Really great times for me loved dancing so much excellent music made me feel so happy they were such amazing days thank you will share with my friends ❤😂😊🎉❤🎉
Now a 76 year man, hearing some of them oldies brings a tear to my eye...for me the golden years the late 50s and through the 60s was the best ever times with the greatest music ever.❤❤❤
I'm 75 & still listen to these songs. Bring back do many memories. I lived through them & still listen to them in 2024. Today's music can't beat nor win them.
people used to always dress in decent clothes. i guess we could afford to buy good clothing back then. i dont know, or perhaps the outlaw bikers and hippies just made us crazy, but then again what was the deal with the feminists. back then i remember dogs did run free and we allowed them some reproductive freedom, and kids got to play with puppies and there wern't so many dog breeders. i think live was much better. i'm just waiting 4 jesus to call me join him in heaven.
@@patriciajrs46 ... warum die Hose hochzieht.....!!! wichtig ist und war immer, das eine nette junge Frau sich schoen darstellt... als Mann habe Ich mich in all den Jahren auch nie als Idiot dargestellt oder gekleidet... und viele Frauen waren begeistert und dankbar... Punkt... ...
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music... times when everything was much more relaxed. Back then you could still talk about dancing. It really had its charms. Big contrast to today's society...! Chris Montez... pure youth sentiment...!
I was born 62. 85 was when I entered university. I don’t look back on queuing at the post office every month to pay the bills… And playlists are a bit better than trying to hit the song you liked with the recorder pickup. And hey, the world was supposed to go under in a nuclear war before the year 2000, the Cold War was on. But ok, the 90’s were great.
What is nice is you can enjoy the music even now. I do pottery at a studio, and I am one of the older ones. Many in their 20s know a lot of the songs I enjoyed, and even before my time. It makes it fun.
I wonder what the teenagers nowadays do at a part? Maybe some of them sit down and "play" with their smart phones while others smoke their brains out and 1/3 get intoxicated either with alcohol or with drugs or both ... that's very sad ... .
No guitar needed! Just a hard thumping drum, a rockin' organ and Chris Montez's voice! I loved it when I first heard it in 1962, and still love it today. I miss the old days. They may have had their bad times, but they aren't as crazy as they are now.
@@AlanSmith-ym8pj We checked out Wikipedia and found the original lineup: Joel Hill on guitar, Ray Johnson on Philicorda organ, Ray Pohlman on bass guitar and Jesse Sailes on drums. The dominant drumming of Sailes and Johnson on the organ practically fade out Hill's rhythmn guitar. It is there, keeping rhythmn with the drums, but hardly anyone would notice. While there is no biographical information on Mr. Hill or Mr. Johnson, Jessie Sailes (1919-2007) was a drummer who played on many hit records during the 1940's and '50's. Ray Pohlman--born Merlyn Ray Pohlman (1930-1990) was a member of the well known session group The Wrecking Crew and was a bass guitarist for various artists from Sam Cooke to The Beach Boys. Check Wikipedia for a full list. Thanks for the correction, mate! I learned something I never knew before.
To be technical the guitarist isn't pressing fully down on the frets. so it has an almost percussive sound which makes it harder to recognise as a guitar
I'm 73 now and the only music I can listen to is from the 60s what a fantastic decade.i watch and listen and remember the great times when everyone was well dressed without studs in their faces and other crap , what a great country it was then,miss it so much all the best to all the 60s people enjoy remembering the fantastic days
I've tried to live life as it comes--74 now. I didn't want to sound like my parents living in the forties all the time. But when I watched this today, I got the first feeling that it was much better then and that I would give anything to be there. Anywhere other than where we've wound up with all the technology, rap un-music, entitled people, millennials, outspoken idiots, etc. I haven't bought an album since the 80s. That's when they stopped making music.
I wish those kind of music were still being made....good old days i miss the music of the 50s. Was a teen in the early 60s. Thank you for bringing back memories,..sob!!!
A lady I used to work with told me stories from when she was a teenager in the early 60s. You’d invite kids over from school and have “record parties.” Everyone would bring a few singles and dance. Kind of like in this video. New sound, new dances, and just innocent fun. The 60s were in no way perfect, but I always longed to have been able to grow up back then. Even as a child when TLC and Boys II Men were huge, I still preferred my oldies station and listening to my grandma tell nostalgic stories. ☺️ So many great hits!
