It is that day of the year again, so perhaps a general thread on music from that era.

Some of this history and songs we may know all to well.

If one wishes to go even to the '40s; a lot of that music is very good too.  It's all good.

I did not know about this song or artist who recorded a tribute number, nice graphics.

@jmyrlefuller

I've thought "white sports coat and a pink carnation" sounded a bit corny; but this band from Ireland picked it up and covered it very well.  A new perspective on the song. Again Irish singing this.

I've liked this image in particular, note, the 3 gals are Asians (assuming the one with her back to us is also). I'd like to see the original painting.

Retro bands are nice too.

The Firebirds have a good version of "Come And Go With Me" and it makes me appreciate the original more as well.

It's all good. Pookie is really an in-house expert on this.

I also opened this up because all of the songs are worthy but what is amazing are the many songs that we may not know.

We know most of Elvis', I was listening to him last night but there were many other artists back in the day.

@Wingnut:

You were talking about Hoyt Axton, I found out that Hoyt's mother co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel" (Elvis); so he comes from a musical family. Hoyt and his mom are in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

From what I understand, J.P. Richardson (Big Bopper) had come down with the flu on the tour so he asked Waylon Jennings to give up his seat on the plane & Jennings did so. For the final seat, guitarist Tommy Allsup "lost" a coin flip to Ritchie Valens...

She is releasing a new album in 2017:

Quote

She hasn’t sung a note in a year or too and her regular appearances at veteran reunions have come to an end. In 2015 Dame Vera Lynn wasn’t well enough to attend the 70th anniversary celebration of VE Day. But she is still among us and on 20 March she qualifies for a telegram from Her Majesty. To celebrate, her original label Decca have dusted off some of the old tunes from the war and subjected them to a spot of spit and polish.

(Yes, that "Dedicated to the One I Love"---Lowman Pauling originally wrote it for the 5 Royales.)

They started as a sharp gospel ensemble before moving naturally to R&B. This box set tells their whole story admirably:

I once looked at amazon, and especially the amazon.co.uk part, there were all kinds of books on her, like she was the biggest in music. I get as to how talented she was. I understand that. Check it out some time.

There is a pretty good bio here, @TomSea . She brought Motown to the UK, was described as the finest white female soul singer, and was inducted into the US and UK Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, and was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, (the feminine equivalent of knighthood, making her Dame Dusty..) Really, quite a career.

The Settlers - The Lightning Tree (was the theme song for a tv show called "Follyfoot")

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkJYSDdVnsE#)

The song is a limerick or something;

Down in the meadow where the wind blows free, in the middle of a field stands a lightning tree.
It's limbs all torn from the day it was born for the tree was born in a thunderstorm.

Grow, grow, the lightning tree, it's never too late for you and me;
Grow, grow, the lightning tree, never give in too easily.

Down in the meadow where the wind blows light, the lightning struck in the middle of the night.
Limbs stripped bare by the lightning flare the lightning flare was a wild affair.

Down in the meadow where the wind blows cold, the lightning tree stands stiff and old.
Branches bent when the lightning rent the lightning rent from the firmament.

Down in the meadow with the wind in the west, the lightning tree faced up to the test.
Its heart went snap when it took the rap, the terrible rap of the thunder clap.

Down in the meadow when the wind blows free, a whispering breeze in the lightning tree.
Dreams come true if you want them to if you want them to, then it's up to you.

One of those one-off songs, love it...

Production in the first song isn't that good but the song is okay. Jerry Lee's song has great production. Not the first time, that different songs have the same title. Much of the music was very good but often, one finds it was derivative.
