Back To The 70's

[Magaling]

Speaking of the 70's.... Anybody here ever into the "JUAN DELA CRUZ BAND"?

 

For a brief period in the early 70's JDC Band was THE band! Pepe Smith, Wally Gonzales and Mike Hanopol came out blasting from DZRJ and Pinoy Rock was never the same again.

 

""Laklakin Mo, Durugin Mo

Laklakin Mo, Hanggang sa iKaw ay maging Bato"

 

Remember that song?

Bukod sa "Himig Natin" at "Laklakan", isa pa sa mga naging paborito kong kanta ng Juan dela Cruz band ang "Rock and Roll sa Ulan".

 

After the break-up, I really liked "Wally's Blues" which was released by Wally Gonzales around 1977-78. I consider it a classic although not many rockers other than those from our generation know about his works because he was a lot less popular than either Mike or Pepe.

I agree that the George Benson of the 70's was a better version than the Benson of the 80's and 90's where in he is being packaged more as a vocalist.

 

Benson started gaining fame as a jazz session artist and his move to being an instrumentalist was a natural one.

I think George Benson in the later years became more of a pop act and deviated a bit from being a strictly jazz artist.

 

Although "Moody's Mood" remains one of my favorites among his songs with vocals.

yeah pare I remember tasyo and batsi

pero nung sa Pasig dati sa amin, yung kotse ginawa nilang estok..

meron pa nung kadiri to death dati, di ba

The epitome of the kolehiyala language was sung by Hotdog in 'Beh Buti Nga!'

 

...Kadiri to death, you're so baduy!

 

By the way, uso na noon sa amin nung high school yung term na jeproks and that was way back 1974 pa, jeproks pertains to porma or pananamit na mala-rockstar, think pormang Circus band, Earth Wind & Fire, etc. Kaya nga nasabi kong naiba yung meaning nang ginawan ng kanta ni Pareng Mike.

 

We called naman noon yung pormang preppy na jepry, meaning naka-lacoste, grandslam, fred perry, etc. Pormang burgis or social. Mukhang kay bango. :*

panahon nang martial law curfew talaga maalala ko... up to 10pm lang ang mga bata sa labas.

 

also i remember the time when xmas songs were played in the streets as word broke out that marcos has fled malacanang... people from all walks of life converge in our plaza up to the wee hours in the morning

yes that was a bummer. I first heard of Benson playing Take Five and California Dreamin' then he did This masquerade with vocals - it was beautiful. I thought it was just a novelty of his pero nag-tuloy-tuloy na siya sa songs with vocals - and more pop-influenced na.....Too bad, you know....

[storm]

Tapos sinundan nya pa ng The Greatest.

 

Learnin to love yourself is the greatest love of all.

yeah that's the pits - I think it's a great song anyway, but being sung by someone with a rich and promising pedigree like George Benson was kinda disappointing. I mean if we hadn't known of Benson as a great jazz guitarist before it may have been ok...

pareng bods, listen also to leon russel's version of this masquerade

theme song sa movie yan ni Muhammad Ali as himself and Ernest Borgnine as Angelo Dundee in the film "The Greatest" (1978)

Been busy these days. Naalala ko pa nung 70s kapag ganitong buwan e maraming typar kasi katapos lang ng quarterly exams.

 

'Fly Robin Fly'

 

Nung college naman, finals and sem break. Octoberfest talaga. Halos gabi-gabi ikot sa mga hotels and discos. Listening to Kuh Ledesma with Music & Magic at Alibi bar in Regent or Something Special (New Minstrels) at Siete Pecados in Westin. Then, papawis sa Wherelse.

 

'I haven't stopped dancing yet' - Hernandez

'Keep on Dancin' - Gary's Gang

 

Tapos bottomless coffee sa lobby ng Peninsula o kaya'y siomai sa Aberdeen.

 

O kaya'y

[daisycutter]

Wow repaps, this is where I belong!!!

 

Keep on Dancing, Souveneirs, Teri Desario, wala pa ring tatalo. Haha.

Tapos ikot sa greenhills when pick-ups weren't pokpok at all and when syota still meant girlfriend you telebabad with.

 

Batse muna at babalik din ako kaagad.

[storm]

Kapag sembreak noon punta kami sa Baguio. Mga 4 or 5 kaming barkada tapos, 2 cars ang iaakyat namin sa Baguio para may space sa mga bagong kakilala o ka- eyeball. Uso na noon ang cb radio kaya masaya.
