This Day in History
  Sidney Poitier Becomes the First African American to Win Best Actor Oscar (1964)The first African American to achieve leading man status in Hollywood, Poitier began acting with the American Negro Theatre in New York City and made his film debut soon after.

Deleted the first comment because it was kind of off base. I liked that era of music a lot. Pop music was very experimental and bands were trying out a lot of different sounds.
That band in particular had a lot of famous faces pass through it's ranks, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck.
I like it too, Barb, because that was what I grew up on. With two older sisters, I "had" to listen to the music they liked, always the last one w/ dibs on the record player!
My oldest sister liked this kind of music, but she was more of a "mellow" music lover. My other sister liked pop music but gravitated towards country.
On my own personal list, this would be one of the best ten tunes of all-time.
Yeah, Laura, Barb's a sharp cookie and she's right about this band. Not only this one, but others. (not that I can't list them, but the list would be long and I'm in a hurry)
I think during one period of time early on, they did dress like that, but I think it was a uniformity thing. I also think they finally realized it wasn't important and that no one really cared how they dressed. I expect performing on some national programs they wanted to make a good impression... who knows?
Thanks f/ posting, both of you!
I didn't have siblings but I hung out with my next door neighbor and her friends who were 5 or 6 years older than me. They were very tolerant of the little red head that was tagging along. I can remember debates about the who was better, the Beatles or the Stones when I was just a kid of 8 or 9. I had a little hand held transistor radio that I took everywhere with me, I was always listening to music, it's sort of the backdrop to my growing up.
I had one of those little hand held transistor radios that was my constant companion when I was about 16-17 years old. The radio stations were few and far between though and most of them in the area where we lived were country and western. I waited for evening to come so I could tune in to KOMA in Oklahoma City and listen to the pop music of the time. There was a lot of diversity in the music of the 6o's and I loved it all.
Did I say I love this song?
I can do this all day.
