MUSIC OF THE SIXTIES The Folk Singers (2) (Peter,Paul & Mary,Judy Collins,Joan Baez & Joni Mitchell) 0439am 14.10.24 would Laibach covering this song as opposed to the song: in the year 2525 have made this seeming heartfelt folk song worthy of the disco hardbeat scene... or would the anarchists still be detonating fertilizer bombs into the atmosphere and claiming it was a disease... pandemic? lunatics abound, sir.... folk music doesnt assuage such woes.
I was lucky enough to be born to hear all of them live . Fabulous singing and guitar playing without all the new commercialized garbage . Aside for the war and segregation great to have lived to hear this .
I am so grateful I was born in '46, & grew up in the 50's & 60's ! So much great, GREAT music ! PP& M were treasures, as were Joan, Judy & Joni. -------------Wolfsky9, 69 y/o
Joan, Judy & Joni got lost in the woman's movement of the time. A movement that leader Gloria Steinem said was wrong as she became older and wiser in the 80's.
MUSIC OF THE SIXTIES The Folk Singers (2) (Peter,Paul & Mary,Judy Collins,Joan Baez & Joni Mitchell) 0442am 14.10.24 the sad dude stomping about in front of his ma's mirror naked whilst wearing her high heels whilst he sings to joan baez protest songs was worthy of a coen bros film, i feel..... the beatles kindda works in many fashions... that band cornered the market in genre traversing.
My children were born in the era of psychedelic music. When I ask them listen to this kind of music, I always tell them that this is true music, music that we never get tired to listen, music and lyrics that mean something, that we can sing while relaxing or even working.
I discovered folk music in the sixties of people like Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Joni Mitchell and nothing else could come up to its quality...
This stuff really got me into music and performing. The thing to notice here is how straightforward the performances are, and how essentially simple. That was the mark of the times. Compare that to today's music, so much of which is overproduced and processed. Thank goodnesz not every musician falls into that trap.
Thanks for uploading this, I for one am grateful to be a part of this generation, these songs still transport me back to a time in my childhood with the magic of the songs!
The singers and songwriters back then had a special ability to express with their music how many of us felt. The words had meaning then, and still do today. It was a wonderful time to be young.
All made a major impact as soon as they come on the radio I instantly know who they are and I really wasn't into folk when they first made an appearance , But as true legends reach across genres and they are heard one way or another! Their music takes me back to a great time, once upon a time.
I would also join you guys if I could get into a time machine and go back to the 60s. I'm still so sad about my brothers who did not come back from Nam, to be able to sit with us today and be able to look back and listen to these "oldies". Semper Fi Brothers - you are long gone, but never forgotten.
Wow, I suddenly love Judi Collins. Even tho I tell my wife that funerals are up to the living, I'd like to have that rendition of In My Life played at my funeral. Beautiful.
This is the type of music that my mom liked. You can rest better in your crib if this music if this is playing, and I would always like it when the blanket would be placed over the top of the crib.....but it never stayed for long.
These are songs that had meaning and melody and were sung beautifully with some beautiful voices. Take "Greenfields" by the Brothers Four for example. You can go on and on. Not the songs that we get now. As Wolfsky says, I'm also grateful that I was born in 48 and got to listen to these songs then in the 50's and 60's and can still hear them now. They will never fade away.
The sixties were a golden decade anyone of my age ( 70) will remember that time with all the memories that go with it . Were are all the protest songs now ..
All us baby boomer generation sure remember the folkie era. Basically the early sixties. When you hear a phrase like "sixties music" most people think Beatles, Stones, the English scene. But the folkie stuff was ALL THE RAGE in tbe three years 1960 to September 1963, when the Beatles and English groups SUDDENLY appeared and swept everything away before them. Even the Beatles recorded a great folkie song "Things We Said Today."
MUSIC OF THE SIXTIES The Folk Singers (2) (Peter,Paul & Mary,Judy Collins,Joan Baez & Joni Mitchell) 0445am 14.10.24 well, if it wasn't for joan baez a million dudes would be married now. i surmise joan eventually got wed, settled down on the ranch and went to bingo of an evening as she recalled the heady days of the anti nuclear campaing her anti nuclear family unit stance and the woes of the misery she seems to champion, here.... she' only against marriage due to her lover wanting to get hitched to another... that's a tradition around the globe - especially made manifest in song..............................................
