I remember what I wore because it was New Year's Eve and my boyfriend/would be ex-husband, had a party at his parents house, down in the finished basement. This was back in the day of HiFi's and 33 & 1/3 albums. If the stereo was your parents, you could stack 3 or 4 records to drop, but if it was the "sound system" of a music connoisseur, they owned a "turn table" and only one could be played at a time. We were at the parents so the record player was loaded. The thing with that CCR album was the long version of Heard It Through The Grapevine was 11 minutes long. That's a long time to be dancing to one song. Frankly, I am reminded more of the dress more than who I was dancing with. hmmmm. Guess I really liked this dress and the silver shoes. ( Remember my mentioning how my mother cut out the "bad parts"?
Having said all of that, when that song comes on an Oldies station, what pops into my mind, first thing?
These guys.
They still make me smile.

Cute dress..I wore silver shoes in 1969 too..your Mom was handy with a scissors! I love that song..and the raisins:)
Kathy, you always make me smile :) I haven't found time to watch The Big Chill yet (or Sommersby, which I've recorded), but when I do, I'll think of you dancing the 11 minute version of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"!
I absolutely loved the California Raisins when they came out. I still have a couple of them around here someplace...
I'm happy to know that I wasn't the only one who guessed wrong about the FICO :) and yes, we may be like the Waltons around here, too!
Come to think of it, I'm already wearing an apron sometimes--just like grandma and Liv...and our table is beginning to resemble theirs, with 10 (sometimes 11) people gathered around! And my old black PT Cruiser looks like something from that era, too. LOL
