P.S. If you have been flagging music videos with a "like", you can replay the list and shuffle etc. I do this with the youtube music app and really prefer it to the garbage that it may mis recommend for me. I've flagged hundreds of music likes and thousands of video likes over the years (sometimes "youtube music" mixes one up with the other). Youtube music may be a premium only app, but what I like is they haven't obsoleted it as fast as regular youtube on old versions of android. Actually mine gives error msgs but still works on old tablets.

If you let it build for a while you can see why "Oh Happy Day" was a big crossover hit. I heard many of those Hawkins family members sing in one of the worst neighborhoods in LA; like the Jackson family they were super charismatic. More often I attended r&b gospel in bad NYC neighborhoods.

My college radio started broadcasting textual song names, and came up with this vibraphone marvel: "Cal's Guajira"

 

The same day I also heard a vibraphone somewhere in a 3+ hour Italian movie including Sophia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Fellini. On Kanopy it has english subtitles which seems hard to find on YT: "Boccaccio 70"

These 2 songs seem endearing because the classic pop artists play straightforwardly rather than in trademark avant garde posturing. Lou Reed does "Rock N Roll" while blurring the creepy lyrics. I actually bumped into him in Rome days after his concert. He was accompanied by an exquisite supermodel rather than some satanic transvestite more befitting his reputation.

David Bowie accompanies him for "Waiting for the Man". I saw him in a small concert on the east coast, whose edgy vibe influenced him more than the California scene.

Fans of somewhat edgy TV sitcom still in reruns "The Office" may be surprised that character "Creed" played in a famous 1960's counterculture band "The Grass Roots", here playing "Temptation Eyes". Pretty impressive playing of a red guitar (not on thumbnail) which seems to match the guitar in a more recent recognizable photo below:

Picture above is from Wiki but quote below is from vastly superior (but pictureless) https://grokipedia.com/page/Creed_Bratton. 

Quote

portraying a semi-autobiographical version of himself as Creed Bratton, the enigmatic and eccentric quality assurance manager at the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.[16] His character was depicted as a mysterious, free-spirited former hippie with a penchant for bizarre antics and questionable morals, often delivering deadpan, offbeat lines that highlighted his detachment from office norms.

P.S. for the one subscriber I noticed to this thread: I have tried to live up to your loyalty here, but can no longer maintain discriminating standards due to my new laptop having crap little speakers. Old large Macbook Pro had a luxurious multidimensional sound that brought out the best of songs...
