Either the first or second single I ever bought for myself. On the appropriately psychedelic-style Marmalade label. It's 'Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity'. I was 13 at the time and didn't find out it was by the Band and Dylan until I got into the Band later. No internet for instant expertise in those days! Happy memories of this song.
I find it interesting that so many artists from that era are simply not remembered as well. The stuff we hear on "classic rock" stations is good and all, but the stuff that fell through the cracks is often just as good, if not better.
@radlettblue I believe that those are copies of the artist Marcel Duchamp's sculpture "Bicycle wheel". He was part of the surrealist and Dadaist art movements, and they pissed off a lot of snooty "atrsy" types.
What's Absolutely Fabulous?? I found myself here by looking up Micky Waller, who played drums on Jeff Beck's first album and coincidentally played in this group also.
@Summerislesun Bob Dylan wrote the song,its on the basement tapes.He wrote it while jamming with The Band.Who were his backing band at the time.Before they went on to be there own band.
its called the sixties man....if it wasnt for the 60s all music you listen to today...from hip hop to trance would not exist....instead we will all still be listening to jazz, blue grass and bach...(which do have their place.....but as do classics like this!)
@scafandru123 This shit is Youtube. The idea is, you look for what interests you and click on it. You don't just click on stuff with your eyes shut and then expect other people to explain it to you.
@drdoobi i've been watching ab fab since i was a little kid.. i've known about it waaayyy before it was on logo.it use to be on Oxygen. its always been a favorite of mine
I liked every song that was released in '68, i liked every person i spoke to in '68, i liked every movie and tv show i saw in '68 and i also liked the simple types of entertainment from back in '68...........or does it just seem like that?
I love Julie's arms and her hands especially and their movements. Her hands and their soft, graceful movements while she's singing in this are really pretty.
I love Julie's arms and her hads especially and their movements. Her hands and their soft, graceful movements while she's singing in this are really pretty.
The summer of 68. How well I remember it. This and other songs were the background to that idyllic time, at least for people like me who were long-haired students then. What spells of Graeco-Syrian magic can give me back my 20th year?
wow i thought they wrote that song for ABFAB but obv not. this version sounds better than the one in the credits. i listened many times and then i walked through the house singing it. hahaha yeah i'm coool *cough*
As great as this is, I hope people will always remember that it all began in the basement of Big Pink in Upstate New York with four Canadians, a Southern drummer and a Jewish folksinger from Minneapolis.
Actually this version is by 'Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity', the Abfab version is a recording by Julie Driscoll...just thought you might like to know that.
wow love all your promo's you have on Julie Driscoll and The Doctor Detroit sez thank you so much 2 @nyrainbow2 for all the awesome treasure chest of goodness!

