ALLIGATOR LIZARDS IN THE AIR!!!

[55mautak]

This song is about 101 freeway,what is turkey got to do with this?

[doorgunnerAmerical]

Beautiful land. "Midnight Express" starring Brad Davis gave Turkey a very negative spin. Hopefully, things have improved since then.

[doorgunnerAmerical]

United States of AMERICA: North America, Central America, and South America. AMERICA is short-hand for the U.S.A. Got that?

[SunnyDays951]

Wow beautiful tribute video. So much more poiniant today. I do thank you. Beautiful track.

[2viewornotoview]

Pairing this great song together with images of Turkey is as brilliant as coloring Shirley Temple's 'Good ship lollypop' song with the First-response photos of the Sharon Tate murder.

[orioleman5]

Wish i was cruising down it right now!!!!!!!!

[ramd66]

love the song and love the band! and thanks to showing some glimpses of turkey... i know i wont be able to see that place.

[Intheflesh44]

I was just dreaming about this song

[korbenkill]

@Intheflesh44 :) did the same for me this week

[Alwaystuned]

The photography is beautiful.Growing up in southern California this song has special meaning to me.

[ianrkav]

Amazing mountain shot @2:52 !

[MrJchane]

Great video was there in 1983 and 1998 with th U.SA.F.

[GeorgeBurrito]

Love this song! Paul Hardcastle does an AMAZING cover, if you haven't heard it before.

[zenalaus]

I'm a big fan of the Bee Gees. The producer who helped so much to give them/ develop for them their signature sound (Saturday Night Fever and afterwards, I think) was the music producer Arif Mardin. He was Turkish- from Istanbul, Turkey. I saw a video where one of the Bee Gees referred to Arif's beautiful Turkish accent. Arif is in the Recording Academy's Hall of Fame. Unfortunately I think he passed away.

[zenalaus]

Can 1 country have so much beauty? What beautiful places! This video is almost genius. Great to put the images of Turkey with this song by America- I'm an American & I LOVE the song 'Ventura Highway' & the band America. Seeing this slideshow with this song can give a person a feeling of wanting to travel. Even more, when u put the song by the group 'America' with such beautiful images from Turkey it makes u feel how deeply a Turkish person can feel for his or her country. Anyone for their home.

[SUNSHINESBETER]

fabulous song..nice pics too!..turkey is a very beautiful country..especially when you get away from the commercial touristy bits

[JMPM55]

Nice country; I wish I could go and visit Turkey some day.

[Hippie01973]

Beautiful scenes of TURKiYE ( TURKEY ) to this music. I've been to TURKiYE - it's a wonderful country with lots of rich history and culture including very friendly people. Had a great time. Hope to be back soon !

[raydogg1able]

I had some good times when this song came out.

[Eatyummyfood]

idk why but this song reminds me of a highway in like nevada or someplace like that but its still a good song

[barry19691]

I love this song it reminds me of California in the 70's riding with my mom and dad down the coast..Good Times Good Memories!

[Innerstorm3]

What a stunningly magical country. One life seems to short to see all the places you would love to visit / live. A visual feast.

[rocker4u123]

rolling up some grass, driving down the rooooad. great song, just had to hear it. thanks for posting, this is music, not noise.

[shieldwolf49]

I walked through california! I wanna walk again! ♥ ♥

[jrlhomme]

The members of America are American, their parents were serving in the US Air Force in the UK when they were discovered.

[milesmuhldoon1]

@BobbyEnergy aye BobbyEnergy, aye.

[chrisshelek]

thanks

[dustyncarol]

I will never forget this song ever I grew up on this song and it will always be one of my favorite America songs .

[dannypatron666]

why is this 6 minutes? the one that I heard when I was three is only like, 3 mins only?

[HMicahA]

@dannypatron666 It loops toward the end of the song, so it plays twice.

[BigSkyBuilders]

I love America , the band AND the country!

