Just sad the way top 40 today has sunk into total homogeneous irrelevance. There is no way todays computerized dance music & throwaway lyrics are going to be remembered 50 years from now like hits of the sixties are today
@@jazzyrick No not necessarily, my mum liked a lot of our music and so did my dad but he wouldn't admit it. I know he liked to watch The Old Grey Whistle Test on TV.
The Beatles..."I feel fine" "Eight days a week" "Ticket to ride" Help" and "Yesterday" That`s a whole career for any other band, but only just another year for the Beatles! Amazing. They literally ruled the world in the 60`s...
@@allegra0 People like what they like, and not everybody likes The Beatles. However, they would only be "overrated" if they were considered the best band ever by the people who did like them, if they were not also the biggest-seller of all time. As the biggest-selling artist of all time, they were not overrated. It does not mean you have to like them.
poor kids today will never have new real music again, rock and roll was the classical music of are time, thank god we had the tech at the time to record it all
that's probably what are parents said. My mom was cool she liked everything. My oldest sister was into Elvis. I preferred one hit wonders especially loved 67. I put my music on my computer and mp3 so I don't have to listen to what I don't like
Michael Serby For many yes but that’s also when divorce rates were on the rise. Broken homes. No family vacations no merry Christmas, no happy birthdays. It was a very crappy time for many, I know personally and it left it’s mark.
The Beatles in 1965 showed great superiority over their rivals. But am surprised that the Supremes almost went toe to toe with the Beatles in terms of no. 1 hits this particular year. i thought either the Rolling Stones or the Beach Boys would bw close. Yet the Supremes were the closest to the Beatles’ success in ‘65z
But the Supremes were just singers, it was their backup band that created their sound along with most music coming out of Motown at that time. they were The Funk brothers and got little recognition, it was so unfair..
@@patbrennan6572 Having a net worth of $2.5 M and a RU-vid Channel worth $3.3 M probably isn't as much as the bands they played for made, but I'd settle for it. I never knew that or even heard of The Funk Brothers until I saw your comment, but looked it up. Thanks. I may even look for their 20th Century Masters CD.
Diana Ross & The Supremes were huge! Their big hits were referred to as The String of #1s. In the same time frame as The Beatles (who had 20 [American] #1s in 6yrs)(21 if you count the double sided #1 Come Together/Something as 2 but you can't compare The Beatles to too many bands), Diana Ross & The Supremes had 12 #1s (with 6 more Diana Ross #s in the next decade or so. Compared with groups like The Dave Clark 5 (who are always compared to The Beatles) having 1 (American) #1 in their career. The Beach Boys had 3, The Stones had 8. Other artists who had anywhere near 20 #1s took about 20 years to do so.
And of course Elvis Presley would be the only exception to that having 18 (American) #1s (that includes his double sided #1 Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog as 2) in 13 years. And by the way, I like all those bands.
What a great time to be alive. I was born in 1947 on Christmas, I left school just before my 15th birthday (because I had a job to go to) I first heard Love me do by the Beatles in the works canteen, from then music was so different from what we were used to. Elvis started the transition along with others but Elvis was the catalyst. The Beatles made the real change and I bought a motor scooter, a Vespa GS 160, I had all of the trimmings, the fly screen, the lights the fairing, everything to look flash, it was great to pull the girls(which was the main reason to become a Mod) we used to get paid on Friday`s and we used to go away as a group, normally six of us and we would meet other Mods, go to parties (we could take the parka`s off and be in our suits) pick up the girls, if we had no parties we would sleep on beaches. Music was our main thing but it was like being in a big club. Even the seaside battles between the mods and the rockers were all overhyped by the press and not as bad as it was reported. I know I was there for all of them. The sixties was a great time to be young, life was a lot simpler then and we all enjoyed our lives. These days it seems as though people cant have a night out without causing trouble or somebody being stabbed, we never had that, a fight was just that between two people. We all collected the music that we liked and I had all of the Beatles albums.
Thank you Channel4Fantasy for taking the time to put this together. Good job. I was 15 in January, 16 at December. Every note and nuance of every one of these songs was absorbed into my being throughout this greatest year in pop music history.
I am still listening to these hits everywhere I go ' coz they were in my i-pod. They bring back lots of memories. Love them all. I was born in 1955. Great job. Congrats!
Smokeynewton Well, i`ve seen The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Elton John.. I wasn`t born in the 60`s, so i had to see them recently, but it was worth every dime.. I`ve seen McCartney twice.
@Robert Zimmerman The Beatles had more no.1 hits in 1965 than Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Neil Diamond had through their whole career! I think the Monkees had three no.1 singles in total, and Herman`s Hermits had two?
R.I.P. Mary Wilson. You were part of one of the all time great music acts in American entertainment history! Love The Beatles, but The Supremes will always have a special place in my heart. Hell, they were Ed Sullivan's favorite musical group! Would you believe their 17 appearances on his BIG SHOE are the most of any group during the 50's and 60's Rock & Roll Era! 😎🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂😍
Wow! I remember my older sister playing these songs on records. I was 10 yrs young at the time. I enjoyed these songs all of them. I heard : " Help Me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys at a school Pep Ralley in the school Gymnasium. Cool! Thanks!
