Music of the 1960 s is a time when many famous songs were created, which are still known and performed at various concerts. On the other hand, however, it is also the time to which the phrase Sex, drugs and Rock'N'Rol, which is probably known to everyone, refers. At that time, rock music was associated with an exhortation to a rather chaotic, restraint-free life. The music community, members of popular rock bands abused drugs, even during concerts.

This period marks the peak of popularity of the band The Beatles and the phenomenon of beatlemania. In Britain, the development of youth subcultures of mods and rockers. The 1960s saw the first Monterey festival and the Woodstock festival.

In Poland, the 1960s was the time of bigbit music, overnight after the breakup of Rhythm and Blues was born Czerwono-Czarni, and Wojciech Gąssowski and the band Niebiesko-Czarni. The scale of popularity of "colorful" bands is also evidenced by the success of the Gdansk-based Czerwonych Gitar with Jerzy Kosela, Sewerynem Krajewskim, formed in early 1965 and playing the loudest in Poland. Nor can we forget such bands as Trubadurzy or Skaldowie, or singers like Czesław Niemen or Anna Jarocka.

One can talk endlessly about the 60s, it was an extremely colorful period in the history of music, and its stars are permanently inscribed in the pages of history.
