Every #1 Song from 1959
@yourmusiceducationFebruary 3, 1959 was “The Day the Music Died” as Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson meet their untimely end in a plane crash in Iowa. You would never know this simply by looking at the Hot 100 charts that year. Rock ‘n’ Roll was a cultural force of course, but it challenged the social norms, so the record labels and sensible Americans fought to keep it down. They would be successful in doing so for about another five years. That year NASA selected the “Mercury Seven” who would become the first astronauts, Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as the 49th and 50th states, “The Twilight Zone” premiered, and Antarctica was designated as a scientific preserve amidst the hostilities of the Cold War. #musichistory #learnontiktok #music #oldschool #yourmusiceducation #50smusic #1959 #thechipmunks #theplatters #lloydprice #frankieavalon #johnnyhorton #paulanka #elvispresley #elvis #thebrowns #santoandjohnny #bobbydarin #guymitchell #thechipmunksong #christmasdontbelate #smoke #staggerlee #venus #kansascity #thebattleofneworleans #neworleans #lonelyboy #abighunkolove #sleepwalk #macktheknife #mrblue #heartache #why #nostalgia #throwbacksongs #throwback
