Last week, followers voted between 50’s and 60’s music. 50’s won, so here is one song from each year, 1950-1959.
Artist & Song
The Weavers “Goodnight Irene”
This kind of live version is fun. The crowd isn’t screaming, like they do now. They’re singing along. The song, itself, is classic. Simple, fun, and has a good melody.
Nat King Cole “Too Young”
Who doesn’t love Nat King Cole? Nobody, that’s who. His music is classic and classy, and that voice is a treasure. His style was perfect for the time, yet continues on into the 21st century.
Leroy Anderson “Blue Tango”
An orchestral piece that’s just fun to listen to. If you’re a band geek, like I am, it’s even more fun.
Percy Faith “The Song From “Moulin Rouge”” Another orchestral piece. Chill and romantic, but honestly not a fan.
Perry Como, Henri René & His Orchestra “Wanted”
Ahh... that 1950’s harmony. There’s nothing quite like it. A good song with the usual 50’s orchestra interludes.
Pérez Prado “Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White”
This list found quite a few band/orchestra pieces. This one is fun and easy to dance to.
Elvis Presley “Heartbreak Hotel”
There’s nobody like Elvis. That’s all.
Pat Boone “Love Letters In The Sand”
A good song, until the whistling. If you’re like me, whistling just gets on your nerves. If you can get past that short part, you’ll be able to hear the last line. All in all, a good track.
David Seville “Witch Doctor”
This is the most popular version, but not the original. The original was written and recorded by Ross Bagdasarian Sr in 1957. And, yes, that’s Alvin from “Alvin and the Chipmunks”.
Johnny Horton “The Battle Of New Orleans”
American history put to music. For my American patriots, this song is about the second time King George III invaded, and subsequently, the second time he failed 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Plus it’s catchy.
