I'm guessing that disco took over the air waves in about 1973. (I do of course love many tunes from the early '60s and some even in the '90s. My favourite music however has been "progressive rock", but that is fading as I age. Nice, soft jazz anyone?)

The basic reason for that is because todays music is essentially created on a computer; samples are mixed, voices added, everything tweaked and the result spat out as an MP3. In our day (I'm 75) that didn't exist. Musicians had to play instruments and singers had to be able to sing. It wasn't until (approximately)1964 that the the first pop record featuring synthesised music (a stylus-operated keyboard of sorts) was issued......and it was pretty ordinary. We Boomers are lucky in that it was our music tastes coupled with 45rpm records played on portable transistorised record players which changed music forever. Today anyone can churn out a load of utter rubbish and call it "music".

Also the instrumentation of the songs back than was much more better. Handmade music from guitar, bass, drums with classic Orchestra instruments Today it's to much electronically. Today they can make a bad voice sound good. Back then you had no chance, if you can't really sing. I mean not singing like many people today. There are no more extraordinary artists like Elvis, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, BB King, Aretha Franklin. Today it's to much soulles music and no charismatic personalities. They are all nearly the same. Looks like they are aligned.

I love Petula Clark and have a CD of her songs - this is one her best, arguably the best of all. Being a Seinfeld fan I also remember the episode where George's only clue to a work task he has to carry out is the Petula Clark song "Downtown" The late 'sixties had some wonderful music - gotta love the modern technology that let's us still enjoy these gems long after the people who made it have gone.

You could also understand her. A lot of "singers" these days, you can barely understand them. Ellie Goulding, for one, half the time tries to sound "veddy, veddy British," but the other half she sounds like a lower-class dolly bird. Ms. Clark, though, succeeded in conveying the "veddy, veddy British" with her clear-as-a-bell voice.

Petula's surely got the moves! Look at her swing and sway, dancing to her own music. One of the best singers we had in the '60s. I even had the opportunity of watching her again in concert at MOA, one of the biggest arenas in the Philippines, don't remember what year, but recent..still great diva ❣️💕❤️
