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."

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.

 This Is A Must For Anyone Who Remembers These SongsMar 28, 2005
By C. W. Emblom
"Bill Emblom"
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.

A fantastic trip down Memory LaneFeb 19, 2005
By D. House
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.

Magic Moments indeedJul 19, 2005
By Ted Santos
"doowopted"
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.

By stewart L
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.
