I was so intrigued by this piece while watching David Hoffman’s videos. So glad I found it. Go to David Hoffman’s YouTube channel. A wonderful place full of his insightful thoughts and interesting stories. A very interesting person to watch!

This series was amazing when I saw it in the early 90s. I highly recommend it .

I never will ever get tired of listening to this song. Making Sense of the Sixties is a work of genius.

Always loved this music dating back to when I first saw Making Sense of the Sixties in early 90s. Never thought to Google who did music until now. Really captured essence of the chaotic decade of 60s.

Hmm...I ran into this looking for the theme to CNN's "The Sixties" series, though I must say, now I'm thoroughly intrigued. I'll have to look into this!

is a six part series analysing certain facets of the social and political upheaval in the United States during the 1960s and beyond. The series chronologically examines the cultural and political changes which shaped the era and left an indelible mark on later decades. From the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King; to the rapidly escalating atrocities in Vietnam; to the height of the Cold War and the Space Race,   weaves historical retrospect with the experiences of ordinary people to capture the mood and mindset of the era
