"Who was the most successful Singles chart artist of the Sixties?" If you don't know, I really doubt if you'll be able to guess! So check out the trivia section which includes pages on artists' real names, their previous stage names and the jobs they used to do before they found Pop Chart fame. It also contains general Sixties music and pop chart info and trivia, plus other Sixties music quizzes - there may be one or two 'teasers' in there, even if you think you're a 60s 'head'. |
Well, some (including my parents, bless 'em) might call
it that, but I had a really rockin' good time - nearly every song holds
a memory of some sort for me! Not because I was around much in the Sixties, well I was there of course, just not quite old enough to get the best out of it (as the saying goes, if you can remember it, you weren't there!) but as motorbikin' people in the Seventies we ate, drank, danced and dreamed Sixties music and Rock'n'Roll ! By the way - if you think you remember me from then and we've lost touch over the years, see my home page - Kyndamagic - for personal pics, some info and contact details. Sixties listings seem to be quite rare on the net. If you know of another, not linked, please Email me to tell me where it is ! You will find periodic updating of the pages with the intention of eventually relating each artist to a relevant web site or page as I find them ( if they exist! - maybe you can help?) - I guess it's gonna take some time though, so bear with me. Obviously, there are many copyright issues here and I hope, in the interests of Sixties music fandom, that there will be no objection to anything used on this site. Of course, if there is, please let me know and I will do my best to change it or negotiate something or other. Eventually I also hope to collect every single track that hit the top 50 charts - I have about 75% of them at the moment. If you see someone with his head in a box of old scratched plastic at a car boot sale it'll probably be me - come on over and say hello! |
Here's a link to the Capital Gold site - Mike Sweeney does the most brilliant
Sixties show I've ever heard - reminds me of Capital's Friday night 'Cruising'
from years ago, but better, and every night!! You can email Mike from
the Capital Gold website - use the left hand link. If you like Sixties
stuff check out the times and listen to him. He also does a pretty good
Seventies gig as well... maybe I'll do a 70s page... hmmm...
anyway...
