@InfiniteMushroom why you gotta bring race into this just enjoy the musical weather reports smh

[@thoseoldphonos5722]

@InfiniteMushroom Couldn't agree with you, more. The 1950s was a time of prosperity and enrichment for humankind, and there's nothing racist about saying that it was the white man that had brought these great times about. The truth is rarely ever spoken. It often seems that the simplicity of a clean, working society of class is lost to people, to the point where we've all given up on trying to bring them back simply because most have forgotten. We are all animals, yes, but only in the 1950s had we truly achieved the greatness and purity that humankind deserves, now, more than ever. I say that we all think, far far too much, and we all need to get together and find the core of happiness as we had found in the times after WW2. I am only 18, and I understand. We could always spread word to those who're uninformed, and maybe bring times of purity back? Possibly too far gone, eh? Let me know if I'm off-topic, or just blabbering. As for now, we should just enjoy the music from a long lost era. :)

And the lounge in the photo was on a jumbo jet, back when airline fares were regulated, and much higher than they are now. Airlines couldn't compete on price, so they had to compete on quality of service: the most comfortable seats, best meals, most attentive staff, onboard lounges, most frequent service. When fares were deregulated, it started a race to the bottom, as airlines cut their fares, but made up for it by shrinking seats (though people today are much bigger), and charging for even the most basic things, like baggage, carry-ons, and seat selection. Result: widespread air-rage, and drunken misbehaviour from people who should never have been allowed to board in their condition.

We had a Woolworth's in old downtown Granite City.. we always called it the dime store.. not sure why.... It was such a neat store... with the dinner.. and counter. I always loved eating there as a kid, in the 70's and 80's. Things started changing in the mid 80's. I think in the late 80's it closed... not long after they tore it down.. today its a parking lot. Across the street was the old Washington Theater, as a kid I remember it being so big and grand on the inside. I vaguely remember seeing the original Superman, Jaws, Grease, and probably other early movies there... sadly it too closed in the early 80's.. and buy the late 80's was torn down and turned into a bus station. I wish I had a time machine and I could go back and visit those place one more time

They'd bring you the malt in a glass plus the metal cup from the mixer for what didn't fit in the glass. I'd always get a chocolate malt and an order of fries at the counter.

Yes, that right, they used to have lounges in 2nd class back in the day. Vividly remember the strange illuminated display case in back of the bar, with carefully mounted sea shells. It was in the very back of the plane. Very cool feature. Our family made the trip in June of 1970. The 747 "Jumbo Jet" had just come out, with lots of hype and fanfare. I was SUPER stoked to be riding in a 747. JFK to SFO, later went to LA where i got to go to Disneyland. Flew back via TWA, also a 747. Such an epic trip.

That's what we boys all over the world have in common: having to wait while our mothers were chitchatting with the lady next door for felt an hour or two.

The lights went green before I could smile and do a little jiggly dance in my seat, which I was grateful for, as things started to get clammy quite quickly.

What LOWLIFES!!!!

[@kmmk292929]

The flute is masterful on that first song

[@patrickrogers9499]

Takes me back to sitting in either a Steak & Ale Restaurant or walking through one of the old now defunct department stores of yesterday . Glad I was there to live it on the first go around ! An absolute joy to listen to the again !

[@PIANOCENTRIC]

What a time it was! Easy listening music - a treat to the ears! Simpler classier times ... ❤

[@socialisolation370]

i was in this old outdated las vegas casino in nineteen eighty-three and this is the kind of music they played

[@Kevin_Carlson]

Take me there!

[@VictorianMaid99]

Just like when I was a child. I am glad we have these recordings stored.

[@thedisneyblog]

13:12 is a real classic. I know Disneyland and EPCOT used this a lot.

[@snivyyoshiko1878]

the peoplemover!

Awesome! Same for 1:35:33

[@Karlitagallo]

The theme called November transports me to the time of the jetset, it comes to mind flying on airlines like Varig, United, Luftansa, Air Frande KLM to name a few, but imagining that wonderful time very vividly.😊✈

[@lenkazdraviciv-4896]

So relaxing and enchanting, idk if ive ever found such beautifull music playlist before.

[@Cali-Kelli]

One of my faves for sure!

[@RaineStudio]

Obviously a radio/TV production library with titles like these.

[@petercole8798]

60s music at its best. I was in elementary school and everything was free. NOWWW THINGS HAVE CHANGED 🙈🙈🙈.

[@3075bridget]

Me, too. It’s weird seeing what’s become of the world. It’s gotten so much harder and more heartless.

