my parents played often, mostly for us kids benefit I imagine.

Every young child should listen/be exposed to this one!

Always Michael....

This song brings me back to the cool seventies.. what a time.

This one also connects me to my Dad. Miss you so much.

brings back memories of being in the back seat of my Dad's car

Well sir you have nice taste.

I was hired to babysit him in Ridgefield Ct.
He was a ummm like Biden.he would be talking things i had no idea what about. Here is something you may not know.He lived in Ct and his backup guitarist was doing all the heavy heating. VERY talented man behind the curtain. But when you sat him in his chair and he played highway 61 it was like someone turned on a switch.
I was lucky to meet him thanks to his wife as she liked me i helped him to his bus and bring all his equep..No lie his fingers where like shit long.!!!

Derick Trucks was there but not his current wife Susan tadusky.??.I have bounced Trucks before.The dude NEVER speaks.

Boston the entire album

Almost anything Berle Ives put out on his Little Engine that Could album. That song, and The Little White Duck/Sow Got the Measles were my favs.

memories of a new wave

Amazing musicians.!! like off the album.

But they had no showmanship.

Bounced them as well in Hartford ct XL .sound amazing but boring.And they never seem to click.Money and go.

Downtown Petula Clark

Westminster Cathedral

Bewitched Theme Song

Enchanted Melody

Twist Again by Chubby Checkers

Can’t remember the others but they’d be playing on the radio on Saturday afternoons as I drove around with my parents running errands. Circa 1965

I don't need a whole lots of money
I don't need a big fine car
I got everything that a man could want
I got more than I could ask for
And I don't have to run around
I don't have to stay out all night
'Cause I got me a sweet, a sweet loving woman
And she know just how to treat me right
… Oh, my baby, she's alright
Oh, my baby's clean out of sight
Don't you know that she's?
She's some kind of wonderful
She's some kind of wonderful
Yes, she is, she is
She's some kind of wonderful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
… When I hold her in my arms
You know she sets my soul on fire
Oh, when my baby kisses me
My heart becomes filled with desire
When she wraps her loving arms around me
It 'bout drives me out of my mind
Yeah, when my baby kisses me
Chills run up and down my spine
… Oh, my baby, she's alright
Oh, my baby's clean out of sight
Don't you know that she is?
She's some kind of wonderful
She's some kind of wonderful
Yes, she is
She's some kind of wonderful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
… Now is there anybody
Got a sweet little woman like mine?
There's got to be somebody
Got a, got a sweet little woman like mine
… Yeah, now can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Oh, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
… I'm talking, talking 'bout my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby, my baby, my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Talking about my baby, my baby, my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, my baby, my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
Talking 'bout my baby, my baby, my baby
(She's some kind of wonderful)
