Best, in my opinion, pre disco 70s group, The 5 th Dimension.
A fun trip to the past! Loved that group .. and Marilyn McCoo singing Marry Me Bill ... another good one.

Marilyn McCoo was an angel. I listen to oldies FM and nobody seems to play the 5th Dimension. That Last night I didn't sleep at all song popped into my head while I was driving a company vehicle at work that doesn't have a working radio. I could not get that tune out of my head and I had to utube it when I got home.
The Wedding Bell Blues.

Years ago I spoke to a musician, a young guy who played 80s music and asked him WTF happened to change music into total garbage in the late 1980s. He said that was when synthesizers got really good at reproducing music that had always come from instruments. Suddenly you did not have to be a musician. You did not have to be able to play an instrument.
Not being a musician I had to take his word for it. Post 80s music is the only music I really h**e. I even like music I couldn't stand while growing up. My grandparents always played Lawrence Welk when I was at their house growing up, and it was pure torture. Now I see that it wasn't that bad. I will listen to music in old 1930s movies. I like it all now. It has grown on me.
Rapp, Hip Hop, and wh**ever else they call the musical bad poetry they pass off as music, I can't believe that get paid for it.

That young musician was onto something. There had to be a reason and that sounds logical to me. Not to say there are not talented musicians and singers who have been successful since that time, just that the industry is flooded with so many with little talent. And clever marketing is what actually propelled some of them to stardom (taylor swift, for example), in my opinion.
I'd much rather listen to the oldies. Nothing will ever compare to it.

Other than being eye candy, I have no use for Taylor Swift neither, either, what so ever.

Psychedelic. Different from his later music.

Much, much different. However - I like it. 😁
