Top Oldies – 1959-1963/1964 |
Oldies: Pre-Beatles The post-50s-pre-Beatles brought an amazing and often under-estimated, even forgotten, selection of quality popular music. This Era of Pop Music brought us the Girl Groups, Phil Spectre, and the post-do-wop sound of rock and roll. After this era, the Beatles changed music again. |
