Back To The 70's

[Mandrake]

Huwag rin nating kalimutan ang dakilang si Rudy Genaskey ("Tom Jones" of the Philippines daw) na ang palaging kinakanta sa TV e "Rock Me Baby". 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Hahaha...Ang daming Pinoy copy cats nitong si Tom Jones! When I was stationed in Bahrain in the late 80s, I was a regular at the Holiday Inn where lo and behold was the band of BOY MONDRAGON making waves in this Middle Eastern State. I quite remembered this tiny showbiz singer in the 70s doing Tom Jones impersonations and belting out songs of Wilson Picket on TV shows as "Big Ike's Happening" and "The Sensations" (pabaduyan na ito!)

 

But seriously, this guy (or should I say gay) made it really big-time in Manama, Bahrain.

Tutal pabaduyan na rin lang e lubusin na natin!

 

Who can forget the sentimental songstress Claire dela Fuente at ang kanyang makapag-bagbag damdaming awiting "Sayang" that went to the top of the charts in the summer of 1978?

 

At si Imelda Papin sa kanyang awiting "Tukso"?

Sige sali na rin ako. I met Victor Wood early this month in a cocktail at the National Museum. He's now an artist (painter).

 

Wasn't he the undisputed Jukebox King?

 

Don't forget Eva Eugenio?

Yeah. he was indeed the unidsputed Jukebox King. I just don't know kung saan iyong mga jukebox na they were referring to.

 

How about Rey Valera at ang kanyang romantikong awiting "Superman"? (Sa totoo lang, ok sa 'kin 'tong kanta niyang ito. Hehe Baduy rin pala 'ko 'no?)

Yup it was funnyman Ariel Ureta. Incidentally, he has a show at the ANC Channel entitled "My Favorite Show."

 

Martial Law was formally announced on September 23, 1972.

 

I agree with you on the circa 70-72 before Martial Law. Uso noon ang sobrang long hair. From the Beatles to Alice Cooper. I have cousins who lost their minds due to drugs. Sayang sila.

 

I started attending typars in 1973. I saw a Circus band concert that year. Si Pabs Dadivas and Tillie Moreno ang lead vocals nila. Backup lang noon sina Hajji Alejandro and Basil Valdez pero nang magdisband, unang sumikat si Basil for Ngayon at Kailanman then sinundan ni Hajji with Panakip Butas.

 

Favorites namin sa mga typars noon (circa 73-76) ay:

Tower of Power

Led Zeppelin, particularly - Stairway to Heaven

MFSB

Three Degrees

Barry White

Diana Ross

Blue Magic

The Stylistics

The Temptations

BeeGees

Sergio Mendez

Gino Vanelli

Lani Hall

Astrud Gilberto

Deodato

KC & the Sunshine band

Seals and Crofts

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I remember most of them. :cool:

 

Yup 70s yung Seventh Avenue (1979). Kasabay niya yung Pouzzez.

 

Blue Magic has another version of Ronnie Dyson's "I Just Don't Wanna Be Lonely"

Tavares' Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel was featured in the remake of Charlie's Angel :thumbsupsmiley:

The Miracles' "City of Angels" was also a high school sweet dance favorite, I remembered how I used to tell my ka-sweet that the song was about LA falling into the seas just in case a strong earthquake hit LA because of the san Andrea's fault, and my ka-sweet would reply "masyado palang morbid yang kantang iyan"

[Mandrake]

Yeah. he was indeed the unidsputed Jukebox King.  I just don't know kung saan iyong mga jukebox na they were referring to.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Idagdag na kaya natin ang prinsipe ng mga boses lata--EDDIE PEREGRINA.

If i remember right, he and Victor Wood had an intense rivalry as Jukebox King

until Peregrina's untimely death as a result of a car accident in the late 70s.

Yeah, Eddie Peregrina was killed at the intersection of Shaw Boulevard and EDSA during the pre-EDSA Crossing underpass days. I think it was 1974 when he died in that car accident.

 

Sayang classic pa naman iyong kanta niyang "My Pledge of Love".

[willow_boy]

Remember:

 

Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild"

Pards, that was a great list. :thumbsupsmiley: The only correction I need to make is for the song above. This song came out in 1967 and was also featured in the Jack Nicholson/Peter Fonda/Dennis Hopper movie "Easy Rider" in 1969.

...at kung gusto mong mainis ng todo, ang walang kamatayang "TOGETHER AAAAGAAAAAINN!"

Paborito ng lola ko yan kasi kaya no choice ako pag nasa radyo ang matanda.

 

And speaking of AM Radio during that era, who can ever forget the soap dramas of "Ito ang Inyong Tiya Dely" and "Kahapon Lamang ni Kuya Eddie". Sheeessh...as if these were not enough to torture me, my lola would shift to the deadman's voice of Kuya Cesar as he begins to tell the story behind a f***ing love song.

Speaking of AM Radio, sikat din sa umaga noon si Johnny De Leon at ang kanyang dakilang sidekick na si Ngongo. I think sa DWWW yata iyon. It was part-news and part-entertainment. Too bad na Johnny De Leon died at an early age. Heart attack yata and it was around 1976. Rod Navarro took over not long after that.

sa bahay naman, DZRH ang istasyon ni ermats kung saan namamayagpag tuwing umaga si Rod Navarro. mga bandang mid to late 70s ito where Rod's sidekick on the air was Joe Taruc. at that time umi-extra pa lang si Noli Boy De Castro every sunday lang with his "noli linggo balita". joe taruc's and veep noli's fortune turned brighter when rod navarro abruptly left the country with the marcoses in the aftermath of edsa I.
