I was 14 in 1967 I was spoiled in those days cause just about every other day a great new song would be played on the radio. I feel sorry for today's youth, today's music stinks.
I totally agree. Mom and I had that conversation the other day as we were talking plans of when we go see Toto and Journey and then I said about if I was born in the 70's and went through my teens in the 80's that I'd be smack dab in the best era of music and I'm sure I'd still hear the great songs of the 50's and 60's too. To me as a 32 year old the music that is out there now sucks! The 90's-early 2010's weren't too bad, but now its like what happened?
Me Too
A men brother
I was there too! So good.
Yup..and they all still classics. Our cups had runneth over!
My hubby was in Vietnam and this music saved me! When depressed the music was a dial away on the radio! Thank you for the music! He is with me tonight! My forever boyfriend!
God saved me.
Good life to both of you
Thank him for his service and thank you for staying with him
I'm 72. Life is so short!! I will miss it terribly!! Grateful to God I have lived a full life❤
You will miss it terribly????? I'm 70, and I know any day could be my last, so I figure, what's the point of worrying. I try to enjoy every day, and not let anything bother me. I don't go to the doctor anymore, since I lost my sweetie 10 yrs ago to cancer, what's the point? Be told I have a life ending disease, so spend the rest of whatever time I have left, worrying, when right now I chalk it up to getting old.
I thought that I would play this video to relive the music that was being played when in June of that year I met my husband. We were both 16 and were married in 1971. We celebrated 50 years of marriage last August. It's true, just listening to this music has made me feel young as I am now 71!
BAH BAH BAH LADY
❤
Congratulations on your anniversary 💕
I was born that month. 56 yrs ago.
God bless you thank you
My best friend and I would stack the 45s on a friday night and listen until 2 am, those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end.
My best buddy and I would do the same thing. Best of times.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
That's it that's all I got
Peace ☮️ my friend
@@dougbonner7586 I was just reminiscing that song when I came across your comments, I still have that record along with many others from mid sixties to early seventies, had many after that but never were quite so nostalgic!
@@carolparker6976 A truly great Russian song from 1925! My dad was 2 years old. But the English version from 1968 had a great impact on the pivotal 60s and the generation born in the late 40s and the 50s.
It is certainly an appropriate set of lyrics for you, me and most of these other commenters in their sixties and seventies.
I recently heard a list of "top 20 songs about teachers"
"To Sir With Love" wasn't anywhere on the list. I couldn't help but wonder who was the idiot that compiled the list.
Hand made music. No computers. No samples. No loops. No autotune. Just great voices, great music, talent and a very strong desire to sing... I miss these things...
I don't know. Some of these original tracks are pretty harsh and not all that good once you take off your rose colored glasses (or earphones). Most would never make it today - not necessarily because of the artists, but because the expectations of the audience. Remember, "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" was a top 10 hit in 1972.
And no rap !
Amen ! Yearning for the 60's
Huh. There was sampling, double tracking, signal manipulation, ... you didn't know this? Not to the same extent as now but there sure was sound manipulation.
@@geraldhills41 ... they called it skat
I may be 44, but my parents had great taste in music... long live 60's and 70's music.
you may be 44 but Stevie Wonder was 17 in ‘67
And 80s music was good too.
Rap came out in the 80s that was getto trash!
Same here with my parents they mostly are fans of the 60's and 70's music and some 80's. To me the 70's and 80's was the best era for music.
Great memories. Am 75 now but still makes me feel "young" again!
Me too! I’m 66!

Yes, I’m another septuagenarian. Fond memories.
Met my wife in 67 we got married in 69 and August 3, 2020 we are on our way to 52 years still able to sing EVERY song on this video today. Music is the backbone of Life.
Congratulations Jim great achievement I'm not far behind you, this kind of music has been a help to me during lock down here in Ireland as it brings me to a better time.
We married in 69 too. It's devine you see
...Sue knew me when she came to Jr. High School...I didn't know she existed until 1966...graduated 68...military until 1970...married Feb. 13, 1971...still singing the songs...
Congratulations.
Another great saying. Music is the timeline of our lives!
WHAT A YEAR FOR MUSIC...1967!!
Try finding just ONE song, a fraction as good as any of these nowadays. Great memories! 🤗❤️
Hi Rosey, How are you doing?
The aliens must’ve taken over
They’re all fantastic!
... and DIDN'T LOVE MOTOWN???
