These artist were before my time. I remember listing to them with my parents on Saturday nights and hearing them on the local oldies station. That was over 3 decades ago. I look back at those good times when us kids would dance around the living room with Dad an Mom (God rest there souls). My kids think I'm crazy when I jam to these great songs from the 50's and 60'. Thanks for bringing back those memories 1runrig!!
