Likewise. 62 years old, and I love reminiscing about all this wonderful music that was so emblematic of my youth. One of my favorite things about KZread is listening to all these songs from my younger days, and seeing these bands perform (which I never got to do.) Great way to while away a little time before bed (okay, sometimes a *lot* of time - ha!) Sweet, wonderful memories. Such fun!

Hands (thumbs) up who else agrees with me that this is simply a great sing along song from a great era of songs & bands ...Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)

A number 1 here in new zealand in 1974. I think it topped the american billboard charts as well. I was at high school that year. I wore my hair long and flared jeans were the fashion. Females wore mini length skirts but it was all about to change. Punk hanged fashion styles in the late part of the seventies. I was into that music.

My teen years. I won't trade those times or music like this for anything today. My times were better, and I think that's obvious.

What a wonderful time for the best music EVER. My kids and grandkids love my music I grew up with. The stacks and stacks of 45's next to the record player were testimonials to the events of the day. I think about happy faces, mad magazine, bell bottoms, Vietnam, Watergate, bikes with banana seats, POW I.D. bracelets and more. It was the worst of times, it was the best of times.

Right on, Pam. I love today and all the good things going on but not much can compare to this era. Collecting 45's was a staple in my family. They were very important songs, that told stories of great imagination and also fact, in some songs. It meant an awful lot to listen to these songs with the family. The older folks would start discussing what some of the songs were about (or what they thought they were about) and have endless good times, while doing so. Things are different today in a sense that there's no more "togetherness" Well, I do my best to spread that vibe around. Peace.

So at 6-7 years old with this great toon playing fairly loud and everyone having such a great time I snatched that Schlitz and headed right to the basement. Never told anyone that before.

Wow i was 10 years old, now 60, wonderful times❤❤❤

Loved Paper Lace Billy don't be a Hero was my favourite I am 64 this year and still play it on my playlist.

Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Back in the USA, back in the bad old days In the heat of a summer night In the land of the dollar bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still When a man named Al Capone Tried to make that town his own And he called his gang to war With the forces of the law I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of the old east side 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang Had surrendered up or died There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said "'Bout a hundred cops are dead!" I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed Then there was no sound at all But the clock up on the wall Then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my mama's face And he brushed her tears away The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be The night Chicago died (Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na) The night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw

U get it

The happenings of late, reminded me of this song. I grew up with it, and have it on 45. I was outside in the dark working on my garden, and was just singing this acapella when my husband came out and asked who I was talking too lol. I said no one. I was just singing. I hadn't heard it in yrs, and couldn't quite get the order of versus correct, so I came inside and pulled it up on yt, and so ...here we are. THANK YOU for hosting/posting this song. I think this is just one of the best songs ever, both lyrically and musically, and never understood why this wasn't a smash hit like some Beatles song or something. One of those songs, EVERYBODY KNOWS..if you know what I mean? I taught myself guitar. Led Zeppelin was my inspiration..how cliche I know. But I had a great background in music growing up. My grandmother knew JR Cash, and my other grandma dated Johnny Lee Wills, Bob Wills brother. He wrote the song Faded Love for her, but let Bob have it as his own or something like that. At least that is the story handed down to me. Anyway, thanks again.

❤ this.. brings back so many AWESOME memories.. garage and house parties.. my parents in the 70's we just BABIES my brother and i .. 5 to 7 years old 🎉.thank you for this. So Nostalgic. South Africa

1974 a great summer had this song and billy dont be a hero good times!

I was 4, 1971...my mum started a big grease fire and our house was filled with burnt oil and plastic fumes. Our cat, Sheba had 5 kittens....I put them in a Pilsner Beer Box and took them outside. Lethbridge, Alberta was a new place for me after that fire... I grew up fast and watched my mum drink herself into an obilvion after my dad's death July 28, 1970 This song is forever in my memory of the Summer of 1971 and my dad was never coming home from CPRAIL.... Peace geekee, love you always

I miss our music no cussing no nastness just good music

Loved this on Armed Forces Radio in Brussels Belgium while attending ISB high school in the 70s. A happier time than any of us realized.

Very nice song, I never had listened it. Thanks for share it.

This was the very first No. 1 song back in the middle of August of 74 when I started listening to pop music and kept track of the pop hits from Casey Kasem's American Top 40 countdown!

Loved this song for years !!!!!!

Late at my first night in Chicago, I realized that I always wanted to know that city thanks to this song... 😍

I remember k-Tel well. '70s and early '80s mid 80s music was some of the best '90s and little bit too old for that. I'm 63 now

Oh, I still love this song. My sister heard it, so I heard it too. I was a little child. But this song is always still in my head. 💗
