Yes I'm surprised to find that my old rock and pop music sense is broken. I enjoy this now. Back in the day I wanted to hear my favorite rock music. Just being busy and older I think this is more relaxing. God Bless
An unfortunate long-running stereotype, I think. There are some truly repetitive and, well, "bad" music of this genre, but I feel the good outweighs the bad significantly. I can't say for sure, but it really doesn't deserve the flak it gets!
A whole entire world of us never knew so many others liked this music. I always thought there was something weirdly cool about this kind of music- nice to know I'm not alone!
I liked this music when I was 13 yo. I was part of a baseball team that the guys from the neighborhood created. I grew up in an Italian American neighborhood in Queens, NY. Don't even think of asking me if I let the guys know this "Little Secret".
@@sgnmath1234 I'm with you and know what you mean. I'm one of those kids who like The Carpenters, but in my neighborhood, I had the feeling that wouldn't go down very well with the fellas, ha ha. Then years later I hear R&B superstar Luther Vandross covering The Carpenter's "Superstar" and I though, who knew? May have been quite a few "Silent Carpenters Fans" in my neighborhood as well!

This music is essentially a symphony playing songs other than the antiquated classics of Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven. I don’t see how any adult would dislike this. When I was a kid, I thought this was boring because all kids want excitement. When you’re grown, you like to relax sometimes and this music does it. Very soothing. We used to have an AM radio station in my city growing up (KHAR) that played this 24/7. I assume it was because businesses tuned in and used it as their corporate background. I don’t know.
I was a kid when they had this wonderful kind of music piping through the department stores and malls. I wouldn't trade being in this time era for today's even if it meant being younger now!
When I was 9yrs young I discovered the most soothingly, lush string orchestra music I'd ever heard in my then, young life. It was an AM dial program on my portable transistor radio. I'd place it beneath my pillow at night, using it as a sleep aid. This was my introduction to Beautiful Music. 😊❤🎶🎵🎵🎶🥰
How shopping should sound! Whoever made it possible to hear the very latest music while you shop, by the actual artists, should be ashamed of themselves. You go shopping to escape the every day, not to be immersed in it!
the amount of talent, dedication, teamwork and effort the people of the past had is amazing and almost non existent today. i am so thankful for the things we have been left. maybe someday we will be deserving of it all
Why should this be history !! play it now in 2023 in every department store! the kids will love it!!!!........................................................................................)
Vwery few stores play music of any description these days because its just too expensive. Up until the 90's you could play whatever you wanted in a store without issue but then royalties became big money and ended it.
raksh9 in the US Kmart is sadly a dying company. But im glad its doing good in Australia! Maybe there is still hope. But look up the Company Man on youtube, and look up the decline of kmart and he explains it well.
@@wesjay7780 Oh, that's a real shame. We've had Kmart here for decades and it would suck if it vanished. Will check out your recommendation, thank you for that.😊

O man...the popcorn at Sears' snack bar was SO GOOD. I never had anything else until one day my Aunt bought me a little choc "Haystack" and o my godddd SO GOOD TOO 😃
As much as I love this music and listen to it often, it makes me wish for better days. It makes me miss my parents. Does anyone have an extra time machine lying around??
They used to play this as house music at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe. I remember listening to it backstage, between sets, while working there as a musician in the 70’s
As an accomplished, lifelong musician it's not uncommon for me to grow tired of a song and never want to hear it again by the end of its first three minute debut. Not so with this music. By the third time through I feel like I know each tune very well and I'm loving it!
Thanks for this! We didn't have malls, as such, over here in the UK in the 70s but we had smaller shopping centres and I remember this kind of music from my childhood. Lovely!
It's 1971 and Mom has taken me to the Memphis midtown Sears to pick up a package. (We lived in the suburb of Whitehaven near Graceland.) We pass by the snack counter, and I see those hot cashews through the glass window. Yum. Salty and hot.
It's a relaxing change of pace from the everyday; like stepping back into the '60's or '70's. Like listening to the radio and hearing a station that plays this type of music.
Yes. We used to have an AM radio station in Anchorage, Alaska when I was growing up (KHAR) that played this 24/7. I assume it was because businesses tuned in and used it as their corporate background. I don’t know. They called it “K-heart, easy listening”. My stepmother used to play it all the time. If I owned a radio station (and could pay the bills), I’d play this 24/7 too.
If you look on this content creator’s channel, you’ll find he has music going way back. He has even posted some of this stuff from the 1940’s. If you need 1930’s look around the channel, he might have some.
This music reminds me of being a little kid in the 70s in New York some stores like Mays in Levittown, NY still had a man in the elevator who ran it and to me as a little kid I thought of stores as magical places full of stuff and relaxing music . By the time I was a teen in the mid 80s this was over except at KMart or Lord and Taylor’s or King Kullen supermarkets