“To Sir with Love”. First movie date with my future husband. His Dad drove us. We were 16. Now 54 years later, we’ve been married for 46 years and have 2 beautiful daughters, and 2 beautiful granddaughters. I really really miss those days. We weren’t perfect, and the times weren’t perfect, but life was simpler and love meant a lot. Music is a big big part of emotional memories and so important to share with elderly loved ones.
Do you think any of today’s music will still be alive and remembered 50 years from now?
Not a chance!!
Not to mention, an Oscar deserving movie!!!
Just got back from Vietnam, married Sandy and just celebrated our 51st. Music was everything…great times. Todays youth looking at a screen nothing to remember
Vietnam, civil unrest, killings of black and political leaders doesn't seem so simple.
I’m 70 now and we had the best music and bands growing up. The kids now have no idea what real music is. So glad I was a part of it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Janice, How are you doing?
77 years young and I really miss all the good music back then. Glad I had the chance to live through the 60's music mania. It was awesome!!!!
Brings back memories of the best summer of my life. 17 years old, 70 yrs old now, and there are fewer miles in the windshield of life and more in the rear view mirror, but thanking God for a great one, 2 fabulous daughters and 4 kind, responsible grandchildren
I'm not far behind you Gary. Not sure about god, but I know the music and sure helped...
Gary Kerkstra Me too. 70. I can’t believe it. 🙀🌺
michael anthony Me too. I’m still in the beatle boot/ mini skirt mentality. 🙄😂
One year younger but I know what you mean. Great music!!!!
Gary Kerkstra Same age mate.
Living in today's screwed up world ...I wish I could go back to 1967....even for just one day😥😥✌️✌️🖖😽
The best year for music, film, and books. You know it!
I know, mija. But sit somewhere quietly. Close your eyes, and play all that great music that you loved. See yourself young, healthy, and happy. It will refresh your mind. Try to remember just the good for a few minutes. Count your blessings then. And as difficult as it seems sometimes, count your blessings today. God really does love you. ❤ I wish you well.
Not me. I'm the frog in the warm water and I don't have the strength to jump out of a kettle getting hotter..but if I went back to 1967 and then had to come back to THIS the very next day, I'd KILL MYSELF right then and there!
@@kenglavens6455 I mite not want 2 come back....I do remember what fun it was....need 2 rethink✌️✌️
2024 and still loving this music. Thank you.
It’s amazing how eclectic the mix of music was on top 40 radio in 1967. Everything from adult contemporary to “psychedelic”, R&B, rock, and just good old pop, one right after another.
... don't forget Motown and soul
@@tmcche7881 never forget that, some of the best stuff!
Some 50’s but 60’s and then 70’s where amazing. The eclectic aspect is certainly missed. The 80’s began the decline for sure. It’s never recovered. Obviously some great songs scattered through the years, but really too manufactured and way too sleazy. Just after this came Carol King, James Taylor, Eagles, Creedence Clearwater, Don McLean, more Soul the Beatles where still being played for 20yrs the Stones kept going… just off the top of my head without seriously composing a list….. Mammas and Poppas, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, Bread, Chicago, John Denver… it’s an enormous list of creative genius and talent…My adult sons all listen to the best from those eras and virtually nothing from 90’s onwards. So it’s not just what you heard in your formative years, there is a difference between eras.
Our life in a whisper.
David McGovan "Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream"
Soundtrack of my youth and now I realized how blessed we all were.
Ditto
Go find a DVD of “Standing in the Shadows of Motown”. Excellent movie about the backup bands that played with all the Motown artists.
@@jimbower9268 Thanks, Jim
Great quote; the soundtrack of our youth!
And I feel I was in the best era. The 80s especially the Australian 80s but l loved the 60s too.
Got back from the Nam, and listened to these everyday in the hospital, kept me from maddness.
What’s ‘the Nam”? We’re you really there and which regiment?
@@rivermoon6190 Show some respect.
Nice one mate, glad you're not suffering as many vets do
Welcome home . . . Tom CPL USMC CDR USNR
God bless. Hope you are well.
I was born in 1963 and grew up listening to this music because my parents adored music and I thank them both RIP ❤️
I was The Year before January 62
To ja już chodziłem do szkoły!
I was also born in 1963 but living in the UK half of these I have never heard before we only had the BBC 🤔😭
@@MichaelWilson-lt5lv Same here, and I seem to remember a whole load of other songs from that time that weren't on here. Having said that, I am more into the progressive stuff these days, for example The Nice.
ME TOO STANFORD MEDICAL CENTER, BUT GREW UP IN THE EAST SIDE OF SANJOSE, GOT THE BEST OF LA/ SF, MILK, ORANGE JUICE ON THE PORCH.
