The 50s And 60s Was The Best Era For Music. Oh! Yes It Was!

Such a great thread, because there are such nice comments, as well as the good music.

Here's one I always liked from the Fifties. Also done by The Four Lads, but I like the Mills Brothers' voices better, I think.

Mills Brothers - Standing On The Corner - 1956

 

Hello Nancy...
Yes I do agree with you... I like this song too...I can remember Dean Martin was sing this on his TV show, and he watch all the pretty girls...he is funnny! I enjoy to hear it once again - thank you... it make a lot of nice memories - my parents was like Mills Brother songs...they voices was blend together so well... I miss see singing groups like this! Too bad no others do this any more. Supremes, Four Tops, Beatles, all those kind of group that was so entertaining for so many. Ah well...times change and we has no choice but to change with them - thankfull we can still see the videos and hear they music, yes? :) xo From Gia
 
Hello little Gia and thank you for your music. Not looked into the other place for a few days but hope all is well.

Well the "Creep" was back in my younger teens, all big band stuff then and us teens hated it, we wanted to Jive which was banned and real music.
Anyway the "Creep" came in first, real up close where it mattered and the girls milked it, teasing us young lads rotten . So Sat night normally meant walking home four miles with "lovers nuts" as the Doc called it , painful I tell you, but you are a nurse.:D Good days they were.

Yes there is another music thread , I was posting on it. Called "What are you listening to" , I think? Under "Entertainment"

Sorry Nancy but your choice is not available in the UK. I remember "Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by". Not sure if that is the same song.

Now pure magic, I can say no more.

 

Ahhhhh Anglo....you do love to express you self in a "shocking" manner, do you not? Some thing tell me that I should be very grateful that I not around when the Creeps Dance was popular.. :stung: yike! Sorry for that long walks home for you.

I have not hear Louis Armstrong sing this song before - it is very touching song - I think he sing this when he much older in age? I dunno...sound a little bit like he is older - but still he sing with such a meaning. Very nice. ** Yes, I think this song that Nancy have play is that song you ask about.. Good one... wishing all a nice evening... Ciao! :)
 
The 68-year-old jazz great was sick at the time, but he nailed the song in just a single take but was too ill to play his trumpet. However he was paid a fortune to record it for a James Bond film,,,.. He died less than two years later.

Now do you want some jiving in "Brothel Creepers", it all went on here in the 60's. The "Mods and Rocker" fights at Brighton, they still come down, old boys now and the best of friends.

Hey Nancy.
It is nice to see you joining in with your lovely comments about our lovely comments.
Regarding Standing On The Corner.
It was the King Brothers who had the hit with it here in the UK.


Its the same with your Johnny Horton and The Battle Of New Orleans.
In Great Britain it was Lonnie Donegan who had the number one hit here...

Yes Anglophile. Same song as BC posted by the King Bros.

Is there any way I can determine, before posting, if a video won't play in the UK?

I don't want to ruin your nice thread by posting things you all can't see.:(

Don't worry Nacy, keep posting your toons it is normal for some not to be played in other countries and it is only Boo's horrible taste in music that spoils the thread :D:D

 
In 1961, a new dance was started by a group named The Dovells. The dance and song was appropriately named, "The Bristol Stomp." BTW, Bristol is a suburb of Philadelphia. The lead singer is Len Barry of "One-Two-Three" fame.


 
Great Oldman, I have noticed before how they love to wave their hands about the place. Then we also had a dance craze here called the hand jive. Bristol here was a good place to get the car nicked.



Now hard to believe I paid to see this guy , what was I on?

 
The weird thing about the "Hand Jive" video is that I did not see the dancers do the Hand Jive one time.
 
Oldman...

I remember hear this song, Anglo - Talking bout My Gen-er-ation ... :) Is funny, as you say, they was young and fight all the time - but then they mature and become good friend. That is nice. - - Louis Armstrong - I THOUGHT I hear a tire ness in he voice in that song... it sound as though he struggle, but bravo to him for make a lots of money to record it for James Bond. (always you get James Bond in some where) ;) ....... Louis was die too young - makes us to wonder what was the cause.. He leave such a strong legacy for us - we can continue to enjoy the music for all time. Thank you for find out that information..I appreciate. :)
 
Ahhh Boo :eek:......Anglo not sweet talk to Gia... that just how he is... and you also... sweet talk to all the lady..:rolleyes: Nice song! Wishing for all a nice day... xo From Gia :)
 
Thank you Boo, but YOU the one with all the personality! ... You are born a show man... :) ... very nice songs.. :) Ciao! xo
 
50s & 60s the last generation of actual musicians making music that become popular. Now mediocre music talents feed their trolls.

Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Real musicians playing real music doing take after take in the studio until they got it right.

Nowadays, I doubt that there are very many REAL musicians on records.
Just synthesised and mixed stuff sounding rubbish!:D
 
You so goofy �� I shaked the hiney...�� Thanks!
