The 1960's music was probably the biggest Renaissance in music ever. The 60's genre generally covers the period from 1963 to 1969. The Beatles started the revolution with the release of 'Love Me Do' in October 1962. Suddenly we had a record written by the performers, which was unusual in those days, and different from anything else. Prior to that we had Rock and Roll which was mainly a collection of upbeat 12 bar songs often written and performed by black singers, Little Richard and Chuck Berry for example. A big influence was Buddy Holly who was killed in a plane crash on 3rd February 1959 (The Day the Music Died). The US government was so worried by this and the effect on teenagers, that it forced many record companies to stop producing this type of music and replace it with 'schmaltz', songs by such as Bobby Darin, Bobby Vee, Fabian and so on and the Twist craze, Chubby Checker etc. This was meant to calm US teenagers down. When the Beatles exploded so did music. Most came from England with the 'Mersey Sound', a collection of artistes and groups from Liverpool, The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Searchers being the main ones. Then came the Manchester Sound with Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, Freddie and the Dreamers and so on. London produced The Dave Clark Five and The Rolling Stones, Newcastle The Animals and Birmingham The Moody Blues, The Move and The Electric Light Orchestra. Add to that Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck, Dusty Springfield, Sandy Shaw, Eric Clapton and dozens of others and you had the new exciting music scene that the 60's brought. Most were self contained groups, the usual line up comprising or drums, bass guitar, lead guitar, rhythm guitar or organ/piano and a singer, unless the musicians sang. Almost overnight interest in existing artistes diminished. A few survived, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley etc and in the US The Beach Boys became the biggest act with The Four Seasons close behind but, by and large the new order took over. As the 60's progressed so did music, very rapidly. In the early part of the decade songs were relatively simple, boy meets girl, true love, me and you and so on but by 1967 The Beatles had produced Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, possibly the greatest album ever with much more complex music and which featured orchestral music, Indian instruments and even animal sounds. In 1967 we had the Summer of Love and fashions changed from Italian style suits with narrow trousers preferred by the boys and wide petticoat skirts for the girls with brightly coloured clothes and flared trousers, Girls wore tight mini skirts. Carnaby Street in London became the 60's fashion centre of the world. Naturally such good music could not last forever and soon the major record companies and money men took over and commercialism became more important. As the 70's dawned the good, raunchy and musicly excellent songs of the 60's gave way to glam rock and bubble gum music and has deteriorated ever since. Just look at the trashy drivel we have had since ... punk, rap, heavy metal. Need I go on?\n\nAs to the second part, how they got together. Well most were groups of friends with common interests in music. Most bought cheap instruments and learned how to play. Surprisingly there were some good singers amongst them and many flourished. In those days all music was 'live'. There were no pre-recorded backing tracks or tapes or miming and the musicians performed before audiences in youth clubs and coffee bars. The good ones progressed and bought better quality instruments and the best ones were picked up by the record companies. Men such as Brian Epstein, Mickey Most, Val Parnell and so on scoured England for new acts, signing up the best for their 'stables'. Almost every street had a 'group' of some sort. Many of the groups were ripped off by their agents who pocketed most o

You are correct about the title "Sixteen Fathoms Down" performed by Burl Ives and written by Mel Tillis  It was orginally on the 1962 album "It's Just My Funny Way of Laughin'" which is out of print and not on CD. Used copies of it can be found on the net.\n\nI can't find any reference of the single, though that doesn't mean it didn't exist. The flip side was probably on the same album. The songs on that LP were Funny Way of Laughin', Sixteen Fathoms Down, Brooklyn Bridge, Ninety-Nine, Thumbin' Johnny Brown, I Ain't Comin' Home Tonight, What You Gonna Do Leroy?, In Foggy Old London, That's All I Can Remember, Mother Wouldn't Do That, Poor Little \nJimmie, and Call Me Mr. In-Between.\n\nSixteen Fathoms Down is included in the boxed set "A Little Bitty Tear: The Nashville Years 1961-1965" on the Bear Family label.\nHere's a link - you can order it here or listen to a clip. It's track 27 on disc 1\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000001B0D/qid=1141356467/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/104-6221229-3806318?n=5174
