(Finished July 10th, 2022) The Best Twenty One Songs of 1960

Hello,

I've been wanting to do a blog series like this for awhile

I will pick five or more songs from 1953 to 2022. I would've started a year earlier but I'm not very familiar with songs of the years up to 1952. In 1952 I was still -15 years from being born, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. 1953 is the first year I actually know six songs by title alone. I'll be posting anywhere as many songs as feels appropriate for each year. As these blogs continue I find more songs that I can't find a reason to leave off the list.

1) Percy Faith "Theme From A Summer Place":

2) The Everly Brothers "Cathy's Clown":
