Photo Friday, No. 623

Current Photo Friday theme: Motion

This record on 45. There are some songs that define an entire time for you. “Tighter, Tighter” came out in May of 1970 and reached its highest point on the chart in August. Never mind how old I was that summer–I’m 135 now, so you do the math. But I can tell you that it was one of the most amazing times of my life. Music, TV, friends, books–everything I did that summer and everywhere I went was fun and magical, and I seem always to be hearing this song in my memory. Naturally in the great scheme of things, there are more significant songs than this one-hit wonder that Tommy James delivered to and produced for the band Alive And Kicking. And the 1960s and Summer of Love are part of the soundtrack of my life, too, but…

But 1970 marked not only the start of a new decade, it was the growing into a new me. I still hold those people and summer days and nights in my heart and will always. Some of them are still around and know who they are. Some are gone, but they are never really gone.

You know I got to show you
Nobody else before you
Ever gave me such
A beautiful feeling…
