@@corinnepmorrison1854 Yes. Even though the video of "Something Stupid" said it was Frank and Nancy, and the singing was Frank and Nancy, the video image was actually Frank Jr. and Nancy.
Frank Sinatra was the father of Nancy Sinatra. The vid clip of their #1 hit duet, “ Somethin’ Stupid” (which was the father and daughter) had Nancy singing with her brother and his son, Frank, Jr., because the TV show that clip was on could not get the father to be on. Unfortunately there was never a recorded performance of the song with the father and daughter.
@@wesleybush8646 true, The Rolling stones, Dave Clark 5 , Kinks, Yard Birds, The Animals and many more British bands had a big influence on U.S. music but The Beatles still dominated the charts. BTW, while I was just a baby during all this, they still had a big influence on me. I love the British bands from the 60s.
I think the 60's is one of the best and most diverse decades of music. You have from the doowap at the beginning of the 60's to psychedelic rock, to great R and B and some of the best folk right ever.
Us old guys born in the 50s got to see the whole evolution of music. My parents were into country music and all the cousins and us kids got into the "new " stuff..you need to check out some of Woodstock
Love this! My dad's with you; he's a child of the 50s. And my mom's a child of the 60s. I was raised on this music, and I love it! You guys did see the true evolution of music. It was a wild 3 decades from 1950 to 1979.
I was born the year... 1961.. And have heard ALL of these songs... and still LOVE them.... Apache and Elvis is on ALL my playlists! Got a modern one tooooo.... Listen to TEAMHEADKICK.... They are AWSOME!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
You should definitely do the 70's. That was when David Bowie, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and a whole bunch of others were really getting fired up and going strong.
Fun fact. The song Harper Valley P.T.A. (sung by Jeannie C Riley) was written by country artist Tom T Hall based on a true story from his childhood. In 1978 a movie was made based on the song, and then it was made into a short-lived television series from 1981-1982. I loved this song cause of the catchy tune and because it's about exposing hypocrisy.
Born in 1950, these were all very familiar to me. Usually just hear them now on the '60s/oldies channel. Frank was Nancy's father. Phil Silver wrote a song for her when she was a toddler - Nancy with the Laughing Eyes.
A Summer Place is a 1959 American film. It's about teenage lovers from different classes who get back together 20 years later, and then must deal with the passionate love affair of their own teenage children by previous marriages. The theme was, of course, written for the film.
I was born in the 1950s, so I remember all of these songs playing on the radio in the 1960s. You two are so young, so I suppose I can understand that you don't know many of these songs, but I was absolutely shocked that Millie had not heard some of the Rolling Stones early hits, especially since they are still a band today and play a bunch of their old stuff at concerts.
Thank you so much for putting this together! I have wonderful memories of singing along with most of these songs, even the one in Japanese! Such a fun walk down memory lane! ❤
I went from 5 -- 15 years old in the sixties and recognized all these songs. As far as I'm concerned this was the most artistic and enjoyable music of all time. This era of musical talent has been unsurpassed. Would enjoy more reaction to the sixties music , because I think because of your youth, you have missed so much musical talent.
I knew so many of these songs, especially the Beatles, since they were my favorite band. James recognized “can’t hurry, love” from the Supremes; Phil Collins did a remake of that song. When I took my kids to see the movie, Shrek, I started singing along with I’m a Believer, and you should’ve seen the look on my kids’ faces. Mom was cool!
I was born in 1950, so I lived through this decade in my teens. As Dr. Winston O’Boogie (John Lennon) said: ‘Ya shoulda been there.” And “Ya gotta remember yer roots.” ✌️
I was born in 1960 but wish I was born in 1950. I think I would have loved the 1950s as a kid, and I would be 10 years closer to my death which is good because im handicapped.
I was born in 82, but my dad was a huge fan of 60's music. So I listened to most of these songs as a kid. To the point I still drive around listening to 60's music.