I remember these songs from the 60ties and the 50ties ,these were the best years to live in, the music was great and so we're people back then. These songs bring back so many good memories for me. Would I go back to these days if I could? YES,!!! ♥️
@@sharonrebibo6015 Don’t know about safe ! Children were seen but not heard. Pediphiles got away with everything because children were thought to have overactive imagination
Even at age 69, that drum intro gets my feet going. One of my wife's favourite tracks; they used to play it at a weekly disco we attended in the early seventies. It was old then, but it still filled the floor!
I loved this and bought the 45 when I was 13 in junior high back home in the Bronx I can still remember dancing to this with my girl at a school dance with a lot people crowded around us clapping back in the day Those days are gone for good Still got it although packed away, after all with you-tube anything you want to hear is a few seconds away
In the early 60's, we would go to a local amusement park. Friday night was coke a COLA night and we take our bottle caps to pay for the rides. There as a famous ballroom when the big bands would play there but in the 60's rock n roll bands played. I was in my preteens then and this band would play Hang On Sloopy they were The McCoys. The dance craze was the STOMP. Packed ballroom stomping to the beat of Hang On Sloopy. Best time of my life.

Actually, I knew we were living during a special time. However, Uncle Sam, had a different plan for me. So I ended up missing out somewhat. However, I've been involved in the MJ style, hip hop, and, Scottish Country Dance, in recent years, and I'm almost 72 years old.
Me & my brother used to play my mums Chris Montez LP on 75bpm. It made us laugh so much. This song will always remind me of them both. 20yrs this July my mum passed and 10yrs have come & gone since my brother passed. This song still makes me smile as it brings back great memories as a young kid.
He was an amazing person.even though his song made me cry because whenever I get a notification for this song I love it because it helps me recall my late wife of which tears run down my eyes how are you today? Well, my name is Harvey can we Be friend🌺🌺
It is nice to see the young people back then dance to the music it was so lively and they were so happy, all races and colors together, something that is kind of rare in a way today.
This is masterful! The talent it took to put this all together boggles the old mind. Great music. I have played it a dozen times, as I lived through those eras and recall the movies. We will never see the likes of them again.
As an 17 year old student at College at Walthamstow London, I had tickets to see Chris Montez , Tommy Roe and the Beatles on 9 March 1963 at the Granada East Ham. My girlfriend and I attended a great concert which stayed in my heart being a great fan of all three, ln December1988 flying on Concorde from London to Barbados my Norwegian wife and l sat by Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, who, like ourselves were going to Mustique. We were to stay with our friend Basil Charles the owner of Basils Bar Mustique as on 7 January 1989 we had exclusively booked a celebration of my wife's 40th birthday party attended Ringo, Barbara and Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. Mick and l shared an architect who designed both our villas
Buenas noches, gracias por compartir tan hermosa canción, vaya que me hubiera encantado vivir esa época en la que la juventud se divertía de manera muy sana, en la que los padres de verdad educaban con energía a sus hijos, a mí y a mis herman@s todavía nos tocó la buena educación gracias a Dios, pero actualmente las familias son un desorden y por ende los hijos son una pudrición por culpa de sus padres...saludos y bendiciones para todos ustedes del canal, sus familias y todos sus seguidores!!
les années 60 c était une époque formidable en 60 j avais 12 ans on dansait on s amuser il y avait moins de contraintes que maintenant mais enfin c est la vie Claude progni
Loved watching this. I probably watched this live when I was a kid. "9th Street West." I recognized Sam Riddle, the KHJ "boss jock" radio station disk jockey from L.A., who hosted the dance show I think almost every weekday afternoon during the early 1960s, moving through the crowd and sending couples out to the center of the dance floor. I remember Chris Montez as a guest more than once on the show.
The boogie moves and energy are contagious! Not being of this generation Mr. Montez is heard of in many generational performers. This banger among many of his others are simply magnificent🎉 Bravo
Where in Scotland? I'm just curious because that is one of the places I have wanted to visit my whole life because supposedly that's where my family originated. There and Ireland. I have no family here anymore. They are all gone hopefully to a better place! I danced a lot back in the day as well but not so much anymore. If I would have known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself! 🙃 It is funny because it's true.
