Nothing like cruising down a dull, straight highway on an endless road trip and flipping on the Oldies station to turn your mood around. People just can't help but smile when they hear the up-beat, classic tunes from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s - it’s like it was programmed into you at birth. Those decades saw the birth of rock n’ roll and gave us some of the most enduring artists in the music business. It’s hard to believe it, but legends like The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Elvis all walked the earth at the same time. In a way it was a more innocent time, with songs about talking to a girl at the soda shop and kissing her in your car instead of drinking in da club, but the fresh, pure spirit of the music is undeniable. Oldies also included the doo wop influenced R&B of the Motown sound and the heavier blues rock style of UK bands like The Who and The Rolling Stones. Then there’s the one hit wonders of Oldies Radio. It’s funny, but did you ever notice how each station has their own regional playlist that shows up in heavy rotation? Maybe your hometown always plays Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” or Del Shannon’s “Runaway.” Rockabilly’s influence on classic rock becomes strikingly apparently when listening to Elvis or Chuck Berry’s early work. These days, oldies are great when you’re looking for that perfect ringtone—there are enough love songs to find a tender tune for that special someone. Whatever you choose, when you’re phone busts out some classic oldies, you’re guaranteed grins.
