Dekampanilla Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I'm an avid music lover myself (my preference is eclectic - rock, jazz, r & b, classical, rap, reggae, electronic, you name it). I notice that a lot of the new acts/bands and material nowadays are simply a rehash of the sound of the 60s and the 70s... Quote Link to comment
storm Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Yeah, you're right pareng dekamps. I have the Gladys Knight version of Midnight Train to Georgia pati yung Neither One of Us. Dumating yung isang balikbayan friend ko from LA and he told me that Astrud Gilberto sings in small bars. The same goes with some of the hitmakers of the 60s and 70s. Hindi raw gaano mahilig sa ballads and jazz ang mga kano. And some of the songs that were megahits here were never heard of in the States. For example daw e yung Sandra and As Sure as I'm Standing Here ni Barry Mannilow. Quote Link to comment
robbietan Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 altho some songs wehe hits here first b4 becoming hits in the 'steyts laura branigan's - gloria rupert holmes - terminal rupert holmes in his manila concert thanked the pinoys who, he said, were the first to play his songs on the air and buy his records, well before his music became hits in the steyts Quote Link to comment

jt2003 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 altho some songs wehe hits here first b4 becoming hits in the 'steyts laura branigan's - gloria rupert holmes - terminal rupert holmes in his manila concert thanked the pinoys who, he said, were the first to play his songs on the air and buy his records, well before his music became hits in the steyts Pareng robbietan, you can add to that Charlene Duncan's "I've never been to me," which was a really big hit here during the late 1970s, but became a hit in the States only in the early 1980s when it was suddenly "discovered" by some radio station over there (or whatever). As for "Terminal," Diyoskopo. Everyone was singing it and playing it then. And as for Woodstock. Peace, pare. But wasn't CSNY's "Woodstock" great? Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 And as for Woodstock. Peace, pare. But wasn't CSNY's "Woodstock" great? That song was played during the opening credits of the Woodstock movie - I still get goosebumps watching the opening shots of the lush farm of Max Yasgur while the song was being played in the background..It's also included in their classic album DEJA VU...

Dekampanilla Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Since 1969 ang Woodstcok, perhaps we should move this discussion over to the 60s thread....And remember..."DO NOT TAKE THE BROWN ACID!" Cheers! Quote Link to comment
Magaling Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 The BBC came up with a documentary on 70s pop culture and it was noted that pop music from this decade has become the most copied and most remade. A lot of pop music genres find their roots in the 70s. Including rap (remember Rapper's Delight? No.1 in late 1979). Even the Manila Sound which is the precursor of OPM originated in the 70s.

robbietan Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 got my tape (where was it?) compiling some of the 70s hits - the tape was MANILA SOUND and features hits by Apo, Cinderella, Hotdog, etc. tie a yellow ribbon - by toni orlando and dawn- was a 70s hit and one of the most recorded songs ever one of the first rap hits was blondie's rapture altho debby harry admits she couldve done a MUCH better rap than what was recorded Quote Link to comment

to chump my style i let them know that i'm versatile i got style finesse and a little black book that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look but there's a thing that separates you from me and

I remember as a young boy, my older cousins will have a party at our house and those would be the music that they'll play. Fly robin fly . . .batman can not fly . . .Kasabayan yan ng El Bimbo, Papaya, etc. Tas manunood sila ng Penthouse. Sila Archie Lacson, Ronnie Henares, Pons(?) Quirino, etc. Kaya pati ako natuto magsayaw ng Hustle. Later on, swing. Which was to be an advantage at a later age because in a lot of parties that I would attend during my teens and even in my 20s, you get a few extra pogi points if you can dance the swing.