Bonjour, vous aimez les sixties ? écoutez et podcastez mon émission "le super son des 60's" sur le site de plumfm. You like the 60's ? please, listen and podcast my broadcast "le super son des 60's", connect to "plumfm". Salut et faites gaffe au rock and roll.
Wow! Where'd you get this promo? Not much of an audience for Driscoll here in the U.S., unfortunately. I've been aware of Driscoll long enough to believe the likes of Annie Lennox and R&B influenced British singers owe her a debt.
Oh wow! Have never heard this version and I am a huge Absolutely Fabulous fan! It sounds great this version! Cool! I am right in thinking they got someone else to sing this in the "Gay" episode but the lady's name escapes me at this precise moment! I am sure I'll remember though!
Rap is good? Rappers (like Jay-Z) are idiots — mewling about their shoes, the champagne they guzzle, the watches they can afford, the cars they can drive etc. that's when they're not (on the less mainstream stuff) talking about killing "niggers" and white people, which they do a lot. Neither do they make the music — separate producers provide the sounds — not the artists — which is mostly looped samples lifted from other (usually white) artists records. So, lay off Driscoll and jeanmanuforti.
@RogerHoare Of COURSE you leave out all the rappers who AREN'T rapping about that stuff. The activists, the comedians, etc. And little do you know (or care to), some of those who aren't on the activism are rapping about their lives and don't need to sample from anyone. A lot of the more materialistic rappers have moved on to thought-provoking material. I hate it when people start that ridiculous rap argument. They're NOT idiots. Just say it's something you don't like and leave it at that.
@RogerHoare You're racist, man. Rappers rarely rap about killing whitey, and all the rock bands from the 60's you like we're mostly inspired by old black men like Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson, etc.
The style of the video easily dates itself with the usage of brown, yellow and orange colors. Also, Marcel DuChamp is overrated, IMHO. The spinning wheels on stools are a reproduction of his work, the creatively named "The Bicycle Wheel".
Love the stoned out way Julie moves in this. Classic barefoot hippie child. The tune was even on AM radio as the "progressive" movement tried to shake off things like The Monkees, Herman's Hermits and other Bubblegum music.
I knew Julie back in the 60's... very nice, unassuming person with a great sense of humour. She had me in fits when I remarked how nice her hair looked only for her too lift it up over her head and show me it was a wig! But that is her own hair in this vid. Great voice ... only prob with this vid is that it reminds me of how slim Julie + I were back then ... now I'm not, don't know about her!
Rap and Hip Hop Are Bullshit, this lost form of great in your face Rock & Roll needs to return in a BIG WAY and show all these wannabe no talent MTV heads how it's done! Why is it people think Rap and Hip Hop is music? Anyone can talk over beats and stolen samples, years ago Rap would have been catagorized as what it is," Spoken Word", Not Music!! Most of these so called rappers couldn't carry a tune if their lives depended on it! The next Generation needs to WAKE UP!
@tdsdrac sounds like you're judging hiphop by what you see in the mainstream. if you judged rock music by what you see in the mainstream you would think it was bullshit too.
I bought the Atco label 45 of this the day it hit the charts. One of the best singles of 1968 and any other year! I saw Brian Auger live in concert last year. He's still phenomenal.
Simply the best!...great Mellotron track too! best thing she ever did was to get with Keith Tippet and stay true to her ideals...........would've happend with or without him I spose. Ovary Lodge anyone?
great colour vid of the band,got sick of seeing the same old black and white bbc version that is constantly trotted out,and i agree with the comment from designermannyc,the best period in music,fashion,and free thinkinking,it all seemed to go wrong in the 1980s,im sure sum people will dissagree,im 35 and find the so called 80s revival vile!!! WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK N ROLL!!! ok then LOL!!
i love this track but where is the original? please don't censor anymore....... I think there is enough money to go round. Don't be a bastard. How fat are your kids? Ugly little miscreants I'll bet. Maybe not?
What does hip hop have to do with anything? There was lots of music to dislike or like back then, too. It is pretty absurd to blanket condemn all music produced today. There is loads of great stuff. As well it is ridiculous to claim all music back then was magnificent. There was a tremendous amount of dreck.
I find it hilarious all the people who wish they were there. I was. So, big deal. At the time it was taken for granted. For the most part.
First time I saw Julie Driscoll was in the 1960's appearing at the Klooks Kleek in West End Lane, Hampstead as part of the Steam Packet which also included Long John Baldry and the improving Rod Stewart.
Julie Driscell & Brian Auger and the trinity mit Clive thacker an den Drums. Brüssel 1968 aufgezeichnet für Sylvester Show belgien - France. Mit den Bee Gees wurde 3 wochen lang aufgenommen.
im lucky...i lived with them for a short while when i was younger and julie,keith,inka and luke are such down to earth people i must say its a honor to know them!!!! best regards mathew a.
