This! I watch YouTube reaction videos by today's young people, black and white, of 60s singers. To a person, they are awed by the talent back then - all of it without auto-tune, gimmicks and screeching - just pure talent.

It's interesting to hear songs from the 60s and 70s being used in the soundtracks of some films made today where all the actors are millennials and the alphabet generations. Goes to prove that some of our music is timeless.

Right. Some really great melodies from then, and as I said they are still played 60 years later.

I HATE hearing them in commercials, though.

I honestly can't remember what I saw/listened to yesterday. But I STILL remember lyrics from the songs I loved back in the 60s. :-) Then again I remember reading that as we age, current memory is the first to go, but long term memory stays. :-)

My 16 year-old granddaughter will be performing in a high school talent show this Friday. Accompanying herself on the acoustic guitar, she'll be singing a song by Joni Mitchell.
