What a great time to be alive. I was born in 1947 on Christmas, I left school just before my 15th birthday (because I had a job to go to) I first heard Love me do by the Beatles in the works canteen, from then music was so different from what we were used to. Elvis started the transition along with others but Elvis was the catalyst. The Beatles made the real change and I bought a motor scooter, a Vespa GS 160, I had all of the trimmings, the fly screen, the lights the fairing, everything to look flash, it was great to pull the girls(which was the main reason to become a Mod) we used to get paid on Friday`s and we used to go away as a group, normally six of us and we would meet other Mods, go to parties (we could take the parka`s off and be in our suits) pick up the girls, if we had no parties we would sleep on beaches. Music was our main thing but it was like being in a big club. Even the seaside battles between the mods and the rockers were all overhyped by the press and not as bad as it was reported. I know I was there for all of them. The sixties was a great time to be young, life was a lot simpler then and we all enjoyed our lives. These days it seems as though people cant have a night out without causing trouble or somebody being stabbed, we never had that, a fight was just that between two people. We all collected the music that we liked and I had all of the Beatles albums.
Thank God l grow up listening to these fantastic songs now l am 60 l get the pleasure of listening all over again on you tube it takes me back to my childhood
Started high school 1959 good years good times good country hood respect good people.WHAT HAPPENED WORLD DID NOT CHANGE BUT PEOPLE DID. NEVER SEE THOSE DAYS AGAIN.
Was a teenager during the ‘60’s . Best music , best sport viewing , vacations , freedom ... fantastic time to grow up . I consider myself so very lucky .
The Beatles..."I feel fine" "Eight days a week" "Ticket to ride" Help" and "Yesterday" That`s a whole career for any other band, but only just another year for the Beatles! Amazing. They literally ruled the world in the 60`s...

