Gurthanthaclops · 08-02-2009, 08:20 PM

To my dismay. The search button didnt gather any conclusive results for me, and I am too lazy to scavenge through all the pages of my results. So here I am making a new thread on favourite 50's / 60's Doo-wop, swing, rockabilly, Crooner era style music.

Its very straightforward. Just list your ten favourite artists / groups, and songs!
I'll start things off.

1.The Crows - Gee
2.The Dell Vikings - Come go with me
3.Five Satins - In the still of the night
4.The Penguins - Earth Angel
5.Norman Fox & The Rob Roys - Dream Girl
6.The Monotones - Book of love
7.The Passions - Gloria
8.Lewis Lymon & The Teenchords - Honey Honey
9.The Diamonds - Why do fools fall in love
10.The Charts - Dance girl

Of course there are a handful more that i would like to list. But that is your job!

well I love the Frank Sinatra and Jo Stafford stuff of the 1950s...but I'm more into the 1930s and 40s. The music is all so pretty and makes me wish I lived back when that music was popular! My friend went into a cd store to buy a Dean Martin greatest hits cd and asked the store clerk for help, and the kid was like "who's Dean martin?" Like seriously?!
I think that song Stand By Me came out around the 50s or 60s...that's one of my all time favorite songs

So sweet!

I always wondered what type of music was happened between that time. I know they had swing type music in the 20s but the 30s and 40s always seem like a blur then it just jumps to rockabilly in the 50s.

I have some random tracks from Gene Vincent, Dale Hawkins, Roy Orbison and Eddie Cochran. There were downloaded for a show I put together that focused on songs from different decades.

Jazz, swing, and big band music was big in the 1930s and 40s

Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire were pretty big in the 1930s and then Frank Sinatra got big around '39 (if memory serves me right).

Oh, do I need to put songs? I'm not very good with that... I'll end up repeating bands and stuff.
I love 60s girl groups (The Ronettes, especially, I love Ronnie Spector's voice so much)... And then I like some others, The Crystals, The Shangri-La's, The Shirelles, and then... I always liked the song Angel of the Morning by Merilee Rush and the Turnabouts... I hope that that's the name. One hit wonders ftw?