There are many rare, true live performances in this video, including the ones by Supremes, the Four Tops, The Byrds, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and the electric Yesterday.
at age 70 this september 4th 2024 ,,,,there will never be another era as good as this one ! the ed sullivan show ohhh god LOL ,,,,,,god bless thanks for this
TurkeysGames >>>> Fair enough - I happen to like their earlier work (albums up to and including Help)..”Please Please Me” ...my favourite song. After that they became increasingly pretentious and self conscious. That said...everyone has their own favourites.
Thank God l grow up listening to these fantastic songs now l am 60 l get the pleasure of listening all over again on you tube it takes me back to my childhood
Everyone who experienced the 1960s are soooooo lucky. It’ could have only happened once, and you experience it. Man I hate my generation, everything is so dull and washed out. Full of horrible and lazy music...
@jose salas the old claim is ,, if you remember the 60’s - you weren’t there , I was born in 55 and remember most of this , but I did prefer the Dave Clark 5 over the Beatles, Dave Clark was probably the best drummer of that era , and he made it look effortless , I think the best music of the 60’s was the later part like 1968 ,69 , Regards ,Robert
It was a very good year in music. I played a few of these songs on my acoustic guitar. Now if only that damned war in Southeast Asia wasn’t creeping up on me.
Started high school 1959 good years good times good country hood respect good people.WHAT HAPPENED WORLD DID NOT CHANGE BUT PEOPLE DID. NEVER SEE THOSE DAYS AGAIN.
The Beatles were leaps and bounds ahead of their contemporaries, the driving rhythm in their songs and their unique melodies. Herman's Hermits? Ouch...not so good. The Supremes were awesome and Flo and Mary should have got more camera time, on account of they were smokin' hot.
Yes ma'am. Eric Burdon is definitely one of the best rock singers ever. Love their version of "Boom, Boom". I'm biased towards the Beatles here, cause "Ticket to Ride" is just brilliant to me. I'm surprised it was a number one, cause it's not a dance song. The melody is more like an Anglican church hymn (raised Episcopal, might be why I like so many of their songs).
Wonderful songs, beautiful music, evergreens!! And as we always have to mention it, the American playlists were always one year behind the British charts!! 🤗✌️
1:06 is so sad. And the Beatles were musical geniuses. Nothing like puppy-love, and being all messed-up from the Herman's Hermits songs. Sometimes memories are kinda painfull. But they feel Good. ?
Sorted by increasing datesFar better than the chart numbers!! Those of us old enough to remember that year, as we heard it on AM radio, should appreciate this!! Thanks!
1965...That was SOME year in the history of pop music! This is music that really goes straight to...and from...the soul. I don't think I'm being a grumpy old man to say that there is no comparison these days to this level of achievement.
Lol, you can't say the American record-buying public weren't eclectic in their tastes back then. From bouncy, silly "I'm 'Enery the Eighth I am" to a growling "We're on the Eve of Destruction" doomsday message a couple of weeks later. I miss the true diversity we had back then.
This was the music that was played in my house. I was born in 1966 and my late mother played all these songs throughout my childhood! They simply don’t put out music like this! A bunch of obnoxious kids trying to outdo one another to see who can be the most vulgar! What happened?????
I was a surfer so a Beach boy fan, I discovered the Beatles had some good songs way back when. Became a total Moody Blues fan in 1968, so gave some other groups a fair shake
These damn kids today have no idea what good music is, I remember parking down by the lake with my girlfriends smoking grass and having sex like a wild neanderthal. Hell nowadays you can't even get into the backseat of a car.this is the music we used to listen to when we have to walk 20 miles to school in the snow. Damn kids don't know what suffering is
suzycreamcheesez it truly was. I was 10 in 1965. Top 40 was the only social media other than rotary dial landlines 😂 the hits just kept coming year after year. I hear that gang banger noise when I’m at a red light and look at the driver. They always look like their ready to shoot someone or themselves.
It was fantastic. I had a radio under my pillow at night and went to sleep listening to all this phenomenal music. When I say it is part of who I am, it’s not just words. This stuff still raises the hair in my arms. It has brought me so much happiness.
Was a teenager during the ‘60’s . Best music , best sport viewing , vacations , freedom ... fantastic time to grow up . I consider myself so very lucky .
That was one of the best years ever to turn 13...finally a "teenager," and the Junior High School Dances were the best. I really loooooooooooooove looking back at all these great songs of the 50's and 60's. (DH, Oklahoma City, 8.25.19)
I was a freshman in 1960. Best music ever made from then to the 80's. There are still good songs Coming out now, but BIG difference in a good song then and a good song now. Whole different level.
OMG!! This collection is missing one of the greatest songs ever in 1965, in the decade and in the future decades. Perhaps because the title was unusual; "Unchained Melody" by The Rigtheous Brothers. How I miss Motown.
I won't put down the music today but I can say that was an awfully good year. Thanks for putting this together. Surprised to see Dave Clark Five at the end. There is a transition from the British invasion going on, lots of good soul. I'd love to have all these hits on a disc.
Twelve years old , pitching in Little league on opening day , brand new baseball , and hit after hit on the old A.M. radio ! life couldn't get any better , and it didn't , look at what the liberals have done to our country !
