1960: A Year That Transformed Music
Music in 1960 was in the middle of a revolution. It was the year when dance floors were packed with the infectious energy of Chubby Checker’s twist dance craze, which encouraged a whole new way to move to the music. Meanwhile, vocal harmony groups took centre stage, with girl groups like The Shirelles setting the tone for a decade of soulful, doo-wop-infused pop.
The rise of the Motown sound also took root, as Berry Gordy’s record label introduced a polished, sophisticated take on rhythm and blues, leading to future icons like The Supremes and Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, the sunny vibes of surf rock were beginning to emerge, paving the way for The Beach Boys’ signature sound.
The Early Spark of the British Invasion
While the British Invasion would reach full force a few years later, 1960 saw the earliest signs of change. Young bands like The Shadows and pre-fame members of The Beatles were starting to shape the sound that would soon take over the world. Tick Tock 1960 captures the beginnings of this movement, offering a glimpse into the music that set the stage for a global phenomenon.
