Oldies But Goodies

I know this page may seem a little strange for this website, so let me explain. I decide that I wanted to make a list of some of my favorite music so that my children and grandchildren could see what kind I enjoyed during my lifetime. I was born in 1942 and remember music all the way back from that time until the present. However, most of my favorites were from the 1940s through the 1970s. While doing research to compile a list of my favorites, I decided to include all the most popular songs of that era that I could locate, even though they may or may not have been among my personal favorites or even ones that I actually remembered. The actual titles are also limited by those that I could actually find available on YouTube. I have also included biographical information on the appropriate recording artists and groups where available.

Since I have already gone through the trouble of making this list, I then decided to share with others who may be interested. I hope those of you who are interested in this stuff find it both interesting and convenient to reminisce. I have divided the music up into categories to make easier for you to peruse what I have found. By the way, for my children and grandchildren, my personal favorites are those highlighted and in red. Just for the record, my list of oldies but goodies currently totals 2771 but I may add or delete titles in the future. Enjoy!!!
