I work in Senior care for folks who are at the last step before possibly needing to go into a home. Most of my people were born in 1945 or earlier so I play this for them at work. They all light up and immediately start with stories of where they were and what they were doing when they heard a song..... It's a wonderful gift and I really appreciate all the folks who put these compilations together so we can share them 💕♥️💕♥️
Those folks are so special and too often sadly overlooked by younger generations. We miss out on so many wonderful conversations and the chance to receive their knowledge and wisdom because this culture has taught us age is bad and should be hidden. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Thank you for the work you do!!
I am laughing at/ with you. . I am 77.25. I was born in 1944 and my parents introduced me to this kind of 🎶music. I still work. I do activities in an assisted living facility. I love dancing for the residents. Some of the residents met their spouse at a USO dance. I am from the Chicago area.
I'm playing this for my almost 104 year old mother. She's not quite here anymore but I can imagine her hearing this and dreaming of dancing with my Dad. Thank you for this!
There are studies that show dementia patients, who may not be able to remember yesterday do remember the music of their younger & active years. So you're probably right.
Mom and Dad were married right after Dad came home from WWII - they used to dance in the living room to Big Band - all of their 75 years together - Still see them dancing as we listen to Big Band - Mom was 101 and Dad was 103 when they passed on - the Big Band Music still brings them back - thank you.
(short version of a longer story I like to tell.) My mother was born in 1914 in Macon, Georgia, she was 26 in 1940. She met the man she was to marry in 1941 or 1942, while working at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, in Florida -- he was in the RAF, over in the states for training purposes. She, being an anglophile from when she was a child, set her cap for him (old idiom, look it up,) and let him chase her, until she caught him. Well, that's what she told me many years later., when she thought I was old enough to understand - I was home on leave after Parris Island, in 1966. He was transferred to Memphis NAS to finish his training, she got a transfer there, and they crossed the river into Arkansas (no waiting period after getting the license,) and married. He was transferred back to England. So she went to the British Consul in Macon, Georgia, and joined the Royal Women's Auxiliary Ambulance Corps, which allowed her to take a troop ship across the North Atlantic in 1943, and they lived at Buckingham Palace -- well, right at it, across the street in Slough, Bucks. My older brother was born June 8th, 1944, in Slough, two days after D-Day, in a nursing home (the hospitals were closed to the general public, reserved for the war wounded.) She said, "As I was having him, a flying bomb fell two blocks from the nursing home. When the bomb went off, I popped him out like spitting out a melon seed. Easiest birth I had, courtesy of Adolf Hitler." This was their music. I grew up listening to their record collection. They're all gone now, long ago, and I'll be 76 tomorrow. Never expected to live this long.
How our Psychic mentality has changed in regards to music. In the 40s it tried to inspire people to give hope. The music now seems to be about people's lack of hope, and disintegration. Oh! Well.
Jack Poynter: I love your parent's love story! Your mom wasn't about to let this guy she met go on his merry way without her. She did a wonderful thing in letting him "chase her". And, now here YOU are to tell their love story to the world! Thanks. SYLVIA! 10-16-2021
Think about this for just a moment: The times in which we live are fraught with problems, some of which are unimaginable that we would have to go through some of the same ugliness that our ancestors had to endure and solve. But one thing that helps is that we are in a golden era in some ways as well. Imagine how difficult it was back when this music was popular to be able to hear it when you wanted to hear it, yet here we are able to pull up any music style, genre or particular song on our computer and listen to it and enjoy it. The same thing goes for just about every film that was ever made or every television show; we have all of these things at our fingertips and can enjoy it over and over again. And to those who think that the past was always better, do not forget that every era had its wars, strife and problems to overcome. Thank God we have all this to help us through our own issues.
Long ago and far away, my wife and I would sit on our back porch on Sunday afternoons and listen to these songs on the record player. Sometimes we would have friends over and sometimes it would be just we two. Such wonderful memories.
