Pre 1965 Tunes

[DriftingSand]

For us older fogies (or young fogies who like old fogie tunes) post your favorite pre-1965 tunes. Rock, country, ballads, opera, folk, bluegrass, gospel, or whatever. Post the year the song came out please.

For some reason, the following tune just popped into my head awhile ago.

Chuck Berry/Memphis Tennessee 1959:
