I remember being a 15 year old kid going to Hartwick; New York to see Lou Christie , it was the thrill of my life. He walked right up to me and sang to me . I came from a home where the most love I ever got from my Dad was a fist in my face and just before I saw the concert I got beat again. Anyhow seeing Lou made me forget the beating for that night. I’m 70 and I will never forget his great performance

I can't help thinking as I see these ladies dancing so free, so much emotion, fun, joy, happiness, truly getting into it and being lost in the song, that many are either passed away or very old. I wonder, when we see old folks today if we knew that some of them were in videos like this and if we knew that, just how much we would look at them differently. Now! Heck who am I kidding, this was just a bit b4 my time by about 10 years, but I am one of the old folks I am talking about! ha ha. Time surely flies and there are wonderful memoires. The only problem is how are we able to share them with these youngsters out there? lol

Like many, I discovered the great Lou Christie through this song. As I began to explore his career and the large volume of hits and diverse styles of music I was hooked! I would say 'If My Car Could Only Talk' is my most played, but honestly every song whether made for mass consumption or a personal artistic triumph, is a hit. Much too underated a talent and amazingly still going strong at 78! God bless him.

But someone posted it on Instagram today and I just now really listened to the lyrics! What a horny teenage boy song! Hilarious! Perfect set up for the following year which would be 1967 and the Summer of Love!
