Top Comments of this video!! :3
I work in Senior care for folks who are at the last step before possibly needing to go into a home. Most of my people were born in 1945 or earlier so I play this for them at work. They all light up and immediately start with stories of where they were and what they were doing when they heard a song..... It's a wonderful gift and I really appreciate all the folks who put these compilations together so we can share them 💕♥️💕♥️

During COVID after my Mother passed away. Found her and my grandmothers diaries. I began writing how WWII effected my family in Oklahoma just outside of Ft Sill. To get in the mood look at the dates in the diaries then researched sings played on the radio from 1939 to 1945. Listening to them as a wrote the book was a great help.

Think about this for just a moment: The times in which we live are fraught with problems, some of which are unimaginable that we would have to go through some of the same ugliness that our ancestors had to endure and solve. But one thing that helps is that we are in a golden era in some ways as well. Imagine how difficult it was back when this music was popular to be able to hear it when you wanted to hear it, yet here we are able to pull up any music style, genre or particular song on our computer and listen to it and enjoy it. The same thing goes for just about every film that was ever made or every television show; we have all of these things at our fingertips and can enjoy it over and over again. And to those who think that the past was always better, do not forget that every era had its wars, strife and problems to overcome. Thank God we have all this to help us through our own issues.

I'm 76 and not only am I enjoying the music of my parents, but the comments of others like Jack. Mother was 32 when I was born and Dad was 33. I imagine them listening to this on a radio. We had a beautiful very large radio in a wooden cabinet. As a little child I used to sit by the speaker watching the lights inside and trying to see the "little people inside" .
I'm so thankful I found this music.

(short version of a longer story I like to tell.) My mother was born in 1914 in Macon, Georgia, she was 26 in 1940. She met the man she was to marry in 1941 or 1942, while working at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, in Florida -- he was in the RAF, over in the states for training purposes. She, being an anglophile from when she was a child, set her cap for him (old idiom, look it up,) and let him chase her, until she caught him. Well, that's what she told me many years later., when she thought I was old enough to understand - I was home on leave after Parris Island, in 1966.
He was transferred to Memphis NAS to finish his training, she got a transfer there, and they crossed the river into Arkansas (no waiting period after getting the license,) and married. He was transferred back to England. So she went to the British Consul in Macon, Georgia, and joined the Royal Women's Auxiliary Ambulance Corps, which allowed her to take a troop ship across the North Atlantic in 1943, and they lived at Buckingham Palace -- well, right at it, across the street in Slough, Bucks.
My older brother was born June 8th, 1944, in Slough, two days after D-Day, in a nursing home (the hospitals were closed to the general public, reserved for the war wounded.) She said, "As I was having him, a flying bomb fell two blocks from the nursing home. When the bomb went off, I popped him out like spitting out a melon seed. Easiest birth I had, courtesy of Adolf Hitler."
This was their music. I grew up listening to their record collection. They're all gone now, long ago, and I'll be 76 tomorrow. Never expected to live this long.
