Ok, the first half I was thinking "I just don't get it." Then I thought, "I just don't get Mike." Then in the last 10 seconds, I realized your scheming plan. You were showing off your leadership ability to get me to blurt out random "I love you"'s all day tomorrow. Nice work ;)

OK, I'm just taking a guess that this song was recorded before I was even born! LOL!
But it is interesting how music has gone from "I love you" to today's music with MUCH different lyrics.

Hmmm. . . I see I am more outdated than I thought. Very good investigative thinking, though. Andy, I like that scheme. I wish I'd thought of it!

yes, music has changed.

What was cool was that the video even exists!

This band, called PEOPLE, came out in the late 60's. That was their one big hit. It would later be picked up by the Zombies, and many who know the some (if there are "many") think it's a Zombies' song.

They called themselves "People" to counter all the bands of the time that were something other than people, like the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Animals, The Turtles, etc.

Their songwriter, the one who sang "and I don't know what to say," would become well known by many in the 70's and 80's as becoming the "father of Christian rock and roll." His name is Larry Norman.

I'm amazed that this video even exists. That is cool!
