Yeah, we’re all looking at the sunset of our lives, but we can look back and say we lived through the best music ever sung! There’s been _NOTHING_ like it for the last 40 years!
Ive just turned 72 happy memories I saw the Beatles live at the Finsbury park Astoria aka the Rainbow 63 Cilla black, Billy j Kramer, Tommy Quickly, The Barron knights, The Four Most all on the bill, me got six tickets
Me too at 71 I can feel and see clearly what my life was like when I was 12 with each of these songs. I loved my transistor radio wearing make up and boys!
Wow this songs brings back such beautiful memories. I was 15 years old...reminds of my first and only boyfriend I had. Got married at tge age of 22 .we were married for 47 years. He sadly passed away 4 years ago..rip my dearest husband. Missing you beyond words..this music we both enjoyed. ❤im going down memory lane now.
Same here. I remember the harmony too. But remember, we listened to them on our car radios, big radios at home, and then by ' 67 we all had our little transistor radios. 🤣
Yes, you just start singing these song. Sometimes you only need the start of the music. Yes, I fully agree they were the best of times. I was 16 at the time
My husband was in Nam in 65 and 66. So many came back with PTSD and agent orange complications. So much sadness...at least this music kept them going during their tours.
Here we are looking back with nostalgia, but our generation faced many hardships as well. The draft, an unjust war, assassinations of our leaders, civil liberties denied and the beginning of the media age, where image and distraction compete with facts and information. Not unlike this generation! I feel a kinship with them. This music brings back all the sweetness, excitement, and learned lessons of my life!

It was not all fun and games as you know.. thank you for men like your husband who did the heavy lifting..
This music marks the tracks of my life. So many great memories. It makes me melancholy that I am reaching the end of a great life.My partner of 42 years went ahead of me. I miss her more than I can express in words.
I was 15 in 65. This music and my dancing to it was my world!! I’m going to be 72 soon and I still dance in my kitchen to these sounds. Two kidney transplants, vertigo and bad feet and all!! We had it all!
I turned 15 in 65. I wonder if everyone feels the same way about the songs they heard when they were 15. If you look at a list of the Top 100 songs in 65 they all bring back great memories.
1965, I was 5 years old and legally immigrated to the USA with my family. I remember most of these songs, many happy memories. First song I heard was the Supremes’ The Happening, always takes me back to my early days in the wonderful USA.
I was a freshman in college and met my future wife then. Wonderful time of my life. These songs bring it all back.. Loved the Seekers, Righteous Brothers.
Great music so much energy and enthusiasm and so uplifting. So unlike the music of today. There will never be a time again like the 60s. So glad I lived it.
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones is one of the greatest songs of all-time. Everything from that iconic guitar riff and Mick Jagger's powerful rocking voice!
When I met my husband at a party the first record we danced to was Unchained Melody we got married 5 years later and are still together since 1966. I still get goose bumps when I hear that song. Thanks these golden oldies are the best ♥️
But there were several songs where there was a word or phrase I never coild work out and it used to really annoy me! Thanks to modern tech. In recent years I finally found out! Boy its been a long wait! An aussie.
I remember when the Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" hit radio air waves in the summer of 1965. It had the same effect of the Beatles hitting the scene in 1964. I think that Byrds song defined the 1960's overnight. It was a totally new sound. The Byrds recordings continue to influence newer generations today.
Mixed emotions here. I turned 16 in Nov. of 65 and remember all these songs well (as well as many others from the 60s and 70s era) and although it's always good to hear them again, it's also kind of sad when I think about the fact that those great times are gone forever except in my memories. At 16, I had my whole life to look forward to. Now, at 70, I have the past to look back on.
I was only 10 but my sister was 19, so I heard these songs a lot. She tried to interest me in her music and get me to be a brother to her, but I saw her as a surrogate parent because of our age difference and I never engaged with her as a sibling. It breaks my heart that I only realized this a few years ago but cancer had already taken her. When we meet again I hope we can talk about the music of our respective youths.
