BRITISH COUPLE REACTS | Most Popular Song Each Month in the 60s

And Frank’s son, Frank Sinatra, Jr…

[@blinky705]

@@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?

[@GenericUsername1388]

The 60s were a powerful decade for music. Everything changed so much in such a short time

[@peterbradfield2805]

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.

[@jackymullins4144]

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.

[@sarabert63]

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.

@@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.

[@jmcg6189]

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.

[@tovemagnussen4423]

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!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@socalso]

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.

[@raisinette35]

I think Millie would particularly enjoy this whole song!

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 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.

[@VanderNugget]

I think everyone in history said the same thing about the music they grew up with. Though 60s music is undeniably great.

[@paladin5163]

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.

[@ginny5764]

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 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.

My definition of a Banger includes all of those. Y'all got some musical exploring to do, LOL! --Dan

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 ...

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.

[@peterbradfield2805]

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.

[@grimgrinningtracy9157]

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.

[@cindydee8475]

Ohhh The BeeGees... You don't know what its like ❤❤❤

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).

[@JudithHowell-qz3iv]

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.

[@gibson42603]

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.

[@justmecarter1717]

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.

[@LJBSullivan]

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.

[@alexfletcher5192]

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....

[@vernhoke7730]

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.

[@ranger-1214]

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!

[@StevePaur-hf4vy]

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.

[@dgpatter]

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.

[@scottmcnulty70]

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.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

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!

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

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.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

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).

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

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.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

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 😉

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.

The theme from a "Summer Place" is from a movie starring Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee. It was a bit groundbreaking for 1960. It's about a young couple whose families objected to their relationship. She gets pregnant and they need help since the parents won't sign for the wedding. It is here on you tube. Good movie. The song with the nuns wound up being a movie about the French nun sing. Appropriately called "The Singing Nun". Nancy Sinatra is Frank's daughter.

I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, but love a lot of different genres music from the 1960s, well before I was born. Also as an American who follows a football club in England, it's interesting to me how versions of these 1960s classics are still sung by football supporters even today. By the way, "You'll Never Walk Alone" isn't the only song closely associated with a football club on this list. The April 1961 song (5:21) is The Marcels' doo-wop cover of "Blue Moon", which of course has become Manchester City's club anthem.
