Dawn Of A Remarkable Era: 1960s Music Overview


Motown and the Beatles' music are revered and played regularly.
  • The words of Martin Luther King Jr. are often quoted by several politicans. And his image was used in a recent commercial.
  • The Beach Boys play to sellout crowds. "American Dreams" is a critical and ratings success.
  • Dick Clark is still America's oldest teenager! Mini-skirts are back (in a different style, but they're still mini-skirts),as are culottes (now called skorts; same thing!).
  • Malcolm X, who was considered an inflammatory radical, now has his words and image on hats and T-shirts and is regarded as a visionary, ahead of his time.
  • The Rat Pack is retro-cool. (In some circles, they never stopped being cool.)
  • The sheer musical diversity and talent of the era may be unequalled before or since. Return to where to all began; welcome back to 1960s music.