@@irenecarhart I am from a Scots/Irish family,my grandfather moved here as he was on the run,he was to be executed by firing squad,my grandfather was fighting the British after they burnt the family farm down looking for weapons (that were not there) sadly this activity by British forces made young lads in Ireland join the IRA in the late part of the 20th century.My grandfather told me he had to fight back in some way at the family having the farm burnt down,I can't argue with that...I felt really sad when you said you had no family...tell you what Irene,after a recent car accident I prob will be joining you up in the great dancehall in the sky my family is your family and I hope youl have that dance with me..ps the place in Scotland where I was brought up is a little town called Falkirk....best wishes Sean
Oh, we were having a lot of fun.. Everybody would get together, just girls and practice with our records... Then we would cook up a bunch of goodies and bake some cakes and invite the boys for a good dance party... often....Cuero, Texas. 1961-1971... Too much fun... DeWitt County.....Go Gobblers
I always wondered why someone didn't open seniors only/baby boomers dance clubs and just play only the baby boomer OLDIES. going to the city's or county senior citizens' dances is NOT the same as clubs (of course sans booze.) Wheelchairs, canes, walkers, etc welcome!🎈
It's too late! Those times will only live in the memories of those who lived in 1950s/60s. The World has now changed so much. However. us oldies can be taken back to those times whenever there is the music that we used to sing along with or dance to.
About 1:28 the young lady in the white top and dark skirt was definitely the queen of the ball. What a cutie. Great dancer, a pleasure to watch. I hope she is still alive and well with a house full grand kids and great grand kids. Those were great times...
No fatties: that’s because we didn’t have all the crap foods they serve up nowadays, nor did we have the extra cash to waste on fast food. Plus, we were always so busy that we didn’t just sit around and stuff our faces.
Wow! Going to the dance growing up and seeing these older ( seniors) girls with their perfect Breck Girl hair and sweater dresses just mesmerizing! God it was fun!
Hi - I'm interested to know just what 'Breck Girl' hairstyles are - was it eg like a 'Beehive', or the style of Tammy ( 'Stand by your Man' ) Whinette ?
I love this music my grandad always played 50s and 60s music when i was growing up and i am to be married this year september 2019 :) and i am thinking of having this brillant song, that i love so much as me and my partners first dance plus i think that would put a smile on my grandad and nans face get everyone up and dancing
This song was so popular that Chris's band was the headliner at shows in the United Kingdom, about 1962. This song was almost a forerunner to modern Pop and Rock music. The opening act was a growing, wannabe popular group called the Beatles. The Beatles had only released a few not very big or very popular single records by then. No albums. One of Chris's high school friends was Brian Wilson. Chris later helped out the Beach Boys with some of their songs. Chris also went to a Ritchie Valens concert to hear his idol sing, and actually accidentally bumped into and talked to Valens during a break at the show. A charmed life indeed !
I play bluegrass and was playing at an American Legion..My mom got up and was gliding across the floor with her 1950s style moves like these ladies and I had to tell some of the old men my mama was married lol..When I hear this old rock and roll music I think of her cause she listened to it all the time and danced lol
This brings back so many memories. I actually went to bandstand when they were here in California and got to know so many great people. I enjoy watching these because I am in my seventies
didn't we though. i'm 70 and my girls love to dance with me. jive, waltz, chalipso, pony. we have a great time at weddings, just not enough places to dance anymore.
One of my favourite dance tunes from the sixties. I remember dancing to it in the school hall in 1962 - the year of the big freeze in the UK. Or was it 1963? Long time ago!
+Ann TwoShoes I agree ,and the year of the big freeze was 1962 , as i was going out with my girl friend and we would sit for hours on my m/bike in the snow !
+Ann TwoShoes Yeah, the Big Freeze of the 1962-63 winter. Great times, back then, with such fabulous records in the charts, and lots more to come as the Sixties progressed.
Ann TwoShoes - As far as I can tell, this song was first released in the U.S.A. in June, 1962. The Big Freeze started in the U.K. around Christmas, 1962.

lo de ahora es contracultura.
These old songs have so much life and soul to them.They make you happy.
They sure do ❤

Here's a sobering thought. Teenage Chris is now 81 years old
I was born in 85. I'm so jealous of the older generation to live through this. Must of been amazing, such simpler times, no hassel, enjoying life.
I was born 62. 85 was when I entered university. I don’t look back on queuing at the post office every month to pay the bills… And playlists are a bit better than trying to hit the song you liked with the recorder pickup. And hey, the world was supposed to go under in a nuclear war before the year 2000, the Cold War was on. But ok, the 90’s were great.
I was born 1953 so the late 60s and 70s were the best eras for music for me as a teenager.
