Looking for the perfect first dance song?
If you're on the hunt for the perfect first dance song and today's hits just aren't cutting it, you might find what you're looking for from an entirely different era.
I'll be helping you find some song inspiration by jumping way back to a much simpler period in time. A time when a gallon of gas cost eighteen cents, the only way to watch TV was on a twelve inch television set, and milk was delivered in a glass container directly to your doorstep.
Can you guess which era I'm talking about? If you guessed the 1950's you would be right.
I'll be sharing some of the top hits from this time period, and I must say, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Take a listen below!
