[Nostalgic Collection] Classic Oldies: Recommended Popular Songs (61–70)
I Only Have Eyes for YouThe Flamingos
The Flamingos’ “I Only Have Eyes for You” is a world-famous doo-wop classic that also won a Grammy Hall of Fame Award.
The song was originally written as the theme for the film “Dames” and went on to become a global hit.
It’s also well known for having been covered by many artists, including the Japanese musician Tatsuro Yamashita.
Hello Mary LouRicky Nelson
This song, with the same title as the one sung by Johnny Duncan in 1960, was covered in 1961 by the American artist Ricky Nelson.
It’s a rhythmical, upbeat number with a country flavor.
No Particular Place To GoChuck Berry
He was the god of rock ’n’ roll who shocked the world by releasing a new album at the age of 90, only to pass away shortly afterward.
This song reached No.
10 on the U.S.
charts in 1964.
There’s no need to say much more about him at this point, but among his many masterpieces, this track doesn’t get as much attention, so I really hope you’ll give it a listen.
Tutti-FruttiLittle Richard
When it comes to quintessential, high-energy rock ’n’ roll tunes, this song is surely one of the standouts.
The title “Tutti Frutti” is Italian for “all kinds of fruit” and refers to colorful candied fruit, but many parts of the lyrics are rhythmically packed with onomatopoeia, and the title itself has an onomatopoeic ring to it as well.
It’s a classic that makes you want to start dancing.
Leader Of The PackThe Shangri- Las
A three-member girl group that marketed a bad-girl vibe.
They have a song about a biker gang leader, with motorcycle sounds dropped in as sound effects.
It’s a Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller work, and it really shows how this kind of delinquent flavor tends to go over well in any era.
Chances AreJohnny Mathis
Johnny Mathis was a pole vaulter talented enough to aim for the Olympics.
He’s famous for being scouted while singing at a local club and quickly rising to stardom.
His rendition of “Beyond The Sea” is arranged with a gentle, soothing sound that feels open and relaxed.
Teen angelMark Dinning
Released in 1959, this song by Mark Dinning became a huge hit, reaching No.
1 in the United States the following year, 1960.
It’s also well known for being used in the 1973 coming-of-age film American Graffiti.
Its simple, sweet melody is enough to bring you to tears.
