1958 Pop Music Review

I'm going to go through each year of our grammar school days and pick from the list of pop songs, the ones that I liked.  If I manage to put together a slide show we will use whatever you indicate the favorite is for the background of that year.  Here is the list I am drawing from and here are the ones that I find particularly likable or familiar.


Beep Beep is definitely my favorite.  When we were older I remember Bobby Einhorn having a copy of it and my making him play it till he was sick of it



And then there was the Purple People Eater







How about He's Got the Whole World in His Hands?






Yakety Yak





I don't remember listening to the Kingston Trio back then, but 1958 was the year for Tom Dooley






Great Balls of Fire




Peggy Sue






On a military note there was the March from the River Kwai and Colonel Bogey March






And then there was Western Movies





In the comments section of this blog vote for your favorite or suggest an alternate from 1958.  Be sure to comment here.  Facebook comments don't count.

  1. Although Mack the Knife didn't become a hit until 1959, it was recorded in '58 and is still my #1 all time favorite record. "Look out Ol' Mack is back"