I love how you can hear the words and hear the quality of their voices nothing was electronically altered like it is today you heard the artist you knew how true their voices were. In my eyes and heart we had the best music in the 60s and 70s and even some in the 50s
And yet in 67 the Beatles produced an entire album wrapped around electronic and vocal manipulations.
I agree. Late 50's, 1958 song by Jerry Butler, For Your Love, the 60's music, 70's and the 80's musice was pretty darn good to. Then it all dropped off the radar screen once that stupid rap crap took over the airwaves. Music wasn't the same anymore after that.
@@danbasta3677 music was great from the sixties to the early eighties ......then it slowly began to die.....I've been hoping for a resurgence of the old school style ....almost every genre of music including country sounded better back in the day.....so musically ....many of us have no choice but to live in the past......by the way do you mean for your love by Ed Townsend .......or for your precious love by Jerry Butler ......they both sounded great.
@@davidcarr7436 So what? Nobody said musicians couldn’t try different things even as they produced good, clear sounding music that was uncompromising in talent and quality.
@@davidcarr7436 No they didnt. It was like 1 song and it was purely experimental. It was new, not laziness or trying to mask a lack of talent.
I was 14 years old. The music was so memorable. I miss those days. Didn't know how blessed I was
Same here.
Ann.you and me both.😜😜😜
I was 7 .. best time for music 60's and 70's
Every week there was a new record out and they were great tunes. So lucky to be 14 then.
I was also 14 then. Some girls in one of my classes kept telling me one of the girls in that class likes me. She is sitting next to me now.
Only 30 songs? 300 songs would never be enough to explain how it was incredible the 1967's sound.
I'm 67, watching videos like this makes me happy and at the same time depressed. I don't know why.
Yes, I am agree. I am 67 and married my high school sweetheart. A few months ago he was called by God. And I hope to be reunited soon with him.
Because you were young and full of life with decades ahead of you. Anything was possible. And now all that is gone and life is what it is. And you sense your mortality.
I do.we miss it.
I am 55 but understand totally
I am 66. Yes, I agree - for me happy because this is some of the greatest music of all time, and sad because I don't think the world will ever hear music like this again. I am elated that my kids, and so many other young people enjoy this music more than what is out there today - a powerful statement.
Nothing can compare to the music of the 60's, it will never happen again!!!😪 I really miss those days of being on a "Carefree Highway"!✌❤
What a concept! music was actually musical! No angry hateful lyrics. You listened and smiled!
It's horrible now. I know I sound like my parents but it's true.
Temps forever
Innocense has been lost
Sign of the times 1964 on; 1964- NJ no bio 1972! 58, 138 lost lives. Didn't have too! One of them was my uncle. Bio mop hi kip
Absolutely! ♥️🎶♥️
I was 22 years old in 67 and I can remember nearly all of these songs. Now at 75 I have my AirPods and go walking listening to many of these golden oldies , swinging my hips and smiling. Great fun and I unashamedly dance in the kitchen too. I live very much in the present but slip back into those past days when I feel like it. Why not.
I was 11yrs.old by 3/30/1967. Uncle was kia in SouthVietnam mid 3/68 10 days before my 11 bday, but I think the The Rat Patrol was playing. I THINK 12 O'clock High was on its' last season?
Hello Joan, How are you doing?
At 22 years old you do remember 67 like it was yesterday! How palpable were the anti- vietnam war sentiments then? I was 10yrs. Old and had an uncle kia there mid-3/68, tsil end of TET. Ten days before my 11th bday the bad news came!
Why Not, Is Rt Joan! 👍 And I'd be swinging my hips with u if I lived nearby and so wld alot of us! SOOO happy I grew up in this Era even if it makes me Older Today! Wldn't give it up or trade it for Anything in the world... especially for Today's world and music!! 👎
Peace~
LOL hahaha I was only 4 yrs old and still can remember listening to this music in the late 60s and early 70s. It was nice clean no non-sense music. Love singing to it now. Glad to have it on UA-cam to take us back to a great time in music.
I was a teenager in 1967. Some of the best songs and the best times of my life. I still own a 1967 Chevelle. What a year
I bet you were and still are beautiful
Wish I would have kept my Chevelle
your in good company I was 14 it is our music we share the sounds we own it all, thank you for memory ,John Rooney Manchester moss side aged 69yrs
Out of sight, hip to the groove,groovy , far out, dig it.❤🤩😎😄👍
I sold my 65 Chevy Malibu for $175.00 11 years later! Hello!
