Hit Parade 1940 | The Best Music Of The Year | Glenn Miller Ella Fitzgerald Bing Crosby

I'm 71 and this is my all time favorite music.

[@davkatjenn]

Think about this for just a moment: The times in which we live are fraught with problems, some of which are unimaginable that we would have to go through some of the same ugliness that our ancestors had to endure and solve. But one thing that helps is that we are in a golden era in some ways as well. Imagine how difficult it was back when this music was popular to be able to hear it when you wanted to hear it, yet here we are able to pull up any music style, genre or particular song on our computer and listen to it and enjoy it. The same thing goes for just about every film that was ever made or every television show; we have all of these things at our fingertips and can enjoy it over and over again. And to those who think that the past was always better, do not forget that every era had its wars, strife and problems to overcome. Thank God we have all this to help us through our own issues.

I work in Senior care for folks who are at the last step before possibly needing to go into a home. Most of my people were born in 1945 or earlier so I play this for them at work. They all light up and immediately start with stories of where they were and what they were doing when they heard a song..... It's a wonderful gift and I really appreciate all the folks who put these compilations together so we can share them 💕♥️💕♥️

During COVID after my Mother passed away. Found her and my grandmothers diaries. I began writing how WWII effected my family in Oklahoma just outside of Ft Sill. To get in the mood look at the dates in the diaries then researched sings played on the radio from 1939 to 1945. Listening to them as a wrote the book was a great help.

In the 60s when we were little and my folks were really young, they used to play cards around the kitchen table with family and friends and listen to rock and roll , rhythm, blues, jazz, Big Band, country and western. They had some comedy records too. Daddy and Mom and their friends loved all the music.

[@steventrott1834]

I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, so music from the 20s and 30s is well before my time, but I have developed a little trick using Goldwave audio editor (or any other audio editor should also work) which brings new life to those old recordings. It is simply a matter of converting a single track monaural recording into a two track audio file with two duplicate monaural tracks. Then, just select one of the parallel tracks (can be left or right) and zoom in to the first second of the recording. Then just delete 3/100 of a second from the silent portion at the beginning of one side of the two track monaural recording. You will be amazed at the results. If you listen to the recording on headsets, you will notice a 3-D, almost stereo effect. You will feel like the band or orchestra is all around you. I love listening to these pseudo-stereo versions of music from the 1920s. It's like going back in time and being able to listen to live performances of the music.

[@rachels.9984]

As a fellow 90's kid, you should feel so blessed to know this kind of music!! It's never played anymore yet it's some of the best music we, as HUMANS, have. I'm also partial to the 60's, so you may find some more old Joy there as well. :) Also just gotta say that Kate's God Bless America always gets me good... thinking about all of the soldiers who don't return home for one reason or another... So moving.

[@SG-ji5ij]

@@cubey America was Founded by whites for whites. In 1965 the immigration laws were radically changed to allow in, for the first time, a large influx of non white foreigners which has been our demise ever since. If you were born after the 80's then you obviously wouldn't know how it truly was before the changes occurred, but we do, and it hasn't been positive for our people, country and culture. Mass dversity is NOT a strength for any country. Never has been, never will be.

[@JackPoynter]

(short version of a longer story I like to tell.) My mother was born in 1914 in Macon, Georgia, she was 26 in 1940. She met the man she was to marry in 1941 or 1942, while working at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, in Florida -- he was in the RAF, over in the states for training purposes. She, being an anglophile from when she was a child, set her cap for him (old idiom, look it up,) and let him chase her, until she caught him. Well, that's what she told me many years later., when she thought I was old enough to understand - I was home on leave after Parris Island, in 1966. He was transferred to Memphis NAS to finish his training, she got a transfer there, and they crossed the river into Arkansas (no waiting period after getting the license,) and married. He was transferred back to England. So she went to the British Consul in Macon, Georgia, and joined the Royal Women's Auxiliary Ambulance Corps, which allowed her to take a troop ship across the North Atlantic in 1943, and they lived at Buckingham Palace -- well, right at it, across the street in Slough, Bucks. My older brother was born June 8th, 1944, in Slough, two days after D-Day, in a nursing home (the hospitals were closed to the general public, reserved for the war wounded.) She said, "As I was having him, a flying bomb fell two blocks from the nursing home. When the bomb went off, I popped him out like spitting out a melon seed. Easiest birth I had, courtesy of Adolf Hitler." This was their music. I grew up listening to their record collection. They're all gone now, long ago, and I'll be 76 tomorrow. Never expected to live this long.

When she was young, she won jitterbug contests. I wish I could have seen her! Last thursday was her birthday, and she would have been 100 if she was still with us. I've been listening to "her" music all week, although she loved all kinds of music and dancing styles. She loved Michael Jackson, and one of the most adorable things I've ever seen was when I walked into the kitchen and caught her "moonwalking" to "Can't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". She was @ 70 at the time, and her dancing was better than I could ever do!

Probably because of that Bing Crosby with Andrew Sisters Christmas album my parents had. Still though 80s pop I like better if I had to choose.

I grew up listening to this music being played on late night television commercials for a group of albums you could buy in installment payments ... yes, albums! I think it was advertised in magazines also. It's a bit older than the music my parents' rocked to, and too new for my grandparents to have enjoyed. Many fond memories!

Makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t born in ^_^

Ink Spots! LOVE them. Grew up listening to my mom's LPs & Ink Spots were her favorites. How can you resist that bass singer??? Actually got to see them live many years ago.

Mary! I noticed that most of the respondents are men. Where are all of the women who I thought were the romantics?

[@Mary-Vintage]

@@Stevescafidi-km3tdI guess they just haven’t discovered the real love songs from 60-80 years ago 🙂

Thanks! I really enjoyed it while I was having my dinner.

Amazing collection..

I was born 30 years later but I play 1940's music in my triple cream colored 2013, infiniti M37x. I agree it sounds better that crap music, oops I mean rap Music. 😀🙂🙃😃 I am a new subscriber.

Try watching the movies from this era. Available free on KZbin.

[@NoRockinMansLand]

Old school rap music is amazing too, you can appreciate a genre without putting down another. That's childish of you

[@johnobrien1882]

I love this music, hopefully it will last for many years to come!

[@SG-ji5ij]

Not the way it's looking currently. It'll be censored/deleted and called racists by the Marxists haters of our once great country and culture.

[@shirleyfrench2895]

On 78's and some 33 LP's, if you can find a good record player.

[@TAKT23]

This kind of music is my first choice to pickup in every dayy, even though I’m a hip hop producer still and always love this vibe 🙏🏻🤙🏼

Excellents souvenirs!🤗

This is so relaxing to listen to this

[@skyeskye0627]

Their voices are so soothing and surprisingly the static makes it better💛

[@paulohenriquenettodealcant246]

Great selection!

[@jesuslopez8325]

😩🙏 my grandmother Hillary was born in 1911 surely she heard 1920-1940 decades songs

[@DeadAbeVigoda]

I miss when songs had more than one note.

Glenn Miller will always be my favorite swing musician. Bought the original recordings vinyl set, and it sounds SO GOOD

[@rubytuesday4564]

As a kid, when my dad drove us anywhere, he listened on the radio to this musical genre, and because he grew up in NYC in the late 10's and 20's, he listened to opera, Caruso having won the hearts of most Americans at that time. Imagine that, a guy with a 6th grade education listening to opera, big band, crooners, and weirdly, immigrant ethnic radio programs. Of course, all the way through the early 60's the US saw itself as a welcoming melting pot, outside of the KKK and leftovers from the Know Nothing Party.

[@mimimatasar3699]

The "big bands" fabulous!
