I am young at 45 and although this music was around for just a few years when I was a child I remember it as mind numbing and part of another era. Flash forward and now it is some of my favorite stuff.
I would listen to this upstairs with the family, then downstairs in my room it was the BeeGee's, ELO, Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool and the Gang, and the like. My disco faves were as bitterly hated by my siblings and peers as my elevator music. I still love it all.
Brings back memories of the "beautiful music" stations mom always used to play in the kitchen when she was cooking. In our area (So Cal's Inland Empire) the main beautiful music stations were KBIG, KOST and KBON.
Thanks for ever beginning this channel. It reminds me so much of being a kid in the late 60s. I would hear this music in dept stores while shopping with my mom, and my dad would turn on a local radio station on a huge bench-style stereo and listen this music as he read his Bible. I work from home, and listen to your channel every day
Nice! I used to run "Lovin' An Elevator" at Live 365 and still run a variation on my local cable TV channel, recalling WVNJ-FM & WRFM in the NYC Metro. Glad to see I'm not the only one who appreciates this for the art it is. Kudos!

When I was a older teen, somehow I liked hearing the "Beautiful Music" on FM, as I despised 1970's pop "music" especially the "Big Hair" arena rock bands. And I knew of Muzak but until I stumbled across it HERE, I knew NOTHING about Seeeburg and you know what? I
When I was a kid, our local “beautiful music” station was on AM 590. I know the broadcast corporations and record companies are in cahoots, but I wish they would bring back one of these stations in each market.

This may be canned music, but from a musician’s perspective, there’s some real playing going on in these recordings. As a bassist myself, I’m hearing some pretty complex musicianship, reflecting the style of the late 60s, early 70s. I played Nevada casinos, from the 70s through 2005 and this music was always being pumped through the house systems 24/7. Sure, it’s hokey and dated, but it brings back a flood of pleasant memories when I hear it....
Subbed. Been making vaporwave and vapor-inspired audio for a couple years now, and through that endeavour I have just developed a simple appreciation for elevator/shopping mall BG audio from the 70s-90s. This is a lovely channel. Thank you for your work.

Sorry I don't know of any my local FM stations play only the same old top 40 of the 70's and 80's and modern pop. I am not sure if anywhere else has instrumental background music on FM radio
I remember in the 60s when I was a kid they would play this music on FM. FM was new and experimental then with only a few stations on the whole band. My parents would listen to it in the morning.
YES!!! It totally is! Big Jim Slade! Big Jim, the former tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is outfitted with various whips, chains, and a sexual apatite that will knock your sox off. Big Jim has satisfied women throughout the world. And the Capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!
Some were seeburg exclusive, but most of the music from the 1966 and onward library were from artists such as 101 strings and Music De Wolfe production music.
Most tracks (like "Lida Rose") were arranged and recorded by LA session musicians specially for Seeburg. They started licensing songs from other ochestras/production music libraries only later in the life of the BMS.
Yes there are Christmas Seeburg records. I only own one and there are only 3 Christmas songs out of the whole 1 hour and 20 minute run time. I think Seeburg wanted to make sure the Christmas atmosphere had no repeats so you would need to own a whole set of Christmas series records in order to have a bunch of Christmas tracks mixed in.
@@Fardemark Thanks for the insight. There's a Bossa Nova type song about Love or Girls make the world go round. I thought it was by Burt Bacharach but I can't find it. It's upbeat but still elevator music. Do you have any idea about a song like that?

KOST to help you coast through your day"
I remember it well...
KHAR in Anchorage, Alaska. I remember listening to this on the radio in the early 80’s

(On any Sunday) song .. Malcolm Smith . First song.
Would it be possible to know the titles of the introduction music pieces?
My I ask what song in the very beginning of the video was? I’m curious because I like it. The Half-Sun Production music?
Where can I find the song used in the beginning of this video
Where can I find the song used in the beginning of this video, its probably on one of fardemark seeburg vinyl videos, I just don't know which
nice harp music 4:00...I think heard 39:06 in a Fellini movie.
What is the song in 0:00-0:15?!?! Also the song at 0:37 is totally going in my “Day in the life of” montage!
0:37 I know it’s Kpm but let me search the song
0:37 found it it’s not Kpm it’s “ SWING OVER “ by “ THE WOLFE MUSIC “
The the cover is Gray and it says “ VOCAL SHADES and TONES “
Great!
What's the first song called if anyone knows? :o
Nice and very crisp recording. Do you upload this stuff to Archive.org to be easily found or just have the video?