Vacations on cape cod in a wood sided station wagon filled with kids! Then woolworths with every lipstick in frost ! Oh those were wonderful times!!!
Hi Mary, How are you doing ?
Omgosh, loved Woolworths ❤
When I was growing up in the 60s I thought music would always be this good. Boy, was I in for a surprise.
Man you said a lot, I thought the same thing, when disco hit which was ok it went down hill from there.
12 years old with an AM radio that played this stuff all through the night when I went to bed. Great memories.
Wade Kingston It’s like most of Modern Art - rubbish. The finer cultures are being eroded by AI ...
Wade Kingston SHOCK, more like. Today’s music is crap
Hard to believe music has degenerated this much,that’s people for ya.
Obviously a good year for music, but then the whole decade of the sixties was exceptional for the sheer variety and innovation.
Yes the whole decade of the 60's was indeed exceptional. I don't know the criteria by which this person chose these songs. Because although they were waaay ahead of their times with their landmark 1967 album Days of Future Passed, the Moody Blues did release two songs off that album which were important. Nights in White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon. Those tunes got heavy airplay on the FM stations that were exploding at that time. But It wasn't until 1972 that those two songs were released to AM stations and the masses became aware of them. Again, they were ahead of their times. But too often they get ignored or overlooked for their great contributions of the 60's, 70's and into the 80's they were still producing hits. Just had to get that off my chest.
Let me begin to list the bands who came on the seen Jimi Hendrix 10 years after Led Zeppelin the mothers of invention grand Funk Railroad the doors Jefferson airplane The who grateful dead
maybe music wasnt ascontrolled as it is today :(
Point Dexter exactly!!!! because the music was allowed to be different ... not as controlled
@M M I agree about fashion as it really was more colorful and pretty for at least girls and women. Soon the sea of blue-jeans would take over and make for less interesting fashions-sigh....
The summer of love, how times have changed. Bring back the 60's .🤘🤘🤘🤘🍁
I grew up at the best time ever. We had the best music, hippie era and awakening of eating healthy. We were free spirits! I would not want to be a young person in this world today.
Nancy, I often share these thoughts! We didn't have all the negativity there is today!
Nancy, and everyone was kinder to each other.
Yes, everyone was kinder!
Hello Nancy,
How are you doing ?
And we all had religious support and guilty conscious to keep us straight
Hearing these and other songs from the 60's brings back memories of things I hadn't thought of in 50 years! They were all good memories too!
If only I could go back to the sixties. I would ride my tricycle up and down the sidewalk.🤣
I was 11 years old back in 1967, however, this music is all totally, BEAUTIFUL to me and to my ears. The 60's music is one of the very best decades out there.
How lucky were we to be young in the late sixties early seventies
@Decimus Septimus Tutelus 1950 for me
From 1950 until about 1982 I know all or most of the hits. Somewhere after that my brain turned off to new music with a number of exceptions.
Classical and Celtic, Zydeco and music history is my muse today.
Hey Decimus, now you dinosAur
Class of ‘68. Great music ‼️‼️‼️‼️
They certainly were the best times, best music with no worries ❤️
Those were my teenage years - wonderful memories. The music was done without synthesizers, it was the real deal.
Feel very lucky I was able to experience all of it, as they say "I lived through the 60's.
Hi Susan, How are you doing?
The summer of 67 I met my husband, we have been together since and we celebrate our 50th in September, loved the music in this video, it brings us back…. So blessed to be a teen in those days
Hi Christine, How are you doing?
My wife and I married in 1967.We remember all these songs Thanks for the memories!!!. Next month will be our 50th Year Anniversary.
+AL Lopez Oh congratulations!!! That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
God Bless
Congrats 🎉 probably 51 years now 😎
Lol, I was born a year later
Well done Al and wife.. All my good wishes to you both.
I am truly amazed at how 11 minutes seemed to sum up my life of music in '67. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the memories.

I know, I know!!! All special have special meaning. Not a bad one in the group! Damn!
Great music from the 60s and there will never be artists like this again. So much of the greatest talents and memories!
1967 EASILY the best year in the history of pop music because not only there was so many great records ,there was also great variety with so much creativity.
67-69 party time. Some how I survived . Married in 70 but we didn’t stop the good times! Together 50 years now❤️❤️
God Bless you both and stay safe !
Awesome!!! 💝
Great to hear that. We are at 47 years and remember 67 like it was a year ago. Bless you both.
