A naturalized US citizen in 1961, I am truly grateful for these timelines of my youth!
I turned 16 in December of 1964, and thus began my life-long affair with cool cars. This video brought back lots of memories!
FINALLY! To the year I was born into.... 🍷
I was born in 1964
This is a photo of me when I was young. I love the 70s they were good times🤗
Absolutely.. 😊 I was 6 this year & only unfortunately remember stumbling around in a fog 😂.. I do remember feeling very strange the previous year while in kindergarten & the way my parents were acting when I got home at noon. Kindergarten being a half of day! I barely remember seeing the funeral on tv & being told to sit down and get a seat. I just remember the weird quietness of it all as I was excited & wanted to share my experience with my folks about this weird thing called school! The 64 Mustang is something I guarantee you a million folks that had the money to purchase them, wish they had bought 100 & put up in mint condition. Imagine the cost of seeing Brand New Mint 64’s in a garage with less than 100 miles on them today! I don’t think I ever even saw one until my Freshman Year of High School. I can’t remember anything about the Noble Prize of Mr MLK. but do fogly remember the deaths of MLK & R Kennedy, a few very short years later I think! The Beetles I only came to know as I probably got into later years of Grade School - 7th 8th Grade. From the perspective of a 1st Grader in 1964... it’s sort of a brand new world of just a zombie more or less of learning, day to Day! The Schwin Bikes Oh.. I certainly remember & I got a Brand New One sometime within these very short years, maybe even in 64. I have no clue.. as it’s a fog of memory timeline at least in my mind being b. in 1958
You were a beautiful child Bianca! I was so scared of girls 😂 It even followed me throughout my high school years. I was very Shy & Backwards, never drawing attention to myself! How time does fly in our short seemed lives as we know it. I myself wondering where certain decades went as I turned 63 this past July! But we all should give thanks if we are healthy or even if not, that we are still here, every day on earth! God Bless All & Please Stay Safe! We are living in Times that are changing! Dramatically Changing! The 70’s to me were my best memories of life- Graduate of Class 1976! 💖💕
@@johnnylapsick6826 One thing I remember is having the day off from school and the somber mood watching that long death train and identifying with little John John in his shorts saluting his farewell like the little brother I never had.
One of my favorite years! Beatles came to America when I was just 17! And it was the year I met my future husband and in 1984 he gave me a 1964 Mustang that he bought from the original owner.
I was 9 when they performed on the Ed Sullivan show and I was glued to the TV set sitting really close and screaming. Lol
I remember that year very well.
One of my best memories was receiving a Brand New Schwinn Sting-Ray Bicycle for Christmas.
Me and my friends would explore all over the place on our bicycles.
We would pack a lunch in a brown bag and leave early in the morning and not be seen until the Street Lights came on in the evenings...
Yes that was life . In those times ccm. For me ... 3 speed banana. Seat city cousin oh well. We lose. Time wins..... old man time wins. L.o.l
I had a Schwinn, and carried on similar to that about ten years later. A pretty good era!
Ah, yes I remember, I was always jealous of those schwinn bicycles, my japan made Royse union would always break down!!!
And we all in this Era can still smell the smoke in our minds of them dual cap guns. I would get extra rolls & take a hammer to em! 😊 Pow 💥 LoL
Yes... Capt Kangaroo was hired by them to do the Commercial Advertising them! I have the actual photo somewhere. There he was on tv several months before Christmas 🎄 1st One was a Schwinn Stingray. He posed with the yellow one but they came in blue, & green also. They also made the same for girls with no bar, with tassels. All of em had the handle grips with the gold flakes embedded in the rubber. Very Cool 😎😊
Also in 1964… Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C starring Jim Nabors and Frank Sutton debuted on CBS. It’s one of the spin-offs of The Andy Griffith Show.
I have a tv guide from the day I was born in March Andy, Barney, and Gomer are the cover, the story announced the upcoming new show called Gomer Pyle USMC.
I still watch it!
@@loveandfaith6517 i have the DVDS
@@nic4863 wow! that's great!
gee you are a fuckin genius
Surprised the New York’s World’s Fair wasn’t mentioned.
My exact thoughts. Such an important event with tens of million attendees.
I was born on May 6, 1964. I've lived in good times.
