My Grandfathers 80th birthday is coming up and there is going to be a party for him. My mom and I are putting together a slideshow for him and we need some good 40's and 50's music to go with it. Anyone know popular songs we could use? thanks!

large bands were known & it become the era of 'swing ' 'Senimental journey' - Harry James 'some Enchanted evening - Jo Stafford "i am going to love you 'continually' - Deanna Durain 'i'd be Seeing You' - Frank Sinatra i got here across those merely via typing ' songs of the 1940's ' contained in the information superhighway search for. i did not even look on the 1030's. solid success.