@@tomnaquin8903 same here, married 50 years this July married at 16 in 1971, loved end of 60s early 70s music, always thought 60s was the best music, loved the Moody Blues still do, OH how I would love to go back to the 60s young, carefree without a worry in the world!!
@@carolparker6976 your as young as you feel. That was the lesson of the 60’s. We’re Timeless…
I remember each and every one of these and heard them all when they were first released. Man I'm getting old.
Naw...! You're still living to enjoy this GREAT music!
Man you ARE old so am I ha ha ha !!!
Me too
Me too!
I was 9, and while 1967 holds very sad memories for my siblings and myself, our Mom passed away unexpectedly, we too were a “music” loving family and these songs helped us through a lot.
Music was so many different sounds by different groups- distinct from one another.Not copycats of each other.67 thru 75 was fantastic music!!
I love these songs, in 1967 I was 10 years old. Times have surely changed. Family and social structures have really changed since then.
Thé sixties were so so good , glad I grew up in that time . Oh to go back !
Yes, they were! I was 17, my first boyfriend, and enjoying this music. 🎶❤️
Get a time machine
U NE BOTH!!
In some ways, 70s were better.
Me. Too
I was 22 and had no idea what a wonderful time I was living in. Looking back, it's one of those things you really wished you could do over.
And JOU still have NO IDEA?
@Fred Smith How strange, I was in fact there and I get what you are saying here. I was arresting a fella one night, and his name was Fred Allen Smith. He gave me about six stitches in the upper lip and I gave him a number of tracks from my black jack.Oh yeah, I was there alright, I'm 74 and Fred Smith was killed in a bar room fight.
@Fred Smith I was 17 that year and I remember all these songs. Not everyone did drugs. A lot of kids started after they graduated (or most dropped out when they reached age 16) from high school (not so many during high school). As years went on the age of kids experimenting with drugs got younger and younger and the percentage of them increased. It's sad that this happened.. Look at the way it is today. A lot more dangerous drugs available and a ton more deaths.
I know what you're saying. I wish I could have yesterday back. I was 11, but those days left such great memories in my heart.
We’re the same age and I was there as well - but as a young Marine headed to Vietnam. Crazy times, crazy people and sweet music. Oh yeah - mini skirts, see through tops and no bras!
By ‘67 music in America was absolutely incredible. I recall hearing all these songs non-stop on the radio as they were first released. Nearly every genre anyone might imagine all in the top 40 all at the same time. It was simply incredible and kept getting better and better year after year until the 80s when MTV took over. At the same time all this was unfolding hi-fidelity, stereo, stereo on FM, and multi-track recording were all coming together. It seemed like everyday brought some kind of amazing breakthrough that helped make music sound even better and great music sound greater. Amazing times!!
Hang on, some of these aren't American 😂😅
In the 80's it was RAP that killed any and all music. Nothing else was even allowed to be played. A disaster for the youth and music lovers of all generations.
And the UK.
Just America? 😒
I agree!🎉
I was in 5th grade in 1967. I think that was still one of the best years for music. I can remember riding with my in the car. I would turn the radio to WIFE in Indianapolis to hear all these songs. I would turn it up and she would tell me to turn it down. It was an ongoing struggle. But the tunes were just absolutely great.
What's this song where the young man is driving a motorcycle and he gets killed and the young lady is crying?
Leader of the Pack.
the 60s was an incredible decade for music. i'm so glad i experienced it first hand. wonderful memories and over 50 years later i love the songs just as much now as i did then
And I bet you remember all of the words!
Me too! And yes, I remember the lyrics! Funny, even now in my 70th year young....I remember! This was real good music!
Also the 60's were the strongest decade for social justice. The great men , Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, all died in persuit of better america for all americans
....and most of these songs are still played on the radio to this day!
I find it funny, I was 8 years old in “67”, and you’d think I be more into 70s music but for some reason I find myself listening to 60s music more than 70s. No matter, both decades rocked and still do.👍
I was born in 63 and I always say I was born too late.
I feel the same way! I was 7 then and I've always preferred this music all my life.
You are smart.
Born 57.. but loved 60s esp Beatles and 64-68
I was overseas that year but all these songs were being played all over . Best years of my life . Wouldn’t train for the world
Hi Gene, How are you doing?
Who ever thought that these would be the good old days wish I go back
Me too
Me 3. How the hell did I get to be 71 years old.

I was 13 in 1967, now listening to all this great 60’s ...I remain a teenager at 65...staying young with this awesome clean, cool music .
Oh ya..
blue222blue oh ya ...
