One of my best buds in highschool had a two tone 62 Cutlas with buckets, black and white with grey interior. Although I sure it wasn't a factory option, it also came with a case of ice cold Blue Ribbon in the trunk.

He also was fortunate enough to have a father who owned a radio station here in Atlanta. "Big Daddy" as his father was name for having 2 large twin sons [and probably for being white and owning the only black radio station in town, WAOK] in the 60's had concert tickets galore.

We double dated [now there's a phrase I haven't said in a few decades] to free concerts all over the city. Ray Charles,Otis Redding, The Ramsey Lewis Trio, even Sonny and Cher [when he wore that goofy vest] et al.

But the show of all shows was "James Brown and the Famous Flames" held down on "Sweet" Auburn Ave." at the Royal Peacock.

I have been to hundred's of concert since, but Nothing can compare to the showmanship of James Brown.