Michael Serby For many yes but that’s also when divorce rates were on the rise. Broken homes. No family vacations no merry Christmas, no happy birthdays. It was a very crappy time for many, I know personally and it left it’s mark.
Wow! I remember my older sister playing these songs on records. I was 10 yrs young at the time. I enjoyed these songs all of them. I heard : " Help Me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys at a school Pep Ralley in the school Gymnasium. Cool! Thanks!
R.I.P. Mary Wilson. You were part of one of the all time great music acts in American entertainment history! Love The Beatles, but The Supremes will always have a special place in my heart. Hell, they were Ed Sullivan's favorite musical group! Would you believe their 17 appearances on his BIG SHOE are the most of any group during the 50's and 60's Rock & Roll Era! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂😍
I was a freshman in 1960. Best music ever made from then to the 80's. There are still good songs Coming out now, but BIG difference in a good song then and a good song now. Whole different level.
I am still listening to these hits everywhere I go ' coz they were in my i-pod. They bring back lots of memories. Love them all. I was born in 1955. Great job. Congrats!
Wonderful songs, beautiful music, evergreens!! And as we always have to mention it, the American playlists were always one year behind the British charts!! 🤗✌️
poor kids today will never have new real music again, rock and roll was the classical music of are time, thank god we had the tech at the time to record it all
that's probably what are parents said. My mom was cool she liked everything. My oldest sister was into Elvis. I preferred one hit wonders especially loved 67. I put my music on my computer and mp3 so I don't have to listen to what I don't like
Smokeynewton Well, i`ve seen The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Elton John.. I wasn`t born in the 60`s, so i had to see them recently, but it was worth every dime.. I`ve seen McCartney twice.
@Robert Zimmerman The Beatles had more no.1 hits in 1965 than Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Neil Diamond had through their whole career! I think the Monkees had three no.1 singles in total, and Herman`s Hermits had two?
That was one of the best years ever to turn 13...finally a "teenager," and the Junior High School Dances were the best. I really loooooooooooooove looking back at all these great songs of the 50's and 60's. (DH, Oklahoma City, 8.25.19)
It was a very good year in music. I played a few of these songs on my acoustic guitar. Now if only that damned war in Southeast Asia wasn’t creeping up on me.
Sorted by increasing datesFar better than the chart numbers!! Those of us old enough to remember that year, as we heard it on AM radio, should appreciate this!! Thanks!
1965...That was SOME year in the history of pop music! This is music that really goes straight to...and from...the soul. I don't think I'm being a grumpy old man to say that there is no comparison these days to this level of achievement.
My mommie and my daddie we’re creating me this year and I’ll see everyone in 1966! Still and always have loved most of the music from the time I came to grace the Earth with my wit and humor and good looks! Thank you very much your welcome please!!
Thank you Channel4Fantasy for taking the time to put this together. Good job. I was 15 in January, 16 at December. Every note and nuance of every one of these songs was absorbed into my being throughout this greatest year in pop music history.
I was living in Cleveland this year and I was 16. We used to drive my parents car up to Detroit a lot, too. The music that was coming out with the British Invasion, Motown and rock and roll was just incredible. As you can see here, there were a lot of different kinds of music playing. People were starting to get into the blues early on and a lot of bands played blues tunes with a modern twist. The Beatles were leading the charge but soon there were lots of bands doing their own things. It kind of exploded that year and went on until about 1970. I mean the wide variety of music. A great soundtrack to my life. I like all music including opera and sypmphony, but I always come back to this era to listen to some raw rock and roll. Led Zeppelin carried on into the 70s and so did a lot of new bands. We need more public music events, more rock in the park and stuff like that. We do it with art and statues, why don't we do it with music. It's something that's primal to us.
Hey Anthony I'm a Walsh too and yes we had great Australian music here too in the sixties which the rest of the world missed out on but we had the pleasure of enjoying all of the world hits
Best days of my lifetime . ALL OF THE 60S. All the garage/patio parties/Dick Dale at Harmony park, all the greatness. I think I'm stuck in the 60s without an apology.
I have 23/27 of the #1 hits from 1965 in my collection! Only missing I'm Telling You Now; Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter; I'm Henry VIII I Am; and Over & Over.
suzycreamcheesez it truly was. I was 10 in 1965. Top 40 was the only social media other than rotary dial landlines 😂 the hits just kept coming year after year. I hear that gang banger noise when I’m at a red light and look at the driver. They always look like their ready to shoot someone or themselves.
It was fantastic. I had a radio under my pillow at night and went to sleep listening to all this phenomenal music. When I say it is part of who I am, it’s not just words. This stuff still raises the hair in my arms. It has brought me so much happiness.
I won't put down the music today but I can say that was an awfully good year. Thanks for putting this together. Surprised to see Dave Clark Five at the end. There is a transition from the British invasion going on, lots of good soul. I'd love to have all these hits on a disc.
There are many rare, true live performances in this video, including the ones by Supremes, the Four Tops, The Byrds, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and the electric Yesterday.
Just sad the way top 40 today has sunk into total homogeneous irrelevance. There is no way todays computerized dance music & throwaway lyrics are going to be remembered 50 years from now like hits of the sixties are today
@@jazzyrick No not necessarily, my mum liked a lot of our music and so did my dad but he wouldn't admit it. I know he liked to watch The Old Grey Whistle Test on TV.
TurkeysGames >>>> Fair enough - I happen to like their earlier work (albums up to and including Help)..”Please Please Me” ...my favourite song. After that they became increasingly pretentious and self conscious. That said...everyone has their own favourites.
Five #1 for Beatles and the Supremes. . . . . .Indeed, when music was music. I love the dance by the Temptation and Four Tops. Where did our music go . . . .
1965 has always stuck out in my mind as the year having the best music ever. The year-end hit parade in Winnipeg, Canada where I grew up, had "Satisfaction" as #1 fir the year. #2?? ..... "Mrs. Brown" by Herman's Hermits.
Today's my birthday I'm 61 I can remember as a young boy dancing to the songs with my sister and my mom I'll treasure this forever
The 60's had the best music, EVER!!!!!!!!!
That's what I call music crap mostly nowadays
Most definitely thee Best Music. Great time growing up in the 60’s.
Aaaahhhhh ......the wonderful sixties....never again,for teenagers it was magical,steady stream of classic hits!
You just can’t beat the music of the 60’s for fabulous music. Never dates !

