Muzak is an American brand of background music played in retail stores and other public establishments. The name has been in use since 1934, and has been owned by a division or subsidiary of another company ever since. In 1981, Westinghouse bought the company and ran it until selling it to the Fields Company of Chicago, publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times, on September 8, 1986. Formerly owned by Muzak Holdings, the brand was purchased in 2011 by Mood Media in a deal worth US$345 million. Muzak was based in various Seattle, Washington locations from 1986 to 1999, after which it moved its headquarters to South Carolina in 2000.
The word Muzak has been a registered trademark since December 21, 1954, of Muzak LLC, although it dominated the market for so many years that the term is often used (especially when used with lowercase spelling) as a generic term for all background music. The term Muzak is - at least in the United States - often used for most forms of background music, regardless of its source. It may also be referred to as "elevator music" or "lift music". Though Muzak Holdings was for many years the best-known supplier of background music, and is commonly associated with elevator music, the company itself did not supply music to elevators. Since 1997, Muzak has used original artists for its music, except on its Environmental channel.

The decade of my childhood. I wish I could turn the clock back!
The 1950's was the decade of my childhood, but I'll take the '70s instead of the decade we're presently in. Still waiting for that "way back machine" to be invented!
I'm going to drift off to sleep with this tonight and dream of my 70's childhood. 😊
I’m not gonna lie...when I was a kid, I could not stand this type music. I was into rock music! Now that I’ve aged and I’m also a musician.I can say that I can deeply appreciate this kind of music...as others have mentioned it brings me back to simpler times. It’s like I’m 6 years old again walking into K-mart and making a “Bee-line” towards the toy dept to check out the newest Hot Wheel models.
Same
I feel exactly the same way. I'm a musician as well.
Feel exactly the same. Except for me it was going to check out which Transformers were on the shelf at Pamida back in be 80s.
I forgot to mention when my mom was shopping at the department store, she would drop me off st the toy section and I would play there for hours. That section was also next to the TV and electronics section and towards the end of the evening a small crowd would gather in front of the large screen TV to watch a movie that was playing. I remember they were showing Superman from 1978.
@@Delisle4 Was there a section of fish tanks in the back of the store too? We first got to the store we would immediately go to the back and look at the fish
Imagine in 1970. 50 years in the future people will use technology to look 50 years into the past and wish for those times.
The weird thing about spending all my adolescent and teen years in the 70s, I never once remember looking back at the 1920s and pining for rag time or Cole Porter music. I remember oldies stations in the mid 70s playing "oldies" music, which was Chuck Berry, Elvis etc, and thinking that was ancient, and it was only 15 years before!!
Not me - far better now.
Can't think of one thing that's better now. @@jamesupton4996
Time travel is REAL! I'm in Mitchell's supermarket in the 1970's, green linoleum floors and noisy fluorescent lights, flipping through MAD Magazine while Mom gets the groceries. Not a cell phone in sight .... ahhh ....♥
I’m standing there too. Newest MAD Magazine, while she shops! When I got a bit older, I was a grocery clerk. Heard this all day. It seemed to cause folks to slow down, and buy more stuff. Not a bad plan!😂
I’m the one who always left the creases in the back cover to make the fold-in picture. 😎
@@Untouchable1932haha! Me too! Brilliant
@@Untouchable1932 Bless you! I'd usually get caught and scolded by an employee for doing so; yet, somedays, I'd be lucky and find one already folded in.
Lucky You....what's your Moms name?
we need this type of music in stores and on the radio
and in elevators too!
@@leoross5777😂😂😂😂
Can’t agree more!
I'd certainly spend much more time in the store!
If it will cut down on crazy behavior in the stores, then they can play anything they want.
The lack of muzak in stores is just as good of an explanation as anything else when it comes to "Why are people's behavior in public so bad now?"
It is always funny. Back in "Those Days", this type of music(muzak) seemed Corny , Boring, Dull and Squaresville.
You would NEVER catch yourself listening to this. As you become older. You begin to appreciate and long for this
and become thankful for youtubers who upload this and keep it alive. Thanks 4 the memories!
I remember my grandmother vacuuming the shag carpet with this music on the radio
This Muzak is better than anything they have out right now!
agreed
Yes, definitely!❤
they had this in elevators also
The irony is it's a musical safe space.
Born in 2005, but love this music so much... Thanks! ❤
No cell phones, no tables, no worries then. A fun time to be in and remember now.Easier times then with not much worries like now. A time and place gone and remembered by many.