I'm 76 and not only am I enjoying the music of my parents, but the comments of others like Jack. Mother was 32 when I was born and Dad was 33. I imagine them listening to this on a radio. We had a beautiful very large radio in a wooden cabinet. As a little child I used to sit by the speaker watching the lights inside and trying to see the "little people inside" . I'm so thankful I found this music.
Всем привет.Я родился в России в 1960. В 15 лет я впервые услышал танцевальную музыку 20 - 30 годов и был буквально очарован ею. Обожаю Глена Миллера,Эллу Фитжеральд, Луи Армстронга и Бинга Кросби. Я живу за тысячи километров от вас , но эта прекрасная музыка вызывает у нас одинаковые чувства и создаёт для нас те прекрасные моменты , которые объединяют всех людей на земле. Слушать эту музыку - это счастье.
I can't imagine how life was like back then, it seems like a completely different time even though it was like 50 years ago. I grew up after the internet was made so I can't imagine living in a time when there was no internet
I am 63 years old- yes this music is before my time obviously 😊. But what warms my heart are the "youngsters " below the age of say 30 who are falling in love with this era of music ❤❤
i'm 38 while listening to this, i started listening roughly at 37, but only because i got into a video game called fallout 4, now i listen to all kinds of oldies music, i'm not exactly sure what era fallout is really depicting because some of the music is from the 30s and some is from the 50s, so it's difficult to know for sure, anyway the game came with a lot of great tunes form these times and eventually it makes you want to listen to more variety while playing the game. it's great building music, so long as i'm building a settlement while listening to something like this, i feel good.
I’m 17 and I’ve been obsessed with the 1940’s-early 1960’s for the past 4 years! I just adore the music, fashion, and films/shows of these decades! I may love the 1950’s the most, but the 1940’s just has something special that makes me feel so nostalgic for a time I’ve never lived ❤❤❤
I'm 81 born in 1940 and was there through this tremendous era of great music. IT was wonderful comfort as WW2 was coming to an end. In my mind and through music on You Tube and Spotify I can relive and recall those super memories of my youth!
I have so many questions for you but I'll limit it to two questions. I lost my uncle that was born in 1936 before I got to ask him these questions. 1.)What was it like growing up right after the war ended? 2.)What did you think of 1941 Wolf man when you watched it for the first time?
@@cubey America was Founded by whites for whites. In 1965 the immigration laws were radically changed to allow in, for the first time, a large influx of non white foreigners which has been our demise ever since. If you were born after the 80's then you obviously wouldn't know how it truly was before the changes occurred, but we do, and it hasn't been positive for our people, country and culture. Mass dversity is NOT a strength for any country. Never has been, never will be.
My mother and father danced the Peabody. They looked so nice and smooth they r gone now but I remember them so well when I hear this music. I'm 81 ty for memory
Mom was born in 1931 and had a music scholarship. She was a singer. She has senile demential. I take her to the park every Saturday to watch the dogs in the dog park and feed the ducks and geese. This is the perfect soundtrack for Mom's Day. She enjoys this nostalgic music. Thank you.
90's kid here, never imagine that I would appreciate this kind of music, music from 1920-1940 has its own unique charm and I must say that its very relaxing and calming.
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, so music from the 20s and 30s is well before my time, but I have developed a little trick using Goldwave audio editor (or any other audio editor should also work) which brings new life to those old recordings. It is simply a matter of converting a single track monaural recording into a two track audio file with two duplicate monaural tracks. Then, just select one of the parallel tracks (can be left or right) and zoom in to the first second of the recording. Then just delete 3/100 of a second from the silent portion at the beginning of one side of the two track monaural recording. You will be amazed at the results. If you listen to the recording on headsets, you will notice a 3-D, almost stereo effect. You will feel like the band or orchestra is all around you. I love listening to these pseudo-stereo versions of music from the 1920s. It's like going back in time and being able to listen to live performances of the music.
As a fellow 90's kid, you should feel so blessed to know this kind of music!! It's never played anymore yet it's some of the best music we, as HUMANS, have. I'm also partial to the 60's, so you may find some more old Joy there as well. :) Also just gotta say that Kate's God Bless America always gets me good... thinking about all of the soldiers who don't return home for one reason or another... So moving.