I'll never forget the night we drove home in dad's new 1966 Mustang from Town & Country Ford in Reseda, California. Those were the best of better days.
Great days growing up in the valley back then, I remember Town & Country. Wouldn't recognize Grenada Hills these days but yes we grew up in best of best days in SF Valley
@@jebronlames7789 It's an absolute shame what's happened to L.A. especially the Valley. I started high school at Monroe in 1974 and we had no worries.
My birth year! Mustangs will always hold a place in my heart. Over the years I owned a 1970, a 1980, and a 1988 starting when I was a teen-ager. And I wish I had at least a dollar for every time I have seen Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer since I was a child.
My first real boyfriend drove us to our senior prom in his Dad’s powder blue Mustang. That was in 1969 and I’m sure that was one of the first Mustangs made.
Same here. Born in 64. Owned a 66 and an 89.
My neighbors bought 2.
I was 9 years old then and remember it all vividly. Unfortunately, half the time I can't remember what I did yesterday.
That does seem to be a small problem. Me too
I’m sorry how old are you..?
@@dearest.8221 If your referin' to me, I'm 67.
@@chaosdemonwolf1 Sorry, I was just curious since based on your profile I’d say you were 19 or younger
@@dearest.8221 19 or younger? I bloody wish. And what did my profile give ya that idea?
The Beatles landed in the US on my birthday. They didn't stop by for cake though. I forgave em. I figured they were busy and we only had so much to go around anyway. 🎂 Probably a good thing they didn't show up. And I was a Maryanne guy but always had a thing for Samantha.
When the narrator mentions " Gilligan's Island", he says "excaped", LOL!
Hello from England
Bewitched did originally air on British TV in the 60's and repeated in the 70's when i remember watching it on the BBC . I loved it as a kid
If only I could go back in time and relive it all over again.
This is the year I was born 1964 🤗
A lot happened during my fifth year on Earth.
I fell in love with The Beatles and The Mustang that year. Also, it was my last year of staying home with my Mom while my older brothers were in school.
What about the Oscar Hattie McDaniels won for gone with the Wind?
@@model-man7802 Hattie McDaniels won for Best Supporting Actress and was the first AA to win an Oscar. Sidney Portier was the first AA to win Best Actor.
Commemorating the 60th anniversary of a remarkable year! Just a side note: My mom graduated high school in '64! Love you Mom!!♥
The year of my birth!!!!! Also the only year in US history where there was not a sitting vice president, courtesy of 11/22/63.
On 12/11,We say so long to Singer,Songwriter,Sam Cooke.
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for what you do!
On 9/22 of that year,The Man from U.N.C.L.E debut on NBC Primetime.
I was born in 64. A great year!
Ah yes!! The year of the debut of the Ford Mustang! I was fourteen years old and had just finished my first year of High School. Along with so many other memories what a fantastic time it was with so many possibilities! Seems so long ago now, life is past before you know it!
I wish the video had mentioned the opening of the 1964-65 New York World's Fair in Queens, NY. At the time, it was enough of an event that my elementary-school teacher had my class discussing it. I loved going to the Fair. The beautifully landscaped grounds and the exhibits. We kids got to see Michelangelo's Pieta, on temporary loan. There was also a demo of an attempt at commercial thermonuclear fusion, which was pitched to us as something that would happen soon.
I was Born 4/8/64
Life was never the same after that Sunday evening, Feb. 9th 1964, when 70 million people tuned into The Ed Sullivan Show.
I was born on June 18th, 1964.......Paul McCartney's birthday too.......MAN! 64 was a phenomenal year!! I never knew so many "firsts".....Bewitched and Gilligan's Island were some of my favorite shows.....I knew about Rudolph though.....and Dr King's nobel prize!! I didn't know that one.....Boy, haven't there been some changes?.....smh
You missed the New York Worlds Fair at Flushing Meadows Queens. I got my first ride in a Ford Mustang convertible on the Ford Magic Skyway. That was a big deal for a 14 year old kid from Jersey.
The full chant was, “Hell no, we won’t go”. I know this is a family channel but you can’t whitewash that chant.
Thank you.
I certainly do agree. ✌️
Such a great year in my memories. I was six living in Riverdale Maryland. Time goes by so quick it’s almost like a blink .
