Mattel Tommy Burst TV commercial 1960s!
Rare early 60s tv commercial for Mattel's Tommy Burst submachine gun detective set. This was my favorite toy of all time. Load in some fresh caps, pull the bolt back, and it made a God-awful noise and it produced a small cloud of smoke around the barrel tip. It was fantastic!! Guaranteed to take your friends & relatives down, one at a time. ^_^

1960 What? by Gregory Porter
Gregory Porter is giving fans of jazz singing a reason to look forward to the coming years. His debut album, "Water", was nominated for a Grammy and it introduced us to a male jazz singer with the kind of chops to dominate the category. For several years now, Kurt Elling has been the pre-eminent male in jazz singing. With the release of Water, Porter has served notice that Elling now has some company.

It's now or never, come hold me tight Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never My love won't wait. When I first saw you with your smile so tender My heart was captured, my soul surrendered I'd spend a lifetime waiting for the right time Now that your near the time is here at last. It's now or never, come hold me tight Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight Tomorrow will be too late, it's now or never My love won't wait. Just like a willow, We would cry an ocean If we lost true love And sweet devotion Your lips excite me, Let your arms unfight me For who knows when Well meet again this way It's now or never, Come hold me tight Kiss me my darling, Be mine tonight Tomorrow will be too late, It's now or never My love wont wait.

Kennedy vs. Nixon - 1st 1960 Debate

Clip from the 1st 1960 presidential debate between Senator John F. Kennedy (D-MA) and Vice President Richard Nixon (R-CA). Held on September 26, 1960, it was the first presidential debate between candidates from opposing political parties as well as the first one to be televised. It is best known not by its subject matter, but by the preparedness and physical appearance of both candidates. Television audiences thought Kennedy won the debate by a landslide, while radio audiences thought Nixon won it by a landslide. Nixon appeared emaciated, unhealthy, and awkward, while Kennedy appeared handsome, tanned and confident. Nixon was recovering from an injured knee that resulted in a recent hospital stay. He had just arrived at the studio after a strenuous campaign in which he made appearances in all 50 states, including newly admitted Alaska and Hawaii. He refused to have makeup applied to his face, and had not shaved, making his stubble clearly visible to television viewers. Kennedy on the other hand, took time to rest before the debates and his suit contrasted well against the background. In effect, Nixon's gray suit seemed to blend in with the background, especially on the era's black and white television screens. Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.

John Coltrane plays "On Green Dolphin Street" in Dusseldorf, Germany, March 1960. This is ultra rare footage featuring Coltrane with the Miles Davis Quintet of the time, sans Miles. Wynton Kelly is on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums. The audio is out of sync, I'll have to try converting it to a different format and reuploading it some other time....hopefully the quality of the music will tide you over in the meantime.

1960 - Wonderful New World of Ford
A wonderful promotional video for Ford Motors' new cars in 1960: The Galaxy, The Thunderbird, and The Falcon. This ad is a great throwback to the early 1960s and JFK era of innocence. Featuring an empty field with just the three cars and a horde of men and women in their ballroom best, the ad is awash in kitschy elegance.

Abebe Bikila wins marathon in 1960 Rome Olympics... barefoot.
50 years ago in the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Abebe Bikila won the marathon event, 24 years after Mussolini had conquered his homeland of Ethiopia. He won in world record time (2:15:16) & becoming the first African to win an Olympic medal. Not only that, he did it barefoot (after they couldn't find a pair of shoes that fit him comfortably)! Mind you a lot of the streets here in Rome are cobblestone & since it was so hot the race was started at sunset & ended in the dark of night lit by Roman soldiers holding torches. He was a last minute replacement for the Ethiopian team & didn't even start running until he was 24. Evidently a few KM from the finish, Bikila saw the Obelisk of Axum, which invading Italian troops stole from Ethiopia during WWII (& only restored to Ethiopia in 2008). At this point Bikila was neck & neck with the Moroccan Rhadi, but wen he saw the obelisk he surged & Rhadi couldn't keep up. Even though he had an appendectomy 40 days before the event & wasn't able to train or expected to even run it, he went on to win again in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, this time with shoes, becoming the first person to repeat gold in the marathon. You might wonder what he could've done with "modern" training & equipment, but then again this also demonstrates the importance of natural talent & determination. The biomechanical efficiency of his stride is simply awe-inspiring

Forget that silly remake in 2002 This is the original and best movie version of the story. After scoring popular hits with When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds, special-effects pioneer George Pal returned to the visionary fiction of HG Wells to produce and direct this science-fiction classic from 1960. Wells's imaginative tale of time travel was published in 1895 and the movie is set in approximately the same period with Rod Taylor as a scientist whose magnificent time machine allows him to leap backward and forward in the annals of history. His adventures take him far into the future, where a meek and ineffectual race known as the Eloi have been forced to hide from the brutally monstrous Morlocks. As Taylor tests his daring invention, Oscar-winning special effects show us what the scientist sees: a cavalcade of sights and sounds as he races through time at varying speeds, from lava flows of ancient earth to the rise and fall of a towering future metropolis.

__NOTOC__
Year 1960 (MCMLX) was a leap year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. It was the first year of the 1960s and is also known as the "Year of Africa".
January – The state of emergency is lifted in Kenya, officially ending the Mau Mau Uprising.
January 1 – Cameroon gains its independence from French-administered U.N. trusteeship.
January 2 – U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy (D-MA) announces his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.

January 10 – British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan makes the Wind of Change speech for the first time (see February 3).
January 14 – The Reserve Bank and Commonwealth Bank are created in Australia.
January 19 – The Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan is signed in Washington, D.C.
January 21 – A mine collapses at Coalbrook, South Africa, killing 500 miners.

* Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh descend into the Mariana Trench in the bathyscaphe Trieste, reaching the depth of 10,911 meters (35,797 feet) and become the first human beings (and so far the only) to reach the lowest spot on Earth.