Being a School Resource Officer and cop for 25 years..We are limited to what music we can listen to at the front desk.. Kids ask, "what king of music is that.".. Only the best.. I reply
I'm 1 of these people that love all kinds of music starting way back in the 1900's. Yes actually I love it all , but my favorite is still vintage music of the 20s , 30s, 40s n 50s .Oh yes
My grandparents loved this stuff, my parents were born in the 60s, and think this is "old people" music. They love their Madonna and Van Halen and think it's so much better. After my grandparents passed, I was the only one left who listened to this :(
a tiny narrow view, there are some of us born in the 60's that don't call this olde people music. there are some of us that have a very broad appreciation for music from every era, you're not alone in the world.
@@maxamillion2140 I'm the only family left to listen to music of the 1st half of the 20th century. Often, while the music plays, I wish a friend was listening with me & 1 would say to the other, 'oh that was good, really nice. Let's listen to that again---right now'. I suggest youtube videos of Max Raab. His is an interesting story'.
I was born in 66, but my parents actually had record collections from this time. I was the only one in highschool that would listen to them. Yes it was very uncool and the kids would moan and roll eyes if such music played. Complaining it was boring. I also loved Madonna and ELO etc. Now to me this is great at Christmas time. Probably because of that Bing Crosby with Andrew Sisters Christmas album my parents had. Still though 80s pop I like better if I had to choose. My favorite period of this time is 1950 to 1955 just before rock hit the scene.
During COVID after my Mother passed away. Found her and my grandmothers diaries. I began writing how WWII effected my family in Oklahoma just outside of Ft Sill. To get in the mood look at the dates in the diaries then researched sings played on the radio from 1939 to 1945. Listening to them as a wrote the book was a great help.
I was born in 1940. My fondest memory is of listening to 'As Tim Goes By' from a radio that played from a radio that sat on the window sill as my mother and I worked in the garden that was nearby.
I was born 30 years later but I play 1940's music in my triple cream colored 2013, infiniti M37x. I agree it sounds better that crap music, oops I mean rap Music. 😀🙂🙃😃 I am a new subscriber.
Those thumb-downers are to be pitied. How miserable they must be to dislike this glorious music! My beautiful Momma could sing with the best of these, and was quite a dancer too. When she was young, she won jitterbug contests. I wish I could have seen her! Last thursday was her birthday, and she would have been 100 if she was still with us. I've been listening to "her" music all week, although she loved all kinds of music and dancing styles. She loved Michael Jackson, and one of the most adorable things I've ever seen was when I walked into the kitchen and caught her "moonwalking" to "Can't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". She was @ 70 at the time, and her dancing was better than I could ever do!
Mum getting ready to go to work making munitions. Dad working in the coal mine. Grandad in Home Guard uniform. Grandma in Fire Service control room. 2 uncles in the army ready to give Hitler a hard time. Well done everyone, this is for you.
My mom worked at Bonner and Beamish back in the 40's for 9 mind numbing yrs. She had a very appreciative attitude. She was paid $1.50 per hr which was good money in those days. Before, she delivered telegrams on her bicycle. She did have a thing for the sailor boys. One time she kept watching a sailor so much that she put too much air in the bicycles tire. Result, kaboom bye bye tire. Her job was too glue the bottom of paper bags.
I just repeated your story to my son's. I have fam in VA, PA and parts of the Carolinas and Maryland too. Daddy was in WW2 and joined the Army in 1934 30 yrs a dogface...not many who can talk like you! I am 57 and heard first hand war stories and of the depression back East. Bless your heart thanks for your post!❤
I was an 80s kid and 90s teen. I learned about this music from my grandfather, may He Rest in Peace, he passed away when I had just turned 13 but by that young age he had thought me more history than any book about the time of his childhood and youth in the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s.
Wonderful! Many songs I recognize since my parents played them on the record player when I was a child. I listen to music like this when I' m cooking and I have the family over!
Why do we have to badmouth newer music just to emphasize that we love older music? I'd venture to say that folks who grew up a few generations before WWII said music from the 40's and 50's was trash. Let's just like what we like and not badmouth what others like. That said, I love this music!