The House of the Rising Sun, actually has it’s roots origins all the way back to France as a 16th Century ballad. And the actual tune that was recorded by The Animals was said to have been sung by miners in the U.S. back in 1905, so The Animals were Rocking a true French-American Folk song in the midst of the British Invasion. You two should out the psychedelic version of the song by the band Frijid Pink, and the version recorded by Dolly Parton.
Excellent reaction! My grandparents are the reason I didn't end up dead or in prison. I miss them always. So much joy in this song, I know- in these dark, divided, angry times- this music is the medicine
I was born in the Seventies, and so knew many of these songs from listening to my parents music. That said another big way many people know many of these songs is from hearing them in movies. Dirty Dancing and Sister Act etc. often feature music from the sixties.
I was born in '58, which means I know almost ALL of these songs, the 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s ... by 2000 though .. Music was less about musical talent and more about synthesized noise. I feel blessed to have grown up with REAL music ...
I saw the Beatles in February 1964 on the Ed Sullivan Show (CBS American TV for you kids who don't know). They've always been my favorite. America needed something to feel good about -- even if just music. President Kennedy had his brains blown out in November 1963 and that was also shown on TV many times. I was 11; I'll never forget.
I was born in the late '50s and my parents were heavily into Big Bands, Swing, and Jazz music from the '40s. I got to hear everything from Classical to Jazz to Swing to Big Bands to Country, to '50s rock, to '60s, '70s and on up to today. There's good music from all eras. My definition of a Banger includes all of those. Y'all got some musical exploring to do, LOL! --Dan
My mother just loved Glenn Miller and the swing Era, and jazz. And my brother and sister were into the folk scene of the early '60s. And I was blasting the rock I heard turn that racket down a lot.
I was born in the late 60's to a huge music loving family as well as these songs still popular on radio so there were only a small few I didn't know well. I have also seen a few in this collection live in concert like the Stones, BeeGees, Paul McCartney and Ringo Star. I've been to around 200 concerts, so I've seen many legends.
I’m definitely showing my age, but I remember sitting by the radio listening to these songs. I have heard all the songs and knew the majority of the singers. The 60’s and 70’s had the best music.
Another video to try is the one-hit wonders of the '60s. Then there is the Psychedelic Era Goodies, which were the grooviest of the 60's songs that are still my favorites today.
True, funny story. My kids and the neighbor kids came running in one day to beg me to listen to a "new song", "Fly Like An Eagle". I listened to this re-mix and then began singing along. They were SHOCKED! "Mom! How can you know this???" I told them, as I often did....with a smirk, of course, "We did it first, and we did it best", lol. The 60's and 70's were so very eclectic and wonderful and talented and amazing, really.
I was born in the early 60s these song were so popular. Not with parents they were still listening to 1950s music. Some of the instrumentals, but my dad hated the long hair lol. I still love this and the 70s music.
Graduated high school in 1969 so got to enjoy this whole decade of music. Crazy times, punctuated by registering with the Selective Service for the draft and waiting for the "ping-pong balls" to determine your draft number by birth date... then staring Vietnam right in the face. But the music was great, varied and so, so many great artists. Good video!
I was born in 1972, so I have heard most of these songs either on the radio, on TV, in films, remakes, etc. My siblings played The Lion Sleeps Tonight in band (so did I 😂) & others - my siblings are 9 & 6 years older than me. The Lion King made it a popular song for the next generations too. There's some great films that feature different decades of music. I remember buying the soundtracks of several films that had songs from my parents youth on them in the 1980s because I heard them at the theater. There are biopics that you might like to watch. In "Ray" , Jaimie Foxx plays Ray Charles, There's a recent Elvis biopic that won awards last year- Tom Hanks plays his manager. There's quite a few older biopics about Elvis too. Jessica Lange (she's from northern Minnesota & still has a cabin about an hour from my house) plays Patsy Cline in an older biopic. Judy Garland was portrayed by Renee Zellweger recently (Just Garland is my son's long lost cousin - she grew up an hour away where my son's grandparents grew up). The Johnny Cash & June Carter biopic "Walk the Line", is good. Definitely recommend "Bohemian Rhapsody" about Freddie Mercury! Quite a few good biopics have been made recently! My mom was a huge Elvis fan! We saw Elvis in concert in Duluth MN not long before he died. I have seen all of his films a gazillion times. Cable tv had marathons of his films on for 24 hours on his birthday & the anniversary of his death for decades (I don't have cable anymore, so not sure if they still do it). I cried a lot when he died & I was only 5. I remember staying up late to watch the movies. I bought quite a few for my mom for birthday, mother's day & Christmas gifts over the last few decades. 7:15 Elvis released records for every film & he sings them in the films - the clip at this time is directly from the film. He also released studio albums & live concert albums. He was definitely a big deal in his life!
