Written and originally recorded by Johnny o'Keefe and The Dee Jays in 1958 and covered by dozens of other artists, this is my pick for the best take. This chap is the real thing...

How about some old school rockabilly surf! I had never heard of these guys but ran across them on youtube. The guys on the guitars kill it. I love it. From 1962...
Little Remy & The Flying Rockers - Shadoogie
I think this is just the Flying Rockers. Little Remy seems to be a 50s era Bobby Rydell wannabe.
EDIT: They're Dutch!

I heard this song on XM today and it took me back to simpler days in the early 70s listing to music on an AM radio.
From 1970, Brian Hyland - Gypsy Woman
When I saw the artist's name I was surprised to realize that is same person who had the 1960 bubblegum pop hit "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"

This song was originally released in 1959 by Vince Taylor and Playboys but it's been covered by many times including The Clash and Beatle's Liverpool contemporaries Rory Storm and the Hurricanes who feature none other than Ringo Starr as their drummer before he joined the Beatles.
This is the original version of Brand New Cadillac by Vince Taylor and the Playboys...
This is The Clash's version https://youtu.be/uqTpZXcTc_s which is quite good also
And this is a version by Rory Storm and Hurricanes performed in 1960 at the Jive Hive...

Harry Belafonte passed today at age 96. This song was originally recorded by Harry Belafonte in 1961 but made popular again in the movie Beetlejuice. Who doesn't like calypso?

This song is from the movie Last of the Mohicans. It's title on the movie soundtrack is Promentory but it is an orchestration of the tune The Gael written by Scottish singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean and arranged by Trevor Jones. The film is set in the Adirondack Mountains of New York but most of it was filmed in western North Carolina at The Biltmore Estate, Lake James, and Chimney Rock Park (the promontory).
There are several versions floating on youtube but I like this one. If it doesn't stir your emotions, I don't know what will...

Today's selection is about nostalgia. Before Donnie Osmond became a boxer(yes, he boxed Danny "Partridge" Bonaduce to pay his rent) and back when Marie still had soft, non-scar tissue cheeks Donnie was a bubblegum pop sensation who was making teenage girls (and their older sisters) fling their panties at him with a bat of his eye singing songs like this one. From 1971...

I remember seeing this on MTV in the mid-90s. It was considered "alternative" back then, power pop maybe? I really liked this song but didn't care for their other music.

Welcome to another trip in the Way Back Machine. Today's selection is by Herman's Hermits who is still active but not with their front man at the time, Peter Noone. Peter still DJs on Sirius XM's Underground Garage channel occasionally btw. Anywho, in 1966 this song was the B side on the No MIlk Today single. What a shame. It should have been the A side.
