This week I’m joined by Jay Sweet, my former Tunestiles Podcast co-host, and we’re curating a nostalgic mixtape filled with golden oldies and doo-wop classics from the 1950s and 1960s! From timeless harmonies to unforgettable melodies, we’re celebrating the music that laid the foundation for rock and pop as we know it.

We’re taking our musical DeLorean back to revisit the songs that not only dominated the charts during the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll, but also found new life decades later—thanks to hit movie soundtracks and a wave of ‘80s cover versions that brought these classics to a whole new generation.

Whether you grew up with these hits or discovered them through films like Stand By Me, Dirty Dancing, or Back to the Future, this playlist is packed with feel-good favorites, timeless romance, and vintage charm. So throw on your leather jacket, cue up the jukebox, and join us for a trip back in time!
