Jay and the Americans - Only in America

Only in America, which was originally recorded by The Drifters with new "patriotic" lyrics, but refused to release it because they (black peoples) did not believe that message and eventually gave to Jay and the Americans.

@mnestrt For those out there who may have forgotten - back in the days before a beansprout salad was dinner and washboard abs were considered a sign of beauty, that's what normal, healthy young women looked like...

@BrazRos1 Thank you for getting my point. those dancers from Hullaballoo and Shindig were very real back in the day. Real women have curves. Also real beauty is about good health, not an impossible to maintain body image.

@Godzie1 Back in 1963...this song was not a lie. Imagination, initiative, a backbone and hard work could take you far. It's a shame it can't be said for this society today.

Thank your respresentatives...and I use the term loosely...for the nightmare you live today.

This guy looks like Michael Nesmith of The Monkees!

Nowadays he's a fatass, bald, dresses poorly, and sounds like my dog...

@BrazRos1 No complaints from me, there was so much natural beauty back then.

I remember hearing this on my Grandmother's stoop in NY when I was 13 I liked it but not because of the lyrics they went in one ear and out the other For some reason I don't really know I still liked the song

Man this song is a lie?
