Yep. There is a song called a different world and it is sung by a guy named Bucky who was on American idol a few years ago and I got to tell you for a young guy he must have questioned every grandparent in the neighborhood of how it used to be because he talked about drinking water from a garden hose and your friends came over to play you played outside families went to church on Sundays stores were closed on sundays. Trust me, that song will hit home with you

Back in I'd say maybe the mid-70s I was sitting listening to my radio and the DJ said we're going to play Grand funk singing this song 10 times in a row and I sat there the whole time listening to those 10 times and loved every minute of it. Congrats to that DJ

Dug this in 74 ! Still diggin it in 2021 !! 😘🙏💜✌

Grand Funk!! Man, I haven't thought about these guys for a long time!! I was in the 8th grade, going into the 9th, when this song came out!! They used to play it on like a record player at our school dances. Along with Time in a Bottle, Seasons in the Sun, Sunshine on my Shoulders, Midnight at the Oasis, etc. I would religiously listen to Casey Kason every Sunday afternoon on my little transistor radio, singing right along! That brings back some great memories!! 💕

Never realised that Grand Funk Railroad cashed in on the "Glam Rock" look when this song was on the charts. Loved it back then. Fucking love still now. Best version of the song IMO.

Every time I see Mark, I razz him a bit about those days. But all in good fun. He's still great these days though. He hasn't lost his voice, and still puts his heart and soul into what he does best. Thanks for being a friend Mark.

I remember dancing to this at Jr. High dances in the early 70s. Some good memories of a difficult time for me.

I miss these days!!!!!

A damn good song then. A damn good song now. Thank you for posting this.

From Little Eva to Kylie Minogue to Grand Funk Railroad to Atomic Kitten, this song, no matter who does and interprets it their way, it's almost impossible to mess up. And GFR does it up right!

I'm just a Japanese 66 years old man. Since the end of the 2nd World war, about 12 years later, the songs of Elvis, Pat, Paul, and Ricky had landed in Japan. After 5 years from Elvis Presley, we Japanese had experienced the coming of Little Eva, J. Tillotson, Cascades, Ronettes and Lesley Gore. By the way,I am understanding the delicate relations of the stories that 「It's my party」 and 「Judy's turn to cry」 which were sung by Gore. Anyway, I've been loving Little Eva's Locomotion which includes lovely dance. But now, I must confess that I was extremely surprised to hear「 Locomotion」 of Grand Funk Railroad. Too marvelous!

Tommy Ireland I hardly knew Marvin Gaye. therefore, According to your recommendation, I've heard "what's going on" which he sang. So, I could feel a kind of emotional soul. I think he is one of great singers like Johnny Mathis. Nowadays, I often listen to Neil Young, James Taylor,Linda Ronstadt . Above all, the LP record like 「Harvest」 always strikes my heart. I like old LP records than CDs. Well, Would you mind to enter the next words into KZread's frame for searching? 「AKB48」 「fortune」 「cookie」.　You'll run into present Japanese hit song titled 「Fortune cookie in love」. This seems to be receiving a little the influence of the joyful innocent slow dance of 「 Little Eva 」or「Temptations」. Please inform this to your granddaughter or other children. M Takahashi
