Spinny Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am doing this for each decade and have the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's completed. The 60's is attached. Keep in mind I am no professional and don't claim to be. This was a lot of fun putting together and I hope it brings back some memories for you 'older" folks, and for the younger folks....maybe a history lesson. All of the songs u hear in this were number ones on the hot 100 billboard chart during the decade. I'll attach a new decade each day. I'll add the other decades to this thread. Each decade is about 5 - 7 minutes. Spinny Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ahaaa This is a wonderful thread you made Just an idea : This could be a great way to make a full 1 hour radioset of one particular decade ex: one full song - one quote - one full song - one quote etc etc Secondly : if you could make a full 1 hour set, it can be added as podcast (at least 128kbps stereo or higher) to your website or other ... and important no host is needed, the different quotes are making the talk sections Broadcasters can add their DRY ID liner in between a quote / song Real good idea !

Spinny Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Believe this or not, my program manager brought up a similiar idea to what you mention. It might be JUST an idea, but it's a very GOOD idea. I'll post the other decades I did at the rate of one a day. They came out pretty good, especially considering the music is all number ones off the hot 100 for that decade. Of course the 40's and 50's involved the "best sellers chart" as the hot 100 didn't start up until 1958. I should also mention that everything is in order as it happened, i.e. 1960 through 1969. Thanks for the great idea! Spinny Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 hihihi Well today its a kind of birthday to Me I started today in 1978 doing radio ... so I guess my idea is part of my experience ;) Do You know this website ? http://www.archive.org/ Its a website (archive service) used by many broadcasters - You can make your profile (your name or hostname or name of your set) - add your 1 hour sets - you can upload several formats to your profile, example: you can upload for narrow band a 64kbps, for broadcast quality a 128kbps or higher and you have also an option to create a music playlist file (aka .m3u) The only thing you have to do is sharing your profile link with stations who are interested to your radioset That way your radioset stays "more or less" privat (however the website has a public access) Stations are able to see if you made new uploads etc Important to both user and account owner is : the website traffic to and from a profile works very fast, so a download don't takes to much time A very good example of something similar to yours is this profile at that website : check : http://www.archive.org/details/TheClock Believe this or not, my program manager brought up a similiar idea to what you mention.

Spinny Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 I actually use the archives site, it is OUTSTANDING! Came in real handy for the 40's and 50's decades. Thanks again! And Thanks Johnny C for the nice comment. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinny Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Here's the 1970's. As previously said, all of the music you hear in this were U.S. number ones off the billboard hot 100 and the clips are in yearly, numerical order. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinny Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Thank you teltek! Here's the 1980's, there are 3 musical pieces that were not U.S. number ones in this...the mtv launch with video killed the radio star, the mash themes song for the final episode, and the indiana jones theme song....but...all the other musical pieces were number ones off the hot 100 during the 1980s..

Guest Baabaa Productions Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Great work love the idea. Will use the sixties one tonight as I have put together music for a 60's party for a good friend and will add your piece to the set. This will work nicely for video I have of the swinging sixties which I will be showing. Keep up the great work. Mark:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thank you Mark!!! Love those 60's parties...great decade for music. Here's the 1990s folks and again all number ones off the billboard hot 100 except for the Friends theme. The next two days will be the 1940's and 1950's. I am still working on 2000-2009 and The 1920s and 1930s.....could be a few weeks on these. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinny Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks again johnny! Here's the 1950's. Because billboard's hot 100 did not start until 1958, the songs u hear in this were number ones off of the billboard popularity charts, or better known as the "best sellers" chart. The same will apply for the 1940s. Sorry about the "shot heard round the world (giants win the pennant)" clip....unfortunately that's as good as it gets these days. These last two years, the 50s and 40s is where my "amateurism" comes out big time with this stuff as sound clips are tough to come by in good shape. But it sure was fun putting all of it together. Especially the WW2 clips in the 1940s. It sure is interesting how music changed over the decades. I'll throw the 1940s on sometime sunday.

Spinny Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I guess it goes without saying this was the toughest one to put together. Here's the 1940s!!! This is the last one until the completion of the 1920s. 1930s and the...well im not sure what to call it yet....(2000-2009). Thank you for all the kind comments.

Spinny Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 For some dumb reason i had uploaded the 5 min version when the proper version is this 7 min version. So here it is The 1960s proper version. Sowwy bout that! Spinny Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Here's the "new millenium." While it does include number ones off the hot 100 from 2000 to 2009, I had to use one older number one for michael jacksons death as there wasn't a single millenium number one that did his death any justice. The 1930s (like the 1940s, is an interesting decade) will be up sometime next week. Spinny Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Interestingly enough, there are no known authenticated original recordings from 1920-1922, for various reasons. See the link below for more information about the documentation of early radio (it is a very interesting read). With that said, the "supposed" first radio broadcast out of Pittsburgh in 1920, one of the first pieces on this, was a re-production made in the 40s or 50s. See the link for more info. The music in this was off the "hit parade" and whether they were number one or not was dependent on what part of the country you were in at the time. Anyway, here's the 1920s. http://www.midcoast.com/~lizmcl/earlyradio.html Spinny Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Great Spinny ! Very interesting and for sure .. a piece of radio history Thanks for sharing ! Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Here's the last one....The 1930's, one of my favorites. Again, the songs you hear were off the hit parade of the time. I hope everyone enjoyed this bit of musical history from 1920 through 2009. If anyone is interested in getting a particular clip (without the music), please PM me for them and include your e-mail with what you want. The clips are all in the public domain. Some were hard to find, but they are there. Please don't ask here as it takes up un-necessary space and I am starting to like this site (I don't want to incur the wrath of the people that have used this site for a long time or the moderators).

GKIye Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks Spinny ! Nice to have you as member ! Did you already contacted James (the BW owner) about your project ?
