(Finished July 12th, 2020) Some of the Best Songs of the 50s

Hello,

This blog was inspired by a scene from "Mad Men", which is below. I know "Mad Men" is set in the 60s and that "The Best Things In Life Are Free" is from the 20s. As much as possible I'm posting songs I have never posted before or have rarely posted.

Bert Morse "The Best Things In Life Are Free":

The 50's:

1) Dion and The Belmont "A Teenager In Love":

2) The Champs "Tequila":

3) Fats Domino "Ain't That A Shame":

This is such a cool song. 4) The Big Bopper "Chantilly Lace":

I know what the announcer says here, but the song was actually released in 1956.
