60s music
Groove along to Beat Media's breakdown of the bands, artists, songs and culture that defined the 60s.
The ABC's of the 60's
I enjoy music that spans across a range of decades. From the music of today to that of the 60ās. A little variety! As a kid, I was forced (I mean introduced!) to listen to music from the 60ās. Iām glad to have been introduced to music decades before I was born. Many of these songs remain timeless even today.

The Dear Departed. Content Warning.
Introduction In the fifties and sixties, there was a remarkable obsession with songs about lovers and friends who died, usually in violent circumstances. These were not like the folk songs and murder ballads that I wrote about here, but romanticized death in these three-minute eulogies.

Unaccompanied Folk Ballads
Introduction This originally was going to be a selection from the 100 Ballads site shared by Rosie Whinray and commented on by Julie Henigan in The Ballad Tree: Traditional Folk Ballads and Songs, but the site itself contains recordings of the songs for you to listen to, along with documents and the words, so I saw no point in trying to put them into a piece of my own. Ihave pondered what to do for a few weeks and thought I would simply trawl the world wide web for unaccompanied folk ballads. I think this will create a random feel and hopefully give some people something to listen to that they haven't heard before,

Strange Relations
Introduction I had an idea to create a playlist where after the start each subsequent song would have a related band member from the previous song, the timeline may be a bit haphazard and is probably going to be concentrated on the nineteen sixties and seventies. I have written about how some people only listen to the music of a certain era, but in my opinion, ninety-five per cent is always rubbish and it is up to us to find that five per cent.

Living in the Moment with Reflections of the Past
No matter how we look at things it is best to live each day as if it were our last and to rejoice in the moment. However, there is no reason not to reflect on the past especially those shining memories we have gathered through life.

Dionne Warwick.
Born in East Orange, New Jersey, Dionne Warwick would sing for her church every Sunday ( Sound familiar? ). Warwick established fame at an early age. In 1962, she was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David gaining her first hit "Don't Make Me Over". Within the decade she had 18 consecutive Top 100 Singles.