I was bore in 62 and I miss the 80’ the music was just amazing …remember the Disco!
Cheers 🇨🇦

Wow, this song takes me back in time and I feel 16 years old again. Those were innocent, fun, and carefree times.
Hello,how are you?
This song reached number 2 in the British Charts during October1962 It stayed in the charts for 18 weeks.

Music used to be so much fun. I was born in the late 60's so my mom listened to this so I listened to it as well.
If you were a teenager in the 60's, how could you keep from hanging on to this kind of music. Truly, rock and roll will never die!!!
Good music huh girl, fun to dance with.
no way!!!!

My husband just passed last week and he loved this music My heart breaks but I know he would be dancing to this.
My condolences, everything will be fine.
I wish you long life.
My sincerest condolences. It's hard.
PAMELA you were bless with the ♥️♥️ of your life may God be with you always
As an 17 year old student at College at Walthamstow London, I had tickets to see Chris Montez , Tommy Roe and the Beatles on 9 March 1963 at the Granada East Ham. My girlfriend and I attended a great concert which stayed in my heart being a great fan of all three, ln December1988 flying on Concorde from London to Barbados my Norwegian wife and l sat by Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, who, like ourselves were going to Mustique. We were to stay with our friend Basil Charles the owner of Basils Bar Mustique as on 7 January 1989 we had exclusively booked a celebration of my wife's 40th birthday party attended Ringo, Barbara and Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. Mick and l shared an architect who designed both our villas
Nothing like the 60’s. Listen to it every morning on Sirius 60’s gold. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of the greatest twist records ever made. Fantastic beat! This record was played again and again at parties in 1962/3.
God, doesn't this bring back the memories. I've watched and listened to this video Many time and remember when I was out on the floor. Love it.
Wish i was alive in this era of music , being an 80s child give me this music any day..
60s all the way
Danny Stock yep you’ve missed a lot but at least your enjoying it all now that’s the main thing👍.
This generation is the best because we have instant access to any generations of music
Damien Caez You might be able to access it, but it sure as hell is nothing like living it.
Born 82 and grew up with my mom and dads music
Buenas noches, gracias por compartir tan hermosa canción, vaya que me hubiera encantado vivir esa época en la que la juventud se divertía de manera muy sana, en la que los padres de verdad educaban con energía a sus hijos, a mí y a mis herman@s todavía nos tocó la buena educación gracias a Dios, pero actualmente las familias son un desorden y por ende los hijos son una pudrición por culpa de sus padres...saludos y bendiciones para todos ustedes del canal, sus familias y todos sus seguidores!!
I always loved this song.
Just clean and pure, i lived through it, and loved it.
Les années 60 étaient merveilleuses et les chansons formidables !
les années 60 c était une époque formidable en 60 j avais 12 ans on dansait on s amuser il y avait moins de contraintes que maintenant mais enfin c est la vie Claude progni
Loved watching this. I probably watched this live when I was a kid. "9th Street West." I recognized Sam Riddle, the KHJ "boss jock" radio station disk jockey from L.A., who hosted the dance show I think almost every weekday afternoon during the early 1960s, moving through the crowd and sending couples out to the center of the dance floor. I remember Chris Montez as a guest more than once on the show.
EVERY DECADE THE 20" TO THE 80'S THE DANCE WAS GREAT - TODAY I FEEL KIDS ARE ROBBED OF JUST HOW GOOD DANCINGTHE NIGHT AWAY FEELS.
JUST BYFAITHFUL. I DONT HA To Collecting MONEY... HALELUYA. MY FAITH IS TO STRONG AND So Big I DON'TBELIEVE IS ME.
Louis Caruso. WELL NEXT TIME. OPEN YOUR OWN TUBE...STUPID. DON"T DO.THAT NO MORE MORON.
In the 60s with the 7" Let's dance vinyl in hand I went to all the house parties. Great Chris! How much fun we had!
What a GREAT tune!! You CANNOT sit still hearing this!!
The boogie moves and energy are contagious! Not being of this generation Mr. Montez is heard of in many generational performers. This banger among many of his others are simply magnificent🎉 Bravo
Classic, they never go out of style.
Very beautiful girls in the 60's
Good then and good now!!!😃
THANKS......NOT BAD AT 80 EITHER
Wow! These guys really knew how to dance back in the day. Not just trying to air h#@p you on the dance floor!!
