1969 saw the baby boomer generation come of age as the music and creativity of the times set a new standard that has not been equaled to this day. In an era when the popular music charts were basically un-segmented and devoid of the genres that exist today, it was not uncommon to find Jimi Hendrix, The Supremes, David Bowie, Joan Baez, The Who, Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Iron Butterfly, Neil Diamond, Led Zepplin, Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Simon & Garfunkle, The Monkees and James Brown all charting in the top 40. The fact that this happened on one pop chart is nothing short of amazing. By today's standards you would be hard pressed to find more than three of these artists existing within the same genre and in some cases such as with Marley or Cash, more than just one.
Sadly today's Pop music has evolved to be something much less fulfilling than everything that preceded it opting for production style over actual content and performance. 1969 defined a generation that spoke with passion and voiced their emotions through the popular music of the time; it is no wonder why those voices were heard so convincingly. The songs on this page and playing on the site wide player are all recorded by 1969 live in the studio with no overdubbed instruments. Essentially what you hear is what you get from a live 1969 performance.
