1959 : Sam Cooke – Everybody Likes To Cha Cha Cha (Mp3 Download)

This is one of the oldest cha cha tracks and it’s from my favorite singer from the 60s, Sam Cooke. I would like it if an artist today does a cover version and give it more of a beat to make it relevant to the current generation as it’s such a classic that shouldn’t fade...

1957 : Bobby Helms – Fraulein (Mp3)

I remember when I was a teenager and had a vague dream about falling in love with a brunette from the 60s. As soon as I woke up, this tune came playing in my head. Because of that, it’s one of my favorite songs from the late 50s. A classic by Bobby Helms. DOWNLOAD 1957 : Bobby Helms...

1961 : Neil Sedaka – Calendar Girl (Mp3)

Me like. 60s is an era I sometimes I wish I was born, in America, attending school proms and dances. Well, again, this is because of my superficial view of America from the movies based in the 60s. Anyway, take nothing away from this Neil Sedaka classic, a sweet tune about calendar...

Conor Maynard – Tryin’ (Song Review)

Another Justin Bieber in the making? I doubt he’ll have the “weird” success that the mop-hair boy has, which I can hardly believe. Conor uses the same formula as Bieber, relying on the 4 chords that made most of the 60s tunes a classic – G Em C D, similar to...

The Freshmen – Hello There (Song Review)

At first, I thought it was Verve Pipe, then I realized Verve Pipe’s tune was The Freshmen, and not the other way around. I guess this bunch were influence by song but did not show it here as this is a progressive rap alternative tune with an old school beat from the 60s, also similar to...

James Durbin – Love Potion No 9 (Mp3 Download) Review

James Durbin surely is a better singer LIVE rather than behind a mic in a studio. Something’s just isn’t right especially with “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” rendition. However, this studio version fares a lot better than I expected it to. I hope James Durbin releases a...

Eliza Doolittle – Pack Up (Mp3 Download) Review

Looks like Amy Whinehouse has introduced a new fad – songs with a throwback to the 60s. Duffy followed it successfully with “Mercy”, and now Eliza Doolittle is jumping on the bandwagon. While it’s not as catchy as “Rehab” nor “Mercy”, it’s...

Wish – Suga Daddy (Mp3 Download) Review

This is a really catchy tune by Wish. She intelligently takes a 60s classic tune from Martha Reeves called “Heatwave” and makes it her own. Keep an eye for Wish, whom I think has a lot of potential to be embraced by the music masses. Hell yeah! DOWNLOAD Wish – Sugar Daddy...

1961 : Sam Cooke – Cupid (Mp3 Download)

I have a favorite artist for every decade, and in the 60s, it was Sam Cooke. There’s a number of songs that I truly enjoy listening to Sam Cooke’s crooning, and this lovely little song is one of it. It’s so delivered with class despite the name of the song. DOWNLOAD Sam Cooke...

Cee Lo Green – F*ck You (Mp3 Download) Review

What the hell. Haha, the song’s a throwback to 60s soul music, which is just bloody catchy, considering the vulgar song title. Obviously, he released a clean version for the masses, titled, “Forget You”, but the appeal becomes a little faded. Haha! I was introduced to this by...

Christina Milian – Kiss It (Song Review)

This is some elements that made 60s love songs a big hit. Christina Milian re-uses that formula but does not overkill it. While she will find it difficult to upstage her big hit, “AM to PM”, this is a pretty cool song. I think this will go down well with the ladies. DOWNLOAD...

Michael Jackson – Shout

[ad] A remake of one of the most popular rock n roll tune in the 60s by The Isley Brothers. It didn’t reach number one, though it became one of the most covered tunes ever. Now, MJ takes a stab at this, with a darker theme from the upbeat original. The jury’s out. Hopefully...
