DECADES - The Fifties - 1953

We are introducing a new feature at Tune Doctor and as always we hope you will contribute to this section. We are calling it Decades and it will feature every now and again:

The idea is to pick a year from a Decade and give a couple of tracks from that year, we/you can mention 2 events historical or anything that takes your fancy, your film of the year, your album of the year, a personal event you remember and finally a sporting event from that year.

To start it of, as I was actually alive during 1953 and of course as it is the Queens Diamond Jubilee. That is the year I have chosen.

DECADE 50's - YEAR 1953

HANK WILLIAMS - Your Cheatin' Heart,



BIB MAMA THORNTON - Hound Dog


FILM OF 1953

The Wild One - starring Marlon Brando

EVENTS of 1953

Although I was only 4 but I do remember the Coronation, all the bunting and the Mugs with picture of the Queen. Still remain a vivid memory. One of the first things I rember.

Great idea and fine song choices to start it all off, sir. I wasn't around but my brother was born that year, so it must have been OK! Looking forward to more vintage years from the Tune Doctor team.

SB - thanks for the comments...it is just an idea and suppose it does not task the brain cells to do...was of course not aware of music at that age but well I am sure that would have been my choices if I was!
