Depends.

I have Ella Fitgerald singing Cole Porter's 'It's Delovely' (recorded 1956) Johnny Cash , I Walk the Line (also 1956) Eartha Kit singing Let's Fall in Love (recorded at some point in the 50s) also Just a Gigolo (Louis Prima, 1956) and You're the Top (recorded before the 50s but still a popular song).

Any of these any good?

Thanks - I really needed 1950-1 max, though.

I just need a song or two I can hear and write into the mood of the fic I'm working on.

Well all the Cole Porter songs were written by1951 and Mad About the Boy is very 1950s. And although it is sung by a woman it is a very gay song (don't know what you're writing or if that helps). It was originally sung by a man.

I will have another look at what I have though.

Also Dinah Washington, Mad about the Boy (I am trying to find out when that was recorded but it must be before 1963 because she died that year).

does this listhelp?
I'll look around and see if I have any songs from those years and email tomorrow.. Is the gmail the right address to use? I didn't get a reply from the Camera Obscura email so I'm not sure if I have the right email for you?

We never use the TCO emails for personal stuff, so go ahead with icedmaple at gmail.

Thanks, hon.

Ohhh, I'd used the alfirin one! Shall hopefully send you some songs tomorrow.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Well, icedmaple is forwarded to alfirin automatically...

Oops I meant, I'd sent you the pic of the Camera Obscura sign but obviously to an older email address so I'll send it again tomorrow

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Ohh - dude!

I did get that. I just forgot to reply! It was hilarious - thank you for that! ♥
