    Muzak is an American brand of background music played in retail stores and other public establishments. The name has been in use since 1934, and has been owned by a division or subsidiary of another company ever since. In 1981, Westinghouse bought the company and ran it until selling it to the Fields Company of Chicago, publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times, on September 8, 1986. Formerly owned by Muzak Holdings, the brand was purchased in 2011 by Mood Media in a deal worth US$345 million. Muzak was based in various Seattle, Washington locations from 1986 to 1999, after which it moved its headquarters to South Carolina in 2000.
    The word Muzak has been a registered trademark since December 21, 1954, of Muzak LLC, although it dominated the market for so many years that the term is often used (especially when used with lowercase spelling) as a generic term for all background music. The term Muzak is - at least in the United States - often used for most forms of background music, regardless of its source. It may also be referred to as "elevator music" or "lift music". Though Muzak Holdings was for many years the best-known supplier of background music, and is commonly associated with elevator music, the company itself did not supply music to elevators. Since 1997, Muzak has used original artists for its music, except on its Environmental channel.

    I'm french, but I always dreamed of living in an american seventies film or TV series :) I never get tired of watching episodes of "Starsky and Hutch" or "Charlie's Angels" (even the "Love Boat" LOL) for the light, the music, the people, the fashion, and the scripts with always a happy ending and the heroes laughing :) All of this (was) is soooooooooooooo cool :) I can't take a time machine to go to America in the past, but I would like my life to have a soundtrack made by Lalo Schifrin :)

      Naw, you French could never tolerate the kind of food they served on the Love Boat. No wine, no mineral water, frozen 'Chicken Fricassée' heated up in a microwave, red hot on the outside, still cold on the inside, and refried beans.
      Campbells soup, peas & carrots stored in giant tin drums, sloppy joe's, "Stoffer's delish fish dish", apple pie for dessert that tastes like a gooey sticky mess of synthetic ingredients.
      Children with sticky fingers running around the tables, eating and talking with their mouths open. I'll stop here because you've already, no doubt, vomited up your entire stomach. I don't want to give you the dry heaves. I'm stopping here in the interests of maintaining good Franco-American relations.
      Now Paris, back in the 1920-1938 period, THAT would have been a really great time-machine destination. As long as you were rich. Over on the SS Normandie, returning later, on the RMS Queen Mary.

      so let's start a pen pal ring. my kids did this a couple years ago when we joined a home school group. we found pen pals from all over the world. coordinated by the parents of course, no funny business... theirs was in england. they had fun writing letters and sending little care packages to each other. other friends sent postcards.
      even when the internet was just beginning to heat up in the 90s with AOL instant messengers and "you got mail!" i still got a huge kick out of sending and receiving letters from friends i'd met online. i am still friends with one of those persons all these years later. It was good practice for when my two best friends moved away to the other side of the country.
      it's not perfect but the mail system still works. just pick someone and send them a note :) they will probably be tickled pink to see it.

      You’re confusing nostalgia for “better times”. It’s likely YOUTH you miss. To be sure we lived during fat times (post war)…where our parents had to work REAL HARD to not buy a house.
      I will sometimes use my phone to call a friend in Europe while cruising down the freeway at 80 mph at 2:00 in the morning while my car drives itself. It means nothing anymore because it’s mundane. Then, I’ll stop and recharge my car and use my dashboard microwave to heat my coffee. Stupid…but NOT TOO BAD!

I think it just adds a more pleasurable ambiance to the whole shopping experience, which is pretty much dull and mundane thanks to everyone being in my way due to their paying more attention to their smartphones instead of where they are going.

      Sunken living rooms only made sense for "grooving in", if you were a cool enough pickup artist to fill the sunken part up with stewardesses and cocktail waitresses. You'd gotta be an astronaut like Roger Healy, or a ski instructor, test pilot, life guard, rock star, game show host, ad man, or a hippie cult leader.
      Its a well known, scientific fact that 85% of sunken living rooms constructed were owned by assistant district supermarket managers, and junior high school gym teachers. And any chicks that ended up there were divorced moms with BDP, or underaged runaways.