These are the songs of my youth and I LOVE them, but the thing that surprises me the most is Cher and Mick Jagger are still popular and still going strong after well over 50 years! WOW!🤦♀️🤦♀️👀👀😍😍

THE GOOD OLD TIME MUSIC. THERE WAS THE GOOD TIMES. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST YEARS OF MEMORIES IN MY LIFE AND THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME. GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
A great year for pop music. I turned 16 that year, the same year I got my driver's license. The car radio was going all the time, blasting out these great tunes, crusin' along in my naive, youthful bliss.
There are a lot of silly songs intended just for entertainment from that era. The parents didn't think the dancing was clean & worried about their children's possible moral decay. If haven't already, watch movie "Dirty Dancing". There is current music with heart & soul. Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful", John Legend "All of me", Ed Sheeran "Perfecr" (ft Beyonce is personal favorite), Thomas Rhett "Die a happy man", Train "Drops of Jupiter", Vanessa Carlton "A thousand miles", Devin Dawson "All on me"... not impressive, planning a wedding so had these titles handy. Rap music can have foul language & sometimes don't like how it refers to women, violence, etc. Most of it is meant as a social commentary, 'only way to make money if you live in the hood is to be a member of a gang & sell drugs' kinda thing. Each generation pushes the boundaries in order to have people pay attention & listen to the message. My favorite is Eminem, can understand his lyrics. But true love is the blues... Etta James "At last", anyone's rendition of "Angel from Montgomery with most current fav Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Lang "Lie to me". Luv luv luv music! Every experience in my life, whether
1965... the year my mom was born. I only came into existence in 1986, but grew up with my parents record collection which consisted of 50s and 60s pop music. I LOVE music from that era and absolutely LOATHE pretty much everything on the radio now.
I was 14 years old in 65. My favorite record of all time- Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops, I wore out playing it over and over. It drove my dad crazy. He was a gifted musician hailing from the Big Band Era. He kept telling me that rock wasn’t really music and that it would die soon. 😎
I had to comment when I read your post. That was mine too and I was the same age. I would sleep with the radio on turned real low and if I woke up durning the night I’d check to see if it was playing!🤣
This time in 1965 I was 13. Lots of great memories, lots of sadness too. But now, in retrospect I realize that's life. Nothing sharpens the focus on the times of our lives in the here and now, like the music you grew up with.
(: That is true ... ☺ Vietnam was just another horrific war that we did not need!!!!! ... 😢 My oldest cousin went to Vietnam ... he died unexpectedly in 2019, right after the 2018 Holidays, and in a very short time from cancer!!!!! ... 😢 We were told that "nothing could be done"!!!!! ... 😢 After being in the Hospital (they had already sent him home, but he had to go back) ... then he was brought to Hospice and only lived a few days (even less time than was expected)!!!!! ... 😢 He was a father figure to his siblings, and he had his own beautiful family, a wife, a son, a daughter, and grandkids!!!!! He was still young ... !!!!! ... 😢 He and his wife had celebrated their Anniversary either a year, or two before he passed away!!!!! It is still hard to believe that he is gone ... 😢 (; (; (; (; (; He was great to the entire family ... everything was about family to him!!!!! ... 😚 I had a newspaper article that a Reverend had written a comment on regarding Vietnam, and he even blamed Kissinger!!!!! His points all had to be true ... from what we know today!!!!!
@@davidkaiser I remember "Eve of Destruction" quite well. There is another song that is as relevant today as it was back then it was released in 1966. Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth".
My mom and dad were married in 1966 and they always played music like these golden oldies 💫my dad passed in 2013 and he was a big part of why I love music 🎶 also moody blues had a tune from 1965 called"go now"for the longest time I never knew they did that song!') great job ✌️💟🤗
The transistor radio started to be affordable. Most of the songs had to be under 3 minutes to get plenty of air play. Many one hit wonders that live on today. You could hear the words unlike some today.
1965 was one of the best year in pop music. It was a music of my youth and my adult daughter still listen to Unchained Melody, to Rolling Stones, to Elvis and many of above artists. Funny, but I can't say the same about my mother era music.
This music so powerful for a teenager. The feelings caused explosions for those going into the world on our own for the first time. Keep in mind we were coming out of MUSAC in the grocery stores, in elevators, doctor's offices. Can you imagine being shopping in a grocery store listening to the Beatles? No such thing at the time.
