@dublinblue4 I don't see how there will ever be another decade like the 70's music in the next 1000 years--nothing before it or after it will equal it. Seventies music reached it
pinnacle of maturity. Rock and roll was in a revolution. I think Susan jacks is beautiful and I love her voice especially on "Winter Milk"! It's a shame that the video's are in such bad condition to watch. It would be nice if we could have access to all original sources and have them converted to HD 1080.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I just want to say I got a chance to meet her a few years ago 'Hippie days' on 4 th ave in kitsilano.She still looked beautiful and was very nice and she signed my record too ! I was so happy :) She was sitting outside at Sophies resturant signing a few autographs.My favorite song is ' Which way you going Billy ' .
I wish they were still a band. Even though I wasn't alive, when they were a band, I'd so go and see them live. I love the quality of the lyrics, the pain you can feel in it.
wow George..U know Susan too?? u never told me...what u said was u did like the Ziggy Stardust persona...and the dude/dudette who sing " You Spin me round"...and hey thats ok in the modern world...but u should come out publically as there isnt near the homophobia there once was...:P
This Song does have such an awesome hook, and she is so angelic singing this
song. It was 17 weeks at the number 2 position on the charts. That is a sign of the hook. How many people in this world play music, and never even get a recording done. Give credit where credit is due. Terry Jacks & his wife were on TV, and the charts and were making their money from music..... did not have to work a day job that they hated like the rest of us. Be nice and enjoy in their blessings !!!
To say this song sucks, is really not a fair statement!! The late '60's music was changing constant. Hendrix, Zeppelin, and such were blazing new trails that had
never been done. This song was written in the AM RADIO days and has a great hook. To say it sucks, is like comparing a car from 1947, with a 2011 model and saying the old car sucks! It might not be your cup of tea but please respect the
fact it did make it on the charts and it was written in the 1960's!!! Thanks !!
Wow Glad to see all of you people who enjoy this song. Happy Canada Day to all concerned and Happy 4th of July 2011 to all on "Happy Island" ( another great Poppy Tune)
THE BEST AND SO SO SWEET ,,WISH WE COULD GO BACK TO THESE DAYS AND WHAT A WONDERFUL TEENAGE DAYS AND LAZY HOT SUMMER S WITH ROLLER SKATING AND LOOKING TO THE FAIR COMING TO TOWN ,,,COULD RUN TROW THE GARDEN HOSE ,,COME IN WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS CAME ON
These are real music to anyone's ears! It's got meaning to it and you can actually understand what they're singing and not all the screaming kinna singing!
ALSO TO YOUR RETARDED COMMENT, SIT BACK AND THINK, HAVE U NOTICED TV COMMERCIALS AND MANY MOVIES ARE USING AND PLAYING SONGS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S? NOT LATE 1990'S OR NEWER? CUZ THEY SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS AN EARLY 70'S SONG, STUPID ASS, 2ND, LATE 90'S MUSIC WASNT MUSIC, IT WAS NOISE, YOU MORON, AFTER 1989, MUSIC WAS GONE AND U CANT COMPARE IT TO THE 60'S AND 70'S REAL AND GOOD MUSIC
you are right 1989 was the year music tanked with milli vanilli and it never recovered. new people got into position of power in 1990 to decide what will get heard and produced and what will not be heard or not produced.
this is one of the BEST songs of the late 60s, and there were plenty of good ones too. I used to listen to this on 77 WABC on my little transistor radio at 8 years old. :'o)
Shinedown..Save Me.....Collective Soul..Better Now......Three Doors Down..Not My Time......Alice in Chains..Your Decision....... the songs mentioned above will stand up to ANY sixties or 70s songs..period....and Hooties pop pap isnt image wise in the same universe as any of these guys or even Pearl Jam..who were collectively better than most of the 60s and70s bands..
@shadoww1000 Cool man, I actually went ahead and downloaded the four songs you mention. Will listen closely and figure 'em out on guitar. That will ensure an appreciation.
love 60s..70s....but u need to also listen to Shinedown ...and Collective Soul...and Prelude to June... and Three Doorsdown..there IS lots of good new music as well
@shadoww1000 thanks for the suggestion. I checked out these four bands on iTunes samples. No offense, but they're all in that Alice in Chains/Pearl Jam/Hootie vein...each song sounds similar to the other, but none stands out. I sincerely want them to be good, but they don't deliver the HOOK. It's hard to write a classic song because the melodic structure has to be very unique and strong. Not blaming these bands. I think it's a collective muse that anoints certain eras, not others.
the 0767572 - i hate bein negative, but u suck ASS u negative m*therf*cker!!!!really f*ckin really?!! ys it gotta comedown to shit like that! good tunes transcend all, mofo! n we all bleed the same f*ckin color!!!!!! *sshole!!
@michael97501 lol my dad does have a 1968 corvette and i do love the music, my family uses propane tho, i spend alot of time outside, i went to a couple of concerts, and i do talk to people in person, hey what do you know its like i am in the 60s and 70s lol thanks for the advice
my names Billy,, its like shes singing to me btw im only 14 and i think this is good music, better than any of the stuff thats out now. i wish i could spend a year in 69 or 70
Such a beautiful voice. It almost makes me screaming. That was a phantastic time. This song I've heard 2 years again on radio first time after almost 30 years! What a shit are they listening today...
"Billy",, was the nick-name of my girlfriend at the time, And a "Change of Underware" took place Later,,, many times "After" letting her sit in the passenger seat while Racing the 1/4 Mile Drag-Strip.. Not to many people get to go from "0" to "148" Miles Per Hour in the 1/4 Mile, in, "10 Seconds".. It takes 900 Horse-Power and a "456" "Gear Rear-End" and lots of money (for Repairs),,, to get to that...
Incredible song! I had completely forgotten this song, but it all rushed back to me when I heard it again. I was in first grade back then. What happened to musicians like this who had talent down to their bones? It's a shame that not only is this type of musician is gone, but that a "musician" of our time can't even get the National Anthem right!
also mrsteve , i do like seasons in the sun , even tho terry jacks /from this song ,were forced to botsh the words ,so the radiio a.m. would play it . its a great poem written by rod mckuen! p.s. , i dont speell check , ha ha
i heard this in the 1970s and thought it was from 1974 but it was out earlier than that.
early fall 1989 when i could no longer stand most top 40 stations i went to the right of the dial and found a station at work that played this. it was a station owned by the great scott broadcasting company.
This song along with "Everything is Beautiful" by Ray Stevens was played by the local radio station outside Ft. Dix, New Jersey, every morning at 5:00 a.m while I was in Basic Training. I smuggled a small radio into the barracks and listened to this music every morning for about eight or nine weeks. G_d, what memories. The Drill Sergent discovered my radio the last week of basic. Times were different then. I missed being sent to Vietnam by one name on an alphabetical list.
GREAT song man do i miss the seventies ; what great music . The Carpenters WERE the best but people actually sung and not with hate or violence like today crappy music.
@thekenandcam1991 Are you kidding? Music didn't really become worth listening too until the late 1990s. I admit that this song is really good, but it's probably the only good song from the 1960s.
@AWinterDemise Yeah, sure. You're being sarcastic, right? If not-- please suggest a few titles from the late '90s "worth listening to." I sure must've missed it.
@takfam07 Well, I admit that the pop music from the late '90s sucked. But that was when Metal music really matured and became worth listening to. Youtube search for band "Thorr's Hammer"; song: "Troll". It's Doom Metal by a girl with vocals even better than the vocals of Susan Jacks. It's from 1996 and was the dawn of a new era in beautiful music. Check it out.
@AWinterDemise OK, now I see you have an impish sense of humor. But thanks for confirming what I always thought-- that music disappeared from '90s onward. The modern artists did nothing more than watch TV, get stoned, hang out at malls. There was no resistance, everything was handed to them. Bicycle helmets, car seats, safety belts, warning labels, political correctness. No inspiration, no muse. Well, glad I lived through the '60s and '70s and heard the good stuff when it was happening.
I grew up listening to Susan Pesklevits / Jacks and I don't think I have ever heard as talented a singer as her. Her voice is as beautiful today as it was then.
@peter8099 hey never thought of that, but the Time is about right. And Billy "Jack", what a coincidence if it is not about him/ those movies. Now I wonder too ...
Susan I grew up when you had this hit. It was slow dance for rollerskating. This was a true puppy love song. A true longtime fan from Canada girl!!!!!!!
I have to agree... One of the most stunning voices to ever come out of Canada... And that's saying a lot considering that Canada has had some VERY stunning voices over the years. I had the pleasure of meeting her years ago, and she is truly a wonderful person.
i really miss you for all my life ..you really hurt me J

