BOBBY SHERMAN - "Easy Come, Easy Go" (1970)

It continues to baffle me why bubblegum music is ignored by oldies stations. It's as if they want to rewrite pop music history. This charted #9 on Billboard. That's not enough of a hit?

I was born in 1968 so I didnt know about him growing up. But several years ago VH1 did a count down of the greatest teen idols ever and Bobby Sherman was right in there with David Cassiday and company. Went on to be successful in law enforcement & just sounds like an all around decent good guy. He's the type of teen idol that you don't hear about because he didn't embarras himself or get into scandal after his idol years were over.

@emerybayblues No, he's not in law enforcement. He's an EMT.

most people 'grow out of' this lame ass type of music. Some people confuse sentimentality and nostalgia with quality, and start defending the quality of the music, and THAT is a losing battle. Think about it- a studio full of first rate session muscicians and the song still sucks. Because it is tin pan alley crap, made by the same vile tribe that produces most of the filth which is called media .

@7mikethebike I just checked out your channel and found a clip that you called "not bad at all." It's the group, Earth, singing "High Command." Talk about vile tripe (and it's tripe, not tribe). Pure garbage--just noise and sound. This is your idea of "mature" music that we should grow into? Your stupid comments mean nothing here because you clearly have no idea what music is. Go back into your hole and listen to your dreck and leave us alone. What a joke.

it's ignored because it's shitty, vapid stupid music made by venal singers to get little kid's to make their parent's spend money. It is an embarassment, and most want to forget it. Like the kids music of all modern eras. 99% crap.

[MrTrashcan1]

@7mikethebike Well, out of 54 that voted 52 liked it. Almost 24,000 people sought out the video, and unlike you, probably not in order to torture themselves. The majority of comments here are positive. And as for parents spending money on kids, it's more likely that Mattel, Hasbro, Kenner, etc. had a greater influence on their parents' spending patterns than the music. Fine. From a great Avengers episode called Pandora, "We've heard your opinion and we'll mind it."

Ditto. I realize, it will be 39 years ago, this summer, when this song came out. I was a lad of nine, just getting out of the third grade.

Where did all the good tunes go?

[foreilly1958]

This guy is the real deal! From on the top of the hit parade to "On the job" Bobby Sherman is truly a great guy.

Thank you for posting this neat tune.

Best regards,

Bobby Sherman does not get played today because it just does not have that much lasting value. This particular hit was built on Bobby's star power for that brief period in time, and the music and lyrics was not enough to carry it on.

You don't hear One-Two-Three-Red-Light and Yummy-Yummy-Yummy either. The Bubble Gum Fruit-gum Company, they did not have a face or identity for their songs. One of the only bubble-gum songs that I can think of that still gets airplay is Tommy Roe's Dizzy.