1983 Kmart - Good morning Kmart shoppers all items with the yellow tags are 50% off have a great day ! Security to women's underclothes we have a code 3 .😆
A drug store in our area is going to try something like that. They're going to start playing classic music outside in front to keep lowlifes from congregating in front of the store. Classical music and especially opera are very effective thug repellants.
i agree with every comment. my memories of these times are all grey, dull, and sort of plastic, but i miss it all. the world is too much with us today.
Music Machine from K-Tel! The original hits by the original stars! That might have been the first record of grown-up music I ever owned...second or third grade. Rode my bike home from school by myself, checked in with Grandma for a snack, then went next door to my house, let myself in because Mom was at work, put my record on the hi-fi and played with my hamster. *sigh*
Ah, I thought I had heard the first track before: Shuffle Time by the Kenny Bird Orchestra! And that version of Rollin' Down The River at 48:40 is just fab!

@@mosesberkowitz3298 Oh it was everywhere in Britain...supermarkets had it, also department stores, lifts (elevators), restaurants, motorway service stations, you could even get it piped through speakers by the bed in hotel rooms and in sleeper cars on the railway.
Never thought the day would come when I would say this, but this stuff is great, especially with so much foul music hitting the streets today, this stuff had an innocence and peppiness to it!
Some may say “bland”. They’re comparing it to emotionally exciting music. I wouldn’t call this bland, but I’d call it soothing. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to be soothed sometimes. I think a lot of people (especially young people) are embarrassed to admit that they like this because they’re supposed to only like emotionally exciting stuff (rock, dance, hip hop, rap, country, etc.)
I don't understand why utube wants people to subscribe to comment... but I grew up with this "LITE MUSIC" since I was about 7 years old.. and it used to soothe me ;-) there was a station in Chicago called WLAK and my aunt would play it after she was tired of gospel music.. AND MAN it Would just send me on'em dayaaa DEAMSSSS.. I'd be staring n2a space and humming with the music LOL.......
Now when I was little, I used to hear Muzak all the time in Star Markets, which was also a Muzak sideband of WVOR-FM-100.5. I also used to go into the storerooms,and one storeroom had the transistor radio sound of Muzak, which came from a horn speaker in one wall of the storeroom. It had a transistor sound, which was also a metal, transistor radio sound. "TELETRONIX. TWO TRANSISTOR RADIO!!" the metal horn speaker read one side of it in metal lettering. I heard a jazz style Muzak orchestra, which also had a transistor sound. "PICKUP AT THE FRONT, PLEASE!!" a very loud, harsh, metal voice blared and screamed out of the metal horn speaker, which also frightened me to death. I went and used the restroom, which also had Muzak piped in to the restroom, and the restroom also was a very freezing cold, closed in, echoing, cavernous place of a restroom, that had a terrible, closed in echo, and the restroom also had Muzak piped in, which also had a hollow, metal, transistor sound, and it came from a metal Teletronix horn speaker in one wall of the restroom, too. "ORDER TO THE FRONT, PLEASE!!" a very loud, harsh, angry, screaming, metal voice blared out of the speaker, which had a closed in, horrible echo in the restroom, and the restroom was also a very dirty, freezing cold place to be in. The restroom and the voice that came from the horn speaker, absolutely terrified and frightened me to death, too. -Mark Weintraub.
I can't determine if I like this because it's what I heard in department stores as a kid, or if it's just the style itself. Probably a little bit of both
I remember hearing music like this playing in surermarkets when I was a child. Changed days. Although staff in Tesco where I live sometimes put their playlists on their mobile phone near the till.
I’ve always dreamed of crankin’ out scorching solos as the leader of an elevator /lounge band...I’ve often fantasized about this. In my daydream, I’m celebrated as the baddest, meanest Rhodes electric piano player in the world. And if whenever the song calls for it, I’d of course switch to playing a Vox Jaguar Combo Organ....
I'm imagining a forlorn looking advertising executive who's just been made redundant, coat on, clutching his briefcase, a potted plant and the contents of his desk in a box, as one of these jaunty tunes plays as the elevator descends.

If I was trapped in an elevator with this music, I would tell the rescuers to bring me a martini, cheese and crackers, and come back later :-)

Wouldn’t you just??!! 😉😁
I think this says more about modern music
I'd bring the Jeno's Pizza Rolls!