I am 65 and the worlds oldest teenager. These were the songs of our lives.
John Densmore was the anchor of the Doors !
The Following ....you young whippersnapper. I've been a teenager since i was 10, i'm now 67 and still in my teens. I'm going to have the entire Motown catalogue played at my funeral with the doors of the crematorium locked, they'll remember that one. You're invited.
WOW!!! What a GREAT year for music and one of the BEST years in the 1960's! LOVE the live performances, too! What cherished memories of yesterday that will live on forever! Thanks for sharing! 😎
A good year. I graduated from High School in 1967. The music brings back so many memories.
Them
as well
So did I, where are you from?
@@Shopmyst Brooklyn New York!!!!!
67 graduate here.@@annemariedimola1785
We won't get music like this any more thank God we have you tube so we can listen to the great stars of yesterday
just the said the same thing to another fan. still happy and grateful we're still alive to be watch and listen.
Amen to that!
There is a lot of wonderful music being created today, just not on the mainstream media. But I agree that the music from these years was something special.
My most cherished Christmas gift in1967 was a portable record player with two remote speakers and a Bobby Gentry album.
I got a portable record player in 1963 or 64 and my first 45 record was Andy Williams "Cant Get Used To Losing You". Both were a gift from my Aunt. I still have the 45.
1967 I had my youngest child the 1965 my oldest child only had two daughters still had a good time
Same, but I got the Doors
Let’s be honest, the music was great,But our youth is what we missed the most
I was a teenager living in Dunellen, New Jersey in 1967 and recall listening to these songs played by Dan Ingram on WABC New York. A delightful walk down memory lane. Fabulous times!
WABC! I lived by that station.
Almost all of this list are evergreen classics. Everyone knows at least one of them. Can’t say that much about today’s music.
AGREED! Hate rap crap jungle junk.
Couldn't agree more, even the song ' evergreen ' is a classic, Roy Orbison's version of Evergreen is awesome.
@@danbasta3677 Dan, you just ruined the mood. Keep your hatred to yourself. People like you cause a lot of problems. You must be down with the proud boys.
There are a lot of bands still making music from big band to Acid rock bit people who claim that music isn't made anymore are the ones who don't bother to look for it now
We know them all!
So glad I was a teen-ager in sixties, great music ❤️❤️ wish we could have songs like this today ,😘 Shirley h Darlington England 🌹🌹🌹🌹
They were the days 60s and 70s best music ever young carefree and single
And lived in Northern Ireland at the hight of the troubles we didn't care we had a ball
When was there ever this many talented groups all cranking out hits that overran each other like a hail storm.
Great comment
Every one! 👍
In 67 I was 15 growing up in Houston, poor as a Church mouse. The music made us all equal.
I was 17 growing up in Houston! Hey there!☺️😜
I'm 68. Listened to 60s am bubble gum. And then someone gave me a Buffalo Springfield album for my 14th b d. No more bubble gum or am radio for me. Playing guitar got more difficult but more fun.
I was 14 growing up in San Antonio hey Texas family ❤️😍
@suiterd62 Aug 1967 arrived at Yankee Station
15, growing up in Wichita Falls!
Interesting to both see and hear the music 50 years later. Some songs still move me the same way they did from back in the day on a very emotional level. That is very cool.
And you never forget the lyrics.
Brenton Wood record holds particularly fond memories. :-)
Interesting how high quality songs are mixed with simple pop sings.
Today it's only shxt that's in those top charts.
Everything from five-part harmonies and original drum riffs to singular voices that sounded like nobody else - Much missed.
Greetings from Mexico, I love what I am seeing on your profile. I apologize for jumping into your comment in such a way. I'm really looking forward to get to know you better. If you're comfortable with it, I'd love to talk somewhere outside the UA-cam comment section. and get to know each other a bit more intimately. What do you think about that?
It was a beautiful time for music. It took away from from the sadness that was happening around the world. I loved that era
Recently, my 85-year-old mother said to me, "Your generation had the best music of all." I had to agree with her. I'd forgotten Expressway to Your Heart. Thanks for the reminder.
Tenessy whiskey😎😁
My kids in their twenties also love the 60s and 70s for music.
Soul Survivors, mentioned in a steely dan song "hard times on soul survivors" dont know wth it was about
We will never hear music like thisthe rest of our lives
You're so right. We won't. ❣️❣️😥😓💔
That just might be why it was so great.
My worry is that if I am unlucky enough to end my days in a nursing home and I GET to go to the social hall,the staff will play Dean Martin and Lawrence Welk. Hope I am not on the first floor because I will try to do a final jump.
