I was 20 months old, turning 2 that May. Some of music's best died in plane crashes unfortunately, including Patsy Cline, Jim Croce and Rick Nelson. One of the cool things about '70s music is that many songs had Doo-Wop ties to the '50s including 'Crocodile Rock', 'Sugar Baby Love' , 'Only You' (Ringo's) and 'Star Baby' to name 4. The '70s wanted to BE the '50s, remember?

I think that "only $75" was a satirical comment. The person doing these videos makes these cost observations frequently. People who lived through that time understand that $75 was a LOT of money for a simple camera.

I was 7 in 1959- America was on top of the world. Neighborhood's looked out for each other and it began the beginning of the modern age.!!

I don't know where it cost a dollar for a movie ticket, but in Kansas it was 25 cents!!!!

I was born December of 1959

Your videos are honestly amazing and very instructional. It would be my biggest dream to have the chance to travel through time and go back to old America... Also, I didn't know that Barbie's debut was in March 1959 ! Crazy to think that some things are so old and we wouldn't even imagined.

Back in better days where the country had sanity and people had some morals . Very much unlike today .

Major Professional Sports Championships during 1959: - MLB: Los Angeles Dodgers defeated Chicago White Sox 4-2 (World Series, Oct. 1-8) - NBA: Boston Celtics defeated Minneapolis Lakers, 4-0 (Championship Series, April 4-9) - NFL: Baltimore Colts defeated New York Giants 31-16 (NFL Championship Game) - NHL: Montreal Canadiens over Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1. NOTE: The Minneapolis Lakers would relocate to Los Angeles a year later (1960).

Wow. That Chuck Berry story is one I'd never heard. I didn't realize the Grammys were so young. The 1959 World Series featured the "Go Go" Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers who played their games in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum that was used for the 1932 Olympics. Due to this, home runs to left were just 250-feet away if you could clear a 42-foot mesh screen. It appears VP Nixon and wife Pat were on hand for the opening of the monorail. While wearing women's clothes was a major part of the joke in "Some Like It Hot", it was clear that Curtis and Lemmon were guys who dressed that way to avoid mobsters, not attempting to bend gender roles. On to the turbulent Sixties, one of my favorite decades.
