Yeah I'm old.
My very first pop concert. "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" were at the top of the charts.
My grandparents let my sister and me go because they probably thought they were a gospel group because of the name The Righteous Brothers.
My big sister and I are sitting on the front row of the balcony grooving on them and the grandparents are totally shell shocked.
Clean-cut white boys singing that "nigra music"!!! And it's LOUD! My grandmother actually used that word when she told us not to watch American Bandstand on Saturday morning. We should be watching Lawrence Welk instead. We wouldn't have been caught drunk in jail watching Lawrence Welk.
We all laughed at her behind her back for saying "You all shouldn't be watching that nigra music".
I guess I should have said, "Yeah, that Dick Clark guy, he's really really black."
