FAVORITE SONGS FROM THE 50'S

[Rescued One]

My Dad took us to see South Pacific in 1958. "This Nearly Was Mine" is a beautiful very sad song.

I love "Magic Moments" that my husband would play on his trumpet --- such a happy tune.

Well that depends on the perspective to an 80 or 90 year old i am a youngster. But to a 5th grader i am an old man.

"When you hold my hand,
I understand
The magic that you do,
You're my dream come true. . .only you."

Do you remember Tweedlee Dee by LaVern Baker?

No, but I remember My Happiness by Connie Francis and The Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton. And Put Your Head on My Shoulder by Paul Anka.

I have to cheat and sneak in a 1963 song. I only remembered how much I loved it, but didn't remember that it came out in the sixties! It was Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton.

Not bad for a youngster!

She wore blue velvet,
Blue as the stars in her eyes (if I remember correctly).

I was born in the 1960s but I listened to older & current music in the 70s & 80s. From the 1950s, I had an unfamiliar ( to me anyway)doo wop song: There’ll Be No Good Bye by the 5 Delights on a cassette collection of otherwise more familiar 50s hits. There’ll be No Good Bye seems like a real highly talented performance.