10:45 music videos weren't really a big thing until MTV. Most singers/bands played their songs on talk shows & those clips were shown if they needed a video. There were some live concert recordings that were made into videos too. Some bands rereleased songs to make videos too. Some bands released films - like the Beetles - before music videos were popular. Elvis had original songs in his films, so the films were the video at the time. The type of videos that became popular on MTV & VH1 weren't really a thing until the music tv channels became popular.
13:56 I have watched some comparison videos on Mojo or MsMojo & other channels recently where they play the original & remakes. Bob Dylan grew up about 25 miles from my hometown & there are a lot of remakes of his songs & remakes of songs he wrote for other artists to sing. I think you would know a lot of them. There were remakes of his songs before I was born already (I was born in 1972).
You can sure tell which artists released albums with multiple popular songs on them - Elvis & the Beetles stick out! 15:05 the Beetles don't look happy because they are most likely playing live on television in the clips, so there's added stress & exact time limits - there were a lot of live performances on talk shows, but some shows did pre-recorded stuff with editing, but not many. Plus, there were probably behind the scenes issues as well. Remember, television wasn't very old in the 1960s & technology has changed greatly since then.
17:14 I worked at the Minnesota State Fair grandstand in the late 1980s & early 1990s, the Beach Boys performed during the fair multiple years. They played their old hits every time, so I saw these songs live multiple times & got paid for it 😉
P. S. Nancy Sinatra is Frank's daughter - and, the sang great duets together, too! One of my favs is Something Stupid - I bet you-guys would like that one, too!! Cheers!!
Fun fact: The Monkees were credited for creating what we know as the music video in the 1960's. Each week on their TV show a Monkees song would cover some scene taking place in the episode. Usually a chase scene. Before this performers simply sang their songs on a stage on a variety show such as The Ed Sullivan Show or some other type of set. The Monkees were th first to incorporate the song with a story.
Ricky Nelson made a very early music video with his song "Traveling' Man". Perhaps the first to do so, he incorporated scenes from all the places mentioned in the song.
October 1968 here. My birthday is this coming Saturday in fact. Hey Jude all the way! If I’m not mistaken Baby Beesley is an October baby as well. We rock!
I'm in the U.S. and born in 1958, so have heard almost all those songs. I don't remember any from Cliff Richard until the mid 70's (Devil Woman), but he had several after that. It was great growing up with the music in the 60's.
For perspective, 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' was a hit by studio group Tight Fit when I was about 9 - which comfortably takes you back to 1982. But it is so much older....
A lot of these songs have been in movie soundtracks over the years. Y'all should watch the movie "Yellow Submarine"...it's animated and obviously the Beatles. Also, please tell me youve heard of The Beach Boys.....they only had one song on this list but were huge just a little later.....known for "surfing music"
As a kid back in the sixties my great aunt an uncle used to own a bar. Back then kids in a bar wasn't a big deal. We'd go there on the weekends as my grandmother would cook up all kinds of stuff. There was a jukebox and if course a lit of these songs were in it, so I've heard most of these.
l loved the movie Yesterday about a musician who wakes up from an accident and finds he's the only person who remembers the Beatles. It's written a bit like a fairy tale but it is amusing to have a person with a portfolio of guaranteed hits in his possession. Ed Sheeran did a good job playing himself in it. He got some pretty good lines.
