I turned 5 years old in January 1965. By then Beatlemania had already hit Singapore (where I was born and still live) and my older brother had brought me to the cinema for A Hard Day’s Night. Music was always in the air - great music! Sandie Shaw, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Seekers, Georgie Fame …. the list goes on. Love these videos. Please keep them coming! Thanks!
@@freewheelingideas What a crap, when I was born 1948, there was no R&R or whatever, long before 1965 the world was swinging. I don't know whats behind these fake facts you are forwarding here. Money?
Great job! Minor quibble though, the My Fair Lady poster shown is from the Broadway and West End show with Julie Andrews. The movie starred Audrey Hepburn. Excellent Petula Clark info!
Love these vids. Truly an amazing time in world culture and music. I was born in 1967but would have loved to have been a teen in the 60s to experience the amazing number of great musical acts as it continued to evolve and group by leaps and bounds. Keep up the good work with this channel!
This was very entertaining. I love the music of that era. I finally made a trip to the U.K. several years ago and visited places like Carnaby St, Abbey Road, Bag O' Nails... A great trip! Ty for the vid. 👍
These 60's videos are great. I was a teen age high school kid back then and remember it well. Shame it's deteriorated into the garbage that's out there now.
'60s and '70s have to be the absolute peak of styles and creativity. The vast range of genres and styles we went through is absolutely eye watering. Today we're trapped in limited styles dictated by the rap straight jacket, today's ineffectual and dull r&b and the boy/girl bands. The types of music written then will never be repeated (eg the prog rock stuff or punk or even post punk) and I wonder if folks will ever yearn for the likes of Bowie, The Clash or the creativity of any number of acts from back then. God help us if Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran is the height of creativity going forwards (when AI will do the writing for maximum commercial effect). Sorry to be so jaundiced.
@@briangraham1024 There's a few bits that I do take my hat off to (like who the hell am I ?) but it's just not a "play me again" thing. That says a lot.
On another note, I've always loved Petula Clark's "Downtown"! Sometimes when I'm in that section of my city, I find myself softly humming or singing the tune as I walk around window shopping. But, I gotta say that I find it pretty odd, the pronunciation of her name. I thought it was peh-TOO-la Clark not PET-u-la. I guess it's a Brit-thing. Kinda like how we American's say "SKEH-dule" (schedule), while they say "SHED-ule". 😅
1965 ...a great year for music. I am 8 months in the womb loving every minute of it!😅
You were in your womb wistening to wecords? Seriously though, these videos bring back great memories.

Remembering my childhood here.
Thank you from Amsterdam. In 1965 I was 18.

Much more interesting and creative times.
Interesting little survey - but please note the singer of Downtown pronounced her first name Pe-TEW-la (emphasis on second syllable, not first).
Thank you
This is when I came upon it all, as I had just gotten a transistor radio for Christmas, age 11. And so it began.

Yea it’s a great song for the optimistic types! Thanks for sharing!
No prob! And, I'm also happy to learn that I was right about the "mystery person"! 🎸 😄@@freewheelingideas
Detroit was the Paris of the Midwest.
those days featured an extremely wide range of musical styles and genres all mixed together. songs had to be short and catchy or they didnt make it
