Gene Chandler - "Groovy Situation" (1970)

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

mary tyler moore....forgive me....i get it!

[TheBacmaster]

@SOULTRAINJAMES Yeah, I did have that posted, Sorry, maybe I misunderstand. However, you did me a favor listing who "That Girl" is for those that don't know.

Thank you for your help.

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

ooops....you are the author?

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

Forgive my unintended pun....but, if that's not Marlo in this video (with the exception of your exerpt)....then....just who is "that girl?"...or just assume it to be a model to look like her. Either that or old gene hasn't lost his touch and his fame and fortune precedes him!!!

[TheBacmaster]

@SOULTRAINJAMES That Girl is an American sitcom that ran on ABC from 1966 to 1971. It stars Marlo Thomas as the title character, Ann Marie, an aspiring actress, who moves from her hometown of Brewster, New York to try to make it big in New York City.

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

@TheBacmaster Thanks, but...who is "That Girl" in this video. The author said he put Marlo in at 2:34-2:39...and that is Marlo...but, this isn't, at least according to the one putting it up?

Thank You

[firefieldmpt]

l OVED THIS SONG SINCE I WAS A YOUNG TEEN ,i USE TO PLAY IT OVER AND OVER bg

[TheConsumerman]

Marlo Thomas was hot then and still has it going on. Gene Chandler help all become the Duke

of Earl. "Can you dig it"

[TheBacmaster]

Did anyone notice frame 2:34-2:39? It's Mary Tyler Moore! Someone did notice this about a year ago in the comments. Somehow she got mixed in while I made this video. Beautiful woman herself.

[MsRageinacage]

@TheBacmaster Yes I did!!

[TheBacmaster]

@MsRageinacage Excellent observation on your part. Thank you. I make waaaay too many of these music videos (1,720 in less then 2 years) so mistakes will happen.

[spellerlittlewing]

great job

[pricla777]

Oh, what I'd give to be 13 again, young and innocent. Now that I'm 55, I realize life just gets harder and harder as we age.

[Majortime9]

-------- Super song !!! Marlo Thomas is a doll.....this is Danny Thomas's girl baby ...oh yea

[MdNgtRyder]

I love marlo from year's ago and even till now,...that lucky bastard phil... :)

[1981cb900c]

I haven't heard that damn song in twenty years and yet I just sang every word by heart. Great song.

[pat2004tbird]

Wow I love this song!! I also loved the show "That Girl". I wanted to be her. I wanted her life; her clothes; she had it all. Cute, vivacious, bubbly with a sweetness to her. My older brother had a crush on her. He ended dating a girl who looked like her. All in all a very nice video. Thanks for your great posting!!!!

[conejorafael1160]

EXCELLENTE SONG. I LOVE IT!

[clouseau186]

Love Marlo Thomas and PHil Donahue both great people. I always thought she was very pretty and classy.

[eddie054]

In 70' I was 16. cool song then and now

[cynmarie33]

What a nice look back to 1970, I was 12, What a different world it was...

[DAS603]

The late 60's and early 70's were a turbulent time in America, but the music was great!

[SOULTRAINJAMES]

@DAS603 I agree about the turbulence, and forgive me for getting it off my chest....I think these times are far more extreme...and that was the "shot accross the bow". Interesting piece on today's news....95% of all morphine in the world is used in N. America. Is it that we couldn't deal with success?...and needed a sedative!!! Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Have a great one!

[TheAudivisioner]

This had one of lthe heavest bass lines in any soul classic.

[sierria64]

remeber this song i was 6 years old .. remember dad walking into the house from vietnam .... mom screamed .. we did'nt know he was comming home .. he sang this to mom as it played .. rip dad... i miss u 

[skeena59]

Chandler was, is and always will be the Duke of Chicago soul.

[55102]

let s get back to the 70 s again

[jody808]

i love the bass on the record and Marlo Thomas is still That Girl to me

[trailboyus66]

Thank you KEOM 88.5 FM Mesquite Schools radio for playing this one and keeping it alive over the years. It's A Groovy Situation.....

[babyjohnjameson]

brb, just going to buy my new suit

[redgrapeskins]

nice blend of a great song  and my favorite tv series of all time!

[bhossast]

Marlo Thomas is Super Hot, Knock Out, Dynamate, She turns me on!!!!!