Being outside. Socializing face to face. Running wild and free. That was what I call, 'Living'.
I feel like we're not even in the same world anymore and I'm not even kidding... How I long for the late sixties and 1970's,... It was colorful and people were individuals it was so much better in every way
Ahhhh....The 1970s. My favorite decade. I turned 21 in 1970. Great music, great cars, and great looking chicks! 😄
I was 10-19 in the 70s. You were an old guy who had to get a job. I got to do all the cool stuff and listen to all the cool 70s music!
So did I while you were still a little kid too young to enjoy what was going on during the best part of the '70s! LOL!! @@kbrewski1
@felixmadison5736
Whatever you say Felix Unger! Now go get your shinebox, you've got a spot on your black wingtips!
Go get a wet towel Brewski, and wipe the egg off your face! @@kbrewski1
Absolutely pointless argument.
Loved the CBS Special Presentation intro, a really nice touch! As a kid it told me Charlie Brown was coming up next!
Me too, that's exactly why it's there, Nostalgia ❣
Couldn’t be more glad that you included it! Cannot thank you enough for posting! The music is wonderful!
yes, so funny. i recognized it immediately and even remembered it was cbs!
Yeah, back then when you saw that logo, you knew you were in for a treat and your eyes would be glued to the TV and transported
Same here! I got excited when I saw, something good always came next ☺️
This is unbelievable. For those of a certain age, for whom this music was ubiquitous in our formative years, this video is like a psychic time capsule that is surprisingly powerful. We all hated the music, but that didn't stop it from being absorbed into our DNA. Thanks for this!
Well phrased.
so well said, I love the manner of expressing
So true. We used to call it "elevator music" or "dentist office music", but it played in malls, supermarkets, department stores and even was piped outdoors in public areas. It's weird to think about it now, but it was ubiquitous. "Into our DNA" is not hyperbole.
I think we'll be listening to this on our path to the next phase, after death 😁
yeh same here, I didnt care much for the music but reminds me of great memories with my family. Especially in department stores like K-Mart, Sears, JC Penney etc.
I can't get enough of this music. I'll put it on either while relaxing or doing the dishes in front of an open window.
I have ALWAYS liked this kind of music!
This Coke commercial is a favorite memory of my early childhood. (mid-70s baby)
I was born in 1970 and this music takes me back in time...oh to go back for just a day
I worked in the receiving department of a very large 3-floor bookstore from 1974-1978 and Muzak was the music du jour. There was actually a few of the tunes that I liked, listening to this to see if they pop up. It has always been my belief that music is the perfect time machine, one can instantly be transported to a time remembered by the music of that time.
This Muzak use to bore me in the 70s and now it brings back wonderful memories.
As a 70's kid I couldn't stand Musak. It brings back wonderful memories for me too. K-Mart, Woolworth's, Sears, the malls, super markets & department stores...I even remember the smells. 😊
Was this muzak? I always considered muzak to be hits by the Beatles or other pop group music hits. But done by orchestra
@@cornstar1253 I’m not sure I could be wrong.
Born in 1967. This makes me smile.
Back in Service Merchandise! I wanna stay forever!!
I was 19 years old, full of life and a very nice young man ,now I only wish I was healthy ,life's gone so fast 😢
This made me mourn for lost youth and country...oh, the optimism of days gone by! Now much sadness and loss...will we ever get back all we've lost?
Chuck Mangione and Herp Albert, always make me feel nostalgic...that time is gone😢
They're still alive and doing interesting things with themselves though...
So relaxing. Reminds me of being at the grocery store in the '70s.
I heard Metallica in the Grocery the other day People had class back in the day. When I go into any establishment and hear some obnoxious music, I always wonder where the owner is.
Also, on elevators, the dental office, and bar lounges in restaurants.🍸😎🌴
OMG I thought the exact same thing. I remember as a little kid growing up in California in the 70s my mom would drag me off to the local Alpha Beta grocery store and they played this music.
I was born in 1982, so never lived the 1970s but raised listening to such good music my parents used to play :) best days and memories ever, the world was much calmer
The world was much more dangerous back then .
@@elihubildad6677 talking specifically about how music was, and how world was before the technology we are living now and social media, way calmer back then
@@elihubildad6677I was there, it was much less insane.
Play it for your kids 😊 ▶️
70s were the best....☝️
Picnics, the beach, the pool, the park, backyard barbecues, the mall, drive-in movies, music stores, amusement parks, car trips, and just hangin' out. No electronic devices necessary.