23 yrs old. These playlist make me feel so calm and happy. Thank you for making something so awesome. Makes me honestly feel like i have been missing a part of myself from a time i never lived. Old spirit i guess
My Grandma's Going To Be 101, this is her music (this and big band) she still talks about swing dancing with my grandfather and the whole era...I listen mesmerized of an era that's so foreign from now... innocent and delightful and then this plays and it becomes what black and white movies are made from. Thank you 🥰❤🌹
I ain’t old or anything I’m only 15 but the 1940s will always be my favourite time period for music. Just love the way it sounds much more compared to modern music
The 1930's is my favorite decade for women's fashion, and the '30's and '40's are my fave decades for music, although I must say that Burt Bacharach kicked out some musical gems in the '60's and '70's, may he rest in peace.
GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS , PARDON MON ANGLAIS EST VRAIMENT RÉDUIT , MAIS CETTE MUSIQUE EST MAGNIFIQUE LA JEUNESSE DE MON PAPA ADORAIT IL FOU DE GLENN MILLER ET MOI AUSSI , J AI EU 60 ANS MAIS JE CONTINUE LE SWING THANTS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 FOR YOU MERCI BEAUCOUP DE FRANCE .🌹🌴🥀⚘🌻🌼🌺🇨🇵🌲🌷🍀🦋🌹🌴🥀⚘🌼🇨🇵🌲🌲🌷🍀🦋
When I hear this music its a kind of being with these people who lived in that era like my grandpa's and grandma's. They loved to dance and have their romantics .................
Thank you!!!! My favorite kind of music, especially these days when the world is going crazy. These songs helped the world get through World War 2. They are gorgeous!
LOVE THIS MUSIC! I AM A SINGER AND I HAVE SUNG SO MANY OF THESE SONGS. I USED TO ENTERTAIN IN NURSING HOMES AND SENIOR RESIDENCES. AND, I AM IN MY 8TH DECADE SO I WAS OLDER THAN MANY OF THE RESIDENTS! BUT THEY LOVED THIS MUSIC!! MELODY, GREAT LYRICS AND ORCHESTRAL ACCOMPANIENT! THANK YOU "RUclips" FOR THIS GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO TODAY'S LISTNERS!
As a kid, when my dad drove us anywhere, he listened on the radio to this musical genre, and because he grew up in NYC in the late 10's and 20's, he listened to opera, Caruso having won the hearts of most Americans at that time. Imagine that, a guy with a 6th grade education listening to opera, big band, crooners, and weirdly, immigrant ethnic radio programs. Of course, all the way through the early 60's the US saw itself as a welcoming melting pot, outside of the KKK and leftovers from the Know Nothing Party.
I'm an 80's kid. Grew up in Rockaway Beach NY. I remember hearing this kind of music being played at the beach when the folks from the nursing homes along the shore would go for their outings. They would do exercises and dances to this music, and I remember thinking "this is music from looney tunes". Im in my 40's now and I find this music to bring back memories of my childhood and something about it that just melts all anxiety and worries away. Love this music.
What a beautiful romantic and full of hope era in the midst of world war 2 horrors, reflected in this music. Thanks to the one who shared this piece of history.
Every October 20 we celebrate the Leyte Landing of 1944, in Tacloban City and nearby towns, and we play all these fabulous music. Thanks for the memories, OP. More power to you! .
Ink Spots! LOVE them. Grew up listening to my mom's LPs & Ink Spots were her favorites. How can you resist that bass singer??? Actually got to see them live many years ago.
I grew up listening to this music being played on late night television commercials for a group of albums you could buy in installment payments ... yes, albums! I think it was advertised in magazines also. It's a bit older than the music my parents' rocked to, and too new for my grandparents to have enjoyed. Many fond memories!
I grew up with these records, my mom loved music of all kinds, all the way up to the 80's when she died. I love these great artists of the period. Excellent Entertainment for Every Era.