Not blowing my own horn but I could knock a few moves back in the day Irene Lol best wishes from Bonny Scotland 🏴
@@stilllaughing3959 🤣
Where in Scotland? I'm just curious because that is one of the places I have wanted to visit my whole life because supposedly that's where my family originated. There and Ireland. I have no family here anymore. They are all gone hopefully to a better place! I danced a lot back in the day as well but not so much anymore. If I would have known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself! 🙃 It is funny because it's true.
@@irenecarhart I am from a Scots/Irish family,my grandfather moved here as he was on the run,he was to be executed by firing squad,my grandfather was fighting the British after they burnt the family farm down looking for weapons (that were not there) sadly this activity by British forces made young lads in Ireland join the IRA in the late part of the 20th century.My grandfather told me he had to fight back in some way at the family having the farm burnt down,I can't argue with that...I felt really sad when you said you had no family...tell you what Irene,after a recent car accident I prob will be joining you up in the great dancehall in the sky my family is your family and I hope youl have that dance with me..ps the place in Scotland where I was brought up is a little town called Falkirk....best wishes Sean
@@stilllaughing3959 Thank you! You're very sweet. If you don't mind me asking what happened? Are you okay?
Oh, we were having a lot of fun.. Everybody would get together, just girls and practice with our records... Then we would cook up a bunch of goodies and bake some cakes and invite the boys for a good dance party... often....Cuero, Texas. 1961-1971... Too much fun... DeWitt County.....Go Gobblers
And, we know Texas was producing some real lookers back then.
Miss you mum. Loved getting the 45s down and listening to this and twisting. Let’s dance x
Apaixonada nessa música! Alegria contagiante! 2023 🇧🇷
Let's bring these good times back !!!!! The best
I always wondered why someone didn't open seniors only/baby boomers dance clubs and just play only the baby boomer OLDIES. going to the city's or county senior citizens' dances is NOT the same as clubs (of course sans booze.) Wheelchairs, canes, walkers, etc welcome!🎈
It's too late! Those times will only live in the memories of those who lived in 1950s/60s. The World has now changed so much. However. us oldies can be taken back to those times whenever there is the music that we used to sing along with or dance to.
@@lindaperkins2221 Yes the greatest memories and we can pass them on
@@karenpolemeni3743 I get a special happy feeling whe listening to the 60s music.
@@lindaperkins2221 That's because it was real music ..Me too
De jaren zestig.. Wat een tijd. Schitterend. Tijd voor teenagers op de radio. Ben 77 jaar. Denk veel aan die mooie tijd. Harrie Bouwmeester
About 1:28 the young lady in the white top and dark skirt was definitely the queen of the ball. What a cutie. Great dancer, a pleasure to watch. I hope she is still alive and well with a house full grand kids and great grand kids. Those were great times...
Haha…I thought the same thing! She has the right rhythm all the way through. 🥳
Agree!!!
Definitely the babe of the ball. Best dancer by far
Wonderful clip, showing those young folks dancing so well, and with such joy and enthusiasm. They're dressed well too, and not a fattie in sight !
Yeah... no kidding.. 'and not a fattie in sight !'
No fatties: that’s because we didn’t have all the crap foods they serve up nowadays, nor did we have the extra cash to waste on fast food. Plus, we were always so busy that we didn’t just sit around and stuff our faces.
I wish I could have lived in those times , everything was so classy and fun
It indeed was. But if you lived in those days, you'd be an old man, like I am today . ( 68) But it was great.
@@skipdow3 nothing wrong with being more expirienced and mature! Nice to see more mature people on the internet
I think I first heard this on 8 track awhile back👌...still sounds the same💯
This time period was so much fun, there was still innocence 🥰
Hi Debbie
This was a great dance song, the beat is phenomenal.
Ahhh...the summer of '62, I remember it well, as I was 13.The opening drums were a classic.
you betcha
Best song ever! That beat and most of all Chris Montez's voice.🎸🎶💃🏽💞
👤👩🏻🦳. 🎀👍🩷📱🏠😍🐻💋🎼
Wow! Going to the dance growing up and seeing these older ( seniors) girls with their perfect Breck Girl hair and sweater dresses just mesmerizing! God it was fun!
Hi - I'm interested to know just what 'Breck Girl' hairstyles are - was it eg like a 'Beehive', or the style of Tammy ( 'Stand by your Man' ) Whinette ?