I would give anything to go back to those days...
I wasn't really into music, until I got my first transistor radio in '69 at age 10.
But, the 60's and 70's were truly the BEST time to be growing up!!!
And the BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME during those two decades was such a big part of it!
God, I miss those times!!!
This when music was music. Brings back so many memories! I was 16!
Hi Elaine, How are you doing?
Interesting mix of rock genres in the late sixties: psychedelic rock, Motown, folk rock, hippie rock, acid rock, soul music, British rock, artsy-songwriter-single performer rock, etc. We don't have that variety in today's rock music.
We don't even have rock music played on the radio much less a variety
No criativity nowadays.
@@zampieritto Horrible!
Why? Why oh why can't they make music like this any more? Where has all the talent gone?
These kids ,or evan oeople in their early to late 50s too, have no idea if what it was like back then. It would consume most of my day just getting at the tip of the iceberg of this Vietnam Era time along with the music that coincided with it!
The year I went to Vietnam. Missed a lot of great music, but most of was still playing when I came back in 1968.
Thank you for serving! I'm certain it wasn't easy, and I'm equally certain that it changed you. I hope the music helped, and continues to help, you heal.
once again i'm chasing, that bright, illusive butterfly, by, bob lind, & the Poppy family, '66
TA, OR THANKS, A KIWI TERM~ LOL
Both of my brothers went i was too young , one got a purple heart from injury the other was a medic. Thank you for serving.
Glad you made it back
I was a student nurse living in a dorm with 29 others on our floor. Gosh , we really shook the walls of that 100 year old building when we all played our radios on the same channel. I think our generation had the very best music. My boyfriend went to Viet Nam that year too - fortunately he was in the Navy so he wasn't really in Viet Nam - just near it - which I was grateful for.
Hi Virginia, How are you doing ?
Thank you for that great memories ❤❤❤❤
I agree with you. Objectively, the late 60s had the best music, and that's not even my generation. It's vibrant, creative, fun and gorgeous.
I’m may be nit-picking but please, it’s nursing student not student nurse. No one says student doctor, it’s medical student and law student not student lawyer. And yes, I’m a nurse.
Those of us in this era? SO lucky!!!
Hi Sue, How are you doing?
Where did time go? What I would give to go back then for 15 mins so I could tell my Dad I love him and give him a hug and tell him thanks. Thanks to all of you for your service in Vietnam!!!
To Jeff Zitek - appreciate your thanks, I was in country during
This time; the music has loads of bittersweet memories attached to it.
I would give everything to go back to the 60s to hug my Mum who died in 1968 at only 47
We used to drive her mad with the 4 seasons Lets Hang On to what we got
I'll always be proud of our Vietnam Vets!💕
JEFF ZITEK
You bastard hypocrite, one moment you speak of 'love' and next you glorify mass murdering!
He knows!🌷
All these tunes are GOLD!!!!
I used to sing these walking to school..thanks for the memories.
I was 7 years old. Listening with my dad on AM radio as we took yet another road trip.
Beautiful memories.
Love The Association, and The Buckinghams, The Loving Spoonful, Bufflo Springfield, The Airplaine. Some great music was made. Music brought us together. .
I was born in 1942 and I met my wife in 1962. My son was born in 64 and my daughter in 67. I am now 76 and living in a care facility until June 2019.
Richard Vollet Good luck to you
That’s a very concise history.
What happens to you after June?
Richard Vollet How are you
@@oldsrocket8841 going to switzerland
I was 14 in 67. So innocent. Music was everything. So many memories. Bittersweet
Well said.
This seems to be an American '67. I was 12 and still listen to those bigger hits of rock in that list. There were some amazing artists in the British charts too at that time.
Carol Strachan out of all the countries in the World none could compare with Britain and the USA for the staggering number of great pop records FACT.
'67 was the year of the highest number of the greatest songs in history.
1964 is my vote.
Both 1967 and 1968 were the best.
@@tomc642 And, I would add 1966!! I'd give anything ( almost) to relive those three years!!! Damn!
Actually, 1966 had the largest number of new pop songs introduced.
@@Melinda8162 What do you think we're doing here on UA-cam?
Wasn't it great? OMG!!
One of the best years in music! I was 12 years old, and my transistor radio was almost always with me.
Ell Dee Funny your describing me in the seventh grade @ St. Stephens. A transistor radio for my 11th BD a year prior.
I was 2.
I was 8 then turned 9 when Windy was #1 all of July.