[cpLOCO69]

Ron Burgundy:"Son of a bee sting! She's turning the entire office against us!" Brian Fantana:"This is grim. Real Grim." Champ Kind:"What are we going to do?" Ron Burgundy:"There's only one thing a man can do when he's suffering from a spiritual and existential funk." Champ Kind:"Go to the zoo, flip off the monkeys?" Ron Burgundy:"No... buy new suits!"

[randolph65]

songs were great back then

[desert3347]

MARLO, MARLO, MARLO****I WONDER IF SHE AND "DON" EVER HAD SEX??

STILL BEAUTIFUL TO THIS DAY!!

[calalilygirl]

@desert3347 We never really knew. That Girl was such a great show and I loved her with Ted Bessell. The father was excellent in that too.

[likepatsandGTOs]

Oh man...Marlo Thomas & this song PERFECT!!

[TheRammo]

THUMBS UP IF YOU SEARCHED THIS SONG BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT FROM THE MOVIE ANCHORMAN AND YOU DID IT IN 2011 :D

[bradlaypamp]

[TheRammo]

[CovertAgentSkittles]

@TheRammo

[TheRammo]

@forman208 naah im blessed that im so accurate, that includes several other things also...... Sweetheart

[awrealtor1]

I love this classic from Gene Chandler.

[MsTexas73]

What a cute tribute to Marlo Thomas and "That Girl" (Ann Marie)!

Also, did anybody else think that in the pic @ 2:37 Marlo favored Mary Tyler Moore? How ironic.

[mrstanbmw]

Gene Chandler was one of the top Soul Men of the 60's R Kelly another Chicagoan reminds me of Gene

[dmillsify]

when I was 5, in 1972, I decided I was going to Marry Marlo Thomas, it didn't quite work out; however, I am still prepared if she would have me!!!!

[likepatsandGTOs]

Nice tribute to Marlo...one of my alltime favorites! Man she is still gorgeous today!!

[nealadams70]

That Girl was TOO PLUCKY to be lonely...too groovy for me...

[tbirdtim]

Very nice. I can totally DIG IT!

[hennaert]

what a great song. thanks ron burgundy.

[Multi1628]

Love this r&b/dance classic - thanks for posting! Looking for the video for the song from The Bitch soundtrack (1979) by Gene Chandler: "Music You Are." CHEERS - DAVEDJ

[sonicedhoedown1]

I finally found it thanks to anchorman :)

[SteveCarras]

I thought it was a Sally Field "Gidget" clip.

[TheBacmaster]

@skicraze112 The clip is located at 2:35.

[brendandawna]

@TheBacmaster Mary was "that girl" in a different era.... LOL

[MsTexas73]

@brendandawna Mary was the next generation "That Girl" yep...she took it to the next level with her dialogue and attitude.

[bhossast]

@MsTexas73 I was just telling family members the Mary Tyler Moore show was the totally independent That Girl show. We see things the same I would say.

[MsTexas73]

@bhossast Yep

[DAtNizzaYOuKnOw]

Wow this is a CLASSIC glad i found.

[monoxide219]

Anchorman Song =P

[TBBTim]

@monoxide219 True..true.. :)

[rockabillygirl77]

UB40 done a very good cover of this!

[YRNGHFAN2]

Loved this show growing up. Enjoyed the vidio. Thanks for uploading. Would love to see reruns of this show again.

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Oooops. Mary pops up at an interesting moment. Great video.

[ugslamma]

Donald Hollinger was murdered

[cherylharrell1961]

Ann Marie and Donald Hollinger. I always loved that show and this song. Pretty cool.

[uplinkz]

But they do look alike!

[Mustanglover66]

Marlo Thomas was hot in the 70's and still is !! :)

[splender88]

Noticed the Mary Tyler Moore pic also. Other than than a great video and song.

[Candi411]

Beautiful wasn't she? Never seemed full of herself. She's still pretty to this day, INSIDE AND OUT.

Just one thing though......2:35 doesn't look like her. Looks more like a young Mary Tyler Moore. Could you be mistaken with that pic? Doesn't look like her at all.

[prettycountrygirl2]

Love this song.

[GojiJuicePower]

"Buy new suits"

YEEEAAAHHH!!!

[vespa202]