Living in Riverdale, did you know Archie, Jughead and the girls?
@@riverraisin1 they were there but I didn’t know them personally, it was a click 🤣
@@cheaplaughkennedy2318 Yeah. I always thought they were kinda snooty. What with their parties and music and dancing and being in a band and all that....😉
The film version of My Fair Lady was also released in 1964. Like Mary Poppins, it won several Academy Awards including Best Actor Rex Harrison. The stage version of Hello, Dolly! premiered on Broadway, with Tony Award winning Carol Channing as Best Actress.
I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. So much that is both memorable and historic occurred in 1964 that it is not possible to mention it all in a short video recollection.
I was eleven in 1964.
It is worthy to note that U.S. military had maintained a small presence in Vietnam (IndoChina) since the French pulled out in 1954; but at the end of 1963 there were only about 30 fatal casualties. When the U.S. pulled out of South Vietnam at end of 1972, the fatality count had risen to 58,000.
On 10/3 of that year,UNDERDOG debuts on NBC saturday morning.
Finally the year I was born.
I remember the '60s and '70s when ABC had the coolest shows!
I was 16 in 1964 and began driving. Also: When "Bonanza" started its' 6th season in September 1964, Parnell Roberts, who had been cast as Adam Cartwright, was no longer featured. He was to make a brief appearance on the show a few years later. Otherwise, he didn't return to "Bonanza".
love the videos from uk granny thankyou
I Love these ❤️TY!
I graduated from high school in June 1964, got a job and married all in the month of June. The Mustang was the coolest car ever. It was a busy year.
I had a 64 1/2 Ford Mustang..it actually said that on the title.
Love watching your channel. Do a video about your home and about the time period when you grew up 👍 Just a though🤔
The year I was born : )
2:40 Seeing coverage of the Anchorage quake...In a San Francisco newspaper is almost surreal.
This is the best video I've ever seen on my birth year! Thanks!!
Also in 1964, UCLA won it's first men's basketball NCAA Championship. They won 10 of 12 NCAA titles between 1964 and 1975.
1964 was the last year that silver was used in dimes, quarters and 50 cent pieces -- in 1965- the copper-core coins appeared
When Dr Martin Luther King jr. won the award it wasn't the Nobel Mostly Peaceful prize.
Beatles arrival is mentioned. No mention of their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show on February 9th, no mention of their first film being released in July. No mention of their first U.S. tour. Sure missed a lot of the highlights for 1964.
Because EVERYONE knows this. That's what makes this channel great; they don't rehash what everyone already knows.
@@generalyellor8188not everyone might know this, but this was supposed to be a timeline for 1964, so every event should have been covered.
Thanks for sharing😊
The year of my birth, time really flies by! November 2022, wow
1964 was a good year for me. I was 5 that year. I enjoyed many things that year but one great enjoyment was getting my first G I JOE the Action Soldier on Christmas.
A great year!!! ☮️💟☮️💟
In March 1964 we moved from La Habra, California to Doraville, Georgia and drove a '59 Ford the entire way, even through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. I was 11.
I was 19 and remember it all. Where did the time go ? Holy crap !
It's gone by so fast and the sad thing is the years just seem to speed up as one grows old(er). You really notice when you turn 60. At least it has for me.
Herbie the Elf: "I want to be a dentist."
Also Hermey: "Hey, what do you say we both be independent together, huh?"
It’s “Hermey”
Also RIP Paul Soles, Don Duga, Len Korobkin, and of course Alfie Scopp.
@@RetroFreak35 Yup, my bad!
On Monday, May the fourth, 1964, the soap opera series "Another World" made its debut on NBC-TV. Twenty-five years later on Friday, June the twenty-fifth, 1999 during its silver jubilee celebration, all good things must come to an end. In other words: it was their series finale episode at its very best. On Saturday morning, October the third of the very same year, "The Underdog Show" made its debut on that very same TV network. It featured the voices of Wally Cox in the title role and Norma MacMillan as his ever-loving girlfriend Sweet Polly Purebred. There was also the 1964-1965 World's Fair in Flushing, New York State.
The year I was born
I was a senior in high school. I remember most of this.
I was also in high school and can remember all of this.Unfortunately now I can’t even remember what happened the day before last.
