One qualifier, it had to be somewhat popular. Me "coming of age" in the late 70's early 80's most of my stuff is from that era. Don't judge the music of my teen years.

 
I have been on a "colored" music kick for quite a while. I can only imagine in the late 40's or 50's being somewhere all alone tuning your radio to a static filled station and listening to things like this.

And it is good music. That is the thing, it is actually good. When you think about music today it is just so much garbage. I am aware many would have thought this was pure trash back in the day. But if you listen to the music, how it is arranged, it is flowing.

I had that when I had a really long commute, now it is "only" about an hour one way. I listen to podcasts now. I bet I have not done over the air radio in years. That said I have a play list of songs on my phone. Quite often my phone will say no network connection or something to that effect, and the streaming music will stop. Well crap, guess it is radio. Turn that on in the shop, and it is the same 10 songs they played 10 years ago. Yea classic rock, but you know there are other things out there then the most popular ones. Play the "B" side once and a while.

Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Reelin and Rockin' - Chuck Berry

Cocaine Blues - The Grant Bros, Johnny Cash, Geoge Thorogood and others.

I'm not sure Bohemian Rhapsody would get airplay...you know, gun violence and all.

I was downloading songs off a friend's computer years ago, and going through his list of music I found an old Johnny cash song, cowboys and niggers. I looked for it on YouTube, but as you might guess, it isn't there.

“Hello there, white mamma jamma!”
Not Johnny Cash.

Money For Nothin.

THIS ----> Fuck Corporate Radio Broadcasting .
' Money For Nothing ' .. driving, it was playing the other day on radio and I immediately knew was wrong . I can not believe they have the balls to actually Censure/Remove the whole 2nd verse of the song .

See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

.

You're right. I stand corrected.
 
every song , and in every musical genres ever made anywhere if it makes people smile , happy or nostalgic it would not be alowed to be made today . in essance anything worth listening to would never be able to be made to day pop and rap ( and only some of that ) would still exist .
 
Colored Spade from the musical "Hair." I actually saw it in S.F. back in the day.
The first sounds like the original as I remember it.


The 2nd is different. Shows lyrics. Suprised Screw Tube hasn't banned them.
