60's Oldies

It was the birthday of my boyfriends’mother this weekend. She was born in 1960 so the whole party theme was about this decade. We were in charge of the music and I made those CD cases:



I chose a selection of greatest hits from the 60’s and we danced/eaten all weekend long over: The Ronettes, Otis Redding, Petula Clark, The Everly Brothers... The key word was "pop" since that's what Motown did. There was nothing especially thought-provoking in this kind of music, whether they were spoken monologues, moody, sobbing songs, lush string orchestrations or self-confident songs about boys/girls within that glassy back-beat and Diana Ross pouring on the vocals like maple syrup. Perfect for a Thanksgiving weekend.