As much as the Beatles dominated the 60's, these songs on the reaction were also Beatles related: World Without Love- written by Paul McCartney Ob-La Di, Ob-La Da- written by Paul McCartney and recorded by the Beatles Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)- a take off of the Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" Those Were the Days- produced by Paul McCartney on the Beatles' Apple label
The sixties was one of the most transitional decades in music. It started out with a lot of "teenybopper" songs written from Brill building writers like Carole King, Jerry Goffin, Neil Sedaka, etc. There was rock and roll but it didn't top the charts. Elvis helped that along. Then came the Beatles and everything changed. With The Rolling Stones right behind them rock and roll, especially blues based, became big. Mid decade was the start of Motown which brought more R&B lite to the masses. It finally ended with harder rock that led right into the 70's.
I remember each and every one of these hits. It was a generation for music in all forms. Most were from the days of the crooners. It is fun to listen to each song in its entirety. Only then can you appreciate that era.
I just saw James' solo reaction to Johnny Cash "Hurt" on my feed, you have to get Millie and maybe her mum to watch that together. I dont remember if she's seen it but she needs to, that song/video is a masterpiece 🙏 please
The Lion Sleeps Tonight was written in the 1939 by Solomon Linda and recorded by his group The Evening Birds in the original Zulu lyrics and appeared as background music in the 1951 version of the movie "Cry the Beloved Country". Pete Seeger brought it to the U.S. were it was recorded by the Weavers in the 50s, the Tokens in the 60s (with English lyrics) and covered many times since then.
Congratulations on two massive achievements guys. 1) your new baby 2) being able to sing and avoid hitting any of the right notes. When you said about karaoke I thought "oh god Nooooooo" 😂😂😂 Great reaction dudes, had me in tears.
DADDY! By the way, if while you are talking to the cam, you will look down to jr. he will think you are talking to him and love the eye contact. As for your reviews. I think you are missing out by not listening to the entire song(s). If you notice, most of them are teenage love songs. They had heart and soul. This was a time in the US when teens were coming of age
I saw the Four Seasons on Atlantic City's Steel Pier. They did ALL their hits. Frankie Vali is the singer with the high voice. You must check out their greatest hits. Dawn, Silence is Golden, Rag Doll, Opus 17, Let's hang on to what you got, Big girls don't cry, Sherry, Walk like a Man, Bye Bye Baby, Ronnie, Working my way back to you, Save it for me so many. You really should listen to the original hits. My sisters & I always loved Leader of the Pack. Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles, Sugar Shack J. Gilmore etc, You don't own me by Leslie Gore so many. Martha & the Vandellas have good dance songs. Heatwave, Dancing in the Street, Locomotion. And the Orlons had South Street. Little Eva had Locomotion.
"Theme To A Summer Place", the number one hit for the entire year of 1960, was a tremendous hit for Percy Faith and his orchestra from the movie of the same name.
I knew almost all of them! I was a teen in the sixties and what you saw was our "videos". Usually live shows on TV and a lot of them in black and white only. But you just brought back some good memories for me.
Yes, Nancy Sinatra is Frank's daughter.
And Frank’s son, Frank Sinatra, Jr…
@@corinnepmorrison1854 Yes. Even though the video of "Something Stupid" said it was Frank and Nancy, and the singing was Frank and Nancy, the video image was actually Frank Jr. and Nancy.
Nancy Nepotism?
The 60s were a powerful decade for music. Everything changed so much in such a short time
Frank Sinatra was the father of Nancy Sinatra. The vid clip of their #1 hit duet, “ Somethin’ Stupid” (which was the father and daughter) had Nancy singing with her brother and his son, Frank, Jr., because the TV show that clip was on could not get the father to be on. Unfortunately there was never a recorded performance of the song with the father and daughter.
