Top Musical Hits & Samples
On this page we provide top-100 hit lists for each year of the 1960s, and
some sample tunes. We are legally prevented from posting artist's recordings
on this site, but we've provided a large number of MIDI files you play to
refresh your memory about particular songs.
You might also find the full version of selected tunes posted on such
websites as YouTube. Simply search on
the song or artist's name.
MIDI stands for Musical
Instrument Digital Interface file. These are synthetic songs
generated by computer from original recordings. MIDI files are often used on
the Web to avoid copyright infringement liability. Whereas original recordings
are usually copyrighted intellectual property, MIDI files are
computer-generated facsimiles of those recordings, and can be shared freely
without legal restrictions. Although some MIDIs are quite good (e.g.
Hey Joe), they are certainly no substitute for the real thing.
However, they can still spark memories by
helping us recall what a song from long ago sounded like.

Ballad of the
Green Beret |
This 1966 song was
written and sung by Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler, a real U.S. Army Green
Beret. Sadler wrote this song to idolize the troops in Vietnam when
public opinion was low. In the US, this was the biggest-selling
single of 1966. It was a #1 hit for 5 weeks and was the #21 song of
the '60s.

|
Star Spangled Banner |
Jimi Hendrix live at Woodstock - this
tortured anthem is perhaps THE definitive Vietnam War protest song.
Many don't realize Hendrix was himself a former U.S. Army
Paratrooper - a fact he seldom spoke of.
|
|
Yippie! We're
all gonna die. |
Country Joe McDonald,
at Woodstock - A comedic yet black, politically-charged sing-along
musical commentary on the Vietnam War, sometimes called the "The
'Fish' Cheer, or the "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" (warning -
contains gratuitous profanity). McDonald is a U.S. Navy veteran.
