I was 14 years old when the songs first came out man 1961 was a great year Such a great time to be alive man just heading to the beach looking at the babes and the surfing was always good for me man Southern California how I missed it all
I was 15 in 1961. Just think of all the fabulous music to come for me to enjoy in the remainder of the decade, including seeing Roy Orbison and Del Shannon live. Also most of the British sixties groups locally before they got really famous. DL. Staffordshire,UK.
The era of rock and roll during the years before the arrival of the beatles to the US was also great and I don't believe in that myth of the media that they call it the middle ages of rock and roll
GREAT TIME 1961 MUSIC WAS AWESOME 🎵🎵🎵🎵 AS TEENAGERS WE'D GO TO LOCAL CAFE 🍟🍔🍕 AND PLAY THESE FAB SONGS ON THE JUKEBOX📀💿📀 NOW IN 2018 I'M LISTENING TO THEM STILL 📻📻📻
Charles Westover (aka Del Shannon) lived right night door to a friends' house in Northridge, Ca. in the 1970's. What a fabulous falsetto voice that he had!!
I was president of the International Del Shannon Fan Club from 1965 to 1968, and I used to talk with him on the phone every two months for interviews for the club bulletins. He called me after I wrote him a fan letter in which I told him that I had copies of his Coke and Pepsi commercials - he did not even have those - and he asked me to run his fan club for him.
@@larsedik Wow, great story! I would see him, watching his teenage girls as they were hanging out in front of the house, along with other teenagers in the area. I said hello to him once, but I don't think that he heard me. I'm sure that you have some great memories, thanks for sharing.
This is my generation to man such Such a great time to be alive in Southern California Man the beach the babes and the surfing Was always good And the shadows of Vietnam Were right behind me But I would do it all again and change nothing I miss those days man
@@billywalkabout5076 You're right Billy. KRLA, KFWB, KHJ AM radio never sounded so good! Crusin' Whittier Blvd. to Bob's Big Boy. Those were the days. : )
Elvis had wonderful songs in that period. Not really rock 'n roll, but nice. Stuck On You. Good Luck Charm. My favorite was Little Sister. But before that Elvis was Elvis, in the late 1950s, with A Big Hunk o' Love, I Got Stung, Hard Headed Woman, Trouble, etc. Elvis Presley has no "best" song. He declined - in my opinion - after 1964 (Devil in Disguise was great).
I was forth teen when these songs came out laying here thinking man we had great music before the Beatles came here a bad time for American singers the teenagers went Beatle crazy and I was one of them but now I’m into this type music
We've all died of COVID-19 in 2020-21. There's no one left. Are you from 2018? Go back at once! The world is swarming with a virus that we can't control. Better go to the future, like a hundred years from now. But watch out for those little bugs. Don't breathe them in or they'll kill you like they did the Martians.
@@muide7 apparently we didn't get this notification earlier..we survived the tough moments tho' or still surviving...having a break with these songs...stay safe my friend!
It's hard to fathom that songs like "Aquarius" and "Crimson and Clover" are only eight years removed from "Heart and Soul" and "Pretty Little Angel Eyes". They could easily be a whole century apart, on style alone!
I remember the powerful Timi Yuro version of "Hurt" from back in the day. Liked the song but thought it was a bit short. So I wrote an extra verse and had a go myself. If you'd like to hear it. it's here: th-cam.com/video/z7JLJnvaq2s/w-d-xo.html DL Staffordshire, UK.
1960 to early 1964 were the years before the British invasion of American music. These were the last of the years of innocence in American music and popular culture. I am proud to be a member of that generation. In the early '60s, we had so many of our own good talent and really did not need the music of foreigners.
@aucourant. She had 2 big hits here in the U.S. "Hurt" July 1961 #4, and "What's A Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You)" July 1962 #12. I was born in 1959, so l heard these for the first time on an oldie show right here in Houston, Texas in 1974, and l bought them that summer at an oldie store. I was into oldies as l grew up.