@AWinterDemise Yeah, sure. You're being sarcastic, right? If not-- please suggest a few titles from the late '90s "worth listening to." I sure must've missed it.

@takfam07 Well, I admit that the pop music from the late '90s sucked. But that was when Metal music really matured and became worth listening to. Youtube search for band "Thorr's Hammer"; song: "Troll". It's Doom Metal by a girl with vocals even better than the vocals of Susan Jacks. It's from 1996 and was the dawn of a new era in beautiful music. Check it out.

@AWinterDemise OK, now I see you have an impish sense of humor. But thanks for confirming what I always thought-- that music disappeared from '90s onward. The modern artists did nothing more than watch TV, get stoned, hang out at malls. There was no resistance, everything was handed to them. Bicycle helmets, car seats, safety belts, warning labels, political correctness. No inspiration, no muse. Well, glad I lived through the '60s and '70s and heard the good stuff when it was happening.

I turned 17 in 1969. Perfect age!
Most of us woul go back given the chance/choice.
1969 was full of thrills for me and the music made it all just great!

I grew up listening to Susan Pesklevits / Jacks and I don't think I have ever heard as talented a singer as her. Her voice is as beautiful today as it was then.

@reyes224 Yup -- a few years before "Seasons In theSun" -- but that's Terry Jacks. He and Susan Jacks were married at the time.

@reyes224 Susan and Terry formed the Poppy Family. He didn't really sing on this song though....he's just moving his mouth to look like he did.

I have to agree... One of the most stunning voices to ever come out of Canada... And that's saying a lot considering that Canada has had some VERY stunning voices over the years. I had the pleasure of meeting her years ago, and she is truly a wonderful person.