If it's done right, they go by either the charts or record sales or a combination of the two.. Which means the best songs won't necessarily be at the top of these lists. Eleanor Rigby, for example didn't even make the Billboard charts top ten.
I was 8 in 65 living in California and remember these songs very well. There was a mom and pop market 2 blocks from my house. I had to pass there to and from school. They had a loud speaker set up in the parking lot that played all the pop music. They had their radio set on 93 KHJ Boss Radio (still remember the jingle). After school a bunch of us kids would go buy a soda or candy and sit out in the parking lot and listen to music. Such cool memories.
I was 17 in 1965 and a junior in high school. Man, I love the music from that time. I can still do all the dances from that time at 75. God, it was a great time.
Didn’t hear most of these songs till 1967, spent 64 to 67 on an all expense paid vacation plus got a bunch of nice green cloths to wear and, got to drive around in a tank.
Wow. The songs that were playing in the year that my husband and I were married. June 1965. Seems like yesterday, but that was 52 years ago. Where did the time go?? Our 3 children are 49, 47 and 39. WOW !!!!!!
Wow. I’m 72 now and grew up in Long Beach, California. It was a great place to grow up (back then) and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. We all worked after school to get money to sink into our cars. I remember my first date with my wife was at Disneyland in ‘69. (Married in ‘72 and still going strong.) Back then Disneyland used tickets to get onto the rides (‘A’ - ‘E’ tickets) and we could get into the park for only the price of admission if no tickets were purchased. The big draw was the rock groups that would play each weekend on the Tomorrowland stage. We saw, Lovin’ Spoonful, Byrds, Gary Puckett & Union Gap, and others there. It was a different time than now. My best friend and I would ride our bikes with our pellet rifles out to the farm fields along the concrete flood control channel and hunt for seagulls, rabbits, etc. (don’t think we ever hit anything). We would walk along the top of the channel, (remember the flood control channel in Grease?) and walk by the Long Beach police gun range where they would be shooting. They never bothered us even though we’d be within about 40 yds of the range. Don’t think that would happen today. The farm fields are gone and now they’re a couple of car dealers and houses, and a VA hospital. What a shame.
1965: Graduated High School, met my wife while she was in nursing school, then2 of us dating, Viet Nam aboard a Navy Destroyer, etc. Ahhhhhh, the memories!!! Music has never been as good as back then! Thanks for posting
It was great being a teen in the 60's, we had lots of great music and good clean fun in my small town anyway. There was just enough innocence to have a really special time to be young and not know it all.
You nailed it Vicky!!! I grew up in the 70's and although we were trying to grow up too fast, times were slower, ..we we're able to stay kids longer...like if we wanted entertainment, we walked to the drug store and bought a MAD magazine...not just pull out our phone!
@@hossenismail9497 Not my experience. Lots of wild parties, LSD, good times, trips to the beach, lot of pot and great music. Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green, CCR, Taj Mahal, Aretha, and Janis...best of the best.
I turned 5 years old in 65. And would enter first grade the next year. I remember everything from 2 years old forward, I've always thought it strange that everyone doesn't. I absolutely loved "downtown".
I remember me sitting at our big old radio as a little boy of 7 years and listening to those new exciting songs. Looking through the backside of this furniture to see the little men and women who played this music i could only see the glowing lights of the tubes inside. Now sixty years later those tunes are really worth to be sampled on a CD, its the year they went into the whole world and burned into the minds of those people like you and me. Thank you very much for posting it, yours sincerely, Gerhard.😊😊😊
Just turned 65 boomer here we had the best music! Beautiful fun memories. A time of innocence and growth! I wish the new generation could see what a life we were lucky to live in!
wOw this is the best year of unbeilevable music ever.........what a treat going back in time to 1965,,,,,,,,there will never be another year like that,,,,,the greatest...!
What a year for music. I was only 6 years old but two years later I would buy my first album - The Monkees. Music back then was an important part of people's lives as everyone listened to the same music on their local radio station, no matter what town they were in.
1962-1966 was the high summer of American popular music, and 1965 was the best year of all...the Beatles, Beach Boys, Hermans Hermits, Mel Carter, Jay & The Americans, Elvis, Motown, Dave Clark 5, Petula Clark...there was no end to the best songs ever written. The Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody" is timeless!
