History of Rock & Roll - The 1960s (Pt. 1)

[@lukejones0826]

It’s tradition to rewatch this series every couple of years

[@BackDownSouth]

Hey Dude...I am a High School Teacher and one of my classes is "History of Pop Music and Culture". I shared part 1 of the 60s with my students today and they loved it. I was comprehensive but fun. We will check out part 2 next week. Thanks....I would love the 70s and 80s. That would be great....Your coverage and humor kept their attention...Thanks so very much....Rob

[@catdaddy3302]

That’s cool that your school offers such classes. Maybe you can get your kids to major in American or Southern Studies and focus on the music.

[@andysandoval4572]

I think the 60's rocked the hardest of all the decades of rock. "The 60's was the Renaissance of Rock," JT Curtis. Yes!!!!!!

[@NHL633]

Glad to see you gave Roy Orbison at least some of the credit he is due. He was quite possibly the single most talented performer from the era. I was privileged to have seen him perform live not once but twice. Amazing talent.

[@2112jonr]

I'll never comprehend how one tiny island produces such an incredibly diverse array of talent. Unfathomable.

[@2degucitas]

Post war economic hardships, a massive baby boom, teenagers itching to get more from life, Liverpool being a port city there were imports of musical instruments to be had easily. The rise of American rock n roll youth culture influenced many a young band. Just the right ingredients and BOOM.

[@acsoccerlunch]

The first 3 history of rock videos (directed by Jay) are the best in my opinion. Not to discredit the others, they’re all amazing and deserve to be documentaries on national television, but being that Jay was a writer, he knew. He just knew.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It's true. He just had that magic director's touch. It's also very hard to direct and act at the same time as I ended up doing from the 1970s on.

[@chrisbrill4508]

I was a teenager (from 1963 to 1969) and must say..... Jay, your video is brilliant !!! I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and started playing drums 2 months later... I saw the Beatles live in Detroit in 64 (couldn't hear a damn note, though)... You've captured the era perfectly! Well done, my Friend !!! ☺♪♪♪♪♪☺

[@sjschultz]

Chris, I had to write something to you here. I was a teenager from 1963-1969 too. An odd coincidence. I saw the Beatles on Ed Sulivan too but never saw them live though as you did though I guess the screaming ruined it anyway. The other weird coincidence: I took up drums too and played them in a Beatles act for an 8th-grade graduation party with Beatles wigs! I wish I had a picture of that!

[@sensoryoverload6809]

I’m jealous you got to see the greatest band of all time while they were still together

[@KonstanzArrens]

The Sixties had it all, progression into more complex melodies and lyrics (the rise of the singer-songwriters), and a descent into bloated, self-indulgent excesses. Mr Curtis knows his stuff. :)

[@sandysexton6570]

This was so good I watched it twice in one day. This is rare! The 1950s show was really good, too. When I see 7 dislikes, I wonder why.

[@jaustill237]

While it's still solid video, there are a few misstatements. For instance, the death of Kennedy can't 'overshadow' the early 60s music, it happened at the end of 63 and marks the shift away from that to the darker more cynical mid 60s music. The Rolling Stones song 'Sympathy for the Devil" is definitely not about devil worship, but rather References the book The Master and Margarita, which is about Satan being able to move into Soviet Russia and act freely after they banned religion (quite the opposite). I don't think one misstep is worth a down vote, but apparently others do.

[@obxrad]

My first memory is the night of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. My mom was early 20s and thought Paul was cute lol. Her excitement was what made the night memorable. I remember really liking George and I still play guitar almost everyday.

[@linjoy9627]

I enjoyed this. Look forward to part 2. I was too young for the 60's but my 3 older brothers who are 7,8 and 9 years older than I am, weren't. The oldest loved the Beatles and had all their music. I remember being off school sick and sneaking into the brothers bedroom and playing all their music and singing badly out of tune along! Bless them I never got into trouble for scratching all their vinyl records, but they did occasionally use me as target practice, instead of the dartboard they had!. I was still too young when Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin , Cream, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd came along. Then came Glam Rock with Marc Bolan's T.Rex and David Bowie and I was still too young I think I may have been around 12 years old. By the time I was considered an adult and ready to enjoy music, sadly came the Punk era, the less said about them the better. I felt so cheated as I wanted the same enjoyment from music that all these 60's bands had generated. I can even now relate more to listening to Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Oh, and the least said about disco the better!

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I love your comment. You may have missed those decades of great music. However they all are available for you to discover and enjoy. I grew up starting to enjoy music at the beginning of the 1960s and saw and saw 100 huge music acts live starting 1975 to a few years ago. Still have my 1,000 music cassettes, 100 45s, 500 LPS, 2,000 music CDs I was MR Music among my friends I loved it so much and still am. I do still like hearing new artists of many genres. Rock and roll is my favourite however many types of great music. There is no one best. It is all up to you in the moment what you decide. As music depends on what mood you are in or what you want in the moment. I just love music and there are thousands of great bands from 1960 to today that I like.