[@dquinn8344]

By the mid 60s they were putting an end to this and they are continously trying to eliminate normalcy to this day...

[@lynneurbanik8703]

Now things just changed for the WORST, not all change is good.

13:12 - Yep, that song... 1989: Not that song! 2019: Yes that song!

[@teelurizzo8542]

Thanks fro sharing, First track 'Action People #9'' is a quintessential example of 'TV Music', circa 1971, love the chord changes, melody, groove and instrumentation. A total vibe and mood, really like time traveling to 50 years ago.

[@BantiarnaMacRaghnaill]

I love this! It makes me want to put on an apron, mix up a martini and clean my house til it sparkles! Haha! Just kidding about the cleaning part...

I'll provide the martinis and the Valium to anybody who would like to clean my house.

[@thomasjefferson3506]

Love the sound of that Rhodes piano! I would love to be able to go back in time and experience this again--the times, the sounds, the colors, the fashions, the styles. Although I could do without the stench of smoke everywhere. But other than that.

[@MarkTaylor-wl9dp]

big fan since the early 90s of the Library music genre and soundtrack music from the 60s & 70s period from Europe, North & South America. Mark GV - Reference Point

Feeling like I just fell through a wormhole into 1974... this sound is what you heard in elevators....in stores... bring it back, I say.

[@mrcastle338]

9:18 Used at Disneyland in Tomorrowland on the Monorail probably in the Late '60s early '70s

[@goodolgranite8247]

It was used on the old Peoplemover system at the Anaheim park.

[@PneumatinisPlaktukas15]

Listen to "Walks of Life" from "Then & Now / Here & There" :)

[@venomdust1]

Opening theme to your own tv show . “ staring … (your name ) with ( ) as office co worker”. Just keep naming people you know.

[@ThomasCorfield-r4n]

For many of you, like me: the term for nostalgia for an era that someone wasn't brought up in is often referred to as "anemoia", which was coined by John Koenig in his Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and it refers to the feeling of nostalgia for a time you've never experienced. Perhaps we are anemoiacs.

[@Karlitagallo]

It could be that yes

Loving this Muzak as I upholster Mid Century Modern furniture and so much more ,also takes me back to The people mover at Disneyland .

A more innocent, romantic and hopeful time. Soft, sentimental, but what is wrong with that? All is aggression today.

[@kbobdonahue1966]

Nothing. We need alot more of this.

[@juancarlos-ct5cf]

In 1960 the world population was only 3 billion people and in the USA the population was only 180 million people, today the world is overpopulated and the scarcity of resources and jobs means that there is a lot of aggression and hatred between people.

[@happierabroad]

@@juancarlos-ct5cf I'm skeptical about the overpopulation thing. every couple we know has between 0 and 2 children, so how could the population be doubling? that makes no sense.

This photo and the music reminds me of the glorious days of flying on those huge monster Jets that had sitting rooms and bars like above. It was a glorious and exciting time to live. You always dressed your best, even as a kid, you wore a suit if you were a guy. There was absolutely NO STRESS anywhere you went. Music and people were relaxed and seemed happy.

[@hudsony777]

What are you on?

[@QC46191]

@@hudsony777 Nostalgia. It's a powerful drug. Like, the amount of domestic abuse in the 70s was off the charts. And if you weren't white, good luck trying to even walk through a K-Mart without triggering mass paranoia. Not saying that there weren't some nice things about the 70s -- I remember playing hide and seek all summer with the neighborhood kids until very, very late...the idea that we could get hurt or worse never even crossed our minds, or our parents. But as a society, we are much, much, MUCH better now than we were back then.

[@stewartwatson9490]

This memorable music reminds me of if you could visit grace brothers department store on are you being served BBC series from 1972- 1983

Stepford Wives music, all designed to get you in the mood to spend, spend, spend. The shops knew what they were doing and it worked. I love it to bits!

[@johndough23]

here give me your hand, stay with mommy and nobody strays from me. Yes that is very nice crystal now lets go" A typical visit to the May Company as a kid of the 60s growing up in SoCal. This music was filling the background of the lesson being applied by Mom.

Four of these tracks were on the music soundtrack during the Disneyland Peoplemover ride. If you search KZbin for one of the live filmed trips on that ride, you’ll hear the ride’s narration and background music.

I find this music is much more enjoyable than today's mainstream music. Now I'm kinda wondering if there is a relaxing jazzy music that would be played in restaurants. It seems that kind of music had zylophone in every song. Kinda miss that kind of music. ❤
