I needed a day off I made the mistake of sitting on my deck far too long yesterday so I started looking through archived medleys and settled on this for today: The Fabulous Fifties!
I hope this blast from the past makes you realize just how good the music was in those long ago days!
During this archived medley, you’ll hear me say tomorrow will feature an archived Sixties Revolution. While that may have been true when this medley originally ran, it’s not true this week. I will be back with something new on Thursday!

Good Morning Ray. Hope you enjoy today as much as Ted & enjoyed the medley. Nice choice. Thank you 🙂 Lee & Ted
Thank you, Lee & Ted. I thought I couldn’t go wrong with the 50s. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 🙂
The 50’s were so defined and so fine too. I love listening to these old songs, it really takes you back. Some I was like a preteen, but I developed a love for music long before that. Just hearing Freddy Cannon and Jackie Wilson both awesome! But the big bopper, and Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly are absolutely some of my favorites from back then. Seems to me they were headliners together in shows. And we’re all three of them killed in a plane crash? Or just two of them? Any rate loved their music. Thank you for this. The best as always. 🥰
Thanks, Sandy. The three died in an Iowa plane crash in 1959. I’m glad you enjoyed the replay! I’m sitting here working on tomorrow’s medley right now!
Oh Boy, these were great. Such a time of innocence, with no worries, wondering and dreaming of what our first love would be. Just love this period of music.
Thanks, Pat. You are quickly becoming my poster child for the Fifties!
Be bop a lu la great medley!
That’s what archives are for…glad you’re pleasing yourself along with the rest of us
Thank you, Mary Helen. In between writing history lessons and creating medleys, there are some days I don’t have a minute to myself. Thank you for understanding.
As always, great medley and I’m glad you took the day to take care of you, a we want you healthy and feeling good and your medleys are always awesome. Take care today my friend <3
Thank you for understanding, Nancy. I am much better than I was three months ago, but there are still days when I need to decompress and walk away. ❤
Another great medley! Even though it was before my time, I know most all of the songs and sang along to a few … LOL
Have a great day my friend.
XXOO
An unforgettable decade of music, Penny. It made everything that followed so much better.
The 50’s! The birth of some of our greatest music as well as the birth of a great generation.
Thank you for taking me back in time.
All really great tunes and artists.
Thank you, Jim, Without those music greats in the Fifties, the Sixties would have been much different!
Ray been busy the last few days but today you had me car dancing!! I am sure people thought there was a crazy man driving and singing!! I love these oldies!! And if people saw the view you have sitting on your deck they would never leave and I must credit your fantastic wife for that!! Hope to get to the History later!! As always you are the “goat” of the music business!!
Love and may God Bless!!
Thank you, Fred. I would have paid to watch the car dancing!
As far as being the “goat,” somedays I feel like an old one. 🙂
Love ya and may God Bless!
