May be a stretch, but a song like The Longest Time by Billy Joel had a 1950s sound to it. Probably not what you intended with this thread though.
Sinatra still hit #1 in 1966 with Strangers in the Night
Finally, the Hall of Fame has a place in the sticky threads up above here in the Rock Lounge. I have noticed that the pictures I use often disappear. It would be great if I had access to edit that thread if possible, or if someone with editing ability could replace pictures now and then it...

We come to the end (for now) of our Hall of Fame project. 19(!) voters this round set a new record, so thanks to all the voters. While I'm at it, thanks to everyone who ever participated in this task. It is the board's Hall of Fame and wouldn't mean anything without the participation.
