The “sixties” may mean something different to each of the different people who lived through them, but everyone within listening range of a radio or phonograph heard the same music. This is a collection of the hits that Americans were tuning in on and turning on to. Arranger- conductor Johnny Douglas and the Living Strings perform a fond look-back and sound-off of the top songs of the Swingin’ Sixties.
In 1961 Lawrence Welk’s orchestra was bub¬ bling with Calcutta. In ’62 the incredible Henry Mancini came up with one of the biggest of his many winners, Moon River. In 1963 it was B.V.-B.V.—Bobby Vinton singing Blue Velvet. The next year we all started singing Hello, Dolly! along with Louis Armstrong to a procession of Dollys that includes Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey and Barbra Streisand.
The year 1965 was the time to order Red Roses for a Blue Lady and it payed off hand¬ somely for Vic Dana. Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass had everyone mariachiing to A Taste of Honey in 1966. In 1967 Nancy Sinatra and her father wisely teamed up for Somethin’ Stupid. And, of course, The Beatles were up there every year. One of their biggest hits was Hey Jude in 1968. And at the end of the sixties there was Aquarius from the Broadway smash “Hair.” Both the song and the play speak for the generation which dominated the times. If people stumble over this album fifty years from now, will they get a clear image of the sixties? Not quite—it’s impossible even now to recap¬ ture those mad years, but it’s certainly a lot of fun trying.
