The Stonewall Crowd's Songs' Favorite Select Lyrics
"Stand!" (1969)
by the gender- and racially-mixed
group 7-member Sly & The Family Stone
Stand!
In the
end you'll still be you
- - - - - -
-
You've been sitting much too
long,
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
There's a midget standing tall,
And the giant beside him about to
fall!
Everybody....
Stand! Stand! Stand!
* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Nothing But A Heartache" (1969)
by the soulful girl group trio The Flirtations
Nothing but a heartache every day
(Nothing but a
heartache)
Nothing but a teardrop in every way
(Nothing but a
teardrop)
Loving a bad guy is such a sin
(Yeah!!!)
He's got me....
Oh, why can't I get him?

"The Young Folks" (1969)
flipside song by the legendary girl group trio Diana Ross & The Supremes
They say yes and you say no,
They ask why and you close the door;
My old friend, I thought you knew by now,
You can't do that to the Young Folks!
Oh, no, no, no, no
They're marching with signs,
They're standing in lines (yeah);
Protesting your right to turn out the light
....in their eyes!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stonewall Jukebox 411: In the "Stonewall Era" -- and before and after -- patrons at clubs and bars
got to hear what they wanted to hear by dropping
a quarter in the
jukebox. "Perennial favorites" at The Stonewall were
not
all in the jukebox at once! Quantity-wise, it would have been
impossible! However, upon request from known patrons to the owners, different songs
were put back into the Stonewall jukebox '40' selections from time to
time. Like the Gay kids, the Mafia boys had a keen affinity to The Shangri-Las!
