60's Songs

Frank Sinatra and Syracuse and SU had a huge connection with Jimmy Van Heusen, a Syracuse native. He wrote many of Sinatra's songs in the 50's and was one of the great composers from the 40's through the early 60's, coincidentally the same timeframe of Sinatra's hey day. He was so close to Sinatra and Sinatra thought so much of his talent, that he's buried in the Sinatra family plot.
Cherie, I love your collection! Bob
 
Another instrumental I really liked was "Telstar" by the Tornadoes. It was named after the telecomminications satellite that was launched earlier in 1962. I never realized it but they were a British group.
They were also the first British group to reach number 1 in America.
 
judith durham was amazing on vocals.

Yes she was and they made some really good music in the 60s, here's the song they're most noted for.....

[song: Georgy Girl]
