Welcome to 60s Chartbusters
-------------------------------------

Nothing would ever be the same again, the 1960's was the period of time which changed everything. The sixties decade was the most incredibly exciting, influential, inventive and vibrant period of popular music in the 20th century. The 3,653 days belonging to the sixties are unforgettable and still lend a rich dimension to our lives today. It was the era where skirts kept getting shorter, hair kept getting longer and the youth of the day were liberated from the wartime hardship and the prim attitudes of the fifties. There was an awakening renaissance of the arts where painting, dance, sculpture, fashion and especially music changed all the rules.

The Sixties Revolution

Some of the music of the 1960’s really was the definition of rebellion or the standing up to the establishment culture. Protest songs written and performed by the artists themselves “God On Our Side” and “Blowin' in the Wind” Bob Dylan,
“I Ain't Marching Anymore” Phil Ochs, “Universal Soldier” Buffy Sainte-Marie, “A Change is Gonna Come” Sam Cooke, and “Give Peace A Chance” John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band. The words put to the music giving everybody a message which we all would sing along to.

Looking back through blurred glasses we see an explosion of colour, images of youth Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy, Mick Jagger and of course the Beatles all expressing an exuberance and panache which we later related to the sixties decade. Swinging London was underway by the mid-1960s, fashionable shopping areas had sprung up such as Carnaby Street, and the Kings Road where fashion boutiques were selling the latest gear to the (Mods) Modernist youth revolution. The Kinks 1966 single "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" epitomized the dandyness of the time.
