Good day everyone!! Iam working on making my mom "the ultimate" oldies music collection. Since I don't know that many good oldies, I was hoping for a little imput from ya'll. 🙂

So far I have:

So happy together
Do you love me (now that I can dance)
and Its my party

Any more good songs would be awesome!!

Thanks!
 
Yup, I've started to realize that 'oldie' is a subjective term!

I like:

Son of a Preacher Man Dusty Springfield

just about anything Motown

and some of that funky psychedelic stuff, like Incense and Peppermints.

🙂
 
"Down in the Boondocks"
"Chain Gang"
"Mr. Tambourine Man"
"Stand by Me"
"Sound of Silence"
"In My Room"
 
How many people see those commercials on the boob tube that want to sell two cd's for $29.99? They play a few songs and flash the names. Once you place the name with the song, you go right to napster and get it! hehe

Cheers!
 
Thanks guys!!!!!!!! Thats an great start.

About the time range...I don't know 😱....well I would imagine 60's and 70's.

 
"Wake up Little Suzie" and anything by Buddy Holly. "Cherish" by The Association is one of my mother's favorites as well.