It's 2024 i just came across this collection of music from my youth. Born in 1947 i was old enough to be blessed to be in my best years with the best music ever and i must say thanks to all of you who made comments below. The music was the best but reading your comments really pulled on my heart strings because they were my memories too. Wow, this really makes me miss my youth. The best time in my lifetime. So care free until Vietnam.
I was born in January 66 and love this music. I remember my mother dancing around while cleaning to radio..dad was very straight laced .worked for the military contractor .mom would've probably been a flower power chick .
I to graduated in 1966 from Northside High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana A great place and time to grow up. I joined the Marines then became a Phoenix Police officer. Retired may 1999
@@wallacegeller2111 thank you for your service .i love that area of the state .i lived in the dallas/ft.worth area .drive a semi. use to pick up in Auburn and Angola
Ricky, I know Auburn and Angola very well while growing up in Fort Wayne. I ended up in Phoenix after getting out of the Marines. I'm retired now and live in Sun City which is the Northwest Phoenix meti area. My Gra father drove truck for North American Ban lines. Happy trails.
I’m 70 and can’t help but think BABY BOOMERS WERE SO BLESSED👋👋👋👋👋👋🎶✌️🖖
I was around in those days too, but my thoughts are the opposite of yours. This was terrible music and we should have just skipped those years.
Yes. We definitely lived in the best era as far as music goes. Forever grateful for that.
❤️❤️❤️
We were and still are ,indeed, blessed! 76 here and still going good.
We sure were!!!❤
Yeah, we’re all looking at the sunset of our lives, but we can look back and say we lived through the best music ever sung! There’s been _NOTHING_ like it for the last 40 years!
I second that notion
Today's musicians are mostly from tv talent shows covering narcissistic artists.
Yes you r so right, all those guitar & piano lessons sure paid off for us Boomers & it was highlighted by Woodstock!!
I second it too!
I'm gratefulle to have grown up knowing this music
I’m almost 72 years old I remember all these great songs brings back great memories
The same for me! Born on 1953
Without being too judgmental, I wouldn't trade my youth for today's youth
Heck no , I wouldn’t either .
These were there best years ever !
Ditto
You're so right, I grew up with these songs and they're the best.😊😊😊❤❤
Definitely I agree with you. Such great memories.

Not having heard many of these for over 50 years, the lyrics still come back to me.
same here. I can sing along with every damn one of them =)

Right!!?
Yes, you just start singing these song. Sometimes you only need the start of the music.

❤👍
I AM 74 AND LOVES THIS OLD SONGS.
GREAT SONGS, GREAT MEMORIES. GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
I like these songs
The youth of today are totally lost of no fault of their own as the window is closing on them.
Because it will be gone before you know it
My husband was in Nam in 65 and 66.
So many came back with PTSD and agent orange complications. So much sadness...at least this music kept them going during their tours.
It was 1966. I had to tell my best friend her fiance had been killed. As the tears appeared in her eyes,my heart broke.
@@lindabrown6991 so many lives lost😔

What a fantastic era ! i was a child and, frankly i would rather still living in the sixties than today !
TRUE-todays music has no feeling--
Me too
Me too. The age of innocence.🥲
It brought tears to my eyes. I'm 69 yrs old. Has it really been 58 years since those wonderful days? Thanks for the memories!😀😪

Same here turning 70..we have SO many memories of our past 😢
68 years old here. I instantly recognized most of these songs but there were a couple I didn't know! Hmm?🤔 Go figure!😁
Moi 72 ans mes 14 ans quelle belle époque

Yeah, we do: I was 16- got my drivers license and ‘crushed’ listening to these.
Me too!!
Yes, am more sentimental than a gal should be. A memory attached to every song.
I can also dance to all those songs and I turned 75 this past Feb 15, 2023! 😊
I was 8 and I still dance and listen to this music it’s the best music EVER!!!
ME TOO!!!
Excellent times for those of us there . and for the country
With everything that's been happening in the last few years ..
Eve Of Destruction still strikes a resonating chord
Now more than ever....

Still is the best country in the world 🌎
Absolutely!
