‘That’s what my heart did!’ (‘Hop, Skip, And A Jump,’ Bedrock Rockers, 1972)
A very good holiday weekend to everyone. For the last Funshine Friday of the year, let’s visit once again with The Bedrock Rockers.
The short musical clip below features the tune, “Hop, Skip and a Jump” and comes from a circa late 1972-early ’73 episode of Hanna-Barbera’s Flintstone Comedy Hour. If the song reminds you of The Partridge Family, that would make sense, as many of the same musicians (The Ron Hicklin Singers) are featured.
