fuck the '50s, man. you know you're a one hit wonder when your cheesecake photos outnumber your interesting songs 4-1. oh well this kind of singer has always existed, today we just call it Sabrina Carpenter.
Fuck the '50s, man...
Why does Anon Babble always focus on the worst music of every decade and ignore the good stuff? The 50s was arguably the best decade for R&B, one of the best decades for blues, and one of the best decades for rock. Who gives a fuck about a few manufactured pop acts?
the wanton lust of this whole arrangement is something
the 50s really were a wild time
She's not good looking
this board is 80% bots that only talk about high selling music
and one of the best decades for rock.
Lol

I like these cornball female singers. This one's good too

They're just fun. Girlpop today is all mopey or aggressive
i mean the beauty standards were a lot different back then
u means Teresa Brewer. actually she was just obnoxious however the 50s was an era when loud and tasteless was commercial.
Eileen Barton waas Frank Sinatra's duet partner on the radio during the war. That was her peak and her recording career....pffffffttttttttt....
Girlpop today is all mopey
lemme tell you about Black Coffee the original alcoholic femcel record
DEAL WITH IT, YOU NO-TASTE-HAVING FAGGOT
eh there were plenty of mopey ballads back then
In fact "The Tennessee Waltz" was the biggest selling disc of the entire decade and it was just such a slow mopey tune.
Christgau absolutely hates this kind of music. Of course he was a kid back when it was out and spammed all over the TV and radio so you can't really blame him in a way.
my understanding is that she was a half-Pole half-Jew mutt
I'm not saying all girlpop was fun and bouncy, just some of it -- seems much less common now.
Also I'm fine with electronic music and overproduction, but it's really nice to just have a bunch of musicians playing together like on those old songs
back then you had to do ballads to prove you were a "serious" singer and most preferred them to the fast songs as it gave them more chance to flex their vocal chops
why not? he hates semi-attractive white girls who look like the Stacys that rejected him in high school.
50's rock, rockabilly, blues>beatles, fag zepellin...
cause most of mutants don't know too much about non pitchfork/fantano core
i'm not saying all girlpop was fun and bouncy
why would you?
also i'm fine with electronic music and overproduction
i think that's where you're wrong
now the 5 Royales, they slapped. that Doris Day kind of white bread pop is hated for a reason.
their biggest hits literally ran back-to-back on the Billboard in 1950
wanton lust
I don't get any kind of sex from this song, it sounds like it was made for little kids.
This and even the maybe real posters have always been making fun of corny Mitch Miller tier pop from the 50s.
Anyways I kind of agree with OP. The 40s were the absolute peak of modern music and make the 50s seem like child’s play.
This is true, and in fact almost every artist in that period experienced their peak on the radio. I believe the true gold lies in the way the music was arranged. Once we abandoned this style, music was over. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, some of you need to hear this shit. Notice how it’s almost all live radio recordings from the war era. That is where you find the gold.

Form the late 60s. Still hustling in this TV appearance and doing modern pop instead of like idk reenacting the '40s or something.

(ignore date, this record was from '46)
proves that Ms. Barton was always a middling singer compared to some contemporaries. about the most paint-by-numbers ballad there is. the late 40s was absolutely full of this treacle though because everyone and their dog imitated Sinatra for a few years.
she had Mafia ties also one of the McGuire Sisters was affiliated with Sam Gianca.
Barton was supposed to receive 10% royalties from each sale of "If I Knew You Were Coming Id've Baked a Cake." In the liner notes to a 2001 compilation of her recordings, made a few years before her death, she indicated that she never received any of this money.[3]
i'm talking about the photo
she also somehow never made an LP in 18 years as a recording artist only singles
Let’s go sunning
It’s so good for you
Let’s go sunning
Beneath the sky of blue
Greet the sun every morn
Feel as free and happy as the day you were born

tfw no qt 3.14 who wants me to come in her cake
this song was quickly covered by Georgia Gibbs (mostly copypaste but a few beats slower) and a...horrible (to put it delicately) Fontane Sisters one
because it's all coomer or coomer adjacent posting
50's rock, rockabilly, blues>beatles, fag zepellin...
Lol
it really is kind of like her saying
If I knew you were coming I'd have played with my pussy.
the late 40s was absolutely full of this treacle though because everyone and their dog imitated Sinatra for a few years.
In fact he himself fell off for a while because his sound had become so normalized in pop that he lost his distinctiveness.
everyone agrees that the late '40s was an incredibly dull period when sodden ballads reigned. i guess after the excitement of a world war everyone needed a break from overstimulation for a while. there was starting to be a shift back towards peppier songs as the '50s began and the twin hits of "Cake" and "Music Music Music" seemed to indicate it.
Far better than the 90's and 00's