    It's the sound of going shopping with Mom and Dad in the early to mid 70s, which sis and I did. Saturday was a ritual. First, the Jr. Varsity off Lindbergh Avenue (Atlanta) for chili dogs and homemade onion rings par excellence and then to the adjacent KMart, which had two levels and so big metal escalators. Dad would depart for sporting goods while mom looked at fabric or home goods. Sis and I often hid in the round dress racks. We'd run to the Blue Light Special to see if it was worth gawking at. There would sometimes be a cherry/Coke swirl Slushie or popcorn on the way out. These were the happiest times of my life.

    While this music didn't play at her and my uncle's house, it brings me back there. I miss them every day, and this is a nice little thing here that brings me back. Thank you.

We were skint and someone offered them to us for free. Well not for free, my father agreed to do a small painting job for the woman who had them. He also removed them from her house and installed them in ours.
    Anyway, the year was 2008 and we had that kitchen. Go into old peoples homes and I promise you you will still come across these old kitchens. They may not have been pretty but my god they were built to LAST!

That building was razed about ten years ago for a McMansion but they can't take away my memories.

    I so remember this music & Every last photo featured here. The 70's was a very different time & I cant find anything remotely resembling the way it use to be.
    This muzak I remember played everywhere & it has a breezing happy vibe to it. I absolutely hate todays synthetic music tones & so glad I stumbled upon this video. I maybe playing this way more often than anything else & I think it might have to do with it being Orchestrated & no words & this seems to help me visualize things way better without words getting in the way to express a feeling when music without Lyrics does way more for the fabrication of an image vs words that are usually sad or not befitting the mood we maybe in.
    I very much enjoyed this video & am now subscribed & shared this with my young nephew who has a serious attraction to the 70's, he even bought sever antique cars from the 70's which is very surprising to see for someone so young. It was my nephew that helped me through a breakdown & he used his attraction of the 70's as a template to help me remember all that I had long forgotten by means of association visually & of course music & LOADS of unending questions & it was so good to remember those times & share it with someone of this generation. It was a really happy trip for both of us.

      Via my parents I was brought up on muzak in the 60s/70s, and much later found out that a good deal of what I'd heard on the radio back then had actually been original and cover arrangements by a "stable" of British composers who generated "stock music" for general use. I only found that out when I became curious of about the music used in mid-60's super-hero cartoons in the US. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the music used in the original Submariner, Thor, etc., cartoons were composed by Brit composer Trevor Duncan _and_ that the music was very likely performed by German instrumentalists while in Germany due to a strike in the UK!

    I really enjoyed the stores of the late 50’s 60’s and early 70’s in Beverly Hills, along Wilshire Blvd, in Hollywood, and Century City mall area. It was peaceful, quiet, classy, and stylish. I grew up there, had a great education and job. Living was affordable. It wasn’t crowded with so many people, or over developed. I just avoided the angry and bitter attitudes people can have. It wasn’t perfect, but it was by far more positive than it is today. People were polite and friendly. Everyone had a chance when they prepared for the life they wanted, and worked for it.

      I'm an early gen-x. I remember the 60s being a pretty damned good decade. Most Americans were still patriotic and felt good about their country. People dressed more stylishly, cars were way better, gas was .20 cents/gallon, most kids were still polite and respectful.
      There was a feeling of security and contentment that rapidly vanished as the 70s came along. 1968 scared the crap out of everyone, and crime rose. Later, they started putting polyester in all our cloths, everything felt like it was getting deliberately uglier.
      Industry started catering more to teenagers and less to children. All the cool violent cartoons got taken off the air, Then, came the energy crisis, horrible inflation, and urban decay. New York went from Mayor Lindseeds "fun city" to the city depicted in the 1976 movie, 'Taxi Driver'. The kids were not alright. Nobody cared anymore.

These songs featured here would be mixed in with some selections from Mantovani (he of the soaring strings). They were staples of easy listening radio, and to me, that WAS FM back in the day. That all changed when FM gained in popularity and other formats made their presences known.
