Back in the day, way, way, back, we didn't have MP3's, CD's, ITunes, even cassette tapes. in the 60's, there were 8 track tapes, but before that there were 45's. They were these little flat vinyl disks, that you put on a thing called a record player, and using a arm with a diamond needle on the end, you played music. I know lots of you know what 45's are, even 78's.
Things were simpler back then, music was different, people were different. Was it better back then? I kind of think so. Sure there have been many musicians that have written or produced great music, but there are some, from way back, that many have never heard before.
Here is one song, by Jerry Butler, originally recorded in 1958, 52 years ago. Take a listen, you may remember it, or you may discover it for the first time.

Yeah, the crackle, and snaps, and pops, kind of like a bowl of rice crispies! I have a bunch of old LP's that I can't throw out. I will have to get one of those turntables that hook up the computer, and save them.
Isn't that lovely? I like that hissing noise the old players used to make.
Sounds like the guy who sang the original Stand By Me. I've still got my record player and a stack of 45's.