1965, number one hits, rock, pop, r&b, diversity in this great era of rock and roll, all these songs are classics
This music is a therapy 50 years later.
Absolutely the best decade in music history, the Beatles and Motown ruled the day.
An absolute special time to be growing up----Will NEVER be duplicated.
Started high school 1959 good years good times good country hood respect good people.WHAT HAPPENED WORLD DID NOT CHANGE BUT PEOPLE DID. NEVER SEE THOSE DAYS AGAIN.
Memories, oh so many memories of my teens, great music and I had the time of my life. I’ll never forget it. Seen so many of these people live.
Hi! I'm 76, And loved when music was music. Loved all the great years in my teens. Sweet Memories. Bob.
Wonderful memories from my 13th year. The '60s can never be matched!
i`m now 69 and cry that these times are gone forever,
I wouldn't give up being old to miss the music of the 60s. Today would be my first husband's 69th birthday. Hope you remember the music.🎶
Ronald Phillips: there is some new good stuff. Mark Knopfler's Sailing to Philadelphia, for one. Just remember the Shapes of Things to come!

Was a teenager during the ‘60’s . Best music , best sport viewing , vacations , freedom ... fantastic time to grow up . I consider myself so very lucky .
1965 was an absolutely awesome and memorable year in the history of popular music! So many quality hits came out then.
How blessed to have been a 10 year old kid during this wonderful time of music. WOW..so many great songs. Many songs that I played in bands for years!
I still have all my 45’s & when my granddaughter comes down we play them! 1965 was high school, saw the Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens...great times!
The Beatles..."I feel fine" "Eight days a week" "Ticket to ride" Help" and "Yesterday" That`s a whole career for any other band, but only just another year for the Beatles! Amazing. They literally ruled the world in the 60`s...
It's still unbelievable. What a group The Beatles where and still are.
Entire careers have been built on just one hit that was not as big as "Yesterday".
Overrated
@@allegra0 People like what they like, and not everybody likes The Beatles. However, they would only be "overrated" if they were considered the best band ever by the people who did like them, if they were not also the biggest-seller of all time. As the biggest-selling artist of all time, they were not overrated. It does not mean you have to like them.
And those hits were the follow-up to their dominating hits the previous year.
This brought me back to being an 8 year old playing outside with my transistor radio. Good times!
60s my generation. What a great time to grow up in America 🇺🇸 💙
yep, if you are not black or a Kennedy or 18 years old.
Talk about my generation Hope I die before I get old. ~ The Who?

For many yes but that’s also when divorce rates were on the rise. Broken homes. No family vacations no merry Christmas, no happy birthdays. It was a very crappy time for many, I know personally and it left it’s mark.
Rick Lewis - same here.
Loved the 60's, so glad I was there. Never be again but can always go back for a while❤❤
I listen to oldie stations every day on tune-in. Always takes me back to the sixties and good memories!
Thank God for Tribute Bands & You Tube!!

I am 70 & remember this MUSIC like I was there now,
Not only am I so happy I was born in the greatest decade ever but I was born on the greatest year with the greatest music 60s were the best
Im 18 yrs old and I felt some connection to each of these songs.
Very impressive film footage of all the performers!
Such an outburst of amazing creativity!

What a wonderful mix. Makes me happy I lived then and sad all was lost. Thank you again!!
so happy/lucky to have grown up in the 60's. :)
Wonderful songs, beautiful music, evergreens!!
And as we always have to mention it, the American playlists were always one year behind the British charts!! 🤗✌️
Great compilation! Amazing how olds songs can instantly transport you back in time - recall what you were doing, who you were with, etc..
poor kids today will never have new real music again, rock and roll was the classical music of are time, thank god we had the tech at the time to record it all
I am a child. And I am here to forget in such hopeless times for music I have to live
Back when music was innocent, you can feel the beauty of poetry and of course the catchy tunes.
You said it 😍

This is great music,glad I was a teen during this time
That was great music in the late 50’s early 60’s Nd early 70’s. The teens now mss out of good music and great movies.
I didnt realize till now that '65 was a pretty good year for music.
Love the oldies , grew up listening to these songs
The best yrs of my life brilliant memories never ever to be forgotten great music great times ❤️❤️❤️😢

Love this post. Thanks so much.