Isn't it something that we can't seem to live without our devices these days? I'm 60 and I swear I want to throw my cell phone through a freakin wall sometimes. 🤪
Catching fire flies and playing badminton 🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺🌼🌺🌺
In a year I'll be 70 years young. Although I have Zappa, Todd Rundgren, Leon Russell and also Bring me the Horizon and Porcupine Tree in my cd collection, I am not ashamed to write I get chilled out for the full 100% listening to this Airport Muzak. Keep 'm coming.
All great choices!
Love the Budweiser ad at the end. Our culture was so rich (WAS so rich) that even throw away items like commercials were made to top notch standards. I so miss that culture where nearly everything made from rockets to houses to coffee jingles, were expertly made.
I remember those ads while watching NFL games.
Yes, back when quality actually ...well...mattered:)
not a single AI generated sound in the whole video. All live, human, trained, professional, musicians playing on 90% acoustic instruments here. Strings, reeds, chops, sticks, drumheads, wood, & cymbals. Maybe an oscillator in the organ, or a tube in the amps- that's about it. Probably went onto an 8 track analog 2 inch reel to reel, then copied or pressed into vinyl. A cast of thousands went into these productions- all good solid regular M/F-9/5, unionized middle class jobs with pay & benefits. These skills and the jobs they filled are all but lost. 😞 Thanks for posting this.
It literally slowed my heartbeat down and now I can breathe deeper
With the fake memories of the 70s lol
''It literally slowed my heartbeat down and now I can breathe deeper.'' "Put a pin on that" WHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.................................
I feel nostalgic about going back to the 1970s on a time machine.l’m so happy ❤❤😊😊
Remember me of my wonderful childhood even I'm born in 1980 in West-Berlin love it and miss my grandparents which I connect too with this music
Love the music and the comments. For me it brings me back to early 70’s shopping malls, the organ store, radio, watching shows like Rockford, Cannon and Mannix after school. Lots of space, boredom, free time for a shy kid to just absorb sights and sounds unlike today where everything is an assault on the senses. Also the commercials with a distinguished looking old chap touting the sound of Mantovani, Kostelanetz, Mystic Moods orchestra and other Easy listening tunes.
Born in ‘62, yes I grew up listening to Muzak in stores and in “elevators.” I learned when I was a teenager in the late 70s & early 80s that Muzak was a (marketing ploy) to get people to relax and spend more time “browsing/shopping longer” in Malls/stores. Especially designed for grocery stores…
Exactly. Aural drugs.
and now many of us long for those days when you had enough time and money to browse.
Well now the stores want to chase you out as quickly as possible if the music they play is any indication, because it's definitely not relaxing. 😂❤
@@kbrewski1 I can only imagine the amount of Valium people were using. Good times. Good times. ...
As a kid in the 70's I hated this, now I find it very relaxing. Thanks for sharing.
It was the best time ever to be alive.
As a 70's kid (born in 64') I have to agree with you. It was a great time to be alive and a great time to be young. As much as we looked forward to the future back then, THIS future can kick rocks.🙄
I was 15 in 1970. My best memories ever ! Including this music!
You know times have gotten BAD when people get nostalgic for Muzak! 😅
i know it's funny but i could listen to it for a while just like at times i like to listen to soft rock.
you're obviously a Zappa Fan GGM.. cool on that.. but it is so hack for people to moan and whine about "how bad things are at the present" - Chicken Little, the Sky is falling, the Sky is falling! Spouting gloom and doom is the default way people without courage or creativity garner attention.. you can do better. Times are ALWAYS hard - that is life Bruv.. show some fortitude and enjoy life regardless..
Likely they’re young and have never heard it; may sound less “elevator brainless” more relaxing to them (I was born 1981 myself)
LoL....
Things have gotten BAD when people make STUPID comments like yours.
Back when you felt safe being out of your home. Yesterday we went to a parade, and slightly wondered what I’d do if someone opened fire on the crowd. Those thoughts never would cross anyone’s mind back then 😢
That's because back then we didn't have the right wing gun loving NRA nutjobs making assault weapons made for war easily available to any dimwit with a pulse.
These are your thoughts 😂😂your inner world and has nothing to do with the outside world !
There's something about the energy of this music that most of what gets played on the radio lacks and this also reminds me of watching Taxi on tv at night when I was a kid in the early 1980s.
So true! Back then, the MELODY was important to composers, a real melody that touches the heart.
Watching Taxi late night as a kid in the early 80's! The opening music sends me back in time like no other piece of music. I didn't even understand the show that much. as a kid. But, that score! I'm glad there is somebody else in the universe that it has the same effect on.