What a marvelous year 194O must have been. The Great Depression had finally pretty much drifted away by this time & war wasn't in the scenerio until late 1941. If only it could have lasted in a kind of time warp....
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. My homeland at that time suffered greatly from the invasion from both sides from the west and the east, two totalitarian states.
I was born in 1953 and discovered this music in the late 1960's from 78's held by my mother, stepfather and grandfather. It's been part of my life ever since. I'd especially like to thank you for including different versions of the same song by different artists. That makes for some interesting comparisons!
Lo mismo que ocurre con la música clásica, porqué no se hace lo mismo con ésta música, que es música y es clásica? Y a la vez se destierra a toda la basura que se escucha hoy en día?
Great content! Wonderful lovely classical music songs is amazing! Best soothing the mind n heart. Peace and love while listening to this awesome video! Perfect!🎶💖

I love listening to these pseudo-stereo versions of music from the 1920s. It's like going back in time and being able to listen to live performances of the music.
As a fellow 90's kid, you should feel so blessed to know this kind of music!! It's never played anymore yet it's some of the best music we, as HUMANS, have. I'm also partial to the 60's, so you may find some more old Joy there as well. :)
Also just gotta say that Kate's God Bless America always gets me good... thinking about all of the soldiers who don't return home for one reason or another... So moving.
I'm probably the youngest one watching this video lmao im a 2000s kid
I was 9.....only AM radio stations to play all these great old songs.....loved the radio.
I was 2 years old during the latter part of this great musical era.
Blsss both of you!
Being a School Resource Officer and cop for 25 years..We are limited to what music we can listen to at the front desk.. Kids ask, "what king of music is that.".. Only the best.. I reply
I'm 1 of these people that love all kinds of music starting way back in the 1900's. Yes actually I love it all , but my favorite is still vintage music of the 20s , 30s, 40s n 50s .Oh yes
Every once in a while I come around to this type of music. It brings me to a very still place in my life. A very peaceful, uncluttered place.
My grandparents loved this stuff, my parents were born in the 60s, and think this is "old people" music. They love their Madonna and Van Halen and think it's so much better. After my grandparents passed, I was the only one left who listened to this :(
a tiny narrow view, there are some of us born in the 60's that don't call this olde people music. there are some of us that have a very broad appreciation for music from every era, you're not alone in the world.
@@RIXRADvidz yeah i know, thanks. It just sucks when I'm the only one in my family who appreciates it.
@@maxamillion2140 I'm the only family left to listen to music of the 1st half of the 20th century. Often, while the music plays, I wish a friend was listening with me & 1 would say to the other, 'oh that was good, really nice. Let's listen to that again---right now'. I suggest youtube videos of Max Raab. His is an interesting story'.
I was born in 66, but my parents actually had record collections from this time. I was the only one in highschool that would listen to them. Yes it was very uncool and the kids would moan and roll eyes if such music played. Complaining it was boring. I also loved Madonna and ELO etc. Now to me this is great at Christmas time. Probably because of that Bing Crosby with Andrew Sisters Christmas album my parents had. Still though 80s pop I like better if I had to choose. My favorite period of this time is 1950 to 1955 just before rock hit the scene.
I am 86 and love this music
I've just discovered Artie Shaw! My m8s laugh but I prefer music from the 20s-50s great stuff.
I'm 71 and this is my all time favorite music.
During COVID after my Mother passed away. Found her and my grandmothers diaries. I began writing how WWII effected my family in Oklahoma just outside of Ft Sill. To get in the mood look at the dates in the diaries then researched sings played on the radio from 1939 to 1945. Listening to them as a wrote the book was a great help.
I was born in 1942 and this kind of music have been part of my life since than.
I was born in 1940. My fondest memory is of listening to 'As Tim Goes By' from a radio that played from a radio that sat on the window sill as my mother and I worked in the garden that was nearby.
I was born 30 years later but I play 1940's music in my triple cream colored 2013, infiniti M37x. I agree it sounds better that crap music, oops I mean rap Music. 😀🙂🙃😃

Old school rap music is amazing too, you can appreciate a genre without putting down another. That's childish of you
This music is just totally the BEST ! I am 80.
