The Music Of Old School

OLD SCHOOL MUSIC" ATTRACTING YOUNGER LISTENERS!
[ Ah...she's a brick house! She's mighty! mighty!]

I've been hearing it but hardly believing it, but I noticed a younger audience listening to "Old School Music" Songs for the 60's 70's and 80's are making its way into I-pods and downloads of the latest generation of music lovers. It's not a new age music, but a new age of listeners. Popular sounds of the Motown sound include recording artists like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Commodores, Con-Funk-shun and the famous sounds of The Jackson Five! There are also the Memphis sounds of Issac Hayes, and The BarKays. The new audiences are having a great scratch of the melodies of Rock and Blues with rhythms on radio stations playing strickly music of theses eras. You won't be suprised if your teen knows that "Old-Song" song afterall!

In addition to the return of old school music, I also seen the poplar return of the phonograph or as we used to say "record player" Music business will take off too because some music companies are already making new records discs in additions to compact disc and music tapes. So-- don't throw away your 45 or 78 records yet! There may a place for your "Oldy but Goody" music still. If you see your teen-ager bobbing and weaving his or her heads to the music, it could be something you might enjoy as well. That old music just keeps on playing and staying.... Speaking of old, I'm seeking to follow The Old Ways of Living. Seeking to find and stay in The Ancient Paths of the Lord. Scratch...That Old Record! I like listening and hearing that myself... What do you think?

I grew up listening to Motown. I've noticed the trend too, but with my youngest son for instance, it's more the Rock n Roll oldies, like Neil Young. Now, here's a question to test your memory. I've been trying to remember who sang that song that goes "War! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

Steve Williams Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 12:22PM

And no fair googling, as I just did!

MIISRAEL Bride Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 12:35PM

James..So, you wanna do me like that? Okay, I have a guess its a group with the same name> WAR! Hey! Gaddy can you help me out? Anybody knows?

MIISRAEL Bride Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 12:48PM

It's that "Old School Music" Anin't nothin like it!

Steve Williams Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 4:41PM

Now this is interesting. When I was listening to all these great tunes it was on AM transistor radio (remember those?), and often I didn't know who the artist was, just the songs. So I didn't even know who it was, Edwin Starr singing War. Now I just looked up another favorite, and guess who it was?

You know what? I'll be returning to this blog 2 often, it's some good music on here!....Transistor radios do I ever remember them. I kept one for years til finally it played out! That 25 miles to go sounded so good I listened to it twice! My feet are hurtin mighty bad!

Clark with the Ohio Players [you so wrong for that!] I danced on that one too! Burning..Burning...Baby!

MIISRAEL Bride Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 7:08PM

That's amazing it's telepathic!

Steve Williams Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 8:32PM

Now how did you know that's exactly what I was thinking?

Hey, did you get my email that I sent to Winnie?

Jen Fad Saturday, August 22nd 2009 at 9:30PM

The younger generation can appreciate quality music after all... all the same ole same ole playing on the radio these days is a bit nauseating...

MIISRAEL Bride Sunday, August 23rd 2009 at 8:38AM

Jen! What a great point! At least both generations get to enjoy what is good music, and songs that had and still have meaning. Songs and music of fun without all the violence and with good intentions full of melody and harmony and even songs of peace. I'm always glad to have your comments JF!

MIISRAEL Bride Sunday, August 23rd 2009 at 9:43AM

James, I got your e-mail, of which I will not disclose its contents; but say thank you for your wonderful thoughts of Winnie. You have presented me with a example of a real true friend. Thank you...once more.
