Memory Lane: The FIFTIES!!

[ Edited ]

If you grew up at a time to fully remember the 1950's, this montage will promote nostalgia. I found it remarkable how many names were instantly associated with the faces familiar at that time. these days I can't always remember someone's name 15 minutes after I'm introduced to them. There were people here whose name I knew at a glance, having not seen them pictured for 60 or so years!

Enjoy a walk down Memory Lane. (It might slightly favor those who grew up in a NYC.) Music of the time is included.

@gizmogal   A friend sent this to me yesterday and then I forwarded it to a bunch of other friends.  I loved it -- as did everyone I sent it to.  This is the best one of these kinds of videos I have seen.

I watched that "Captain Video" episode of the Honeymooners just the other night -- and laughed as much as I did the first time I saw it as a kid in Queens...

Experienced only  a part of the decade, but enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Wow, did that bring back memories.  I recognized almost every one of them.  All I can say is, "We've come a long way baby."  Thank you for sharing this with us.

Enjoyed that trip and the music. That song "In the Still of the Night", the 5 Satins version, is still one of my favorite songs.

 

Thanks for the memories!
