This thread is from 2009... quite a few broken links... so we just have to do something about that(:

There are a lot of classifications of music on Bmindful, and remembering where certain songs are located or even where to put them is sometimes difficult because of music overlap-> So guess what here’s another music thread (: if you’re looking for a time rather than just a music category.

• If you choose to post, if you choose include a little history/lyrics with the artist and song
• As I see music deleted, I have been trying to update with new tunes/artists.

• I don’t have groups and artists posted by time frame as I had started… earlier in the thread. So..you will see a combo of music-(types and time-frames) scattered a bit over a 20 year period 60’s and 70’s).
  Hope you enjoy!

So far you will find:

 Archie Bell and the Drells
 Temptations

 Booker T and the MG’s
 Lovin’ Spoonfuls

Early to Mid 60’s

 ♫Archie Bell & The Drells Tighten UP

wikipdia The origins of “Tighten Up” came from a conversation Bell had with Butler. Bell was despondent after receiving his draft notice, and Butler, in an attempt to cheer him up, demonstrated the “Tighten Up” dance to Bell. Bell asked Butler what it was, and Butler told him the name. Bell then put together the famous track, which hit the charts following his induction into the Army.

Bell’s promoter, Skipper Lee Frazier, unsuccessfully began pushing the flip side of “Tighten Up”, but at the recommendation of a friend gave the other side a try. “Tighten Up” was written by Archie Bell and Billy Butler,⁷ contained Archie Bell prodding listeners to dance to the funky musical jam developed by the T.S.U. Toronadoes,⁸ and it became a hit in Houston before it was picked up by Atlantic Records for distribution in April 1968. By the summer it topped both the Billboard R&B and pop charts. It also received a R.I.A.A. gold disc by selling 1 million copies.⁷ According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, Bell heard a comment after the Kennedy assassination in Dallas that “nothing good ever came out of Texas.” Bell wanted his listeners to know “we were from Texas and we were good.”

Bell was wounded in action in Vietnam while the band was still at the height of its fame. The success of the single prompted the band to rush out an album, despite their incapacitated leader. In 1969 the group recorded their first full album with Gamble and Huff, I Can’t Stop Dancing, which reached number 28 on the R&B album chart.

 ♫The Hollies singing He’s Not Heavy He’s My Brother

Lyrics of He Aint Heavy He’s My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It’s a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we’re on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all
He ain’t heavy he’s my brother

He’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

Good insight on the Hollies posted by Paul D. Schneider on a blog I found. Here are some excerpts:
- known for: “three-part vocal harmonies.
-THEIR SPIRIT: On a spiritual level, the music of the Hollies offers an optimistic, often joyful view of life that reminds us that love, despite the occasional complication and setback, is the source of true happiness. .. the Hollies offered listeners a more optimistic, positive view of life that lifted our spirits and showed us a world as harmonious and energetic as the band’s best songs.

If you disrespect everybody
That you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody sposed to respect you
If you dont give a heck about
The man with a bible in his hand
Just get out the way and let
The gentleman do his thing

Youre the kind of gentleman
That wants everything their way
Take the sheet off yur face boy
Its a brand new day

Chorus
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you dont respect yourself
Aint nobody gonna give a good
Ca-hoot na na na oh oh
Respect yourself

If youre walking around thinking
That the world owes you something
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bruce-willis-lyrics/respect-yourself-lyrics.html }
Cause youre here
Youre going out the world backward
Like you did when you first came here
Keep talking about the president
Wont stop air pollution
Put your hand over your mouth
When you cough
Thatll help the solution

You cuss around women folk
You dont even know their name
Then youre dumb enough to think
That it makes you a big ol man

Chorus
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you dont respect yourself
Aint nobody gonna give a good
Ca-hoot na na na oh oh
Respect yourself

In response to dinkledorfer’s post:
here’s the lyrics:

Now there you are.
Yes, there’s that face.
That face that somehow I trust.
It may embrace you, too.
Here me say it.
But say it I must,
Say it I must

You have the cool clear
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet, there’s that up turned chin
And the grin of impetuous youth.

Oh, I believe in you,
I believe in you.

I hear the sound of good
Solid judgment whenever you talk.

Yet, there’s the bold, brave spring
Of the tiger that quickens your walk.
(roar, roar!)

Oh, I believe in you,
I believe in you.

And when my faith in my fellow man
Oh but falls apart,
I’ve but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart,
I take heart.

To see the cool clear
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,

Yet with the slam, bang, tang
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth.

Oh, I believe in you,
I believe in you.
