Golden Oldies Music

Please join us for an all request Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday Night in The Daily Doo Wop Rec Room. There’s lots of good music. It’s always a fun mix of artists and genres, mostly from the 50s and 60s. You’ll find tributes this week to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, as we are remembering February 3, 1959, the “day the music died.” The music did not die, but it was the end of an era with this fatal crash of these wonderful young musicians.

Many thanks to all those who requested songs! Here are 115 of your requests. Please click here to get to our Rec Room, and then click on the juke box to access the songs. Many apologies if we did not get to your request this week. We will try on another Saturday.

For More Golden Oldies Music       

The Daily Doo Wop Rec Room has daily featured doo wop, rock and roll, R&B, or rockabilly songs that were hits during the first era of rock and roll (that is, from about 1952 until the British invasion in 1964). After a song is featured, it then goes into the juke box. You are welcome to listen to any of the 40+ selections there. Every weekend, there is a Golden Oldies Juke Box Saturday Night, and the juke box is full of song requests from the 1950s and 1960s.