[@chrisrj9871]

We did have a _few_ songs from 1959-1960 that sounded like some pre-60s stuff. Cathy's Clown / Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop / Money (that's what I want) / Wonderful World and anything by the often-overlooked Johnny Kidd & the Pirates :) 1961 gave us Runaway by Del Shannon with possibly the first 60s synth hook? Also Travelin' Man '62 = Let's Dance / Green Onions / Sealed with a Kiss / and the first release of Love Me Do by The Beatles before they took off in America. So the 60s wasn't completely a bore when it began. It just got way way better near the end.

[@pasqual4943]

Dun fact, doo wop was music style number 1 in music styles in The 50s and Roy Orbison started his career in the 50s with the rockabilly style with songs like go,go,go.

[@Spacebeagle]

I started listening to rock music when Del Shannon came on the scene and I was hooked. I loved the dance songs, the Beatles, Shirelles and others. In 1966 yhe Army put a hold through 1968 on music but I caught up and stayed through the 1990s. Great looking and listening to your video. Keep rockin'! (⚾ still exists)

[@fredriksasaa6969]

the brits really changed rock n roll in the 60s- the who, the animales, led zeppelin ,pink floyd, the beatles, rolling stones, david bowie, elton john, the klinks. these are just the 60s band. and in the 70s, and other british bands like iron maiden, def lepperd, genesis, the police, queen etc bless UK for their help

[@dennispepperack2973]

They basically reintroduced us Yanks to the R&B from here...

[@GoldAmple]

Elton John and David Bowie were more 70s

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

Yes but I’m opinion I don’t think they were necessary to the development of the genre. Again, so much blues rock just reintroduced blues that was already here, listening to people like Fred McDowell who were already recorded due to the folk revival and not British interest in blues. The rhythms and doo wop and soul in the 50s - 60s had heavy Afro Cuban influence eg. “Louie Louie” being a recreation of a Cuban song, and The Rolling Stones Satisfaction using a cha cha beat in its drum line. These rhythms made their way into Black popular music via big American cities like Detroit, New York, Chicago, LA. Listening to any 60s garage rock points heavily towards the fact that Americans would continue carrying the torch of authentic, young wild rock and roll.

[@MrBarrynicholas]

The names of the Bands alone signal a turning point. So much attitude in not just being “The Robins” or “The Swallows”. A band with the name THE ANIMALS gets straight to the point. The cleverness of the Beatles name gives a hint as to the amazing songwriting that would come, The Kinks and their intentionally provocative name. I could go on…..

[@waukivorycopse2402]

Yep, Del is strangely dismissed considering he was always mentioned by Lennon/McCartney as an influence, the first US artist to have a hit with a Beatle song, was produced by A L Oldham, wrote 90% of his own songs, basically invented minor chord rock n roll, had the first synthesizer on a rock record and had 16 top forty hits in 5 years.

It’s easy to write of The Beach Boys as a simple surf band that re made songs they liked but if you listen to pet sounds you can tell their much more. Paul McCarthy even realized it and said that God Only Knows was his favorite song then the album also inspired the Beatles to write Sargent Pepper meaning without The Beach Boys we may have never had the psychedelic era of movement

Thing is, the Monkees tried to break away from their manufactured image from the get go. They finally did with Headquarters, playing all their own instruments. The record label only let them do that after they threatened to quit. The band made fun of their manufactured image in their trippy movie, Head (produced in part by Jack Nicholson). I like your videos JT, especially the humour, I am a fan of yours.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Fair enough, but like I said from the beginning: There's a lot of music to cover (ESPECIALLY in the 60s) and not enough time to give every artist or band their due. The Monkees had the misfortune of coming out in the most prolific period of music ever. I haven't even gotten to Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Cream, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Santana, David Bowie, Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper, Woodstock, etc. I stand by my original statement: The Monkees had some good tunes, but they WERE a manufactured product to cash in on the Fab Four's popularity. Even HEADQUARTERS, HEAD, while nice albums, sound like products of the time. If you like em, cool, but they're not going to get mentioned when I've got so many other classic albums to cover in this time.

[@neilforbes416]

Ain't Too Proud To Beg(Norman Whitfield/Eddie Holland) issued on Gordy label, release date: 3rd May, 1966(recorded about March or April, 1966) Detail gained from 3-LP set "Temptations Anthology" issued on Motown as M-782A3 in 1973 as a 10th Anniversary compilation. The Temptations only appeared on Motown in 1968 when they partnered Diana Ross & The Supremes on "The Rhythm Of Life" and later "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me". Outside those singles, the Temptations were ALWAYS on the Gordy label. The 10th Anniversary Anthology release being on Motown doesn't count because it IS a compilation rather than a studio album like "Psychedelic Shack", "Puzzle People" or "Cloud 9".
