My Favorite Songs
From 1949 and Earlier
This is a requested list from my friend in Stoughton, Al. He's ignited my interest in older songs a lot in the past couple of years. Kris also has burned me a few songs from before the 1950s. After a little research, I came up with this list of 15. The artist listed is the one who performed the version I like.
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, by The Andrew Sisters (1941)
Cheek to Cheek, by Fred Astaire (1935)
Foggy Mountain Breakdown, by L. Flatt & E. Scruggs (1949)
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, by Hank Williams (1949)
In the Mood, Glenn Miller (1939)
It Ain't Necessarily So, by Guy Lombardo (1936)
Lazy River, by Louie Armstrong (1931)
Moonlight Serenade, by Glenn Miller (1939)
Over the Rainbow, by Judy Garland (1939)
