Jim in Anchorage Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Buddy Holly at yes the Arthur Murray dance studio. Remember that? I had to edit this post to put in the one where Arthur Murrays wife is introducing Buddy Holly as a "rock and roll specialist". Good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQiIMuOKIzY Edited October 22, 2014 by Jim in Anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hard for me to say my "favorite" from the 50's, but I'll offer this. One of the 50's great standards, sung by one of jazz's greatest singers and recorded in the year of my birth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is considered a jazz standard, but I can understand if you wouldn't label it jazz by the way it sounds. But Ella is most definately a jazz singer. How about another standard from the 50's?

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah but BS were standing on the shoulders of giants. no, they started their own style, they may have been inspired by the success of earlier generations but their music is all their own. Actually Metal has a lot of roots in "heavy" classical music, even some of the guitarists had classical training, something that youngsters could learn today as many of them couldn't put a tune together to save their lives. "Randall William "Randy" Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982)[1] was an American heavy metal guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot. He died in a plane accident while on tour with Osbourne in Florida in 1982. A devoted student of classical guitar, Rhoads combined his classical music influences with his own heavy metal style." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Rhoads Edited October 19, 2014 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And jazz. But can we confine this to music recorded in the 50's? You can start a heavy metal thread you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
