I came across a beautiful version of Unchained Melody earlier today, and it started me down memory lane.

Surely there are others here that remember when our America was .. I don't know .. mischeifously innocent.

And the music said something .. to us anyway.

Join with me now as we lull our memories with gems from the past ... DooWop, 50's and 60's.

A very grateful tip o' th' hat to youtube.

Wonderful Tonight

Elvis’s unchained melody was much better.