The end of '63 beginning of '64 was known as the British invasion here in the U.S. because the Beatles dominated the music charts at that time.
Thank God it was done with by the 1970s.
It didn't really end then. It actually never has. From the beginning it's come in waves, with brief pauses in between.
They weren't the only ones.
@@wesleybush8646 true, The Rolling stones, Dave Clark 5 , Kinks, Yard Birds, The Animals and many more British bands had a big influence on U.S. music but The Beatles still dominated the charts.

A Summer Place was a controversial 1960 American movie. It had themes of pre-marital and extra-marital sex. Shocking in those days.
Us old guys born in the 50s got to see the whole evolution of music. My parents were into country music and all the cousins and us kids got into the "new " stuff..you need to check out some of Woodstock
Music has been evolving since the first caveman made a bone flute.
You watched some of the evolution of Pop Music. ✌✌✌
Same Here. Also Speaking of Woodstock, I went there with my Friend and Her Parents. It was Really Groovy.✌
@@tinapatterson5022yep.. sooooo groooooovy! ❤❤❤

Aaaawwww!!! Look at Archie watching and listening to his daddy. Priceless!!❤️
Thank you for this! I remember every single one of these! Just great!!❤️
You should definitely do the 70's. That was when David Bowie, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and a whole bunch of others were really getting fired up and going strong.
They already did that 6 months ago
Not only have they done it, but he expressly talks about having done it in this video.
They did do it.
I grew up in the 80's but love 50's and 60's music.
Fun fact. The song Harper Valley P.T.A. (sung by Jeannie C Riley) was written by country artist Tom T Hall based on a true story from his childhood.

I was born in 1956, so this was the music of my childhood. I love it that you knew so many and I'd love to see reactions to the ones you didn't know!
You two are Beatles fans...its a good thing
Oh my goodness! Archie is such a cutie 🥰
Thank you so much for putting this together! I have wonderful memories of singing along with most of these songs, even the one in Japanese! Such a fun walk down memory lane! ❤
1953! 💙
I went from 5 -- 15 years old in the sixties and recognized all these songs. As far as I'm concerned this was the most artistic and enjoyable music of all time. This era of musical talent has been unsurpassed. Would enjoy more reaction to the sixties music , because I think because of your youth, you have missed so much musical talent.
I think everyone in history said the same thing about the music they grew up with. Though 60s music is undeniably great.
My point exactly. We where supposed to get their reaction to the music, but all we got was, I don't know this one. Etc.
theme from A Summer Place was used in the 1989 Batman movie during the museum scene when Jack Nicholson sitting down talking to the reporter.
The 60's is a gold mine of great music. I love it and i'm 39.
Watch how the music suddenly changes from the 1950s sound to 1964 and the Beatles / Brit invasion.
I love how once The Beatles came along, they dominate the entire decade, along with the sound of music changing forever.
I was born in 62...I grew up listening to all of these. It was a wonderful time to grow up...
I knew so many of these songs, especially the Beatles, since they were my favorite band. James recognized “can’t hurry, love” from the Supremes; Phil Collins did a remake of that song.

I love The Beatles!!!
I wasn’t born till the 80s but I remember watching The Monkees tv show when I was little and I loved all their songs
I love how The Beatles just took over for a bit. 😊
Hope you went back and listen to the full songs, you will not regret it. (Also look up novelty songs of the 1950s and 1960s for some fun music).
I grew up with these songs. I knew all most of them. But I was born in 1957 so that ought tell you.
Having graduated from High School in 1960...this was definitely a trip down memory lane LOL! I knew them all..
The House of the rising son is my husbands all time favorite song. '60 and '70s are the best ever made. all the others are variations.
The House of the Rising Sun, actually has it’s roots origins all the way back to France as a 16th Century ballad.

Theme From A Summer Place is also a movie. Yes Nancy Sinatra is Frank's daughter.
During most of the 60s Elvis was under contract with the movie studios he didn't appear in concert again until 1968.
