Title: What's your 1950s - early '60s youtube song? Post by: Allhallowsday on May 21, 2009, 09:50:27 PM While posting on "songs everybody loves you hate" (yeh that's it) I thought of seeing if anybody else loves '50s music like I do. Think of the 1950s for music as not ending until the British Invasion, about 1964 (not entirely accurate, but good for broad strokes, like grandma had).
Here's where the '50s party starts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN6eWf4XpiE Here's a couple more to get the party started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3-OaNevkfg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1Qo1eaWF8c Title: Re: What's your 1950s - early '60s youtube song?

Not a 50s performance, but Lloyd Price's 1958 single may be my favorite pop recording from the 50s. Title: Re: What's your 1950s - early '60s youtube song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltRwmgYEUr8 Before Carole King became famous as a singer herself, she was writing a lot of these hits in the early to mid 60s. "Will You Still Love me Tomorrow" was recorded by the Shirelles. 1960, I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmWRjjpBlWw Not sure why somebody spliced the clips from "Rocky and Bullwinkle" and "Mr. Ed" in there.

Not so '50s though, THE BEACH BOYS started early 'nuff for this thread, but being transitional, ("I Get Around" went to #1 in summer 1964) an amazing feat in the BEATLES and BRIT INVASION era, but a bit late for our interests...
