[@sandycee89]

Back in ‘63 it was only AM Mono radio and black & white TV. (Only 3 stations. No cable.). These incredible sounds of the 60s filled our hearts minds and soul of Baby Boomers. Despite the weak language and fabulous lyrics somehow we passed those crushing Regents and SAT exams. Now, 60 yrs later, we can reflect with a sigh these tunes of a lifetime.

[@brucewalker5890]

What a year, my last year of high school. Our 60 year school reunion is later this year. Thanks Sonny for putting these collections together. I know the Brits dominated world music in the sixties but the US stuff was equally good. I suspect the sixties was the greatest decade for pop and dance music, just hundreds of tunes and cover bands playing church halls, synagogues and the like every weekend. What a fabulous time to grow up in. How lucky I have been to live through this. Fortunately missing out on Vietnam unlike so many contemporaries - medically unfit for service.

[@terrieseverson6346]

One thing I find interesting is long lasting artists , like Steve Lawrence , had much better quality voices than what was captured in the sound studios in the early sixties. With todays fancier sound effects and systems any person with a fairly decent voice can sound great then they sing live and it’s a nightmare. Love the fifties and sixties when you could hear singers use their natural voice and the buying public then decided who they liked or didn’t.

[@potdog1000]

i agree with the exception of Miley, her voice & the way she leans back on the vocals is heaven sent, or in other words a throw back that relied on talent only

Please, Please Me, From Me to You, She Loves You and I Want to Hold Your Hand were all released in 1963. Are you using charts that say these Beatles songs only reached No 2?
