In 1969 I was flying combat missions in SE Asia. I was 24 years old. I am now 78. RIP my friends that did not come back. That was a great year for music.

I was ten years old and always listened to the radio. I remember my babysitter who had her boyfriend over often. One time he brought his friend who played catch with me outside. He was a very nice, kind, high school kid. I remember seeing his picture in the paper a six months later…he lost his life in Vietnam. I will never forget him.😿

I turned 17 in '69 and found my first serious boyfriend. These songs bring back that wonderful year. That boyfriend is sitting next to me right now.... 53 years later and he's still the love of my life.

Nov 1969 is when my dad passed. He was 36. I was 13 yrs old and these songs bring back memories. Love ❤️ you dad..RIP🌹

My father passed away on November 15, 1969 and I became the man of the house at 11. This year will always be part of my life!.

[mgrudt]

I feel so sad that my life has gone by in a blink of an eye, this music takes me back... but I can't go back. Things were simpler than. Wish you got a second chance in life!

[janedoe]

Back then, ALL the hit songs were on the same stations. They were not divided by color or genre. Good music was just good music and we loved all of it.

[CRAYINTENT]

You know it's a good music year when half the songs are still being covered and the other half just naturally sounds fantastic!

[michaelmelton]

I turned 72 last month. In 1969 I was there as well. I stayed in the military for 27 years and retired. At times it comes back to haunt me as I ask the question why I came home when many didn’t.

[geraldgroomes]

So many of our 60s songs are still being used in tv commercials- best decade of music - ever!

[shananalexander]

In 1969 I was 10 years old, and I had twin brothers in Vietnam.
One nearly died.
I love this list of songs. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[pedenmk]

Best two decades in music was late 60s then the 70s rolled along.

[jeannewarrenfeltz]

man on the moon, Woodstock and my husband came home from his tour in Vietnam and we got married...and yes we are still married.. October

[owlfethurz]

I was 14 years old in '69. The music was so amazing. Teen years are bittersweet, but looking back I see these songs as jewels to treasure.

[levis]

These songs will never get old as long as I’m alive they bring back so many good memories.

[samlove]

Oh my goodness!!! I’m 70 years old now and I used to listen to these on my transistor radio while dancing with my 4 sisters on the front porch of our house. I was the original GEEK!!❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[jamescarlson]

I too was in Vietnam in 1969 (to 1970) and really did not know about many of these songs until many months and years later. Now I am 77 years old and the memories are coming back.

[donnadickerson]

I graduated in '69 and these songs take this 71 y/o woman back to that 17 y/o hippie 🌺 child back to the good old days