I love this music my grandad always played 50s and 60s music when i was growing up and i am to be married this year september 2019 :) and i am thinking of having this brillant song, that i love so much as me and my partners first dance plus i think that would put a smile on my grandad and nans face get everyone up and dancing
You definitely should do it. And congratulations on your wedding 🤗
Yes do ..that would Awesome !!! God Bless you both always
@@Onetonymoe thank you :)
@@p4nda469 thank you :)
How was the wedding?
Brings back fantastic memories...
yeah, of my teenage angst!
Great song lets dance
Now this is what I call dancing. Even though I'm not from that era but believe me when I say this was the best music.
Let's dance. Awesome song that showed the influence of the Hispanic Culture and the Adaptation of both cultures. Truly special and heart felt ❤️
Chris Montez Band is my favourite and the way they sings the songs.
I remember this song from the early '60's. Still enjoy listening to it today.
Let's dance Trisha 💃
I'll dance with you to Trisha Ann .I am a old age pensioner but can still hold the girl and manage a few steps 🎼♥️
I would love to dance with you
Golden sunshine and blue skies all along the way. Thank you Mr Lynch.
I love this video! Great dancing and fun to watch! Epitomizes the swinging 60s dance era!
This song was so popular that Chris's band was the headliner at shows in the United Kingdom, about 1962. This song was almost a forerunner to modern Pop and Rock music.
The opening act was a growing, wannabe popular group called the Beatles.
The Beatles had only released a few not very big or very popular single records by then. No albums.
One of Chris's high school friends was Brian Wilson. Chris later helped out the Beach Boys with some of their songs.
Chris also went to a Ritchie Valens concert to hear his idol sing, and actually accidentally bumped into and talked to Valens during a break at the show. A charmed life indeed !
Absolutely the best dance video on here
and I love watching it. I remember when
I was out there
Love it. Back in the Day Id be out there Just dance dance dance
You cannot hear this song without wanting to dance too!!!!
I'd give back all tech crap to be on that floor!!
Impossible not to physically react to this song !
NOT TRUE I'M SAT ON MY ASS
I’m dancing now and I’m 80
@@judygaryhuthmacher4092 yay!!!!
All of those beautiful kids are now in their mid seventies.
Your point being??
And still love this music after so manny years 😘💯
@@peterrigl5556 You got that right
@@Knards you got right that he got it right
That’s me, I am one of them. Who cares , I feel 20 years old and life is for living.
I love this song It's stuck in my head . Good old days

Hello,how are you?
I play bluegrass and was playing at an American Legion..My mom got up and was gliding across the floor with her 1950s style moves like these ladies and I had to tell some of the old men my mama was married lol..When I hear this old rock and roll music I think of her cause she listened to it all the time and danced lol
This brings back so many memories. I actually went to bandstand when they were here in California and got to know so many great people. I enjoy watching these because I am in my seventies
We went to the oringal in Philly. Cut school to go. Thankfully didn't get caught. Best day of my life!! I was on TV
That drum intro.....perfect!
Yes!!!!!!!!!x
We might be old but we had a great time getting here!!!!!
Agreed.
tippimail1 Here Here, Good 4 You M8.
Hell, I'm not old ... just uhh ... mature ;)
didn't we though. i'm 70 and my girls love to dance with me. jive, waltz, chalipso, pony. we have a great time at weddings, just not enough places to dance anymore.
Aint that the truth---drugs,rock&roll (the very very best of the 50-60's) & seeing our world change.We survived
Those great days of the 1960's that changed music forever!
One of my favourite dance tunes from the sixties. I remember dancing to it in the school hall in 1962 - the year of the big freeze in the UK. Or was it 1963? Long time ago!
+Ann TwoShoes I agree ,and the year of the big freeze was 1962 , as i was going out with my girl friend and we would sit for hours on my m/bike in the snow !
+Ann TwoShoes major hit on campus of Penn State in '63-64; college Mixers were fantastic.
+Ann TwoShoes Yeah, the Big Freeze of the 1962-63 winter. Great times, back then, with such fabulous records in the charts, and lots more to come as the Sixties progressed.
Ann TwoShoes - As far as I can tell, this song was first released in the U.S.A. in June, 1962. The Big Freeze started in the U.K. around Christmas, 1962.
ali vlisten
I was only a kid when i herd this and it still makes me want to dance 40 + years later love it.
Fab intro. Everyone got up to this one
GROWING UP IN THIS TIME GOD IT WAS GREAT THIS KIDS NOW DAYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD TIMES ARE
