Great Music from the 50s

I suppose this thread was inevitable...some of us are old enough to remember!

Music in the 1950s was more than Buddy Holley and Elvis;

This is my favorite song from that decade:

 

[HereIStand]

 

[4x4toy]

Saw this movie at the drive-in, I was probably 5 and was overwhelmed by it, loved it ..
I had a two tone green 57 ford Fairlane with a 312 intercepter 4bl that would fly 1rst car

My parents played records a lot when I was a young kid in the 60's. I always loved this one by Fats Domino...

 

[joyshirley]

And his version of Blueberry Hill too.

 

[HereIStand]

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

I remember Little Walter on his harmonica.

I thought I'd look up the number one song from my birth month and year (September 1958) and this was the American number one song.

 

[joyshirley]

And this was the UK number one hit back then. I haven't heard this one before.

Different genre', but same time period:

I remember this one when it came out (I was 5).

I would like to do this in karaoke...

I've always liked Ray Charles. Here is a song he recorded in 1959.