Beautiful memories . I met my husband in 1965 . He passed away last year . We had a wonderful life

How lucky I feel to have grown up with all this wonderful music.Soundtrack of a life.
Exactly!!
I grew up in this era too. It was the best time to be growing up! The best music.
Same here!! 1939 was one of the great years for film and 1965 was for music.
True, but it makes us "seniors" now.
you guys are lucky my generation was not as good sadly
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones is one of the greatest songs of all-time. Everything from that iconic guitar riff and Mick Jagger's powerful rocking voice!
The sixties was some of the best music ever recorded. I still listen to these oldies.
When I met my husband at a party the first record we danced to was Unchained Melody we got married 5 years later and are still together since 1966.
I still get goose bumps when I hear that song.
Thanks these golden oldies are the best ♥️

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST YEARS OF MEMORIES IN MY LIFE AND THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME. GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
A great year for pop music. I turned 16 that year, the same year I got my driver's license. The car radio was going all the time, blasting out these great tunes, crusin' along in my naive, youthful bliss.
I was 17 in Jan 65 and passed my driving test on the 3 of may that year.Had a great time in various old sheds with valve radio on full belt😊
What does it feel like to belong to the generation who destroyed everything?
If, like me, you remember these times then we grew up in the absolute best of times.
That sure was a strange era, but most of the songs were clean, deeply moving and filled with heart and soul! 🥰
Porter Productions True, and so clean that no known of infectious disease as today.
Porter Productions, speaking of heart and soul listen to heart full of soul by the yardbirds! Wanna listen to some 60s guitar work!
Compared with the crap in the charts now
Youthquake. World War II was finally behind us, we were in the Cold War, the futility of Vietnam, Civil Rights in the USA, and these great songs.
There are a lot of silly songs intended just for entertainment from that era. The parents didn't think the dancing was clean & worried about their children's possible moral decay. If haven't already, watch movie "Dirty Dancing". There is current music with heart & soul. Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful", John Legend "All of me", Ed Sheeran "Perfecr" (ft Beyonce is personal favorite), Thomas Rhett "Die a happy man", Train "Drops of Jupiter", Vanessa Carlton "A thousand miles", Devin Dawson "All on me"... not impressive, planning a wedding so had these titles handy. Rap music can have foul language & sometimes don't like how it refers to women, violence, etc. Most of it is meant as a social commentary, 'only way to make money if you live in the hood is to be a member of a gang & sell drugs' kinda thing. Each generation pushes the boundaries in order to have people pay attention & listen to the message. My favorite is Eminem, can understand his lyrics. But true love is the blues... Etta James "At last", anyone's rendition of "Angel from Montgomery with most current fav Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Lang "Lie to me". Luv luv luv music! Every experience in my life, whether
1965... the year my mom was born. I only came into existence in 1986, but grew up with my parents record collection which consisted of 50s and 60s pop music.
I LOVE music from that era and absolutely LOATHE pretty much everything on the radio now.
I was 14 years old in 65. My favorite record of all time- Sugar Pie Honey Bunch by the Four Tops, I wore out playing it over and over. It drove my dad crazy. He was a gifted musician hailing from the Big Band Era. He kept telling me that rock wasn’t really music and that it would die soon. 😎
Levi Stubbs had a hauntingly beautiful voice*^*
I had to comment when I read your post. That was mine too and I was the same age. I would sleep with the radio on turned real low and if I woke up durning the night I’d check to see if it was playing!🤣
Love Jay & the Americans
Unchanged Melody was the dance song at my wedding .
I was 12 in 65
Heerlijke tijd. Zo vreselijk braaf. Jammer, had graag de gehele nummers beluisterd en bekeken. Heimwee naar toen.
This time in 1965 I was 13. Lots of great memories, lots of sadness too. But now, in retrospect I realize that's life. Nothing sharpens the focus on the times of our lives in the here and now, like the music you grew up with.
The 60's were awesome. I enjoyed every moment up to the Vietnam war messed everything up. But, man, the music was so damn great!
