Description:
Timeless '50s pop hits recorded live! From the hit PBS show!
The 1950s could be considered the last days of innocence. While Elvis gyrated to "Jailhouse Rock" and "All Shook Up," Pat Boone mused about "Love Letters In The Sand." Pop music, short for "popular," was just that: music enjoyed by mom, dad and kids alike.
The PBS concert special The Magic Moments: The Best Of ’50s Pop, taped at the Trump Taj Majal in Atlantic city on April 21, 2004, celebrates that era with many of stars of the ’50s singing their biggest hits in front of an appreciative audience.

Excellent nostalgia concertNov 17, 2007 I saw this concert on PBS, another entry in the My Music concert series produced by T. J. Lubinsky, and found it to be excellent. It is refreshing to hear some of these old timers who can still belt it out, and very educational for some of us folks younger than seventy who just enjoy good music, but haven't seen many of these artists for obvious reasons. It is an excellent DVD, and although the McGuire Sisters did look a bit alarming, it is still a worthwhile addition to anyone's music performance library.

magic moments the best of the 50sNov 12, 2007 We loved this cd. The highlight was the Waywood Wind by Gogi Grant. They all souded great a lot like the original record. IT was great to hear 26 miles. I flew into Los Angeles from Austalia and when the pilot said we were flying over the Catalina Islands I knew we had 26 miles to go.You can a lot from music.

Really Bad DVDSep 06, 2007 Poor quality DVD. Wait until you see the McGuire sisters. Big time "duck lips" from too many face lifts. Do yourself a favor and skip this DVD.
