Today, I’m writing this quick blog post to make a special announcement regarding All Time Classic Songs. As I mentioned in my one year anniversary blog post on September 18, I planned to make major changes to this blog in order to enhance the experience for my visitors.

The first of those changes was a re-design of the blog, which took place just over a week ago. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this design because it makes navigation easier and it looks better on the eye too. I certainly hope you also like the new design and I would love to hear your thoughts, comments or suggestions about it.

The second of these changes was adding more materials to this website and I must admit that I wasn’t too specific about that when I announced it because I had no idea what materials I could include. As a result, over the past week, I’ve been thinking about what other resources I could provide to my visitors.

And then 2 days ago, I had a brain explosion. A good one in fact. The lightbulb didn’t just turn on, it probably just exploded. I came up with an ambitious yet incredibly exciting idea to expand the services offered by All Time Classic Songs and it is this that I want to announce today.

So, as a result of quick implementation, I’ve decided to create a Download section on this website for visitors to download songs and albums from the greatest artists and bands from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. However, in line and in the name of ethics and integrity, All Time Classic Songs has decided to form partnerships with reputable companies such as Amazon and iTunes in order to give you access to these materials.

The bottom line is that All Time Classic Songs supports the legal downloading of music.

I do not believe in the illegal downloading of music because it doesn’t reward artists and bands for the great wonderful music they have produced that have filled up our lives with great happiness and awe. It’s only right that they get rewarded continuously for their efforts.

This is a major expansion of the site’s capacity and resources, and I have to admit that at first, I didn’t think I could do it. Nevertheless, I realized that it was harder not to go ahead with it.

The Download section can now be accessed via the menu bar at the top of each page. The artists or bands are listed in alphabetical order for your convenience. Keep in mind that it is a brand new section and at the time of writing this blog post, it was very empty. However, this is expected to grow considerably in the coming months.

So what are you waiting for? Download songs from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s today.

I certainly want to hear your feedback, comments and suggestions regarding the new download section.

Wow! Exactly one year has passed since I began this blog on Classic Songs and I can’t believe that a whole year has flown by so quickly! And it’s been a tumultuous year to say the least. There have been great times where I have been very motivated to write good quality articles and in addition, not-so-great times where the motivation and spark was not there to write articles for my beloved audience. But hey, that’s life! Life is full of ups and downs. In my opinion, it’s all about managing those downs so that you bounce back up as quickly as possible.

If someone had told me a year ago that this blog would be getting approximately 6,000 unique visitors every month just one year later, then I would have told them that they were crazy. It gives me great satisfaction and pleasure that I have been able to build such an audience while simply communicating and sharing my passion for Classic Songs. I hope you have enjoyed the articles and materials I have provided on this blog over the last 12 months.

The Future

The success that I have enjoyed with this blog has only made me willing to continue writing and improve the materials and resources I can provide to my visitors. As a result, I have HUGE plans for this website.

Here’s a little taste of what you can look forward to in the next 3 or so months.

• Blog re-design: in the next week or so, expect some big changes in the design and aesthetics of the blog. I believe that the current design has become somewhat stale and there is a need for a fresh look.
• More materials: in the next month or so, I will be putting up more ebooks and other resources for your pleasure. Most of these will be free but some will be paid.
• Forum: I do plan to add a forum to this blog sometime in the future, however, when this actually happens is not confirmed, but I would like to give you all a heads up about this.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for this blog, then I welcome them with open ears. Simply contact me.

New Blog

Finally, just before I finish up, I would like to mention the creation of another blog which will showcase another one of my passions: Classic Movies! It will contain articles and other materials on some of the greatest movies ever made. I thought the first year anniversary of this blog would be a perfect time to launch another one. If this is also your own passion, I invite you to visit my blog for articles in the following months.

Once again, it’s been a great honor and pleasure being able to share my passion for Classic Songs with all of you over the last 12 months and I hope to do so for many more years to come.