(: That is true ... ☺
Vietnam was just another horrific war that we did not need!!!!! ... 😢 My oldest cousin went to Vietnam ... he died unexpectedly in 2019, right after the 2018 Holidays, and in a very short time from cancer!!!!! ... 😢 We were told that "nothing could be done"!!!!! ... 😢 After being in the Hospital (they had already sent him home, but he had to go back) ... then he was brought to Hospice and only lived a few days (even less time than was expected)!!!!! ... 😢 He was a father figure to his siblings, and he had his own beautiful family, a wife, a son, a daughter, and grandkids!!!!!
He was still young ... !!!!! ... 😢
He and his wife had celebrated their Anniversary either a year, or two before he passed away!!!!! It is still hard to believe that he is gone ... 😢 (; (; (; (; (; He was great to the entire family ... everything was about family to him!!!!! ... 😚 I had a newspaper article that a Reverend had written a comment on regarding Vietnam, and he even blamed Kissinger!!!!!
His points all had to be true ... from what we know today!!!!!
Yes, and hearing these songs from that magic year, it's so sad to think that it was Barry McGuire who saw the future.
@@davidkaiser I remember "Eve of Destruction" quite well. There is another song that is as relevant today as it was back then it was released in 1966. Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth".
@@reb1050 Oh, yes.
Was 9 years old when this great music was on the radio. Great stuff!
My mom and dad were married in 1966 and they always played music like these golden oldies 💫my dad passed in 2013 and he was a big part of why I love music 🎶 also moody blues had a tune from 1965 called"go now"for the longest time I never knew they did that song!') great job ✌️💟🤗
The transistor radio started to be affordable. Most of the songs had to be under 3 minutes to get plenty of air play. Many one hit wonders that live on today. You could hear the words unlike some today.
I love all of these songs, 60's were some of the best music ever!
1965 was one of the best year in pop music. It was a music of my youth and my adult daughter still listen to Unchained Melody, to Rolling Stones, to Elvis and many of above artists.
Funny, but I can't say the same about my mother era music.
Sonny & Cher - Ok, Stones- Yes, But the Richeous Brothers. My God listen to their voices!!!! They are still exciting the new generation!
This music so powerful for a teenager. The feelings caused explosions for those going into the world on our own for the first time. Keep in mind we were coming out of MUSAC in the grocery stores, in elevators, doctor's offices. Can you imagine being shopping in a grocery store listening to the Beatles? No such thing at the time.
My senior year of high school.Started college met my wife. It all went by so fast. 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968. They were the best years of my life.
So many talented voices! Sometimes the music just doesn’t capture the talent
Petula Clark was one of those voices. Fantastic!
😎 I’m 73 years old and there is NO WAY that Unchained Melody would have been anything BUT NUMBER 1 on your list🙄
I agree. Who gets to choose this list?
If it's done right, they go by either the charts or record sales or a combination of the two.. Which means the best songs won't necessarily be at the top of these lists. Eleanor Rigby, for example didn't even make the Billboard charts top ten.
It is a great song, and Bobby Hatfield sings it beautifully.
Great Song
I thoroughly agree.
Of course the Rolling Stones are number one!!! 👍
I was just 18 when I remembered these wonderful songs! Miss those days-wished I could live those years again!
You and me both .
If there was ever a way I’m going.
Has to be one of the best years of music ever!
This is one of the reasons I love UA-cam, I can go back in time anytime I want. I was 12 in 65 by the way.
I was 9 and loving music
Well I was 1, but still remember most of these songs!
I was 11 but YES ! .................
And my big brother was 18, it helped .............
Me too! I was 12 also in 1965. Music was always my escape while growing up. These songs bring up so many good memories.
Just graduated from High School, got my first job and bought my first car a 1956 Mercury. These past 51 years have flown by like a blink of the eye.
And there goes two more.
Ain't that the truth!
How did we get old so fast?
Mine was Robin’s Egg Blue with a white top.
Mercury Meteor powder blue, Got it from my brother when he left for Vietnam, 1968. He came back alive, he was one of the lucky ones.
Unchained by the Righteous Brothers was the best song of the decade!
I was 8 in 65 living in California and remember these songs very well. There was a mom and pop market 2 blocks from my house. I had to pass there to and from school. They had a loud speaker set up in the parking lot that played all the pop music. They had their radio set on 93 KHJ Boss Radio (still remember the jingle). After school a bunch of us kids would go buy a soda or candy and sit out in the parking lot and listen to music. Such cool memories.