@@theadjudicator7323 Agree. The difference between live musicians and machine. Can't compare.
Looks like paradise.
Glad I accidentally clicked. Summer Monday off to a nice start. 🤘🏾
I'd give this more than one like if I could. Some groovy stuff here man.
I was there and I lived it all. Thanks!
In the 1960s through the 1980s, we used to think that if mankind were to be wiped out in a dystopian future, that Muzak would still be playing.
Grocery store music going shopping with not a care in the world simpler times when things were cheap and affordable
So did Donald Fagen and Walter Becker....
@@kbrewski1I'm not a big Donald fagen fan, however one of my favorite albums is The Nightlfly. It has such a cool retro vibe.
@jctoad
Well if you like The Nightfly, how can you not like Gaucho, Aja, Katy Lied etc? Nightfly is the logical successor to Gaucho.
C’était une époque où il y avait beaucoup de divertissement pour la population.
Avant l’oisiveté devant l’ordinateur et l’obésité généralisée.
Des sourires et de la bienveillance illuminaient dans les cœurs des gens.
Très vrai, si seulement nous pouvions revenir en arrière.
I remember this music in K Mart, Sears etc as I tagged along with my mother shopping. @15.32, I can smell the chlorine and Hawain Tropic suntan lotion.
I was born in 1971. I wish I remembered more of this time than I do.
1973 here, I remember being a kid but I wish I would've been old enough to really live the era.
@@stufferwhite Well, not too much older. You didn't want to be deep into the jungles of Vietnam.
1967 here -- and I can most definitely relate!
'71 here also.......I remember quite a bit of the late 70's. I remember every damn bit of the awesome 80's though!💕
@@muziklvr7776 My father and uncle were. I wound up deep in Guam. 🤣
Coca-Cola. Wow, what a present. Clings to your fangs and leaves an aftertaste. Buy the world a Pepsi or an RC. Yeah! Now those are cool colas!
The young ladies at 13:35 look great. No tattoos or piercings or purple hair. They really help take away the bad taste of the Coca-Cola. :D
And then to see the Runaways at the beach at 52:48! Thanks for the view and the memories of great music!
No Pepsi. Weak.
Yes, I agree! Girls/Ladies/Women look WAAY BETTER w/out the "body art"(???). Don't even get me started...I'm also glad someone also commented on The Runaways! I couldn't tell if Lita was in the middle or on the extreme right.🤘🏻😎
Thanks for this. I was born in 1969 in Saigon so I would have no access to this type of music. But I recognize it from Sears and Goodwill stores in Seattle in the 80s.
Born 1963 spent time in the hospital 3 times before I was 11.... They used to pipe this music into the rooms....can't remember if they had t.v. but I used to just lay there in bed listening to the tunes..now at 61 I find it calming and listen to it while doing yardwork😊
There is definitely some magic stuffed in some of these hidden gems !!! 💎 thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for the nostalgia- I was born in 1959, and graduated HS in 1977, which is also the same year I entered Army basic training at Ft. Dix. I'm a brand new sub, and at the beginning of this video, my first memory flashed backed to the KMart blue light specials, when people would run through the stores to get them, lol.
The intro was good enough to get me right back to those days.
They had me at that too...shit. "Nostalgia: it's delicate, but potent." - Mad Men
Really? I almost clicked out of it until I gave it one more shot and skipped ahead.
That is one of the instrumentals from Hawaii Five-O Soundtrack. Morton Stevens - Call To Danger th-cam.com/video/sPh_qWbMB-0/w-d-xo.html
Great songs.
Ah, yes. That swingin' bossa nova beat at the Howard Johnson's pool. Good times.
Oh yes! Vacationing at the beach in the early 70's with my folks was grand! Motel just as shown on the postcard. Back then, you could afford to go for two weeks.
I don't know if "we" could afford it, but "we" sure did do it. Camping at Myrtle Beach. Car trips from the East Coast to the West Coast. Good stuff, drive 55 in 75. 1976 Disney World before they politcized everything.It's true you do remember the good times, forget a lot of the bad, but I was young and it was better. My mom's gone and my dad's headed there, but they gave us the greatest memories.
Myrtle Beach baby!
Great pictures
Bring me right back into my childhood. The "mall" music in France in the 70's was more progressive jazz and instrumental electronic oriented, but it is the same relaxing feeling. Thank you so much for sharing and cheers from Canada.
