Favourite Songs of the 50s

If it wasn't rock'n'roll in the 50s, it was great ballads and tunes! If it wasn't rebellious, it was cheeky and witty or romantic. So we've chosen a selection of numbers from the great records of the day: Doris Day, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and other stars singing songs like 'Whatever will be, will be', Unforgettable' and 'Memories are made of this'.
