Gentrys - Keep On Dancing [II] (RARE clip)

[wcw09]

dam they were good!

[oakleygear]

The dancing girls are the best!

[greasegun49]

I really wish that people who comment on these uploads would refrain from using the sites to unload their particular form of venom on us and comment about the music, with possibly a reference to the climate of the times they were popular in, and leave it at that. The nasty hateful stuff I got today has its place, and rates some serious adult discussion. I doubt if SixtiesPopGold intended to provoke a political rant. I think I'll just stop watching. Don't need the stress.

[XmapkeeperX]

@greasegun49 im sorry. i love you

[greasegun49]

@XmapkeeperX You love sarcasm, don't you? Post your e- mail. This ain't the place for your gripes. And I didn't need to ask anybody.

[MrNocaster1]

Great song. Anybody out there from Evansville, Ind ? Anybody remember "The Turks"? They never made it big but they were a fantastic local band. I guess I heard 'em 50 times.

[professordumbledorf]

I've head this song 100 times and I'm up for one hundred and one.

[MrJed50]

Great Memphis music....sometimes Memphis is forgotten as a music mecca....after all...Elvis, Jerry Lee and the Big O started there.....the Gentrys, Wilson Pickett, Al Green and a ton of other musicians carried on the tradition.....

[winterstellar]

Yeah, they're all at least in their 60s. That's something I love about the time we're living in, nobody is so old that they've never lived in "cool" times and done "cool" things. There aren't many differences between the generations anymore, we're all "cool" now: )

[greasegun49]

@winterstellar True that! I grew up in those days and I'm 62. A lot of cool stuff was going on; for me it was cars. Your take on the Generational Gap seems right on. I look at my son and see myself. And he listens to all kinds of music, including "our" stuff. I often wonder what life would have been like if we had skipped the war. Could it have lasted? The "cool" of it all?

Guess we'll never know. Peace...

[1949beatles]

@greasegun49 I to am now 62 and wow I had a blast back in the great 60s music the car food man it was all good. Not the war to many young men died and I will never for get the stories I heard.. I am back in a group now rocken once again and i am the drummer and sing and will do it till I died..peace be safe..larry

[greasegun49]

@1949beatles Hey, most cool to be rocking them drums. Keep going, the aches and pains are eased by good sounds. The 60s were a phenomenon that will never happen again. We should feel privileged to have lived it. The war? I just try to make it go away and instead drag out the good memories of fast cars and youthful innocence. We were pretty naive I guess...

[greasegun49]

@greasegun49 And of course Peace and a good long life to you. Make music Larry....The Greasegun

[XmapkeeperX]

@greasegun49 i was a teenager in the 1990's. all we had was alot of gangs, street crime, divorices, parents getting laid off, white flight, urban decay and now terrorism to look at, and you baby boomers couldnt even legalize weed to get us through it, thanks alot assholes.

[greasegun49]

@XmapkeeperX You're obviously not ignorant, just angry. You must realize we boomers had the same crap, plus the draft. It wasn't easy having a good time; you had to get into the right environment and avoid all of the losers around you. Nuclear war was almost a certainty then as was being drafted into Vietnam. We learned early that calling complete strangers assholes didn't help much of anything. Shitcan the anger and seek solutions. Peace...

[XmapkeeperX]

@greasegun49 your joking, right? what did americas cities look like in 1964, and what did they look like in 1994? awww, get into the right environment and ''fit in''. how horrible. i guess that was so much more horrible than the crack wars and drug epidemic and drive by shootings. your own generation sold itself out for the almighty dollar, they are currently called yuppies. keep in mind the internet your using now was invented by a bunch of pre breakfast club generation Xers.

[greasegun49]

@XmapkeeperX Horrible? Xmap, you are responsible for your own life. Bitch and whine all you want, it is what it is until you change it. You're full of jealous anger and maybe you feel that you can't change anything. Oh, right. Of course some pot would help ease the agony of your horrible existence. Please, don't get political with me. I'm the jerk who got machine gunned for the beast. Stop blaming people you don't have a clue about.

[XmapkeeperX]

@greasegun49 wow, a hippy who mocks mary jane. ill bet your buddies would be spinning in their san francisco suede moccassins at that comment. 420 for life, ask somebody.

[greasegun49]

@XmapkeeperX No, they wore black jump boots. If you are looking for a fight, why look here? Because it's older music? Your pseudo intellect is showing. I'm not going to continue this back and forth if it's not about music. No more green NECROTIC organs. You wanna practice your sarcasm, go play with some other little men. I'm all grown up now and you're making me cranky.

[XmapkeeperX]

@greasegun49 i might add that nuclear war is a welcome next to biochemical attacks. id rather be taken out in a flash of bright light than throw up my green necrosis organs on some street corner.

[grimeanddubstephead]

how 'bout those dancers?

[sgtlzy]

All these kids are hovering around 60 or beyond now.

Unreal.

[royalstarblue]

The Out of Rhythm nation. good tune though.

[phyzzique]

@royalstarblue You obviously have a tin ear; They sound great.

[tellmem3]

I am 31 and this is one of my favorite songs. It's amazing how songs like this can stay timeless. Like you get transported back to those days. Unlike the garbage they play these days, this music was universal and made people dance and have a good time no matter who you were.

[POPAVIDEO]

amazing band !

rare FRENCH EP .....

[topazrain]

Is Jimmy Hart the lead singer?

[SixtiesPopGold]

@topazrain No, I think he's the one to the very left of the lead singer (Larry Raspberry). Hart did, however, form a new lineup that had a few more hits.

[Jessyleppert]

@SixtiesPopGold When I first Heard Jimmy Hart was in this Band, I thought he was the Lead Singer.

[wcw09]

@SixtiesPopGold wrong him and the mouth of the south jimmy hart were both the lead singers of this band!!!!

[coastie378]

They had recorded this in a garage and it ended at about 1 min 40. It was too short for release, so they added some more with a bit of editing, or so the story goes.

[7mugwumps]

oh the memories!!!! I love it. We used to think that looking like that was normal....LOL

[Goldclaw837]

At every sock hop dance in the 60's that song was played--Great song!!

[brucer12]

Note those dancers going into there ready & fire position toward the end.

[brucer12]

Great clip of our times and one bitchin song!!

[elcash53]

This one brings back great memories, and it is one that you can't get out of your head. Great song
