1960's
Academy
Awards
"Camera, Lights,
Action!"
Let's take a trip back to see what we can see
To the 1960's without VCR's and DVD's
Off to the movie house with a date to hold our hand
To see the best movies and stars in movie land.
The theaters contained only one movie screen
With a commercial to go to the popcorn machine
We saw a cartoon; such as Tom and Jerry the mouse
Or Sylvester and Tweety demolishing the house.
The newsreel would flick the "News of the Day"
Before the main feature got on its way
Then we all settled back to watch the stars we adored
And hoped they'd get picked for an Academy Award!
. . . and now, on with the
show!
Click on the name of the song to hear the
"Best Song" for each year
Click reload/refresh to hear the background song again
Because there are 10 songs
on this page, they have all been reduced to samples only. The name/names
of the artist who performed the song in the movies is in parenthesis under the
title of each song. Because I do not have some songs by the original
performers, I've had to substitute other artists, and these artists are listed
second under the song title.