Was there for all of it. I'm in my late 60's now and what a time it was.

I guess I’m growing old because I love the 60’s and 70’s music! Today’s music not for me!
I was in another 🎶 world 🎶when my father bought me my first transistor radio (Philco) back in 1964.
Beatles for ever!Love !
I might be old, but at least I grew up with REAL music, not the crap of today.
philip martin Indeed, but our parents said the same thing back in the day...
I agree 100%
What year did people stop making real music?
philip martin not the RAP of today...rubbish performers
you said that right good old days for sure
I LOVE that many of the performances are LIVE in this compilation video. Makes me hungry to look up the complete performances here on youtube.
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons had many hits still immortalized the the Hit Broadway musical JERSEY BOYS.
Left San Diego in May 1965, to move to Detroit. Love this music!
I would stayed in San Diego

W 1965 zaczynałem słychać tej muzyki 🤫😄👍💪
The year of The Beatles
And of the Supremes
Actually the decade *
The Doors are coming.......
... and the Supremes.
Was six, and been listening to this music ever since.
Right there with you, Dan. I was 5, in 1965. Still love it all. AM radio days! 😂
The 60s music was incredible growing up I thought this was going to be what music would be, sadly I was wrong, Beatles were the Trail Blazers
My God! What an amazing time to grow up in! I'm so jealous!
I have to say the music was great.
suzycreamcheesez it truly was. I was 10 in 1965. Top 40 was the only social media other than rotary dial landlines 😂 the hits just kept coming year after year.
I hear that gang banger noise when I’m at a red light and look at the driver. They always look like their ready to shoot someone or themselves.
It was fantastic. I had a radio under my pillow at night and went to sleep listening to all this phenomenal music. When I say it is part of who I am, it’s not just words. This stuff still raises the hair in my arms. It has brought me so much happiness.
Yes growing up in the 1960s in UK was the best
This was my favorite year of music, and this video was excellently done! Great job!
Yes a GREAT Year...!!! & a GREAT Video. : )
The Beatles!! and the rest......
Not quite. I guess you missed Motown.
I won't put down the music today but I can say that was an awfully good year. Thanks for putting this together. Surprised to see Dave Clark Five at the end. There is a transition from the British invasion going on, lots of good soul. I'd love to have all these hits on a disc.
OH GOD ..The sounds of our innocence...please someone -bring them back
1965 could almost be summed up in music as British Invasion and Motown.
The Byrds, too.
You hit right on target. The rest of those songs were average!!
And Lou Christie
And the BeachBoys who were just about to unleash Pet Sounds !
CArchivist The Four Seasons had some hits around there.
So one of my favourite songs ever made it to number one 2 days after my bday
What a great year for music. So much diversity.
There are many rare, true live performances in this video, including the ones by Supremes, the Four Tops, The Byrds, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and the electric Yesterday.
To hear these after 50 odd years, good memories.
Real music- no autotune, which just makes a bad vocalist sound worse. Real voices, real emotion, real real music!
Loved the Surpremes. Great songs.
Just sad the way top 40 today has sunk into total homogeneous irrelevance. There is no way todays computerized dance music & throwaway lyrics are going to be remembered 50 years from now like hits of the sixties are today
I'm sure old people said the same thing in 1965...heh.
Nope. You're right.
But ya know what? Thats what makes these even greater now. Thank god for long term memory, huh?

Like A Rolling Stone was released that year. Hard to believe it wasn't a #1.

Wow-the Supremes really gave the Beatles a run for their money back in 1965 with four no. 1 hits! Had never known that till now.
they were just about as big as the Beatles then(esp. after Lennon made his infamous "Jesus" comment).
Takes me back to the really hot summer of 1965. I was 14/15.
Great music great days Yorkshire lad ☺️
thanks you tube for bring me joy in my life at my old age going back to hi school and our music when the beatles were youngsters
