Overview

Oldies music is a wide-ranging and ever-expanding catch-all term that has come to encompass most pop, rock, and R&B songs released and played on the radio between 1950 and up to at least 10-20 years before the present. This book includes: - Doo-wop, Country, R&B, instrumentals, and novelty records that made the top forty but are now ignored by radio stations - An oldie they wanted to use on the X-Files that got nixed by the singer - A singer who also starred in a low-budget horror film - an artist who had two one-hit wonders under two different names - a group named after a horse - the sad tale of a singer who had to re-record his first single three times - a singer from a group with multiple hits who can only use their name in 14 Western Pennsylvania counties - a group that got their hits in the late sixties by re-recording their songs from the fifties - a singer whose biggest hit came while on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In - several hit records that had sequels that completed a story - a rock group that got nowhere until they recorded in Japan - a group that was overshadowed when they shared a bill with the Cockroaches