This is the year I remember best as I didn't begin kindergarten until September 1965 in New York City. The Beatles is what I remember best. The other thing I was born a New York Yankees fan. Mickey Mantle was my favorite player but I don't remember much about him.
5 years old at the time, however around 9 or 10 i became a huge Beatles fan, loved the over the top personality of Muhammad Ali, had a serious crush on Elizabeth Montgomery and Dawn Wells, Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer was one of my favorite Christmas shows and by the way Sidney Poitier is Bahamian American not African American.
Good format !!!
The oldest tree on earth was accidentally cut down. How can anyone accidentally cut down a tree. Not to mention a beautiful tree like that? Senseless
There was no sign at the significant tree?
I was only 4yrs old in ‘64, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, was the only thing I remember specifically from that year
I turned 11 late that year. Great memories for sure.
My birth year. A lot of political, cultural and world events that year for sure
A couple yrs later the mustangs were a bit smaller and, a bit more souped up, cause, that’s the one my dad got. I have a few pictures of it.
Major Professional Sports Champions in the U.S. and Canada for 1964:
MLB - St. Louis Cardinals
NBA - Boston Celtics
NFL - Cleveland Browns/AFL - Buffalo Bills/CFL - B.C. (British Columbia) Lions
NHL - Toronto Maple Leafs
Mini Cooper won the World Rally Championship. Ferrari won the 24 hours of LeMans
@Brian Salomon well, almost. The Leafs won one more Stanley Cup...a few years later
@Brian Salomon and more heated, too
@@svenmartin840 A.J. Foyt won his second Indianapolis 500
The Ford Mustang was actually the 1964 1/2 (aka 1964.5). Even though it was considered an early 1965 model, there were some changes to the actual 1965 model. The 1964.5 is quite a collector item. I was a Junior in high school and wanted one, but none of my two jobs even came close to the price tag. So, I continued driving my 1957 Chevy with the straight six and famous noisy tappets (aka lifters). 😁
Love you timeline videos go up till 1989. That's the last year in my opinion of the not so fast pace go go world. Also the last year of the good old days.
How can this recollection leave out the death of Sam Cooke? December 11, 1964!!
Let’s see, what happened in’64? Oh yeah, I married the young lady who still lives with me. She’s been good so far so I guess she can stick around a while longer. 😉
So she never told you about us? Congrats on along life with the one you love
"We won't go"?? I'm sure they said "Hell no, we won't go!"
You are right!!!!!
I was only 7 years old back in 1964.
NBC lost "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" over to CBS in 1972.
(A woman was the voice of Rudolph but they didn’t want people to know it was a woman so they made up a man’s name for the credits.)
@@noble604 Really? I didn't know that.
It was the first Japanese stop-motion animated special made for American TV.
@@jenniferhansen3622 It was June Forey. Voice of many cartoon characters including many in the HB and WB worlds.
Jennifer Hansen - yes... The voice actress in the original Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer tv show was named “Billie Mae Richards.” In the show credits, they credited Billy (or Billie?) Richards as to look like it was a man’s/boy’s voice. I thought of that because It was always interesting to me since Rudolph’s voice sounded like a woman to me growing up ... and he was (and rather than hire a man ... or credit the woman... they altered the actress’s name.)
...just an interesting thing of 1964
What about The New York World’s Fair opening? That was huge.
In 1964, at age 13, I remember hearing a special bulletin on the radio: “the US Surgeon General has determined that smoking is hazardous to your health.” My first thought was, “no shit, Sherlock.” My dad has been telling me that since about age 3. How was this breaking news?
2 notable 60th Anniversaries in pop culture: The first Ford Mustang & The Beatles became rock legends.
The Mustang, & the GTO were the new cars on the block, Bewitched was a hit, The Munsters, & The Addams Family also debuted on tv, & my family started a trend that started at Xmas time 1964, & lasted until 1971, it was fun while it lasted, but the funniest part was my family & my cousins family, in short, 10 people plus luggage all neatly packaged into a 1964 Ford Country Sedan station wagon on our way to my other cousins house in Yorba Linda, for the annual Xmas festivities, especially since we flew into California from Chicago. Yeah, those were the days, when my cousins family moved from Illinois to California in 64, they stayed at my other cousins in a cabin in the mountains, & I have pictures to prove it, but that's another story!!!
