storm Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 On May 8, 1970 Willis Reed provided one the most heroic efforts in the history of sport, when he unexpectedly limped from the locker room, in uniform, just in time for the tip-off. Reed's effort galvanized the Knicks. Walt Frazier scored 36 points and dished out 19 assists as they defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in a dramatic game seven to win their first NBA Championship, 113-99. In 1971, Milwaukee swept that series 4-0. The following year, Earl Monroe transferred to New York Knicks and reached the finals againts the Lakers but lost 1-4 againts the Chamberlain led Lakers. The following year, they bounced back against the Lakers and had their last taste of being the NBA Champion. Walt Frazier, Dave Debusschere, Phil Jackson was with the Knicks then.

Anaheim Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 ok. thanks for the info. i was born in 77 kase eh, and i remember seeing JAWS in the 80s. Jaws by steven spielberg was released in 1975Jaws 2 in 1978succeeding sequels were jaws 3, jaws 3D which were all released in the 1980s.... I think the movie that started the TREND of sequels that imparts extension such as Parts II, III, IV etc. was THE GODFATHER. That movie by francis ford coppola and mario puzo inspired a sequel GODFATHER PART II which was credited as "more superior" than the original, it was a box office hit. Eventually, movie producers cashing-in on the new bankable trend started making sequels of their movie hits but most sequels were mediocre standards. on-topic:the 70s were the "Disco years" made even more popular by the film SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER with the sound of the Bee Gees which spawned vocal imitations made by the Local pinoy bands VST AND COMPANY, SING-SING..."oh babe, isang tingin mo la-ha-ha-hang". Foreign songs mixed with tagalog lyrics...THE WAY WE WERE ..."namamasyal pa sa Luneta...kahit walang pera" made popular by Rico Puno were a huge hit locally, as with the original kilabot ng kolehiyala Haji Alejandro's rendition of PANAKIP BUTAS. These songs were formulaic hits that gave birth to OPM (Original Pinoy Music). Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 (edited) Foreign songs mixed with tagalog lyrics...THE WAY WE WERE ..."namamasyal pa sa Luneta...kahit walang pera" made popular by Rico Puno were a huge hit locally, as with the original kilabot ng kolehiyala Haji Alejandro's rendition of PANAKIP BUTAS. These songs were formulaic hits that gave birth to OPM (Original Pinoy Music).Other hits that involved Tagalog lyrics in foreign songs: Tito Mina's "Ikaw pa rin"Hajji's "Tag-araw"There was also that Taglish version of "I won't last a day without you" by the Rainmakers (I think!)Dami pa. I just can't recall them at the moment. Sa baligtad naman, the Lettermen recorded a Tagalog song with English lyrics: "Dahil sa Iyo." ("Because of You") I remember one talk show where Armida Siguion Reyna debated with ______ Gonzalez (the former congressman, na ama ni Kring-Kring) on the issue. Armida apparently hated the idea of putting Tagalog lyrics into foreign songs. Other 70s tidbits ...

jt2003 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Apo - Blue Jeans APO used to be known as the Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society. Over the years, nawala na yung "Hiking Society" and "linario Mabini" parts. Despite its promotion of songs in Filipino in later years, APO actually made a name for itself with English language compositions like "It's a New Day" and "Softly" which were included in the green album (I just can't recall the album title).

storm Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Nung time noon ay maraming local bands and singers na gumawa ng disco music na kunwari ay foreign artists like Blockbuster which became VST & Company. Bonnie Chanel who happened to be Helen Gamboa. Quote Link to comment

Hindi usong maikling buhok noon lalo na yung skinhead. Hairstyle for women Apple lookLong straight hair (uso ngayon)Farrah Fawcet look Tandang-tanda ko pa yung sideburns ala Tom Jones at Engelbert Humperdink. (O 60s ba yun?). Yung hati sa gitna, tawag namin doon, Kachupoy style. Pinauso naman ni John Lennon yung bilog na salamin, kasamang long hair. Kapag nakakakita naman kami ng kalbo, batok kaagad sa ulo ng katabi at magsabi ng "Pendong!" kasama peace sign. Di pa uso kalbo noon, puera lang kay Tito Varela at Bembol Roco. Mahilig kami magsuot ng maong/denim jacket kahit napkainit. Ngayon, ginagawa lang yun para magtago ng baril. Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 An unforgettable moment from the 1970s: the execution of Lim Seng. I saw the news of the sentence being read, and you could see Lim Seng swallowing hard (!!!) at the prospect of death. The next day, the news showed Lim Seng blindfolded at Luneta, before dawn, by the trees, his hands tied behind him. The clip also showed the soldiers aiming their rifles at him. The actual execution wasn't shown. That's when I first heard the term "death by musketry." Many years later, Bob Garon, in his "Bob Garon Debates" program, said that following the execution of Lim Seng, illegal drugs practically disappeared in the Philippines. He ought to know. He was with DARE at the time. Quote Link to comment

Pati si Elvis nun nakasideburns din. Just look at the Elvis impersonators. Pinependong din noon kapag nakakita ng kotseng kuba (Volks beetle). Pera noon ay me tatak na 'ang bagong lipunan'. Si Bonifacio pa ang nakalagay sa P5 bill. Quote Link to comment
