MORE 1950 PLUS



More from the 1950's when music was music. Basically I like the era from about 1955 through to 1970. But as you see it does range from 1920 forward but nothing much from the past 20 - 30 years.

Domenico Modugno (1928 - 1966) - Volare. Originally in Italian 'Nel blu dipinto do blu'
A world wide smash hit covered in the US by Dean Martin and later Bobby Rydell.
When entered into the Eurovision Song Contest this standard, that swept the world, could only come 3rd.
Later he became an Italian Member of Parliament.

Steve Lawrence - Party Doll - the Buddy Knox song
Debbie Reynolds - Tammy - from the film of the same name
Diamonds - Words of Love. The Buddy Holly song also covered in the best version of all by The Beatles - better than Buddy.
