1965 ...a great year for music. I am 8 months in the womb loving every minute of it!😅

[@jayrowe6473]

You were in your womb wistening to wecords? Seriously though, these videos bring back great memories.

[@nicholassands9903]

Wonderful videos, all of them are immensely insightful and enjoyable... thank you!!!

[@freewheelingideas]

You're very welcome!

@@freewheelingideas What a crap, when I was born 1948, there was no R&R or whatever, long before 1965 the world was swinging. I don't know whats behind these fake facts you are forwarding here. Money?

Please do August 1965❤

[@freewheelingideas]

Definitely will! 😁

Interesting little survey - but please note the singer of Downtown pronounced her first name Pe-TEW-la (emphasis on second syllable, not first).

[@freewheelingideas]

Thank you

This is when I came upon it all, as I had just gotten a transistor radio for Christmas, age 11. And so it began.

Detroit was the Paris of the Midwest.

Remembering my childhood here.

Great job! Minor quibble though, the My Fair Lady poster shown is from the Broadway and West End show with Julie Andrews. The movie starred Audrey Hepburn. Excellent Petula Clark info!

Thanks for the feedback!

'60s and '70s have to be the absolute peak of styles and creativity. The vast range of genres and styles we went through is absolutely eye watering. Today we're trapped in limited styles dictated by the rap straight jacket, today's ineffectual and dull r&b and the boy/girl bands. The types of music written then will never be repeated (eg the prog rock stuff or punk or even post punk) and I wonder if folks will ever yearn for the likes of Bowie, The Clash or the creativity of any number of acts from back then. God help us if Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran is the height of creativity going forwards (when AI will do the writing for maximum commercial effect). Sorry to be so jaundiced.

[@freewheelingideas]

I hear ya!

[@briangraham1024]

Very good points. Totally agree ... Rap is CRAP!!! 😂

[@DeepakKumar-lv4te]

@@briangraham1024 There's a few bits that I do take my hat off to (like who the hell am I ?) but it's just not a "play me again" thing. That says a lot.

I turned 5 years old in January 1965. By then Beatlemania had already hit Singapore (where I was born and still live) and my older brother had brought me to the cinema for A Hard Day’s Night. Music was always in the air - great music! Sandie Shaw, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Seekers, Georgie Fame …. the list goes on. Love these videos. Please keep them coming! Thanks!

On another note, I've always loved Petula Clark's "Downtown"! Sometimes when I'm in that section of my city, I find myself softly humming or singing the tune as I walk around window shopping. But, I gotta say that I find it pretty odd, the pronunciation of her name. I thought it was peh-TOO-la Clark not PET-u-la. I guess it's a Brit-thing. Kinda like how we American's say "SKEH-dule" (schedule), while they say "SHED-ule". 😅

[@freewheelingideas]

Yea it’s a great song for the optimistic types! Thanks for sharing!

[@robynsegg]

No prob! And, I'm also happy to learn that I was right about the "mystery person"! 🎸 😄@@freewheelingideas

[@stefanschutz5166]

Thank you from Amsterdam. In 1965 I was 18.

[@msongs]

those days featured an extremely wide range of musical styles and genres all mixed together. songs had to be short and catchy or they didnt make it

[@ntxmt]

These 60's videos are great. I was a teen age high school kid back then and remember it well. Shame it's deteriorated into the garbage that's out there now.

[@freewheelingideas]

Much more interesting and creative times.

[@waynej2608]

This was very entertaining. I love the music of that era. I finally made a trip to the U.K. several years ago and visited places like Carnaby St, Abbey Road, Bag O' Nails... A great trip! Ty for the vid. 👍

[@freewheelingideas]

That’s awesome and you’re very welcome 🙏

[@UBRLND-X]

Love these vids. Truly an amazing time in world culture and music. I was born in 1967but would have loved to have been a teen in the 60s to experience the amazing number of great musical acts as it continued to evolve and group by leaps and bounds. Keep up the good work with this channel!

[@freewheelingideas]

Wow thank you so much for the positive feedback 🙏 really appreciate it!