I can see my parents and godparents dancing to this in heaven right now. Too the 25 who put thumbs down get therapy.
Those thumb-downers are to be pitied. How miserable they must be to dislike this glorious music! My beautiful Momma could sing with the best of these, and was quite a dancer too. When she was young, she won jitterbug contests. I wish I could have seen her!
Last thursday was her birthday, and she would have been 100 if she was still with us. I've been listening to "her" music all week, although she loved all kinds of music and dancing styles.
She loved Michael Jackson, and one of the most adorable things I've ever seen was when I walked into the kitchen and caught her "moonwalking" to "Can't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". She was @ 70 at the time, and her dancing was better than I could ever do!
aah the old disike button deactivated but I agree fantastic music!!!
Who is listening on this gems this hot Summer day? ❤❤❤❤❤ to all of you!!!
Mum getting ready to go to work making munitions. Dad working in the coal mine. Grandad in Home Guard uniform. Grandma in Fire Service control room. 2 uncles in the army ready to give Hitler a hard time. Well done everyone, this is for you.
What vivid memories...and so evocative, that it's easy to bring these images to mind...
From Spain. .. love classics.....NEVER Been to USA .......IS IT PRETTY OVER THERE??
My mom worked at Bonner and Beamish back in the 40's for 9 mind numbing yrs. She had a very appreciative attitude. She was paid $1.50 per hr which was good money in those days. Before, she delivered telegrams on her bicycle.
She did have a thing for the sailor boys. One time she kept watching a sailor so much that she put too much air in the bicycles tire. Result, kaboom bye bye tire. Her job was too glue the bottom of paper bags.
I just repeated your story to my son's. I have fam in VA, PA and parts of the Carolinas and Maryland too. Daddy was in WW2 and joined the Army in 1934 30 yrs a dogface...not many who can talk like you! I am 57 and heard first hand war stories and of the depression back East. Bless your heart thanks for your post!❤
Ah yes, how wonderful wartime is. Lovely indeed... *sarcasm*
Born in '49 I love this music
1944 for me.
@@ianwilkinson4602 1936 for me
Ohh God, I am 68, my mom told me so much of this Era. She was working in factory making grenades. A time when Americans were true to our country.
I was an 80s kid and 90s teen. I learned about this music from my grandfather, may He Rest in Peace, he passed away when I had just turned 13 but by that young age he had thought me more history than any book about the time of his childhood and youth in the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s.
I graduated in 1986. My high school science teacher gave me an A for listening to big band music and that I knew who Benny Goodman was......
I was four years old in July 1940. This is the music that was background of my childhood. I still love it.
I’m 35 and New to this music but I love it. Would have loved to have been born in this era. Men were Men and Women were Women
I thought Gen X also were "normal", its only Gen Z where everyone tries to mix things up and people dont even know what a woman and man is anymore lol
Thanks man I'm 35 years old and I love this music people said that I'm an old soul
be weary of label makers.your just a independent person WORLD is what you make of it dont blame no one but you.....
Wonderful! Many songs I recognize since my parents played them on the record player when I was a child. I listen to music like this when I' m cooking and I have the family over!
I really love “I’ll never smile again” and “whispering grass”
That tenor for The Ink Spots❤
These songs are 10,000 times better than 90% of the songs since 1960.
You ain't kiddin'.
Why do we have to badmouth newer music just to emphasize that we love older music? I'd venture to say that folks who grew up a few generations before WWII said music from the 40's and 50's was trash. Let's just like what we like and not badmouth what others like.
That said, I love this music!
23 yrs old. These playlist make me feel so calm and happy. Thank you for making something so awesome. Makes me honestly feel like i have been missing a part of myself from a time i never lived. Old spirit i guess
Same feeling!