You had me right off the bat at the "CBS Special Presentation"... hadn't seen that in multiple decades & my brain was like 0_0 ... This type of music needs to be played in stores again... folks weren't rushed and rude like so many nowadays. Really miss those pleasant, bygone shopping times.
I literally thought the very same thing. I saw it and was like "oh boy, this is gonna be a good!!"
That was, if you didn't notice, a 16:9 remake of that bumper, though I don't know if this poster is the one who created it...
referring to "This type of music needs to be played in stores again..", first time I visited Japan had a rush of nostalgia come over me while shopping in a supermarket as they had 60's/70's muzak bumping on their speakers, and now years later its no different in Japan, some things are still frozen in an unexplainable space-time-continuum
Brings me right back to 5th grade and going into Jr. High. No cell phones, going to the show, hot summers, (no A/C) mowing lawns and part time jobs, helping dad around the house. Starting to notice those nice girls in bikini's at the pool... LOL!
Agree! 1000%
We grew up in the same town, Seth. lol
Just got back from trip to my hometown in UP Michigan...walked around the old neighborhood with girlfriend pointing out everything...she listened the whole time...
This could've been the soundtrack
☮️
Music was everywhere in the 1960s through 1980s, even if some of it was Muzak. When I was in sales, I used to drive by the Muzak factory in Albany, NY and wonder why they needed such a huge complex for canned music. With the draconian copyright laws now, we no longer hear music anywhere. Music playing everywhere is a big part of what society is missing right now. Even the radio is useless.
@Seththomas9105, the other nice things about those girls is the bikinis let your imagination do its job and NO TATTOOS.
Girls just look so much prettier without them.
Hehehe this is Nice. Listening to this, instantly made me feel better.
Born 69, so this brings back memories. Notable was how melodic music was then, whereas it's more rhythmic nowadays.
This MUZAK bore little resemblance to the great CREATIVE AND PROGRESSIVE MUSIC I was listening to from ages 10 to 20 in the 70s. Don't be fooled.
Early Chicago, Late Beatles, Wings, Steely Dan, then Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, King Crimson etc.
This was just on when my Mom was making me try on pants and shirts in some generic clothing store.
As someone who came of age in the 70s, this kind of music transported me into what I thought adulthood would be. It also reminds me of the music on my guilty pleasure Les Baxter station.
whom we have to thank for David Crosby
Les Baxter and Martin Denny! And TJB. I too thought my adult years would be like this but alas, time moved on. But at least we can pretend for a few hours....
@@cpkarkow663Yes😢
❤ if only someone is telling me every title of these all wonderful mesmerizing melodies, I would be so joyful and grateful.
These all reminds me of my childhood.
And the grass, the meadow, the grasshooppers, and the trees.
My late who used to play the tape recorders of intrumentalia music. Jazz included...
Watching TV series that here in Indonesia were something I used to wait every night. Until my dad asked me to go to bed.
I once had thet American Dream 😊
🇺🇸 was great with those music & tv series & movies.
Sadly, I doubt these high quality music would be around anytime soon.
But, these will be enough. Life is life.
The simplicty and happy, memorable days.
✨ 💫
This stuff takes me right back to the waiting room of my childhood dentist's office. That's not as terrible as it sounds. He was nice 😄
Boy do I miss my life
For me ...the BEST years ...the BEST heavenly music...i was born finally on 70s....1978... N exactly this year for music really was so clever n total practically Magic as this kind of music...😊from Spain ...very thanks a lot for posting..LOVE it as so much!!
I've had decades to think about this music. Now I know I LOVE it. Sorry Foghat.
52:46 Joan Jett, Lita Ford and the other Runaways!!!
Awesome compilation.
I put that there as an Easter Egg and it's cool that a handful of you guys caught it! 🎵🎶
@@stufferwhite So cool!
Are you taking about the surfboard pic? Looks photoshopped.
@@kbrewski1 I've seen other shots from the same photo session so I'd say it's legit.
This is hands down the best collection of muzak on TH-cam. Thank you. I was born in 1961 and have always loved muzak and easy listening. I've walked around grocery stores and department stores listening while store detectives kept an eye on me, thinking I was going to shoplift. You did a great job, Stuffer White. My respect!
Thank You! This has become an odd passion of mine. I love compiling these and discovering more of this music. ❣
There’s a lot of Brazilian music that these songs borrow from. I wish I knew stuff by name. I just sent this to my best friend, who’s from there.
@@twiggygerstenschlager8692 I wish I could post the track listing but doing so usually gets these videos blocked. If you email stuffer412@yahoo.com I'll be happy to include it in a return email.
