I too was born in the 60's, but a lot of that brought back memories. I ended up watching all three! good times. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, those were the best days. (Highschool 1957-61)
I thought they'd never end.
Sadly, they did


Then came the 60's, Vietnam and later decades as it it all went downhill.

Great video, sure brings back a lot of memories. I was born in '51 & had an older sis and brother so got to live a lot of what they did when I was a youngster. The late 50s, early & mid 60s were best of times. But yeah then adulthood and reality hit. Outta high school, into the service, marriage, kids. . . Can't say it all went downhill. But oh those mid 60s!

Born in '51. I was in Jr. High when the British invasion hit. The summer of '69 after I graduated was a great time. Moving forward to '71 when I got drafted things took on a different direction. But all in all things are pretty good now. Thanks for the video.

This sums it up for me - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069704/

And this - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069704/

Cars were it. The kid across the street had a new 57 CHEV and next door kid (teenager) had a 57 FORD. Another had a 56 PLY.

GOOD TIMES ...

And yes the VIETNAM ERA killed it all.

More than likely have more than 300 DVD's and CD's. That movie and soundtrack are in the top 5.
