I was looking at some of the old medleys I had previously posted and came across this one. This one from 1965 proves that year was part of an era when music was really music!

ROCK THE DAY!
Where to even begin? Senior year in HS is a busy, emotional and turbulent year but for me the music sure helped to get me through it. It always amazes me when I look, listen, to the music of the era. You could hear all of these songs on the same radio station. The eclectic nature of the music is the magic element for me. Soon every style would be broken down in to a specific category and you would have to twist the dial all day to hear the songs in this playlist. Sad that the powers that be worked so hard to divide us, when we were so blissfully happy reveling in the pure joy of a great diverse mess that was, is, our music.
Once again Ray you have managed to help us drift back to a time when the music transported its listeners to a space of pure joy. You have given us a wonderful gift with these selections today. Thank you very much Ray for taking the time and care to present this carefully crafted slice of our formative years. You’re the BEST Ray!
Thank you so much, Don.
This “great diverse mess” got a lot of us through those formative years. I’m so pleased to know you enjoyed it.
ROCK ON, BRO!
great medley!! the 60’s and most of 70s had such great music!! Thank you for sharing, you have made many peoples day a bit brighter!
Thanks, Penny ❤️
You’re 100% right about the music from those two decades.
It is my pleasure putting these medleys for wonderful people … like you!
Made my day Ray!! These tunes brought back some good times!! Well Ray it’s time to get a move on!! It always amazed me how Cher could make Sonny sound good!! Thanks Ray!!!
Thank you, Fred. It couldn’t have been easy making Sonny sound good. 😉
ROCK ON!
Thank you for taking me back to another time with memorable music
Such an anxiety reliever
Thank you, Mary Helen 🙂
Music has such soothing power. As always, I’m grateful you enjoyed it.
Ray, I yearn for those days more so now than ever!!! This music was just what I needed today! AND most every day! Thank you for that my friend. There will never be another era like that one!
Thank you, Suzanne 🙂
You are right, there will NEVER be an era like that one we embraced.
So glad you enjoyed it.
I know I heard this before however sure enjoyed it again this afternoon. Must be I did not comment before. A very good era to grow up in and the music is at least as enjoyable as it was all those years ago. Belated thank you Ray!
Thanks, Marty 🙂
I originally posted it three years ago. That’s what I have been doing this week; playing a few of the older medleys. Maybe it’s just me being lazy! 😉
