I never thought of that, Sharonna! Ha! If I remember right, this image is from a poster for the movie "American Graffiti." I don't knowe what came first, though, regardless! Yeah, I looked- - the entire video is all related to the movie. :) Either way, both images are indeed similar for sure! :)
Great question Welby. Well, for almost two decades, there was a song I neither knew any lyrics to nor who sang it. For some reason I always thought it was part of Janis Ian's At Seventeen but I could never find said segment by searching any version of At Seventeen or any such song by Ian. I had all but given up when, last year, I was listening to AOL Radio's 70's Channel and almost flipped over backwards when I heard the song and checked to find out it was Helen Reddy's Peaceful all along! Listen and enjoy...

Thanks for the 'thumbs up' for my question, bevo! This is a lovely song -- I've never heard it. It's a lovely image of Reddy someone chose for the video, too.
I also heard this delightful tune broadcasting from the airwaves back in the early 90s but only learned maybe 3 or 4 years ago that it is titled Out Side Your Door (Talk To Me) and is sang by Me'Shell Ndegeocello.
LOL... yes, her unusual last name and also the fact that she never seemed to cross over to success in mainstream popular music. I first heard this song on an independent fusion jazz radio station back in 1993.
I was dumbfounded when I found out this song was from 1992 by this group! If there ever were a Revolution song from the 1960's, this is it!! I still think it sounds straight from the 60's!
What a kick a** great song!

So many.....I hear little snips of them in films and and get my phone to listen.....if the tv doesn't have the remote nearby it's often impossible to find what I was listening to......
Arron Neville's Crazy Love was the last one I found yesterday......I miss more than I find....:(
It's such a wind up and so frustrating when you hear them..... i watched and taped two films on night...both were really good films with John Travolta in....Phenomenon and Michael.... One I knew had a song by Bonnie Raitt that was so moving...for years I thought it was in Phenomenon and watched it many times listening for it.....One night I fell asleep watching it again and was awoken when the second film came on and got nearly to the end and that very song was playing...
Subconsciously the music woke me up so I could find it again.....lol
They remind me of Petra Haden -- a group of female singers. I lvoe their rendition of the theme from Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Psycho." (Bernard Herrmann's original score is, for me, the best score to any movie I've heard.)
Anyway, even if you're unfamiliar with the music, it's a great listen and under three minutes.
PLOT SPOILER!!! "PSYCHO"!!!!! However, if you haven't seen the movie, close your eyes and just listen because this video has HUGE -- and I mean HUUUGE plot spoilers to the movie. Except maybe watch the very first little snippet of a scene here before the music starts -- it's my favorite scene in the movie -- and Anthony Perkins is awfully handsome here!

I've seen the film twice I think....and I don't know why I watched it again...I don't like violent films ....Films that depict graturitious violence just to shock are not for me....I hate images like that in my head...
Im more It's A Wonderful Life person.....I did like Saying Private Ryan though.....it had some beautiful parts in that film....it showed the horrors of war as we'll..
My favorite part of "Saving Private Ryan" was at almost the very beginning- - a black gov't car is pulling up to a farmhouse drive to tell the family that some of their sons were killed in the war - - and we see the scene, the car driving up, strangely enough, through the mother's feet/lower legs as she walks out onto the porch. I loved that scene for some reason. Very moving for some reason, too.
That scene and the one just after the American sniper shoots the German sniper through his telescopic scope..."an impossible shot by the way" ...it's the little girl that gets given to the GI's to look after.....when Tom Hanks hands her back the little girl slaps her dads face....both so moving ,both bad me in tears...
You loved it as as your emotions show that you are human and not evil... :)
