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.

We enjoy listiening and watching this DVD on our HDTV. We play this when have friends over with the volume low and find them humming or singing along.

This is an excellent live concert,volume one of two,originally aired on pbs...This concert contains 24 plus hits,and many musical clips of your favorite stars from the fifties era...It was very important,to get these great artists,on stage to help keep the music alive...Many of the artists are slowly passing in time...It is very important for people from future generations,be,able to hear this wonderful music...From any generation,whatever music you like today may sound weird or dated to future generations....Everything played today will be tomorows oldies...I love and own both albums from pbs..This set makes an excellent gift. 5 star rated...I thank you stewart L.

5 out of 5 stars Magic Moments indeed.......2005-07-19

A must have video as a lot of these people are passing on. There is even some video of those that have passed such as Dean Martin, Perry Como etc. This was the great standards of the 50's. Hosted by Pat Boone and the McGuire Sisters who came together just for this evening.
