You heard her clear, melodious voice everywhere in 1962: teenagers had her playing on their 45 rpms, then you heard her at the movie theatre between shows. At the roller rink, at the grocery store, on car radios. What a sweetheart...

Chopin must have been in love with someone when he wrote this. The music is passionate, almost violent sometimes but sad, like a love that was forbidden and he would never have. So he put it into his music.

I understand your frustration. 60 years ago, when I lived in this area, there was nothing like what you see now. I have no idea what the names of the train lines were back then, I just remember a rich yellow line of passenger cars trimmed in dark green. Thanks for the vid. I love this sound; I ha...

I work in the medical field and I applaud the early work of doctors and scientists in the early years of the 20th century who literally gave their lives treating and researching this once-deadly disease. People, you have to remember: Waverly was built long before there were antibiotics to treat ...

That ain't the Watusi.

I remember seeing this series when I was very young, about 1962-64. I always loved it and was so pleased to see it here!

I work in the medical field and I can tell this had been an incredible place at one time. Are there any documents describing the quality of treatment patients received here, and are there records made by staff who worked here?

OMG, OMG. Yeah, back then it was "dirty dancing." Jeez, it's so tame now!

Somewhere in our lives we've all been where these lyrics go. That's why she cries -- the song goes deeper than most are willing to admit.

OMG. Chris Meloni is so damn hot...

The first time I heard this was somewhere around 1963. I was maybe 9 years old and have always loved her voice. I never saw who she was until maybe 10 years ago. Her voice was always in the background somewhere while I grew up, like a lot of the music in the '60s. I had always thought she was ...

This got me totally choked up. It's the timeperiod I remember going there.

Yup. Been here, done that. She sums it all up pretty good, folks. Jo Dee's got it. When you give all you got and they take it and don't give back, well, that's JUST what happens... MY GIVE-A-DAMN'S BUSTED!!

This is one of the last pieces of music Charles Gounod wrote before his death. He died mysteriously at his home in France, having been found under a massive bookcase. Autopsies weren't done back then and the cause of death was ruled "unknown". Very likely, he suffered a stroke, grabbed the boo...

OMG. I used to go to this park from1959 through 1963-65. I lived in Lake Bluff, IL and Santa's Village was THE place to go back then. It was advertised on TV all summer. I can even tell the rides that were NOT there during that time by seeing the images on this video. It's sad to see it in ...