Omg, that baffling old British money system. As a Yank, you have completely baffled me. What British stores used to play this type of music?
@@mosesberkowitz3298 Oh it was everywhere in Britain...supermarkets had it, also department stores, lifts (elevators), restaurants, motorway service stations, you could even get it piped through speakers by the bed in hotel rooms and in sleeper cars on the railway.
HA HA - Spot on !!
Great memories 😊
Never thought the day would come when I would say this, but this stuff is great, especially with so much foul music hitting the streets today, this stuff had an innocence and peppiness to it!
This is wonderful! I just love how well put together this is! I even change clothes and put on my make-up I feel so positive
Muzak/seeburg are the best I don’t care if it’s “bland” i LOVE this kind of music
Some may say “bland”. They’re comparing it to emotionally exciting music. I wouldn’t call this bland, but I’d call it soothing. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to be soothed sometimes. I think a lot of people (especially young people) are embarrassed to admit that they like this because they’re supposed to only like emotionally exciting stuff (rock, dance, hip hop, rap, country, etc.)
Im 22 and I dont understand why i love this music. I could even listen to despacito in an elevator version.
Joeys right hand squeeze why don’t u shut the fuck up asshole. With ya fat face. You got guts tho posting that pic tho, I’ll give you that
This is a great mix! It's so happy!!!
I don't understand why utube wants people to subscribe to comment... but I grew up with this "LITE MUSIC" since I was about 7 years old.. and it used to soothe me ;-) there was a station in Chicago called WLAK and my aunt would play it after she was tired of gospel music.. AND MAN it Would just send me on'em dayaaa DEAMSSSS.. I'd be staring n2a space and humming with the music LOL.......
You're reading my comment right now, and I didn't subscribe to post it
That’s likely why it’s so buried now……opens people up too much that is and provides them happiness ….. 😎
So groovy, it’s Goldmembers Austin Powers all over again baby!
Now when I was little, I used to hear Muzak all the time in Star Markets, which was also a Muzak sideband of WVOR-FM-100.5. I also used to go into the storerooms,and one storeroom had the transistor radio sound of Muzak, which came from a horn speaker in one wall of the storeroom. It had a
transistor sound, which was also a
metal, transistor radio sound.
"TELETRONIX.
TWO TRANSISTOR RADIO!!" the metal
horn speaker read one side of it in
metal lettering.
I heard a jazz style
Muzak orchestra, which also had a transistor sound.
"PICKUP AT THE FRONT, PLEASE!!"
a very loud, harsh, metal voice blared and screamed out of the metal horn speaker, which also frightened me to death.
I went and used the restroom, which also had Muzak piped in to the restroom, and the restroom also was a very freezing cold, closed in, echoing, cavernous place of a restroom, that had a terrible, closed in echo, and the restroom also had
Muzak piped in,
which also had a hollow, metal, transistor sound, and it came from a
metal Teletronix horn speaker in one wall of the restroom, too.
"ORDER TO THE FRONT, PLEASE!!" a very loud, harsh, angry, screaming, metal voice blared out of the speaker, which had a closed in, horrible echo in the restroom, and the restroom was also a very dirty, freezing cold place to be in.
The restroom and the voice that came from the horn speaker, absolutely terrified and frightened me to death, too.

LOL! I'm falling over!
This is such good music; it's like remembering the music back before the kind of music that you hear nowadays.
Great music for working at home! Upbeat, nostalgic, :)
I also love this music, I think it's great. Greetings from Germany
i like imagining someone holding their loved ones hand, strutting down the street, fresh new clothes, and nice scenery to these songs
I like that image!
I can't determine if I like this because it's what I heard in department stores as a kid, or if it's just the style itself.
Probably a little bit of both
I remember hearing music like this playing in surermarkets when I was a child. Changed days. Although staff in Tesco where I live sometimes put their playlists on their mobile phone near the till.
Wow that's snazzy , my foots tappin !!!! Sterophonic too !!!!!
I’ve always dreamed of crankin’ out scorching solos as the leader of an elevator /lounge band...I’ve often fantasized about this. In my daydream, I’m celebrated as the baddest, meanest Rhodes electric piano player in the world.
And if whenever the song calls for it, I’d of course switch to playing a Vox Jaguar Combo Organ....
I'm imagining a forlorn looking advertising executive who's just been made redundant, coat on, clutching his briefcase, a potted plant and the contents of his desk in a box, as one of these jaunty tunes plays as the elevator descends.
Horizon AM was a radio station in Bogota, Colombia. Used to play this music from the back early 70s until 1990..
thanks for the perfect sunday morning vibes
What a lovely way to start the day. :-) Loving this video so much. Such happy and upbeat music, reminding me of simple family times growing up.

Muzak such a great music
Sears, K mart, Newberrys, they all had this nice music playing. It was relaxing and perfect shopping music.
This made me overcome fear of being stuck in an elevator
These old songs are great to listen to
They still play this sort of music in the lobby of Buffalo General Hospital.
Beautiful simply beautiful
the intro is so vintage, i's like one of those that you could see only in childhood
if anyone is interested here is my Etsy store I will be selling cool retro items there : etsy.me/2TLgO1P
Song that starts at 2:50 is called “the lazy game” by Pierre Porte
That song sounds like backgammon and a snifter of imported brandy.