i was lucky enought to see them do this when they opened for Zeppelin in 69. i was about 20 feet from them and on LSD. saw them both do four sets in two nights.
That's a pretty narrow view of the wide berth of hip hop music that has been and is still being made. Shit music exists in every genre, and while I don't disagree that a heavy portion of popular music, hip hop included, is pretty unlistenable, there's no need to demonize it in that way. If you don't think good music is being released now, you're not looking hard enough.
@ketysmith111 Absolutely right. Bob Dylan writes notoriously lousy lyrics...HAHAHAHAAAAAAA !!!! One wonders why he never included phrases like "F*ck your grandma" and "Kill your parents". YOU go f*ck yourself... If you can find any balls down there , that is. I guess your idiomatic choices prove my point way better than I ever could. I wish you all the wisdom and enlightenment any merciful God is willing to provide you with. Poor thing.
@jeanmanuforti That comment shows your ignorance, and the amount of thumbs up you have shows the ignorance of Julie Driscoll fans. You cant judge an entire genre by the examples you hear on mainstream radio. Do your homework before you insult peoples livelihoods.
@impatientp A genre…? Hahaha!! Scam is the word you're lookin’ for.Examples on mainstream radio? Examples of what exactly....Streetwise criminal li'l punks that wanna have us believe they actually have a ca(u)se beyond filling their greedy li'l punkass hands with the money of ignorant li'l snotnoses like yourself who think they 'got it all figured out? You know jack shit, that's what you know. The day you grasp the correct workings of a recordplayer will be the day we'll talk OK?
@WildeyBlue Calm down, please read my comment properly before replying. I said that the "examples on mainstream radio" are dumbed down versions of hip hop. I agree with you that there is nothing worse for music than snot nosed brats rapping about cars and jewellery. The point I was making is that there are plenty of hip hop artists who focus on positivity, modesty and intelligence. Brother Ali for example is one of those artists. Listen to his latest album "US" for a different take on hip hop.
@impatientp: Calm down? You really think you got me going? I don't care about you or your computerized crap. Or this mystical world of "music" outside of mainstream radio that us mortals don't know about. Not about this guy that supposedly toned down on his "f*ck yous"and his "slaughterthepigs" 'cos of the shifting public opinion nudging him to new windows of commercial opportunity. He's still an exponent of the Rip-Abuse-Sell Network.The Copy-Paste Circus. Technically ànd metaphorically.
@impatientp Part 2: What does bug me is that generations of kids are growing up while being fed with the idea that you can make music with a calculator. Well here's the news: You can do your books, devise rockets and plan spacetravel with it. Making music, however, is not on the list. Music is made by a guy with a guitar and a clean sheet of paper. By people with the instruments getting together, interacting, anxious where it'll take them. Playing...There's your artistic essentials right there:
@impatientp... ..creating something from nothing, something that wasn't there before you started. Using nothing more than Godgiven talent, musical skills and the integrity of your innerself. Yes, jeanmanuforti is right: we actually lost good music the be stuck with "talentless, racist, sexist bullshit like rap and hip-hop". Defended by the nitwit likes of yourself. Talk about ignorant..... These wouldbe gangsters musical rolemodels for our kids? Hahahaha!!!!! A big, sad joke......
@WildeyBlue I didn't ask about your stance on how music is created. You said that Brother Ali " toned down on his "f*ck yous"and his "slaughterthepigs" 'cos of the shifting public opinion", this shows that you didn't actually listen to any of the album that I recommended and your'e judging him on your preconceived notions of a very wide and diverse genre. You also, even though this wasn't relevant to our debate, said that music has to be started from scratch. The album I recommended contains....
@impatientp So you're King of the Thread now? We only get to answer to what you ask us? Think again, sir. I indeedy did not waste my time listening to your suggestion. "A very wide and diverse genre?" Yah, like porn is in cinematography. You got solos, couples, threesomes, gangbangs and whatnot. No preconception here, sir. I don't need to watch a movie announced as the potrayal of a 90 year old getting it up the rear unit from 34 hermaphrodites while blowing the Last of the Spermwhales, to know
@WildeyBlue Pt. 2 ... all live instrumentation and no, there isn't any rapping about misogyny, wealth or violence. Brother Ali is more of a poet than a rapper who also has a brilliant singing voice. Im not asking you to listen to a 50 cent or Jay-Z album, this album is very different to what you think Hip Hop is. Do you call yourself a music lover? because if you do then you should be able to at least give it a chance.
Either the first or second single I ever bought for myself. On the appropriately psychedelic-style Marmalade label. It's 'Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity'. I was 13 at the time and didn't find out it was by the Band and Dylan until I got into the Band later. No internet for instant expertise in those days! Happy memories of this song.