@@miahill6864 gotta love it it doesn't even feel like classics honestly just a normal sense
Same im 20 but it does feel strangely nostalgic
I wish my mother could here this collection. She was addicted to Swing music of this time
My Grandma's Going To Be 101, this is her music (this and big band) she still talks about swing dancing with my grandfather and the whole era...I listen mesmerized of an era that's so foreign from now... innocent and delightful and then this plays and it becomes what black and white movies are made from. Thank you 🥰❤🌹
This is not music of your gramma. This is music of the wold
@@n19ns Yes I understand, I meant this was the music she loved from her era, not her personal music🌹
@@rhondalynch6969 I am 87,when I was 4 is when radio started playing,and I love radio enjoy Ed.
This is beautiful beautiful music in the 1940 and I enjoy playing music at that time Ed 😊😊😊😊.
This is beautiful beautiful music video and I love it playing when I was 5 ,the radio play from a car battery at the time Ed.
I ain’t old or anything I’m only 15 but the 1940s will always be my favourite time period for music. Just love the way it sounds much more compared to modern music
I'm old but still love this music. Too bad u didn't live in this Era or at least visit it
Romantic
I’m the exact same, I’m also 15
Bro is 15😂
The 1930's is my favorite decade for women's fashion, and the '30's and '40's are my fave decades for music, although I must say that Burt Bacharach kicked out some musical gems in the '60's and '70's, may he rest in peace.
GOOD MORNING MY FRIENDS , PARDON MON ANGLAIS EST VRAIMENT RÉDUIT , MAIS CETTE MUSIQUE EST MAGNIFIQUE LA JEUNESSE DE MON PAPA ADORAIT IL FOU DE GLENN MILLER ET MOI AUSSI , J AI EU 60 ANS MAIS JE CONTINUE LE SWING THANTS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 FOR YOU MERCI BEAUCOUP DE FRANCE .🌹🌴🥀⚘🌻🌼🌺🇨🇵🌲🌷🍀🦋🌹🌴🥀⚘🌼🇨🇵🌲🌲🌷🍀🦋
Tout va Bien!
When I hear this music its a kind of being with these people who lived in that era like my grandpa's and grandma's. They loved to dance and have their romantics .................
Thank you!!!! My favorite kind of music, especially these days when the world is going crazy. These songs helped the world get through World War 2. They are gorgeous!
This is when they made beautiful music.
I’m 71 love this music so much thanks to my parents ❤❤
LOVE THIS MUSIC! I AM A SINGER AND I HAVE SUNG SO MANY OF THESE SONGS. I USED TO ENTERTAIN IN NURSING HOMES AND SENIOR RESIDENCES. AND, I AM IN MY 8TH DECADE SO I WAS OLDER THAN MANY OF THE RESIDENTS! BUT THEY LOVED THIS MUSIC!! MELODY, GREAT LYRICS AND ORCHESTRAL ACCOMPANIENT! THANK YOU "RUclips" FOR THIS GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO TODAY'S LISTNERS!
I'm addicted to old music
So beautiful. I hope one day we could make this music once again. Thank you for these works of art.
As a kid, when my dad drove us anywhere, he listened on the radio to this musical genre, and because he grew up in NYC in the late 10's and 20's, he listened to opera, Caruso having won the hearts of most Americans at that time. Imagine that, a guy with a 6th grade education listening to opera, big band, crooners, and weirdly, immigrant ethnic radio programs. Of course, all the way through the early 60's the US saw itself as a welcoming melting pot, outside of the KKK and leftovers from the Know Nothing Party.
Ya! Goose bumps 😆 70's kid here grew up with these records. Mom kept us in the 40's/50's somehow until 89 😁 1989 that is

40's and 50's music gives me such a good feeling ❤
This is beautiful back in 1940 things were very good at that time
I'm an 80's kid. Grew up in Rockaway Beach NY. I remember hearing this kind of music being played at the beach when the folks from the nursing homes along the shore would go for their outings. They would do exercises and dances to this music, and I remember thinking "this is music from looney tunes". Im in my 40's now and I find this music to bring back memories of my childhood and something about it that just melts all anxiety and worries away. Love this music.
What a beautiful romantic and full of hope era in the midst of world war 2 horrors, reflected in this music. Thanks to the one who shared this piece of history.
I miss when songs had more than one note.
you're probably bitter about a lot of things.
