P.S. Again cannot thank you enough for the fond memories you provide with all the songs and videos (BAA) before american adventureism. You are a God send !
I love this song. Always makes me think of Shaggy and Scooby running from one of their mystery monsters. As much as I love '58 Fords, a better car for the period this song dates from would be a '71 Galaxie Hawaii-Five-0 staff car. Or how about a '70 Plymouth Fury 2 door? '69 Olds Toronado! '68 AMC Javelin! Heck, '71 VW Bug!
Rosie's Diner Rt 17 Circle, Little Ferry, New Jersey.
I shot pictures there for an article in Seventeen Magazine back in 1983. ( Inside )
One of my first jobs as a Fashion Photographer. Still have the article.
The day I shot it, it snowed all day & Night and got stranded going back to the studio in manhattan with four Super Models and the Driver of the Tour Bus.
Did get home by 3:00 a.m. Of course the models made a trip to the Liquor Store next to the diner before we left Rosie's Great Memories
Great song! Sweet memories from the summer of '71. One of only 3 they landed in the top 40, I was surprised that it went no higher than #15. 'You've Got Your Troubles' - A song we don't hear nearly as often - Actually went much higher, at #7, nearly 6 years earlier, back in September of '65.
@lucandella - if no one's replied by now, try this. Play video to point of interest, pause, then use "print screen" functions (Alt-PrtSc or Fn-Alt-PrtSc, depending on your system), open Paint (or other graphics program), paste image into Paint canvas (will include the entire web browser window), then select the image of interest, crop, and save as file format of choice (jpeg, bmp, etc.). Hope this helps.
@jimoreillyjtm45 I've already sent lucandella the original picture. As a matter of fact, about 6 different colors.
I appreciate your help posting your knowledge on this! I just learned something myself! I'm sure your information will help many others. Thank you again!
