1958 was a very good year. Remember when....
Listen to Purple People Eater here - You will love it!
---1958 "The Purple People Eater" was written and performed by Sheb Wooley and reached #1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958.
---1958 Jolly Green Giant was born. He appears on TV, but he looks like a monster and scares kids. So they lighten him up a bit, added 'Ho, ho, ho' and and a catchy jingle.
---1958 There are 4,063 drive in movie screens nationwide. Where you watched: Auntie Mame; A Long Hot Summer and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Bobby Day is most remembered for his 1958 solo recording of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit, "Rockin' Robin" - listen to the MP3 sample.....
Lots of very happy rockin' memories here!
This was one 'hot' car! 1958 Cadillac DeVille

1958 music
-featuring Elvis singing about life, love and heartache.
The 50 Greatest Love Songs
It's a shame that only one side of Elvis' multi-faceted talent is remembered 25 years on from his death but there is so much more to the millennium's greatest performer than garish jump suits and shaky legs. The 50 Greatest Love Songs reminds us what a great singer Presley was; coming from the heart with more feeling and passion than most could ever imagine, all 50 of these songs are classics of the last four decades. The double disc set includes all the up-tempo standards like the incredible "Suspicious Minds", "I just can't help believin'" and "Always On My Mind" plus the Dusty Springfield signature tune "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also included are some of his older works from before and during the cinema years like "Good Luck Charm", "Love Me Tender" and "Old Shep". So no blue shoes, no sequinned jump suits, just the king singing about life, love and heartache.

The Long, Hot Summer
Paul Newman has his glorious youthful swagger in this southern-fried melodrama, which marked his first picture with Joanne Woodward (they married after shooting ended). Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Orson Welles, Anthony Franciosa, Lee Remick and Angela Lansbury co-star in this riveting tale of life in the Deep South. Provocative and compelling, it simmers with sexual tension, bawdy humor and a powerful clash of personalities.

- Hi, Although I was born in the late 80's I do love classic music, in fact, I do listen to them frequently. Although the doors and other rock and roll bands glamored in the late 60's. They do look back to the forefathers that took the stage in the early years, such as the Beatles and Elvis Presley. Anyway great lens, classic, I love it.