Listened to this music as a child, and now nearing 60 I am listening to it again. There was a purity and simplicity to this music that is hard to find in a lot of todays music. It seems that there's so much more noise, more human manipulation of voices and instrumentation in todays music, in some ways they can create incredibly amazing experiences for us, in other ways too much of something takes away from the beauty of something being imperfectly perfect
Judy Collins was the perfect package of beauty, voice and those eyes, “Judy Blue Eyes”, Seldome is she recalled for her professional touch as a musician, and she had that to. Judy earned a PhD in music and she just had it all and made it look so beautifully easy. Great video with other great artists, thank you.
Beautiful women and beautiful heartwarming tunes that will in fact blow you away with joy 🥲 and peace ☮️ and inspiration to dream 🛌 love ❤️ this so much 😍🥰🎸🎤🪕🎻.
To all Singer/Songwriters from the 60`s Thank you for those fine MusikToday several People lost the Feeling for better own live. These Artist here was the base for a better world
Thank you so much for these lovely memories. I can't believe you don't have more hits. The sound is excellent and the video shows the singers' personalities and delightful spirits.
I was 7 years old my first concert my parents took me to a red rocks in Colorado to see Peter Paul and Mary I became very famous in radio and when they were older Peter Paul and Mary came to town and I took them to the show and then took them backstage I'll never forget it
Just finding this on New Year's Eve-Eve 14-15. Watery eyes... maybe the brandy. Maybe the early '60s memories; 50 years later. Thanks for the many posts (class of '64, Vietnam 67-'70). I was the only purchaser of Bob D's 1'st in S. Central FLA. (or maybe one-in-10).
The young generation, will never know to what a great losed, that they will never know, we were so lucky to grow up in that time in life, it only comes around ounces in a lifetime, and to miss it"!!!
It is sweet hear test on your lip,. How may time s we have talk to about tomorrow,. 좋아요, 노래 가사가 사랑 인것 을. ~~. Nice song and thank you for singing with guitar melody.
Oh what your a fucking expert on music because your a doctor? Or just because you're some white dude. Go fuck yourself plenty of good music being made on synthesizers that these musicians would've used if they were available at the time.
The freshness of their (and our) youth is a big part of the beauty I experience. They embodied new life and hope, as did many of us in that era. Something had cracked open a gateway to the creative well-springs of life. It flowed into our world for a time; and as with all creative energies, it could be bent toward the light as well as toward the dark. It may have closed, but tasting this sample brings it closer to the surface for me in this unfamiliar present.
I love the music from the 60's. I was a young adult and the music reflected how my interests became so much more about the world than what I was wearing to the dance next week.
Well put Bonnie. Thank you. Man, Mary Travers, Judy Collins and Joan Baez back to back to back. Wonderful stuff. I sure miss Mary Travers. How many deaths will it take..
Good comments indeed... I was 72 couple of days ago and adore these guys (specially Joan...) but, friends, I really do prefer dream in a brighter future
I grew listening to all of them all, and even I had a crush on Joan Baez. But of the talents in the video, only Joni Mitchell, sang an original song. Peter, Paul, and Mary played a great Dylan favorite that they completely owned. Judy Collins sang a John Lennon song while Joan Baez sang yet another Dylan Song, but Joni Mitchell sang her own song, Clouds, a song that Judy Collins covered.
still nice to see Judy Collins singing small venue's but I do miss Mary Travers of PPM. Saw thm at least 10 different yrs in Sacramento and then in Phoenix whn they were no longer together but individual singers. Hard to see thm growing old as I also age 74 this yr 2017. It was a great era of social songs to make changes, civil rights, the war. I was in the Navy and u cld hear their songs throughout the dormitories.
A lot of understandable nostalgia in the comments but there’s also a lot of good stuff out there today - mostly at small, live gigs. Need to get out more ;-) Anyway, thanks for this collection.