Every October 20 we celebrate the Leyte Landing of 1944, in Tacloban City and nearby towns, and we play all these fabulous music.
Thanks for the memories, OP.
More power to you!
.
Ink Spots! LOVE them. Grew up listening to my mom's LPs & Ink Spots were her favorites. How can you resist that bass singer??? Actually got to see them live many years ago.
saw them on my 21st birthday
@@christinaross2554 Awesome, they're so great. My fav To Each His Own.
The Sun is setting and a Full Moon is rising.
Listening to the songs I use to hear on AM Radio long ago. ❤️🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🤗👍
born in '74 and loving this -- 1920s - 1940s big band, jazz, Americana
Makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t born in ^_^
Allá por los años 60'. escuchaba radio 620 gozaba la sección del hit parade
I listen to these beautiful and wonderful songs almost every day.
The "big bands" fabulous!
This is beautiful music video and I love playing it all this music video and I enjoy playing it all this day enjoy Ed.
I love this music, hopefully it will last for many years to come!
Not the way it's looking currently. It'll be censored/deleted and called racists by the Marxists haters of our once great country and culture.
On 78's and some 33 LP's, if you can find a good record player.
¡que música señores! Gracias por conservar este tesoro GRACIAS.
I love The Big Band Music
Oh my god!!!. The 40's were real!!!!
I grew up listening to this music being played on late night television commercials for a group of albums you could buy in installment payments ... yes, albums! I think it was advertised in magazines also. It's a bit older than the music my parents' rocked to, and too new for my grandparents to have enjoyed. Many fond memories!
I grew up with these records, my mom loved music of all kinds, all the way up to the 80's when she died. I love these great artists of the period. Excellent Entertainment for Every Era.
I usually see you on Countdown and Wilty videos! 😆 Nice to see you here as well!
Classical Tunes! Are you going to do a Christmas playlist? xxxx
Yes, it's on the way 😁

@@skeeterwayne what movies would you recommend. I really would love to watch some.
Youre 20 now like me, I been listening to these type of songs since 18 and its actually good
What a marvelous year 194O must have been. The Great Depression had finally pretty much drifted away by this time & war wasn't in the scenerio until late 1941. If only it could have lasted in a kind of time warp....

The 20s were great too before the depression.
@@skeeterwayne Oh, i do and they're great!
@@libertyann439 Very True: 1928 era was a fine time for Americans to live
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. My homeland at that time suffered greatly from the invasion from both sides from the west and the east, two totalitarian states.
You have just made my 90 years old parents so happy hearing this beautiful music 😔 thanks so much 🤗🤟
I was born in 1953 and discovered this music in the late 1960's from 78's held by my mother, stepfather and grandfather. It's been part of my life ever since. I'd especially like to thank you for including different versions of the same song by different artists. That makes for some interesting comparisons!
YIKES my favorite kind of tunes.
This kind of music is my first choice to pickup in every dayy, even though I’m a hip hop producer still and always love this vibe 🙏🏻🤙🏼

A wonderful collection. And I wonder why it took me 2½ years to stumble across it.
we're immortalizing their music today
What an incredible sound! Timeless! 💜
Pure instruments, not electronics. Definitely a difference.
Their voices are so soothing and surprisingly the static makes it better💛
Lo mismo que ocurre con la música clásica, porqué no se hace lo mismo con ésta música, que es música y es clásica? Y a la vez se destierra a toda la basura que se escucha hoy en día?
Wonderful music 🎼🎵🎶💖
Thank you for bring the greatest music back
WONDERFUL MUSIC I WAS BORN IN 1945
I was brought up on this 🎶 ty for reminding me how great it was
the best of music!
1930's and 40's had real music
This is beyond fantastic!
Amazing collection..
Thanks! I really enjoyed it while I was having my dinner.
This is so relaxing to listen to this
Great content! Wonderful lovely classical music songs is amazing! Best soothing the mind n heart. Peace and love while listening to this awesome video! Perfect!🎶💖
Glenn Miller will always be my favorite swing musician. Bought the original recordings vinyl set, and it sounds SO GOOD
