This DVD is 88 minutes of great songs from the 1950's. The list of songs is provided above, so you know what you're getting. When you watch this DVD make sure you have enough time to see it to the end, because you won't want to turn it off. This music is timeless, and you are getting every cent of your money's worth. Nostalgia reigns supreme. In adddition there are interviews with Patti Page, The Four Lads, Don Cherry, The Crew Cuts, Gogi Grant, and The Four Coins. There is a companion DVD entitled "More Magic Moments: The Best of '50's Pop" that was available for those who pledged on PBS. However, it doesn't appear to be available for sale to the general public at this time. It contains more of the wonderful same music.

TJ Lubinsky who produces these series has put together another fantastic program showcasing the pop stars of the 50's. What a delight and enjoyment to see The McGuire Sisters, Gogi Grant, Debby Reynolds, Four Lads, Four Preps, Four Aces. They all sounded fantastic as they brought back their hits for us to all enjoy again. For those who loved the pop music of the 50's I strongly recommend you buy this dvd, you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

I saw a portion of this program on PBS and decided that I have to have it on DVD. A fabulous program - so many memories! My personal favorite is 'Little Darlin' by the Diamonds. I highly recommend this DVD!

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.

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.

I just watched the DVD "magic moments" - The best of 50s Pop. What happy times - what innocence in love, how relaxing, what memories of those days of growing up in the 50's when t.v. and music portrayed the ideal of what was wholesome. Maybe we were were using rose-colored lens to view the world of romance. But wasn't that romance so nice? Those of you who want to feel those feelings again, or those of you who were born after those times and want to experience another time in music and romance - definitely try this DVD.

50'S PEOPLE/IF YOU BUY THIS DVD YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.TRUE 50'S MUSIC & VERY ENJOYABLE.

This product is excellent. I recomend it highly for anyone who has a love for the music of the fifties.