I graduated from H.S. and started college, the first class given the option of declining ROTC training. I was later drafted in 1967.
The year I got married.
I was 19 and thought
it was forever.. It wasn't
but all these years later
we still talk and text.
I find myself missing what could have been
And on February 4, 1964 I was born in South Charleston, West Virginia at Thomas Memorial Hospital to Bob and Juanita DeHart, the youngest of 7 children.
My family lived in Alaska then. Luckily, school was closed because of Good Friday as it sustained a lot of damage, split in two and one part sunk into the ground. A lot of lives saved. There was a brand new shopping center with JC Penney that sunk under also.
Early September of 1964, for the first time in history, I stepped into a kindergarten classroom to begin 13 years of education.
No Gulf of Tonkin Incident in August that got us knee deep into the Vietnam War, thanks to LBJ?
@Dapper Canuck Sort of true. JFK sent in some "advisors" but it was LBJ that sent in thousands of troops to get us knee deep into it. In 1960 when DDE left office there were 900 troops, In 1963 when JFK was assassinated, there were approx. 16K American troops there. By the time LBJ left office after 1968 election there were 536K troops there.
I never understood why both Mary Anne and Ginger didn't get pregnant on that little island
By who? Gilligan? The Skipper? Yeah right. The Professor? Let's just say I had my doubts about him. Sadly, Maryann and Ginger were doomed castaways on an island with no real men, and that was the real tragedy.
@@jeffaller6190 Hans Conried or Harold Heckebah the producer or the Russian cosmonaut
I think they liked each other 😉
I remember watching Stingray with Troy Tempest
I remember........
Check pronunciation of Poitier. No r before t.
I noticed that too.
I thought it is PWAH-tee-ay, w/very slight Fr. vowel-influenced 'r' sound in PWAHr.
This was the year I was drafted, to get out of the draft I joined the Air Force, the best decision of my life.
December 31, I was born at 4:06 pm (Lundgren)
Oh yeah....I remember that. 😁
Not only was The Beatles April 4th feat unprecedented, It has yet to be equaled (FORGET about it ever being surpassed...) almost 60 years later! 😲🎶🎵👍😊👍
Hell no, we won't go.
I hope the graduate student who “accidentally cut down”(yeah sure) the oldest known non- clonal organism, the tree known as Prometheus has suffered a life plagued with grief. Makes no sense. Utterly unforgivable. I have always remembered that and here I find myself the opportunity to speak what I felt about the incident.
I was a sophomore In high school when all this was going on. Our graduating class had the highest percentage of college boys (to avoid the draft) in 1967. What a mess for our little town.
I was seven years old and my brother was 15, so naturally we watched The Beatles on our black-&-white 19" Magnavox set. I drew a picture of them the next day in school.
I was also seven years old. I remember going door to door pulling my little wagon, collecting pop bottles to turn in so I could get some spending money.
I was 6 or 7 the first time I heard of the Beatles. My little friend from school taught me the song "Help." We used to sing it on the playground.
My brother was 18 and in Vietnam. Thankfully, he came home, but I have never heard him mention it.
@@MelodyAnn1957 Hard to imagine a pair of first-grade girls singing "Help" out on the playground, especially that part about "When I was younger, so much younger than today - I never needed any help in any way."
Haha! Thanks for giving me my first laugh of the day! In all these years, I never thought of that.
Have a good day!!
@@MelodyAnn1957 Am very pleased I could help brighten someone's day! Made me think that, when you and your friend were babies, you could diaper, bathe, and bottle-feed yourselves! 😊 _P.S._ I remembered the lyrics without any help from the internet, even though I haven't heard the song in many years. As if permanently etched in my mind.....
My dad was dating my mom in Germany. In England TV Writer Terry Nation created the most iconic Sci-Fi villain of all time. The Daleks. Ferrari won the 12 hours of Sebring. A.J Foyt won the Indy 500. For the second time.The Daytona ContiToronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup
Mary Poppins was the most succesfull movie of 1965! The premiere in august 64 was limited! The oscars and academy awards it received was also in spring 1965.

I had an original GI Joe doll....err...I mean Action Figure.😁
