THANKSGIVING IN 1958 – A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR

PLAY THE SHOW

Today’s show is an anniversary celebration of music from fifty years ago. The difference in spirit from then and now is obvious in so many ways. For better and for worse, 1958 was a comparably innocent age, and each of these songs represents a specific aspect of that innocence. Here is what people were listening to during the holiday season fifty years ago;

1)    To Know Him Is To Love Him – The Teddy Bears

2)    A Lover’s Question – Clyde McPhatter

3)    Lonesome Town – Ricky Nelson

4)    Beep Beep – The Playmates

5)    The Blob – The Five Blobs

6)    Problems – The Everly Brothers

7)    One Night – Smiley Lewis

8)    One Night (of Sin) – Elvis Presley (edited)

9)    One Night – Elvis Presley

10)  Smoke Gets In Your Eyes – The Platters