KFWB!!! Channel 98!
Was 9 in NJ and listened to 77 WABC NYC. On radio my nana got me. I hid it under the pillow listened all night
Remember Cousin Brucie, their star DJ .
The British invasion was in full swing. 64 and 65 two great years of music. What a time to grow up.
Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks 'nuff said.
@@WELLRESPECTEDAPE The Mount Rushmore of British Bands. I would like to add the Animals to that list.
yes it was!!
This era was a bomb I'm so glad that I lived it. The music as well as the movies that were made from their albums. Loved it
Let’s face it! We (baby boomers) had the best music that’s still being played today!!!
I am 71 now. These were great songs❤. I enjoy all kinds of music from 1963 to present.
I was 17 in 1965 and a junior in high school. Man, I love the music from that time. I can still do all the dances from that time at 75. God, it was a great time.
All growing up in the 60's heard this music going to school.. on the radio at home.. OMG.. Best times of my life
Ever notice how today's music all sounds the same? Not in the 60's....there was something for everybody.
I agree happy days
I agree. Lots of variety, singers didn’t all sound alike and you could always hear the lyrics. What’s up with all the screaming?
I was 20 in 1965, I’m 75 now in 2020 (
good memories)
Didn’t hear most of these songs till 1967, spent 64 to 67 on an all expense paid vacation plus got a bunch of nice green cloths to wear and,
got to drive around in a tank.
I was 5 years old in 1965. These songs faded in loud and clear on WLS in Chicago after midnight on our old radio in Northern Michigan.
Yes, as well as in Southwestern Michigan, which of course, was closer to Chicago.
Sure brings back memories. I never knew what many of them looked like. Hadn't thought of so many of those songs in decades. Thank you 😊
Wow. The songs that were playing in the year that my husband and I were married. June 1965. Seems like yesterday, but that was 52 years ago. Where did the time go?? Our 3 children are 49, 47 and 39. WOW !!!!!!
Turned 16 in the Summer of ‘65 and 70 this Summer. Grew up on this stuff. We were lucky, huh?
Jeff Hale yes
Jeff Hale I was 16 in May of '65 and I am 70 now. The years went by very fast. We did grow up on good music.
12 in 1965
I'm right behind you one year.
Me too! I was the bass player in a a garage band that played much of this stuff. I tell you, it was the golden age of music!!!
Many wonderful memories, I had my first child in May that year. Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️
Wow. I’m 72 now and grew up in Long Beach, California. It was a great place to grow up (back then) and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. We all worked after school to get money to sink into our cars. I remember my first date with my wife was at Disneyland in ‘69. (Married in ‘72 and still going strong.) Back then Disneyland used tickets to get onto the rides (‘A’ - ‘E’ tickets) and we could get into the park for only the price of admission if no tickets were purchased. The big draw was the rock groups that would play each weekend on the Tomorrowland stage. We saw, Lovin’ Spoonful, Byrds, Gary Puckett & Union Gap, and others there. It was a different time than now. My best friend and I would ride our bikes with our pellet rifles out to the farm fields along the concrete flood control channel and hunt for seagulls, rabbits, etc. (don’t think we ever hit anything). We would walk along the top of the channel, (remember the flood control channel in Grease?) and walk by the Long Beach police gun range where they would be shooting. They never bothered us even though we’d be within about 40 yds of the range. Don’t think that would happen today. The farm fields are gone and now they’re a couple of car dealers and houses, and a VA hospital. What a shame.
1965: Graduated High School, met my wife while she was in nursing school, then2 of us dating, Viet Nam aboard a Navy Destroyer, etc.
Ahhhhhh, the memories!!! Music has never been as good as back then! Thanks for posting
Thank you for your service in that wild , swinging year!👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@shawnmalone9711 And welcome Home.
I was on the carrier USS Coral Sea then, Mate.
Where is Bob Dylan? He had 2 Top Ten hits in 1965, Like A Rolling Stone and Positively 4th Street
Yep, Vietnam aboard a Navy Destroyer was definitely the way to go. I had to wait about five years for my turn in the barrel, though.
Motown was the bomb! Loved it!
Still my favorite. Listen to it all the time.
