Both of them having a lot of fun in 1957

 

[Alex Oviatt]

Not truly vintage, but have been listening to lots of the Jam lately (inspiration for my new avatar). Style Council, too.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

My favorite singer, hands down. I listen to Conway daily.

Conway, an icon!

Lord of the Rings Complete Recordings. This is great, 10 hours of Howard Shore (which does not quite add up to enough to make the movies, but oh well).

Dick Robertson -- Peace Of Mind (1929)

[video=youtube;pnGrwmn4_Cs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnGrwmn4_Cs&feature=channel_video_title[/video]

When first we met, I started dreaming
Planning, scheming, my brain teeming
With scores of blissful notions
About a home for two

We'll have it yet.
For now I see you care for me too
We'll soon flee to a shrine for our emotion
You're bound to see a sound idea

We'll have peace of mind, never cease to find
A cloud with silvery fleece aligned
When the lease is signed
For a home of our own

What if troubles brew? Joy will bubble through
And we spelled capital W
We'll have peace of mind
Hand in hand and alone

Life will be rosy, comfy and cozy
Happy the live long day
Work will be pleasure and at our leisure
We'll kiss the blues away

When we've done the task, in the sun we'll bask
And wonder what anyone could ask
More than peace of mind
In a home of our own

Skokiaan

This is pushing the Golden Era a bit, but so what...
Skokiaan (a Zulu word meaning a kind of moonshine) was a hit record in South Africa that swept the world in 1954. The composer and alto sax soloist, August Msarurgwa, plays it in the original tsabatsaba style.
[video=youtube;oxnXcBBdUBU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxnXcBBdUBU[/video]

The Four Lads made a hopelessly derpy vocal version of it, which I'll spare you. Instead here's Louis Armstrong, with Omer Simeon on soprano sax, and Sy Oliver's orchestra in 1954. It's become a "rumba" - tho the beat is about the same.

Finally the Lawrence Welk Champagne Music in 1959. Jack Martin is the soloist in a smooth fox trot styling by arranger Joe Haymes, who banishes the clanking banjos for a tasty trombone quartet.

[John in Covina]

I have a couple of versions of Skokiaan, one is from Prez Prado.