10:15 Little Peggy March was only 15 years old
I saw the Beatles in February 1964 on the Ed Sullivan Show (CBS American TV for you kids who don't know).
They've always been my favorite.
America needed something to feel good about -- even if just music. President Kennedy had his brains blown out in November 1963 and that was also shown on TV many times. I was 11; I'll never forget.
I was surprised at how many of the songs you two recognized. I would love to see you react to some songs from the past, like 50's, 60's and 70's.
They did the 70's though but not the 50's yet.
I was born in the late '50s and my parents were heavily into Big Bands, Swing, and Jazz music from the '40s.

@@jmcg6189 oh so the 60's was considered the folk music era. I was guessing it was oldies era. Pfft
As a kid born in 1953 this is my favorite years of music 🎶 thanks for the memories ❤ love your channel and kiss that sweet baby lots
I had so much fun with this video! Laughed so hard at James singing and dancing!! Loved it!!
I think Amy Winehouse had a cover of “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” that got some traction in the 00s
I know every one of these songs and like most of them, probably because I was born in the 1950s and grew up in the 1960s and ‘70s.
I was born in 1946…and I know almost all of these songs…❤️🎶
You ought to check out the segment featuring the 50s and find out what the advent of rock n roll sounded like.
You guys need to react to the full song of "The House of the Risng Sun" by "The Animals"
I was born in the late 60's to a huge music loving family as well as these songs still popular on radio so there were only a small few I didn't know well.

You guys should do reactions!! I'd watch 'em!!!! :) Hope everyone is well and GETTING SLEEP! :) HUGS! ❤❤❤
Absolutely you should. I'd watch too. I think you would also enjoy doing them. 😊
Congrats guys 🎉🎉🎉👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😉❤️🇺🇸
This is the first I have seen your baby. You will make a wonderful family. May God bless you always!
I may be showing my age but for all but 19 not only do I know the songs to sing along with, but I recognize the artists too.
I was born in 1972, so I have heard most of these songs either on the radio, on TV, in films, remakes, etc. My siblings played The Lion Sleeps Tonight in band (so did I 😂) & others - my siblings are 9 & 6 years older than me. The Lion King made it a popular song for the next generations too.
There's some great films that feature different decades of music. I remember buying the soundtracks of several films that had songs from my parents youth on them in the 1980s because I heard them at the theater. There are biopics that you might like to watch. In "Ray" , Jaimie Foxx plays Ray Charles, There's a recent Elvis biopic that won awards last year- Tom Hanks plays his manager. There's quite a few older biopics about Elvis too. Jessica Lange (she's from northern Minnesota & still has a cabin about an hour from my house) plays Patsy Cline in an older biopic. Judy Garland was portrayed by Renee Zellweger recently (Just Garland is my son's long lost cousin - she grew up an hour away where my son's grandparents grew up). The Johnny Cash & June Carter biopic "Walk the Line", is good. Definitely recommend "Bohemian Rhapsody" about Freddie Mercury! Quite a few good biopics have been made recently!
My mom was a huge Elvis fan! We saw Elvis in concert in Duluth MN not long before he died. I have seen all of his films a gazillion times. Cable tv had marathons of his films on for 24 hours on his birthday & the anniversary of his death for decades (I don't have cable anymore, so not sure if they still do it). I cried a lot when he died & I was only 5. I remember staying up late to watch the movies. I bought quite a few for my mom for birthday, mother's day & Christmas gifts over the last few decades.
7:15 Elvis released records for every film & he sings them in the films - the clip at this time is directly from the film. He also released studio albums & live concert albums. He was definitely a big deal in his life!
10:45 music videos weren't really a big thing until MTV. Most singers/bands played their songs on talk shows & those clips were shown if they needed a video. There were some live concert recordings that were made into videos too. Some bands rereleased songs to make videos too. Some bands released films - like the Beetles - before music videos were popular. Elvis had original songs in his films, so the films were the video at the time. The type of videos that became popular on MTV & VH1 weren't really a thing until the music tv channels became popular.
