This Day in History
  As the World Turns Premieres (1956)Soap operas began in the early 1930s as 15-minute radio episodes and continued in that format when they began appearing on TV in the early 1950s. As the World Turns premiered as the first half-hour TV soap. The show, which primarily focused on two professional families in the fictional town of Oakdale, Illinois, ran for 54 years and aired nearly 14,000 episodes. For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

I was only going to watch for a second but found myself listening to the entire song! On a side note my hair wasn't blonde but I used to wear it just like that! What year did this come out, Mike?
It came out in 1974, Sis. It was in a YT recommended videos and I thought I had posted it before, but guess not. It was one of Rex's fav. tunes.
I was only 24 years old when that song came out and now I have a granddaughter that's 22. Where did the years go?
They were more of a "bubblegum band" when they came out w/ songs like "Little Willy", "Fox on the Run" and they came out later with this, a little harder. Their last hit was "Love is Like Oxygen", so they really never established any type of identity or specific genre associated with them. I just remember Rex being nuts about Ballroom Blitz.
I remember certain songs and when the first time I ever heard them. I don't remember any Sweet songs that way, but I remember where I was on other ones...one being Long Cool Woman by The Hollies (was with D. Buice and Emmy Bailey (now Bean) waiting to go into the Tri-State fairgrounds. When I hear other songs, I'm brought back to the time they came out, such as Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album when I lived in Denton. Other than certain smells, sounds/music bring back the most specific memories.
A granddaughter that's 22, doesn't seem possible. OTOH, I think it's been 22 yrs. since I had sex. (it hasn't been, just seems that way)
I have 3 grandkids that are in their 20's and 2 more that will be 20 on their next birthdays. Addison is the youngest one and she was 15 on her birthday in August. And then I have 2 great grand kids. Caidence is 18 months old and Zayn will be 3 months old on Christmas day. So guess great Uncle Mike is also great-great Uncle Mike. Does THAT make you feel old?!!?
I guess I'm not just Grunkle Mike, but Gr-Grunkle Mike now.
I am Nana to the grandkids and Grana to the great grandkids. Sarah's baby (Eve LaVon) is due the last of January and I will be great-aunt Sharon (GAS) so Sarah calls me Aunt Gassy--not exactly flattering but that's okay with me!
