Dream LoverBobby Darin

Dream Lover (2006 Remaster)

Bobby Darin was an American singer, songwriter, and actor who was hugely popular from the 1950s to the 1960s.

“Dream Lover” is one of his signature songs.

He originally worked as a songwriter for Connie Francis, but he rose to fame when his 1958 release “Splish Splash” became a smash hit, selling over a million copies.

He also became a major star in films, even playing leading roles, but he was in poor health and died at the young age of 37.

Oh! CarolNeil Sedaka

NEIL SEDAKA – OH CAROL HD

This is Neil Sedaka’s second single, released in 1958.

With sorrowful lyrics pleading his unresponsive lover to accept his love, he sings it with deep emotion.

Despite that, the tune and melody are very pop and full of atmosphere.

He went on to rack up hits and leave many classics, and among them this song stands as one of Neil Sedaka’s signature tracks.

Put Your Head on My ShoulderPaul Anka

Put Your Head on My Shoulder (Remastered)

“Put Your Head on My Shoulder” is a single released in 1959.

Written by Paul Anka himself and issued during the height of his career, it became a major hit, reaching No.

2 on the U.S.

charts and No.

7 on the U.K.

charts.

With a quintessentially ’50s golden oldies vibe, it conjures up images of an American pub with colorful neon signs glowing all around whenever it plays.

Notably, the Japanese title at the time of release was “Anata no Kata ni Ho Uzumete” (“Burying My Cheek on Your Shoulder”), which is interesting because, whereas the original title could be read as more male-perspective, the Japanese title takes a more female perspective.
