Welcome to thatwasrockandroll.

I've decided to put my encyclopedic knowledge of Rock's Golden Era, from the '60s to the '80s to use, with some pre-and-post stuff added.

Each day I will post a link to a YouTube video that transports us back to when guitars were the lead instrument (sometimes, not always), when distinctive voices were everywhere (Freddie Mercury, Eric Carmen, Elton John, Cat Stevens, etc.).

Nothing else--just a trip into your past (I'll assume a typical visitor will have white or no hair and have an AARP card).  Let's start.  Remember Eric Carmen?  Lead singer of the Raspberries?  Author of "Hit Record", one of the '70s most epic tunes?  A fabulous instrumental introduction, and another one at the end.  Press "Play" and enter the Wayback machine...

See you tomorrow...
