Sing Along

Gottlieb's 'Sing Along' was released during the golden age of electro-mechanical pinball machines in the late 1960s, a time when the pinball industry was experiencing strong growth and innovation in mechanical game design. This four-player machine embodied the cheerful, music-themed entertainment that was popular during the era.

The machine's playfield design featured musical notes, instruments, and singing-related artwork that perfectly captured the folk and pop music culture of the 1960s. Its mechanical gameplay included the standard pop bumpers and kick-out holes typical of the era, but arranged in a musical theme pattern. The backglass artwork likely depicted people singing together, reflecting the social nature of group singing that was popular in the 1960s.

As an electro-mechanical machine from this period, 'Sing Along' operated entirely through relay switches, solenoids, and mechanical score reels. While not as well-known as some other Gottlieb titles from this era, it represents an interesting intersection of pinball and musical entertainment themes, during a time when both industries were undergoing significant cultural evolution. The machine serves as a historical snapshot of how pinball manufacturers incorporated contemporary cultural themes into their designs.
