Do you like 1950's and 1960's rock n' roll songs?  

hi karen

hmmm some are motown.
i was born during the 70's so it is not really my era. But i noticed that many of the beautiful songs now came from that era. It was my interest to get musical influences that i came across with the artist and songs of the 50's and 60's.

It was one of the golden eras of music.

Yes, it was indeed. Since I live in Michigan and have all my life, of course Motown rocked large :) In fact, the first record I ever bought for myself was Baby Love, by the Supremes.

wow.

I love the supremes. one thing good about them is that they have good song writers, they are great singers, and they have "quality control" back then.

even in general this was more or less the trend.

Anyway, I don't intend to be discreminative but i was kind of amazed that motown was also a hit among whites?

I'm really curious of the pop culture back then.

I have often felt that young people (even teens) for the most part, are without racism or prejudice. I live in the north, but all over the country back then, things were changing...the movement...Martin Luther King, Malcolm X--and many many younger white people supported that avidly!!

Black music was great music. It is that simple. Even white artists gave credit where credit was due...and that was long before many older adults accepted that some of the white teens ... well we all just people, members of the "human" race, period. Much of the most popular music genres originated with black musicians.

As I said, we supported that huge movement for equality. It changed things to an extent, but more changes are needed!

okey i undrestand more now your culture and that era.

Sorry if I'm so inquisitive karen i hope you didn't mind.

Happy my lotting.

I don't mind at all, as I am very inquisitive, too. This is one way we learn from others.

Have a lovely day.

Karen

yes i agree there are so many beautiful songs on that era. The beauty of it is that, even with the limitations of the technology then, they have so many good music.

Yes if the mainstream music now is the same with that era but with a twist. Great musicality and great technology. It will really be very amazing.

Yeah, that would be great! I would love to hear that. A lot of the underground and alternative rock has that feel to it, like seventis and eighties rock'n'roll but unique. I really like it.

yes I like new ones too. But the 1950's and 1960's has a different feel and a lot of the songs now are cover versions of that era. I feel that the era is losing its touch where some of the golden songs are on that time.

Thats really true what you said people are taking the music from the 1950 and just giving the latest touch with the new equipments and getting the fame on. well still the real touch of music is in the golden songs which makes to listen to them even now. The songs coming these day we listen to them for few days then move on to the next one, but those days songs we still listen without getting bored.

Hi albert

Yes because the songs way back then are classics now. some of the songs in my opinion are ahead of its time.

Happy mylotting.

what is really true some songs are way ahead. happy mylotting
