The eternal tug of war at our house was between 1050 CHUM and 1010 CFRB. We kids lost control of the dial during the evening newhour to Bill Deegan-Bette Stephenson-Gordon Sinclair et al., otherwise it was CHUM all day every day in the 60's. It was a mammoth cultural influence.

I came from Glasgow to Toronto in 1960 at age 15. 3 years at Winston Churchill Collegiate in Scarborough. Lived life to the fullest in the 60s. Saw the Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1965. They're wasting Toronto now with the forest of 50 storey shoebox sameness

Back in the day, when life was simpler and the world seemed more joyous. A good life for most seemed to still be within reach. That held true until 2020... Once that thing went around the globe, it sadly seemed to set in motion the seeds of drastic change. Now, the good old days will likely only be for the select, much fewer, well to-doers. These videos bring back the wonderful days when almost all could enjoy a pretty nice life, even on a modest income. One didn't deal with anywhere near as much madness as seems so prevalent nowaday. Oh well, make the most of your time, while you can. This theatre, we call life, does have a closing scene. Thanks for posting the video. ❤

Yes I agree. And it changed the world in ways many haven't even imagined yet. There's been a few life altering serious things that went down bang bang bang. George Floyd's murder. Massive election corruption. Harvey Weinstein and the Me Too movement. And before these events there was the removal of the Lord's Prayer in schools etc etc etc. Is it any wonder we're struggling now? I'm struggling. I can't keep up and I DON'T WANT to keep up either. It's like I'm outta place and no where is there any peace left. ONE thing I wish everyone would band together and outlaw is ANY non OEM muffler on everything from cars, trucks, bikes, hell..even bloody leaf blowers now have aftermarket loud exhaust. There's no peace and so little decency left. Computers and social media are among the top inventions that has screwed us. It's made all this other expletive possible and propagation at irreversible levels. This is where I'm having a hard time to NOT say just kick some dirt over me and call it a day. But! On at least a more positive note, I did enjoy this short trip down memory lane in TO. I remember CHUM, the cars, the music, the innocence. The simplicity. I still play the music. It's one of the things keeping me alive.🙏👍🙏

I wonder if they have the master recording, was it recorded this way, or was remastered with the electronic phasing. HMMM.

@johnjames4591 2 ай бұрын

The explanation for this recording’s phasing sound is explained by the original recording engineers at Goldstar Studios where the song was recorded. Here is the link. The discussion of the big hurt is a few minutes into the interview. It’s very interesting. However since Goldstar closed in 1983 or 84 I don’t think the master tapes are available.

When I was a kid, CHUM was the station to listen to. We wouldn't be caught dead listening to CFRB. I used to have a CHUM Bug card in those days. I grew up in the east end of Oakville, not far from the CHUM and CFRB transmitters, which were just across the line in what's now Mississauga.

First shot is of Humbertown Plaza on the Kingsway near Royal York Road, much as I remember it from the 60’s. Years after this, my sister briefly lived in those apartments behind the cleaners (at the far end of the plaza…at least I think it’s cleaners), which later became a Shoppers Drug Mart (not sure if it still is since I haven’t been by there in years). My public school Humber Valley Village that I went to from the mid 60’s to the early 70’s was just NW of this on the Kingsway. Spent much of my youth hanging out here, pretty much right behind where the picture is taken from, where there used to be a smoke shop (what they used to call convenience stores) where we used to buy our 10 cent chocolate bars and 10 cent Hostess chips in the foil bags and 8 cent pops!

I was a Hospice nurse in Dallas/Fort Worth Texas eight years ago. I took care of a woman dying of AIDS,and met her parents. They stated she dated a very handsome man for a while and then came to find out,via the news,that he was a womanizer who had AIDS and knew it. He apparently wanted to get revenge on anyone who would sleep with him due to anger at becoming infected. But who knows if he was infected by a woman? He could have been a fag too.

I remember myself and three friends hitchhiking from Scarborough to the CNE at the age of 12 because of a bus strike we never had any issues getting a ride either way

What a wimp, only hitchhiking from Scarborough to the CNE. I hitchhiked from Oakville to Kitchener and from Severn Bridge (north of Orillia) to Toronto. I also rode my bike from Port Credit to around Pape & Gerrard and from Scarborough up past Barrie to Minesing.
