Thank you for the birthday present! I was born in 1959 -- 61 years ago next week. Although I was an infant, it's nice to know what great music into which I was born.

That was the year I was born, and I have a little over half of these songs in my music library. My grandmother made me a fan of the McGuire Sisters. My grandmother was born in 1909 and lived in Middletown, Ohio during the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's, and I believe she met the McGuire Sisters in a church there somewhere in Ohio. My grandmother sang in church as well as the McGuire Sisters, and my grandmother was an awesome singer, just ask anybody who ever heard her sing, i believe she was even on some records way back when. She became good friends of the McGuire Sisters, she even baby sitted for (i think) it was Dorothy McGuire. I know when my grandmother spoke of the McGuire Sisters she always spoke very fondly and kindly about them, she said they were common down to earth decent people and she thought the world of them. So I kind of have a special place for the McGuire Sisters because of their friendship with my grandmother.

1959 is the year I was born too! Wish they made songs like that today.

When I was 10 years old and heard Guy Mitchell's song I wrote these lyrics for the refrain: "Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score,/My mother sent me to go to the store, I brought back a big fat apple core;/She said she wanted an apple pie, she didn't want a core;/But they didn't have any apple pies because they were so poor!"

That was right at my time

At 00:36 is Ivo Robić (not Ivo Robie). Otherwise, thank you so much Francis, for all these amazing compilations

[@ianlyons7689]

I think about the Winter Dance Party where a plane crash in Iowa claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper referred to as “The Day the Music Died” Bobby Vee and the Shadows filled in for Buddy Holly in Moorhead Minnesota, and Frankie Avalon, Jimmy Clayton, and Fabian were brought in as the replacements for the three fallen stars

[@eduardomotta6682]

Que bueno!!!

[@969thewhip]

I didn't think the Chipmunks went this far back.

[@gregorycutrera8326]

I Only Have Eyes For You can’t be that low! I thought it was a big song then

#43 Is Bobby Bare.

[@mauricemartin6419]

Hated 1959! No more Elvis: gone US Army, no more Little Richard: gone religion, no more Jerry Lee Lewis: gone & married 13 yo cousin, no more Buddy Holly and Richie Valens gone down in plane crash, no more Chuck Berry: gone to jail and soon to be (Apr 60) no more Eddie Cochran: gone and died in UK. Was just a 16 yo Lonely Teenager then and was stuck with Bobby Darin who'd just quit RnR to do that stupid non RnR Mack The Knife, Avalon and Venus and Why, Anka with that miserable Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Bobby Rydell who would soon come out with atrocities like Volare, Sway, That old black magicn, Fabian . . . well, although I did like Turn Me Loose.. TG Roy Orbison, Dion, Wilbur Harrison and very few more . . .

[@kokayk]

what about ricky nelson

[@mauricemartin6419]

@@kokayk Nah! Rick was part of the few teenidols I really enjoyed with Tommy Sands(most underated singer) & Dion. Although Rick's best rockers were 57-58 & by late 59 was not so great, he did have (Just A Little Too Much)also had to wait for 1961 for 2 of his best:Hello M Lou & Travelin' Man. As for T Sands, 2 of his best, before he turned his back to RnR in 59 were: Worryin' Kind(charted No.69!!!) & B side: Bigger Than Texas. Both should have been Top 10, In 58 I just loved: After the Senior Prom was over, but never charted: Bad manager or Capital Records did not boost his records (like Gene Vincent's?)...

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

The Music certainly Sucked the Year I was born. It certainly got better around the Mid 60s. I have that 'Kookie lend me you Comb' on a 45, I was looking at it a few Months ago

[@duncancurtis5971]

Songs of the Civil War!

100 years too late

[@dougmontgomery1868]

The actual song titles as sung are awkwardly truncated the way they are played back here. Whoever assembled this montage could have done a better job of it.