[Asterikk]

@BigSkyBuilders Amen :)

[senzokami]

@BigSkyBuilders America is MORE than just a country. It is a WHOLE continent.

[narutothe4thson]

@senzokami yeah but when people say America everyone knows what they're talking about. They're not including mexico canada or South America.

[OctoDunn]

@BigSkyBuilders

is it a country?

i thought america pretty much referred to almost the entirety of the western hemisphere.

you must mean the united states, puny place

[arnoldnavarro21]

@BigSkyBuilders :D

[edcerino]

@BigSkyBuilders america is not a country, its a continent

[zahzuh]

@edcerino Actually it's both..And a damn fine band as well. It depends upon the context in which you speak of it.

[GamerzPro1231]

@edcerino NORTH America is a continent, however America is short for United States of America, and you know it. Buzz off.

[commander554]

@BigSkyBuilders Lol, being an American, I immediately scrolled down to defend you against the Haters. God Bless America.

[IBmZI]

[danabeatle]

Such a lovely great tune!! One that brings back memories of road trips as a child growing up in California.

[Condorbanger025]

This song is awesome! Make me feel like traveling.

Acctually, just travelling, everywhere, the road, the wind, the landscape... Beautiful song!

[ShelliousBellious]

Absolutely Amazing!!! I Want to go to "TURKEY" - SERIOUSLY!!! It looks lovely and so enchanting. What a marveleous compilation of nature and old world meets a modern one, with respect to keeping the true essence of the country. Kudos to you on a wonderful array of photos that you've combined for this awesome song-"YOU ROCK" :) I seriously have to call a travel agent, because , now I want to go to TURKEY!!! Yeah! :) Thanks for sharing your memories-You Must Be A "PRO-PHO-TOG," Huh!?! Hmmm

[vhz242]

@ShelliousBellious . . .your comments are so positive.  Thanks for that and best wishes getting to Turkey. I agree. . .it's beautiful.

[MrJJBhizzle]

Someboby's grumpy......

[mikethe4th]

looks like someone just got back from turkay

[yadidaholla]

Janet Jackson sampled this for her 2001 hit, "Someone To Call My Lover".

I looked this up after someone mentioned it on a forum about the meaning of Prince's Purple Rain song. Someone said this is the earliest song to use that phrase @ 4:45

[oliverboliver1]

one of the best songs ever recorded, means alot of diferent things to a lot of people.sit back and listen and enjoy!!!!

[shinsofsteel55]

i guess even the kids like the oldies too

[ElginTeeVee]

@shinsofsteel55

I think due to Janet Jackson sampling it in her 2001 song Someone To Call My Lover made younger people discover it.

[usucka]

haha if you don't care then you shouldn't read it or post a comment about it...... shit, just listen to the song...

[mkl62]

On Dec. 27, 2007, my cousin lost her battle with Lou Gehrig's disease. At her funeral, this was played during a picture montage of her life. Pam, you were such an inspiration to your family and friends during this ordeal which was incredible. You displayed a strength that all of us were lacking, even though you were the one facing death. You were loved by everyone. We love you and miss you, but you are at peace now.

[Fockboxx]

LOL!

[airbus340driver]

@mkl62 A beautiful tribute to someone who must have been very special. You obviously loved each other, that's what's special and lasts forever...

[mkl62]

@airbus340driver Thank you. She was someone special. She left behind two daughters, both of whom have struggles of their own. The older daughter has two sons, 7&5, both of whom have autism. The younger daughter had a girl last Wednesday, July 21, from an emergency C-section and she has been diagnosed with CMV. Please keep them in your prayers. Both Pam and I were both adopted into a loving family. We have been so blessed.

[commander554]

@mkl62 Im sorry for your loss. In a way, I always pictured being at peace. She is in A better place now. At rest.

[mkl62]

@commander554 Thank you. Today is March 1, which would have been her birthday (1958). She was placed up for adoption at birth. My aunt and uncle adopted her 1 year later.

[MilesMuhldoon]

very nice accompanying picture show indeed.
