What have I learnt today? Blogging about books, media, words, Singapore and the world today. The blog that was Blowin' in the Wind.
The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane jamming back in 1967. You may or may not like them but clips like these have historical value.
More Dead from 1967. Dancing in the Street. The voiceover commentary is so censorious. This was the original culture war.
It's Christmas! The 1960s were the golden era of music. The Beatles topped the UK singles chart four years during Christmas — in 1963, with I Want To Hold Your Hand, in 1964 with I Feel Fine, in 1965 with Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out, and again in 1967, with Hello Goodbye. The 1966 Christmas No 1 was Green, Green Grass Of Home by Tom Jones. Before the Beatles came Elvis Presley. He had two Christmas No 1s: It's Now Or Never in 1960 and Return To Sender in 1962. Here they are — Elvis and the Beatles.
