Great video! I turned 16, got my first car and "discovered" girls!!! 1970 was a fantastic turning point in my life. Take me back, please!

[thomasahern]

A lot of memories. Turned 16 in 1970, born and raised in So Cal. got a VW Bug, tricked it out and naturally started cruising Van Nuys Blvd!! a lot of fun times.

I was seven in 1970. I loved hot wheels cars and the bright orange plastic tracks that you could piece together all over the house. I had a Flip Wilson/Geraldine Jones doll I got for christmas. You pulled a string on the doll and it would say funny Geraldine classic phrases like "The devil made me buy this dress"..My stepdad had a pickup truck with an 8-track stereo system and a bumper sticker on the rear bumper that said America Love it or Leave it..

I absolutely love your channel it brings back so many good memories that had been forgotten!

[tdsilverado]

I loved the 70s ... It would be nice to have that kind of life today. It was awesome.

[sassykaren]

I was only 2 years old in 1970! I do remember the later 70’s and really enjoyed the music of that time. I can’t wait to see the new videos that you are going to make.

[franciscocastaneda]

Thank you for those great memories of the 70s

[glenminnick]

I'm such a fan of the 70's! This video was awesome! Thanks for bringing back some great memories!!!

[cheaplaughkennedy]

Took me back if only for a moment, I remember well, beautiful, just wish I could return for a while .

[eddieboggs]

70's will never be topped. When music peaked. After 70's it began a down hill slide.

[basshunter]

My best thing was I meet a very beautiful Brunette on 9/13/79, went out 9/15/79 and we have been together ever since. Married 8/30/83 and 3 kids since and we are still together. I think her mini skirts had a lot to do with it, boy I sure miss them.

[vicariousgamer]

I was 8 years young on this year. I think that it was 1972 when Monty Python showed up on PBS in San Antonio TX. This show saved my life LOL. I was 16 when I got my 1st muscle car, a used metal flake green Challenger, forget the year of it's make. Young and dumb, I loved being a kid in the 70's. Lots of firsts for me in that decade. Mom was head of the switch line dept. for Southwestern bell then.

[danbaumann]

Even though I was just a kid I could name all the muscle cars. I tried to convince my dad get the purple station wagon we took a test drive in...that was purple..with a 427...He didn't go for it. 🤣 I remember those fringe jackets. A few people I knew had them. I thought they were cool. 🤣 And they kinda were. 😐 🤣 A very good decade. Great channel.

[markbrown]

[tonymercer]

Born in 61 I have only good memories of the 70s and 80s, when we were' truly free and rich.

[sergiojacquez]

Things were simpler than for sure, except without today’s technology. I was only 11 I. 1970 but my better memories were late 70s when I turned 20 in 1979 and was blessed to buy my dream car. It’s a 73 Pontiac Trans am that I still own to this day and I’m now 62 years old. God bless all and God bless America, peace to all 🙏

[markgerken]

I graduated from high school then and remember the music very well

[geemanone]