I was 0 🌸
I can't think what my teen age years would have been like without this music growing up.
I was 7 in 1967 I’m now 60 and love 60s music 💙
I would have a glass of wine with you
1967 was a great year for me. I lived through child birth. Thanks mom.

Memories...
Daniel Dennison welcome Home🇺🇸
Thank you for serving!
Daniel Dennison You’re a Marine. Semper Fi Brother.
You made it back...one piece i hope...seems like yesterday doesn.t it ??
Daniel Dennison - I was 11 months old. Thank you for your service
Lived all my teen years in the 60's, it was the best of times. Radio was the highway the culture moved on, and pop was king.
17 in ‘67…..best music
I was 18 and felt as if this music and life would never end unfortunately its not so
I read the greatest comment, unknown author, "It was far more fun being 20 in the 70's than 70 in the 20's"... Boy howdy.
Hi Shelly, How are you doing?
July 4th, 1967 I went to a party. 53 years later we are still partying!!! We get together yearly - play that music - don't act our age. It's awesome!!!!!
Hello Lynn, How are you doing?
What a great year
I was born in January of 1968,so I may well have heard a lot of these songs at the time from my mothers womb. I feel very fortunate to have been born in such an iconic decade.
So was my daughter!
Those were the days.got back from viet nam in .the spring of 67.
.....i just gotta say i love your moniker...ha ha...at least the part i could see!~
1967. What a summer. What a year! To Sir With Love is an awesome movie, too. RIP Sidney Poitier
I was overseas and only had Army radio back in '67 and some of these I had forgotten but was jolted back. Great music.
I was in high school in "67 and introduced my Mom, who was a concert cellist, to its music. After a while, she got to like it. She started out singing around the house then got to playing it in summer pops concerts.
So many great memory's from 1966 to 1973 best unforgettable years of my life ! If i were just granted one wish i would like go back one more time to those fantastic years !
Me too lnga.. The music and the people mini skirts etc were fabulous.. Love all the flowered clothes.. Think l am in a 60s time warp at times.
@@barbarapalmer8224 i am glad you think so too . 1966 is so special to me , i met the most incredible handsome man (a young Cary Grant look alike) and we had a unforgettable Love Affair . I am German and he was American visiting Berlin where i lived . We experienced a trilling moment in time it was never duplicated ! I received 2 letters from him(i still have them) asking me to come to America , but i could not go at that time . So needless to say we went on with our life's me in Berlin and he in NY , we never saw each other again . Many years later i married an American and immigrated to America . Sad to say we got divorced after 7 years . Then i started to search for my handsome stranger i could never forget . I found his Legacy /Obituary in 2018 and i was in shock he died suddenly of a fatal cardiac arrest alone he also was divorced . There was a phone # on his Obituary that led me to his wife . I called her and told her who i was and she was very gracious to me and we actually became friends . She also introduced me to their handsome grown son and after telling him my story he welcomed me into the family . I was overwhelmed i never thought in my wildest dream something like this could happen , i deem it a miracle ! His Son also told me that his father shared with him before he died our love story and he said that he could never forget this beautiful German Lady it was the happiest time of his life he spent with her (me). Take care and God bless you !
And know what you know now. Sigh....
@@isrberlinerin4063 nice story, so are you in love with his son, or do you look at him like the son that should have been yours?
@@shable1436 No i am not in love with his Son and Yes i look at him as a son i never had and as a precious gift from the man i could never forget !
1967 had some great music!
There will never be another era in music as explosively creative and innovative as the 60s decade it had good solid sounds for every genre. My favorite was from around 66-70. That late 60s era had more talent and more deep meaning to the music that sadly will never be repeated again. They say time marches on and styles and music changes,for the better?? I certainly think not!! Music today is as dead as Janis,Jimi,Jim but can't hold a flicker of a candle to their brilliance! Rock is truly dead today,thank goodness we have our old tapes and records and now youtube to take us back to a much better time and place where skill and talent along with unbridled creativity reigned supreme! Damn I miss it so!!!!
Well said.
I agree. In the USA, the 60s began with President Kennedy, and with it a new hope and vision for a better Earth. But sadly his death, shed the cloak of the 50's and there then arose a culture ready to challenge and face the real world, unveiling the myths of cultural expectations (as depicted on TV). The explosion you speak of, begotten of a shared consciousness, unlike that never known before.
We were part of it. For once it seemed, that what we believed mattered, and the world would yield to our expectations of it. This was our time. Let it not be ever forgotten.
These were all on Ed Sullivan