What does hip hop have to do with anything? There was lots of music to dislike or like back then, too. It is pretty absurd to blanket condemn all music produced today. There is loads of great stuff. As well it is ridiculous to claim all music back then was magnificent. There was a tremendous amount of dreck.
I find it hilarious all the people who wish they were there. I was. So, big deal. At the time it was taken for granted. For the most part.

First time I saw Julie Driscoll was in the 1960's appearing at the Klooks Kleek in West End Lane, Hampstead as part of the Steam Packet which also included Long John Baldry and the improving Rod Stewart.

How did we lose great music for the sake of talentless, racist, sexist bullshit like rap and hip-hop?
jeanmanuforti 2 years ago 70
That's a pretty narrow view of the wide berth of hip hop music that has been and is still being made. Shit music exists in every genre, and while I don't disagree that a heavy portion of popular music, hip hop included, is pretty unlistenable, there's no need to demonize it in that way. If you don't think good music is being released now, you're not looking hard enough.

ketysmith111 1 year ago
@ketysmith111 Absolutely right. Bob Dylan writes notoriously lousy lyrics...HAHAHAHAAAAAAA !!!! One wonders why he never included phrases like "F*ck your grandma" and "Kill your parents". YOU go f*ck yourself... If you can find any balls down there , that is. I guess your idiomatic choices prove my point way better than I ever could. I wish you all the wisdom and enlightenment any merciful God is willing to provide you with. Poor thing.

@jeanmanuforti That comment shows your ignorance, and the amount of thumbs up you have shows the ignorance of Julie Driscoll fans. You cant judge an entire genre by the examples you hear on mainstream radio. Do your homework before you insult peoples livelihoods.

@impatientp A genre…? Hahaha!! Scam is the word you're lookin’ for.Examples on mainstream radio? Examples of what exactly....Streetwise criminal li'l punks that wanna have us believe they actually have a ca(u)se beyond filling their greedy li'l punkass hands with the money of ignorant li'l snotnoses like yourself who think they 'got it all figured out? You know jack shit, that's what you know. The day you grasp the correct workings of a recordplayer will be the day we'll talk OK?

@WildeyBlue Calm down, please read my comment properly before replying. I said that the "examples on mainstream radio" are dumbed down versions of hip hop. I agree with you that there is nothing worse for music than snot nosed brats rapping about cars and jewellery. The point I was making is that there are plenty of hip hop artists who focus on positivity, modesty and intelligence. Brother Ali for example is one of those artists. Listen to his latest album "US" for a different take on hip hop.
impatientp 1 year ago
@impatientp: Calm down? You really think you got me going? I don't care about you or your computerized crap. Or this mystical world of "music" outside of mainstream radio that us mortals don't know about. Not about this guy that supposedly toned down on his "f*ck yous"and his "slaughterthepigs" 'cos of the shifting public opinion nudging him to new windows of commercial opportunity. He's still an exponent of the Rip-Abuse-Sell Network.The Copy-Paste Circus. Technically ànd metaphorically.

@impatientp Part 2: What does bug me is that generations of kids are growing up while being fed with the idea that you can make music with a calculator. Well here's the news: You can do your books, devise rockets and plan spacetravel with it. Making music, however, is not on the list. Music is made by a guy with a guitar and a clean sheet of paper. By people with the instruments getting together, interacting, anxious where it'll take them. Playing...There's your artistic essentials right there:
WildeyBlue 1 year ago
@impatientp... ..creating something from nothing, something that wasn't there before you started. Using nothing more than Godgiven talent, musical skills and the integrity of your innerself. Yes, jeanmanuforti is right: we actually lost good music the be stuck with "talentless, racist, sexist bullshit like rap and hip-hop". Defended by the nitwit likes of yourself. Talk about ignorant..... These wouldbe gangsters musical rolemodels for our kids? Hahahaha!!!!! A big, sad joke......

WildeyBlue 1 year ago
@WildeyBlue I didn't ask about your stance on how music is created. You said that Brother Ali " toned down on his "f*ck yous"and his "slaughterthepigs" 'cos of the shifting public opinion", this shows that you didn't actually listen to any of the album that I recommended and your'e judging him on your preconceived notions of a very wide and diverse genre. You also, even though this wasn't relevant to our debate, said that music has to be started from scratch. The album I recommended contains....

@impatientp So you're King of the Thread now? We only get to answer to what you ask us? Think again, sir. I indeedy did not waste my time listening to your suggestion. "A very wide and diverse genre?" Yah, like porn is in cinematography. You got solos, couples, threesomes, gangbangs and whatnot. No preconception here, sir. I don't need to watch a movie announced as the potrayal of a 90 year old getting it up the rear unit from 34 hermaphrodites while blowing the Last of the Spermwhales, to know
WildeyBlue 1 year ago
@WildeyBlue Pt. 2 ... all live instrumentation and no, there isn't any rapping about misogyny, wealth or violence. Brother Ali is more of a poet than a rapper who also has a brilliant singing voice. Im not asking you to listen to a 50 cent or Jay-Z album, this album is very different to what you think Hip Hop is. Do you call yourself a music lover? because if you do then you should be able to at least give it a chance.
