Great Music - Round 2: 1955-1959 (Group 15 of 16)

[mae]

During the second round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to three tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top three tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

Chuck Berry - Rock and Roll Music (1957)

Everly Brothers - All I Have to Do Is Dream (1958)

Frank Sinatra - Love and Marriage (1956)

Barrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want) (1959)

Johnny Horton - The Battle of New Orleans (1959)

The Everly Bros. tune is so beautiful! Te vocal harmony. This tune is deeply rooted in my psyche. It was one o the most early tunes performed in my singing career. I learned it as a youngster and it was paramount in getting me into singing on a *cough* professional *cough* level. Yes...I was paid... I made about $ 8000.00 USD... in the late 80's on multiple gigs.
