Were having a suprise 50th birthday party for my father and we are looking for songs from 1957 so we can put together a disk from the year he was born. Does anyone know where I can find these songs?

Check Billboards top 100 list for the year you want, that will give you some names. then you can go to itunes and buy them. Another good thing to do is check out time/life music, or Amazon for "BEST OF" type cds. Good Luck and have a great party.
I found the list of Top 100 for 1957, here is a link

Time Life had a series of hits from each year of the 50's. Don't know their number. I go up to 1955 and then work backwards.
