The Great PretenderTHE PLATTERS
Released in 1955 by the American Black vocal group The Platters, this song reached number one on the U.S.
charts.
The presence of a single female member within the male group adds depth and breadth to the harmonies, resulting in a richly nuanced piece that can be enjoyed in a smooth, heartfelt manner.
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.
Blue Bobby SocksPat Boone
A song by Pat Boone, who enjoyed immense popularity in the 1950s with a clean, wholesome image that stood in stark contrast to the then-popular Elvis Presley.
Although it did not become much of a hit in the United States, it was released in Japan in 1962 under the title “Kanashiki Jogakusei” (Sad Schoolgirl) and became a hit.
LucilleLittle Richard
It only reached No.
17 in the U.S.
in 1956, but it went on to have a tremendous impact on later rock & roll and R&B.
His vocal style is even said to have served as a model for Paul McCartney, and considering that the young Beatles once opened for him, you can see how great he was.
He also appeared with the Bangles in the music video for Walking Down Your Street.
ProblemsThe Everly Brothers
This is one of the hit songs by the brother duo The Everly Brothers, who were active from the late 1950s to the 1960s.
The cross-harmonies of the two country singers are beautiful, making it a perfect track for some light dancing.
