these songs were pre beatles. I was not around in 1963. six years before I was born and I know 90 percent of these songs. Glad you got almost the entire top hits songs of the rock era
The year 1963 had quite a few new groups and solo artists. These are the few that reached out to the public far and wide: Young Lovers by Paul & Paula; It's up to you - a huge hit by the handsome Ricky Nelson; Those lazy, hazy days of summer by Nat King Cole had it's place in the sun for a while; Lesley Gore's Judy's turn to cry was a hit by this gorgeous singer, a true beauty too; If I had a hammer by Trini Lopez had a beat that everyone wanted to dance to; Your'e the reason I'm living by Bobby Darin. The end of the world by Skeeter Davis was easily the biggest hit of 1961 with this enchanting number. Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain by The Cascades was another major hit and serves as a ringtone to many mobile phones today.
1963! Oh how many great songs came out! I was surprised Bill Anderson was on here! I turned 10 that year,& what was supposed to be one of best days for me,turned out to be one of the saddest. Patsy Cline & 3 others lost their lives that day. Later that year we lost our beloved president.💔
Gee, I forgot some of these songs were from 1963. I was 21 and got married in July of that year. As I've said before on UA-cam, I lost her to cancer less than 30 years later.
As with a few other years around this time--I graduated from high school on June 15, 1967, five days after my 18th birthday--I recognized most of this year's songs, especially the top 20. "Deep Purple" was, supposedly, the favorite of Babe Ruth, of all people. "So Much in Love" and "End of the World" are tearjerkers... for different reasons. "If You Wanna Be Happy" made me laugh myself sick the first time I listened to the lyrics! :D
My personal favorite is 3:24 (Mary Well´s "Two Lovers") cause *this Smokey Robinson composition preceded a mid tempo beat* that cames famous and almost standard later.
@@sixtus7832 It's when innocence died in the US, not that the US was innocent prior to that but it made more people aware. Don't know your age but if you were alive back then you might understand the change...more like a feeling I guess.
@@harryberry474 I agree. My family were living in London in the early 60s. When President and Mrs. Kennedy visited London in May 1961, we were among the nearly 1 million people that turned out to see them motorcade through central London. I vividly remember the excitement of everyone around us when they drove by. I was 7 and my father put me on on his shoulders so I could see the President and I was waving an American flag. I was so excited that he looked my way and I course I thought he was waving back at me! My parents said they were never so proud to be American than that day. We were back living in the States by November 1963, and I was in elementary school when the entire school was directed to the gym where the Principal Mr. Terris made the shocking announcement of the President's assassination. I can still hear the gasps of the teachers and older kids. School was then dismissed.
I hear you. I was five in August that year and even I felt it then. Looking back, it seemed the country and the world took a turn. "Blowin' in the Wind" by Peter, Paul, and Mary seemed appropriate.
Oh boy, what a year! Turned five in August in '63. I remember a lot of things from that time, with one thing I wished never had happened: 11/22/1963. Who would have thought "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons would be followed by "Dominique" by the Singing Nun, two and three! "Mickey's Monkey" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles was released on my fifth birthday, August 31st. I actually saw the Ronettes perform "Be My Baby" on this TV show (can't remember what it was called- they were singing it like a serenade to this guy on a city street), which seemed like a prelude to music videos of the past few decades. Ned Miller's "From A Jack To A King" was released on Fabor records- I remember watching the 45rpm disc turning round and round on the turntable! Unfortunately, "Washington Square" by the Village Stompers and "Everybody" by Tommy Roe were chart occupiers around the tragic day of JFK's assassination: I'm going to Texas this year to see the memorial for the first time- hard to believe it's been 60 years.
America's Christian soul had not been completely lost as of yet, the music of a people shows a people's soul and values. Look at the clothes , how they dance and wear their hair. What they sing about. Make no mistake a moral . Hurricane was coming within the next few years . my point is technology today could render beautiful songs and music but listen to what they do with it, Asid rains inside my brain, the devil has cut out my soul, when I die my soul will cry for drugs, sex and rock and roll. . There's nothing beautyful in that.
I have listened to this kind of lists from the latest years to now 1963, and the latest years are bad, but the 60's even more bad, if it's 7 seconds even bad songs sound kinda okey, but not quite the case with the 60's so, you get bored even if it's 7 seconds. Still I'm so bored/nothing to do, and I'm an amateur expert in music so I see this a little bit of a duty, I listened anyway.
@@joeswartz8286 I thought the mid thru late 60s had most of the best Music, the 70s had some good stuff, until Disco made a Mess. In the 80s, Punk showed some promise, but by 87 Pop Music was, and has been in the Shitter, especially after (c)rap came out. With a few Bright Lights(Green Day, and a few Others) Music these days is still in the Shitter
I think not the beatles played teeny bopper music early thats why they were so big, later they matured and played much better music then there early years.
I just love the old music ❤ I was 13 years old...beautiful memories.
OLDIES BUT GOODES MUSIC THAT BRINGS OUT MEMORIES LANE AWESOME FEELING ❤👍😎🍻CHEERS
Wow! Some fabulous tracks in there. Enjoyed all of them.

Thank goodness for a transistor radio back in the day to hear this wonderful music of my era!
This music the music I grow with. Thank you for bringing so much memories ❤️👍🏻👏🏻
Omg..."Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"!!!

WAS 13 YEARS OLD JUST GETTING STARTED MAN SO COOL
Great songs from the year I turned 13! I remember them all!
Time of best melodies in music history
Good music...👍🖐️
As always brillant, francis... thanks
That transition between 46 and 45 is hilarious
I bought some of these songs on 45 rpm records that year. I still have them. Just a magic time to be a kid.
i was 13 then ,use to love the Sar night request session on 2yd

BTW: I'm Paul, not Margaret
Great songs, great era. Where was "Talk to Me" Sunny and the Sunglows? One of the best songs of '63 !
Was on the Year End itself, but not here.
Born in 1960 and b I know about 85% of these classics. I never was a huge fan of the Beachboys though.
Enjoyed this a lot, thanks.

Just wait until '64 and the Beatles hit the US! What a fab time for music, so lucky to have grown up with it.
Turned 10 in Dec 63 I remember alot of them but not all
the 50s and 60s is a majical era in music the world will never know again
Leslie Gore and the beach.boys
The last year of the feeling of innocence and good feeling in America with a bit of a hangover of it in 64. Kennedy’s murder changed everything.
y wud u ever say such a thing 😢🥀🙊

@@harryberry474 Oliver Stone said something similar, from 63 to 73 , the US changed alot, and for worse.

This was before 1963
No. All of "This" was during 1963.
Some released in 1962 but got popular in 1963

Music mostly sucked in 1963, but improved Greatly the year after this, when the Beatles appeared in North America.
I gotta highly disagree with this. Music was better that year than in 1964. To each his own.
I disagree with you there. Music got better in 1964.
Music in general (not all of it) began to slowly slide downward starting in 1964. There were ups and downs.