13:56 I have watched some comparison videos on Mojo or MsMojo & other channels recently where they play the original & remakes. Bob Dylan grew up about 25 miles from my hometown & there are a lot of remakes of his songs & remakes of songs he wrote for other artists to sing. I think you would know a lot of them. There were remakes of his songs before I was born already (I was born in 1972).
You can sure tell which artists released albums with multiple popular songs on them - Elvis & the Beetles stick out!
15:05 the Beetles don't look happy because they are most likely playing live on television in the clips, so there's added stress & exact time limits - there were a lot of live performances on talk shows, but some shows did pre-recorded stuff with editing, but not many. Plus, there were probably behind the scenes issues as well. Remember, television wasn't very old in the 1960s & technology has changed greatly since then.
17:14 I worked at the Minnesota State Fair grandstand in the late 1980s & early 1990s, the Beach Boys performed during the fair multiple years. They played their old hits every time, so I saw these songs live multiple times & got paid for it 😉

BEATLES ❤️🎶
P. S. Nancy Sinatra is Frank's daughter - and, the sang great duets together, too! One of my favs is Something Stupid - I bet you-guys would like that one, too!! Cheers!!
Fun fact: The Monkees were credited for creating what we know as the music video in the 1960's. Each week on their TV show a Monkees song would cover some scene taking place in the episode. Usually a chase scene. Before this performers simply sang their songs on a stage on a variety show such as The Ed Sullivan Show or some other type of set. The Monkees were th first to incorporate the song with a story.
Amazed that you didn’t mention Michael Nesmith going on to create MTV.
i despise fun fact statements......just make the statement without calling it a fun fact.
Ricky Nelson made a very early music video with his song "Traveling' Man". Perhaps the first to do so, he incorporated scenes from all the places mentioned in the song.
October 1968 here. My birthday is this coming Saturday in fact. Hey Jude all the way! If I’m not mistaken Baby Beesley is an October baby as well. We rock!
Look at the way the little Archie is looking up at his daddy as he speaks. That is so precious.
I'm in the U.S. and born in 1958, so have heard almost all those songs. I don't remember any from Cliff Richard until the mid 70's (Devil Woman), but he had several after that. It was great growing up with the music in the 60's.
For perspective, 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' was a hit by studio group Tight Fit when I was about 9 - which comfortably takes you back to 1982. But it is so much older....
I love most of every song growing up back in the day. Elvis is my favorite
These snippets are a trip down memory lane for people who know the songs so it's hard for you to judge them based on a bar or two.
A lot of these songs have been in movie soundtracks over the years.
Y'all should watch the movie "Yellow Submarine"...it's animated and obviously the Beatles.
Also, please tell me youve heard of The Beach Boys.....they only had one song on this list but were huge just a little later.....known for "surfing music"
The Beach Boys were awesome.
As a kid back in the sixties my great aunt an uncle used to own a bar. Back then kids in a bar wasn't a big deal.
We'd go there on the weekends as my grandmother would cook up all kinds of stuff.
There was a jukebox and if course a lit of these songs were in it, so I've heard most of these.
l loved the movie Yesterday about a musician who wakes up from an accident and finds he's the only person who remembers the Beatles. It's written a bit like a fairy tale but it is amusing to have a person with a portfolio of guaranteed hits in his possession.
Ed Sheeran did a good job playing himself in it. He got some pretty good lines.
Oh my I think I knew at least 95% of these great originals!! Thanks for posting!!