Best music ever. Todays black music is so angry and violent it's pathetic.
My younger sister put me on to mototown some years later younger brother British band slide. am A Late late 1940s Child. Rock on.🍺😇🇬🇧
It was great being a teen in the 60's, we had lots of great music and good clean fun in my small town anyway. There was just enough innocence to have a really special time to be young and not know it all.
Remember no drugs n respect 4 elders paramount
Hi Vickie, I agree with all you say.
You nailed it Vicky!!! I grew up in the 70's and although we were trying to grow up too fast, times were slower, ..we we're able to stay kids longer...like if we wanted entertainment, we walked to the drug store and bought a MAD magazine...not just pull out our phone!
@@thefootboy20 alfres e neuman........yay!!!!!
@@hossenismail9497 Not my experience. Lots of wild parties, LSD, good times, trips to the beach, lot of pot and great music. Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Al Green, CCR, Taj Mahal, Aretha, and Janis...best of the best.
I turned 5 years old in 65. And would enter first grade the next year. I remember everything from 2 years old forward, I've always thought it strange that everyone doesn't. I absolutely loved "downtown".
I remember me sitting at our big old radio as a little boy of 7 years and listening
to those new exciting songs. Looking through the backside of this furniture to see the
little men and women who played this music i could only see the glowing lights of the tubes
inside. Now sixty years later those tunes are really worth to be sampled on a CD, its
the year they went into the whole world and burned into the minds of those people like you and me.
Thank you very much for posting it, yours sincerely, Gerhard.😊😊😊
Just turned 65 boomer here we had the best music! Beautiful fun memories. A time of innocence and growth! I wish the new generation could see what a life we were lucky to live in!
wOw this is the best year of unbeilevable music ever.........what a treat going back in time to 1965,,,,,,,,there will never be another year like that,,,,,the greatest...!
All of these years and lifetimes later and i still remember the songs and where i was at and what i was going through. Great Year
Loved hermans hermits elvis the beatles
It Hurts To Be In Love and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance I play over and over again. I'm 76 that's 58 years of replays and memories. Thanks Gene.
In '65 I was 10. Grew up with this music and so did my kids. Got us through some rough times and Saturday house cleanings
I was born in '65. What a good year that was for humanity 😊😁
Me too, I was born in may '65.
What a year for music. I was only 6 years old but two years later I would buy my first album - The Monkees. Music back then was an important part of people's lives as everyone listened to the same music on their local radio station, no matter what town they were in.
Wow..Unchained Melody is to this day one of my favorite songs. So many memories here!! Thanks for posting these!!
Always reminds me of "Ghost"
From the 1955 movie "Unchained" which starred former NFL great Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch.
I sang this song with my High school choir, but this was in the 90's. Lol
1962-1966 was the high summer of American popular music, and 1965 was the best year of all...the Beatles, Beach Boys, Hermans Hermits, Mel Carter, Jay & The Americans, Elvis, Motown, Dave Clark 5, Petula Clark...there was no end to the best songs ever written. The Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody" is timeless!
It's 2024 i just came across this collection of music from my youth. Born in 1947 i was old enough to be blessed to be in my best years with the best music ever and i must say thanks to all of you who made comments below. The music was the best but reading your comments really pulled on my heart strings because they were my memories too. Wow, this really makes me miss my youth. The best time in my lifetime. So care free until Vietnam.
I graduated in 1966 and remember all these good songs. These were the best songs to grow up with
I also graduated in 1966 these were some of the best songs! I love them all!
I was born in January 66 and love this music. I remember my mother dancing around while cleaning to radio..dad was very straight laced .worked for the military contractor .mom would've probably been a flower power chick .
I to graduated in 1966 from Northside High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana
A great place and time to grow up. I joined the Marines then became a Phoenix Police officer. Retired may 1999
@@wallacegeller2111 thank you for your service .i love that area of the state .i lived in the dallas/ft.worth area .drive a semi. use to pick up in Auburn and Angola
Ricky, I know Auburn and Angola very well while growing up in Fort Wayne. I ended up in Phoenix after getting out of the Marines. I'm retired now and live in Sun City which is the Northwest Phoenix meti area. My Gra father drove truck for North American Ban lines. Happy trails.