If you see anybody out there today that is old, be sure to tell them all about how lucky they really are!!
I think we know that Greg. The music was great then.
Yes, we sure were lucky… and the happy music memories of our youth are in our heart even today!
So sweet and awesome 👏 music

The best music ever!!..,happy it was my generation!!
Great and wonderful music. I'm so proud and privileged to have had an upbringing during an age of such innocence...
You can’t beat the old ones
I was born in 1961 and have listened to this music ever since I've had ears.
Your lucky man to have enjoyed our music my friend! Never a time will our songs and feelings be repeated as they were back then!
GREAT TIME 1961 MUSIC WAS AWESOME 🎵🎵🎵🎵

That's cool. He was such an amazing singer, so sad he's gone.

That year I joined the Air Force, this music still sounds great today.
But really great beautiful music
Everyone can remember where they were and what they were doing, listening to these great records 😍
lol not everyone. I was born in 1993.
What a voice Timiteo Yuri had, I cant believe I only found her recently.
I agree with you 100%, WHAT A SET OF PIPES!!!!, it is amazing how some artists just fade into the sunset, never to be heard from again!!!!
this is my generation too,the best year,thanks

Best of Elvis' -- Marie's The Name.

Fantastic music it will go on forever ever nice piece of history thank you for sharing this video 👍🇺🇸
Timi Yuro - such bare emotion!
I was forth teen when these songs came out laying here thinking man we had great music before the Beatles came here a bad time for American singers the teenagers went Beatle crazy and I was one of them but now I’m into this type music
Thanks you for bringing back such good memories😊
Great music, great singers, fabulous cars, a wonderful time to grow up!
Timi Yuro.....Fantastic
This and 'What's The Matter, Baby?' are the best!
Quelle époque que des succès merci
Hermosas músicas inolvidables
School, left 1962 🎉met my husband 1963 Thats all folks😅❤
The best music of my age.
Nice vidio because remaind me when i was young I really enjoy all those songa thanks make more like this .
The last of the doowop music and original rocknroll the British invasion is around the corner
And it was a great era that had the influence of rock and roll from the 50's in addition to the innovations that occurred with spector, surfing, etc.
! like all of them
Shapulak I prefer Robert John lion sleeps tonight (1972)
👍Super
Who is here 2018

I’m still here on 2021 and still enjoying all the 60s music with my wife.

@@ronwildey lucky man!
sehr gut Musik früher
Clark gable actors. Born 1901 died 1961
it´s not my generation's music but ist good
I agree with you Jerry taylor
Contrast this with 1969, just 8 years later.
It's hard to fathom that songs like "Aquarius" and "Crimson and Clover" are only eight years removed from "Heart and Soul" and "Pretty Little Angel Eyes". They could easily be a whole century apart, on style alone!
I prefer music from the later 60s but there's a few songs here that I like. :)
The girl @ 5:39 singing "Hurt"- I well remember that year, but for the life of me cannot remember her at all.
That's Miss Timi Yuro who would have another smash hit with What's A Matter Baby
"until just recently"
Happy birthday
I'm hurt that I had never heard of Timi Yuro before today
Check out her 1962 follow up hit "What's A Matter Baby ( Is It Hurting You)" on
TH-cam. Lady had an incredible voice.
I have heard of her. She's not one of my favourites
Me too! Absolutely unreal voice. Just discovered her from this.
Me as well. I thought the pic was of Helen Shapiro

Classic
Elvis was a young hip persons wallie
This is before world went
Bat shit crazy.....

When I listen to these tunes so do the Neighbours
You should turn your loudspeakers a little lower.
Yeah, my neighbors listen to the same music I do also.

I am proud to be a member of that generation. In the early '60s, we had so many of our own good talent and really did not need the music of foreigners.
Wow, I always thought Timi Yuro was a black artist.
I never heard of Timi Yuro before. Maybe she never made it in the UK. What a great voice. Thanks for that. Was she big in the USA?
@aucourant. She had 2 big hits here in the U.S. "Hurt" July 1961 #4, and "What's A Matter Baby (Is It Hurting You)" July 1962 #12.

no Drifters, no Ray Charles, no Jackie Wilson. Murray the k would be pissed.
Why are the Jazz singers missing?
They were out back.
bailamos ?????
These songs held NO Hatred toward others nor enticed our young to USE DRUGS, etc. Not so today.
you spoiled it by playing elvis
Why??
Idiot! It was one of his lesser hits. I enjoyed Marie - even though it always brings tears to my eyes.
Ovo je najbolja zbirka pesama, sa početka 60-tih. 🤗🇷🇸N.S.🇷🇸🤗