As much as the Beatles dominated the 60's, these songs on the reaction were also Beatles related:
World Without Love- written by Paul McCartney
Ob-La Di, Ob-La Da- written by Paul McCartney and recorded by the Beatles
Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)- a take off of the Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"
Those Were the Days- produced by Paul McCartney on the Beatles' Apple label
I absolutely adored you both during this video ❤😊❤
The sixties was one of the most transitional decades in music. It started out with a lot of "teenybopper" songs written from Brill building writers like Carole King, Jerry Goffin, Neil Sedaka, etc. There was rock and roll but it didn't top the charts. Elvis helped that along. Then came the Beatles and everything changed. With The Rolling Stones right behind them rock and roll, especially blues based, became big. Mid decade was the start of Motown which brought more R&B lite to the masses. It finally ended with harder rock that led right into the 70's.
I remember each and every one of these hits. It was a generation for music in all forms. Most were from the days of the crooners. It is fun to listen to each song in its entirety. Only then can you appreciate that era.
3:07 the first movie that comes to mind for me is "Rose Red" but it's been in alot of places lol
I just saw James' solo reaction to Johnny Cash "Hurt" on my feed, you have to get Millie and maybe her mum to watch that together. I dont remember if she's seen it but she needs to, that song/video is a masterpiece 🙏 please
Nancy is Franks daughter. I was born in the late 50's so I grew up hearing these songs on the radio. you need to check out more 60's & 70's music.
I was born in 65!! Loved this trip down memory lane!
We had the best songs in the 60s and into the 70s heard songs here tonight that I haven't heard in years
Keith Richard’s hasn’t changed one bit, and is a medical mystery.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight was written in the 1939 by Solomon Linda and recorded by his group The Evening Birds in the original Zulu lyrics and appeared as background music in the 1951 version of the movie "Cry the Beloved Country". Pete Seeger brought it to the U.S. were it was recorded by the Weavers in the 50s, the Tokens in the 60s (with English lyrics) and covered many times since then.
Congratulations on two massive achievements guys.
1) your new baby
2) being able to sing and avoid hitting any of the right notes.
When you said about karaoke I thought "oh god Nooooooo"
😂😂😂
Great reaction dudes, had me in tears.
DADDY! By the way, if while you are talking to the cam, you will look down to jr. he will think you are talking to him and love the eye contact. As for your reviews. I think you are missing out by not listening to the entire song(s). If you notice, most of them are teenage love songs. They had heart and soul. This was a time in the US when teens were coming of age
The 60’s were the best! I’m American and that brought back so many memories!
If you like songs that tell a story listen to Harper Valley PTA in it's entirety
Born in the 50s and I knew all but maybe 3 of them. Thanks for the video and... the Beatles rule!
Fond memories. They don’t make music like this anymore.
I saw the Four Seasons on Atlantic City's Steel Pier. They did ALL their hits. Frankie Vali is the singer with the high voice. You must check out their greatest hits. Dawn, Silence is Golden, Rag Doll, Opus 17, Let's hang on to what you got, Big girls don't cry, Sherry, Walk like a Man, Bye Bye Baby, Ronnie, Working my way back to you, Save it for me so many. You really should listen to the original hits. My sisters & I always loved Leader of the Pack. Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles, Sugar Shack J. Gilmore etc, You don't own me by Leslie Gore so many. Martha & the Vandellas have good dance songs. Heatwave, Dancing in the Street, Locomotion. And the Orlons had South Street. Little Eva had Locomotion.
You just replayed the soundtrack from my childhood. Thank you.
I graduated from high school in 1963. Most of these songs were new then. I would love to have that tape.
Great video. Love so many of those. Diana Ross and the Supremes one of my favorite. Elvis of course. The Beach Boys, just so many good ones.
"Theme To A Summer Place", the number one hit for the entire year of 1960, was a tremendous hit for Percy Faith and his orchestra from the movie of the same name.
November 1963 You'll Never Walk Alone is from the hit musical Carousel.
Plus Liverpool and Dortmund adopted that song.
Millie you do this review with your mom, I bet she would know every one of then ☺️
I knew almost all of them! I was a teen in the sixties and what you saw was our "videos". Usually live shows on TV and a lot of them in black and white only. But you just brought back some good memories for me.
The speedy Gonzalez one was too funny oh boy. 😅😅
