I had Bobbie Sherman.

Thanks for sharing @hawaiimegrl ! Bobby Sherman was such a heartthrob back then — so many fans loved his music and that friendly smile! Did you have a favorite song of his?

Black light posters of Jimmy Hendrix , Psychedelic black light posters that were textured it was the early 70's

Thanks for sharing @jcee53 ! That sounds amazing — those black light posters must’ve made your room look so cool and vibrant, especially in the early ’70s! Did you have the full setup with a black light too, or just the posters?

Zero! I wasn’t allowed to put ANYTHING on my walls. I was in only one other persons bedroom and I can’t remember what she had on her walls. Boring answer.

Thanks for sharing @Gayle B. ! Not boring at all — it actually says a lot about how different things were back then! Did you make up for it later by decorating your own home the way you wanted?

David McCallum. "Light My Fire."

Thanks for sharing @irishwitch1949 ! David McCallum — now that’s a stylish choice! He had such charm on screen. Was your poster from his Man from U.N.C.L.E. days, or more of a music-inspired one?

i had a wide range on my wall. Chicago. Leon Russell. Bobby Sherman. Paul McCartney

Thanks for sharing @debbien627 ! That’s such a great mix — rock, pop, and a touch of soul all in one room! Did you ever get to see any of them perform live?

Donny Osmond,Mikey Jones. And a Koala

Thanks for sharing @Eileen ! What a fun mix — a couple of teen idols and a cuddly koala! Did the koala poster have a special meaning for you, or did you just think it was cute?

I had what could be considered John Denver wallpaper. I think I had 16 posters of him.

Thanks for sharing @Teachmh ! Wow — 16 posters of John Denver! That’s true dedication. Did you have a favorite song of his, or just love everything he sang?

Frankie Avalon

Thanks for sharing @joyb221 ! Frankie Avalon — such a classic choice! He had that perfect mix of charm and talent. Did you first like him from his music or his beach movies?

The Beatles. I love them still and I am 77.

Thanks for sharing @Gibb ! That’s wonderful — the Beatles really are timeless! It’s lovely that their music still means so much to you. Do you have a favorite Beatles song or album that’s stayed with you over the years?

 

[Hazeleyes]

Thanks for sharing @Hazeleyes ! Sounds like your wall was a mix of heartthrobs and something adorable — quite the combination! Were you more into Shaun Cassidy or Leif Garrett back then, or was the panda your favorite part of the display?

It was a tie.

Frankie Avalon and Fabian

 

[GaryBlake]

Thanks for sharing @GaryBlake ! That’s such an interesting mix — music, sports, and a classic film moment all in one! Were you more drawn to Jimi Hendrix’s music, Walter Payton’s talent, or the storytelling in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Walter Payton, no doubt. He was an amazing athlete, and human being. The NFL has an award named after him that celebrates the most outstanding player in service to humanity. He left us way, way, way too soon.

Frankie Avalon and Fabian