@@stufferwhite I will tomorrow. Thanks!
@@twiggygerstenschlager8692
You might be thinking of João Gilberto and Stan Getz, who played the "Girl from Ipanema". The woman who did the vocals for their music died very recently. There was also "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass", which Muzak "covered" frequently.
This stuff is great.I think most musicians would admit there is much to learn from this music..ie: arrangements,instrumentation,
melody,harmony, modulation and on and on.Great stuff!🎶
As a musician myself I agree 100% 👍
I love this! Happy, 'neutral' music that lifts the spirit. Great background music.
I was born in 74 but remember very little before 79. This video really took me back to a forgotten place and time. From what I do remember, there were several soda, beer, snack food, and candy brands that no longer exist. Stores like TG&Y and Woolworth and KMart have disappeared. It's funny how we can attach emotions to such mundane things, to background imagery.
I was born in 1974 too and most of the 70s are fuzzy, but I remember hearing music like this in grocery stores and even airports. Emotions and music go hand and hand!
After '73, "the seventies" was pretty uniform. If you caught any of it, then you caught it all. It was all about massive comfort in colors, shapes, sizes, and feels. You had water beds and fully "tricked out" vans, Earth Shoes (maximum comfort), denim, leather...it was like, we're gonna cash out now and get it while it lasts.
Lmao, as someone who spent ALL my teen years in the 70s, this is NOTHING like the real actual 70s unless you grew up in a Ken and Barbie house.
This was a bit before my time (I'm a latchkey kid from the 80's) but I do remember many of these songs, usually encountered in grocery stores and elevators. Excellent video, thanks!
Wunnaful sights and sounds, thank you !! What a great time to be a kid.
Fotomat! Those were the days!
I remember this music and who ever put it in youtube thank you very much
That CBS Special intro has been powerful since the first time I heard it. Its like I was the only one who was getting to see whatever they were showing. Now nothing matters.
What a beautiful music!
This is very calming and gives me happy feelings when I listen to this.
Brings back so many memories
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks like they're here to stay. Oh I believe in yesterday. Paul had something there!
Stunningly beautiful audibly and visually ! Fantastic thank you
This was back when radio stations actually played really great music. Now, all the stations are talk shows, news, "singers" screaming at the top of their lungs etc. No great music no more. I miss them days when there were easy listening stations on the fm dial.
The pictures, the music remind me..............i lived those good times. How cool!
I was 10 in 1970, I think the United States was hard economically (although I wouldn't have known it). But the times were peaking socially, the music competition was fierce for airplay. Seems to me that sometime in the middle 1980's things started to unravel and we crossed too many red lines of societal morals and ethical behaviors. Today the guilt of society is if you can get away with it, then it's not illegal, well we have been living that for the past 3 decades now.
I agree, the 80s started a downfall of sorts. Daddy Bush-CIA-Cocaine scourge maybe?
I've always put it at 1990, as rap and grunge came on the scene, one a haven for violence, the other a haven for heroin. America started it's plunge down the toilet, and we're swimming in a cesspool now. It's an outright dystopia at this point, the media and the left wing responsible for most of it.
Yeah, I agree. There are no morals anymore, that's a big problem. Shoplifting is ok unless you go over the $1000 mark, corporations own our politicians. The homeless are free to set up camp anywhere, there's something definitely wrong with this country. If Watergate happened now, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
Growing up on Long Island in the 70's and 80's - there was a radio station that played "beautiful music" - WCTO-FM 94.3. My father listened to it - probably to soothe him to keep the Vietnam flashbacks at bay.
I enjoy this music. When I was a kid in the ‘70s, we had WLAK FM in Chicago that had a “beautiful music” format. I think the great majority of my friends would have thought I was weird to like Muzak or the like, but c’est la vie! I love all kinds of music and have been a musician for most of my life.
This music is better than a lot of the shit that is produced now.
Love & greetings from Squaresville! May your days be excellent & shaggin!😎
Buffet & Milk Bar sounds really good right about now.
une autre époque , bien loin de celle d'aujourd'hui , une époque joyeuse et insouciante
Love it, great video with cool pics ❤ Thanks for sharing 🙏
Oh yeah! I remember going shopping at the grocery store or the health clinic in the 70's and inside these places they had this soft instrumental music
that we could listen.
I don't see these anymore!
I want this music back in stores! Even in Goodwill
Listen to this brought back so many good memories! Missed the 70's!
Elevator music. Waiting room. On hold. Grocery store.
