I Never Saw Free To Be You And Me

and i just spent the LONGEST time on youtube watching excerpts from it.

(i was mid teens when it came out--way too cool to even notice it at the time)

it looks really dated. would it still go over with "today's kids" i wonder

1. I had to watch that twice in elementary school.

I don't think I could ever forget the sight of Rosey frickin' Grier (member of the LA Rams' Fearsome Foursome in the 60's) singing "It's Alright To Cry"

4. i'm just wondering--that movie came out in 1974--were you shown this

in a class?

i wonder if grade schools had it in the curriculum.

and when they decided to stop showing it.

5. I watched in the 2nd and 3rd grades in class.

This would be around '83-84 in Orlando. I think all the kids in our grade watched it as part of the curriculum.

From Wiki: The television special first aired March 11, 1974, on ABC, earning an 18.6 rating/27 share and went on to win an Emmy. 16mm prints of the special were also struck, and some schoolchildren from the 1970s remember seeing the television special projected in schools in that period.

6. I had the Marlo Thomas LP of that song

and others like "It's alright to cry". I didn't know there was a movie...I loved that LP though. At one point I knew everyword to every song on it.
