Going Through the Era's {Fun Monday} - 1950's

I'm linking up to Bramblewood Fashion's Going Through the Era's event!

This week {March 18th-24th} is the 1950s.

Today's theme is...Fun Monday!

{share games, TV shows, music, radio shows and books from the era}

One of my newly discovered favorite singers is  

Pat Boone.

I just love his voice and his songs are so fun! 

 

During the 50s he was second biggest charting artist with only Elvis Presley coming in ahead of him.

He was known for his clean-cut, boyish image and as a Christian refused movie roles and songs that he felt might compromise his standards.

These two songs are my favorites...

Ain't That A Shame and A Wonderful Time Up There.

 Someone I've loved listening to ever since I first saw her in White Christmas, is  

Rosemary Clooney.

When I was just a kid, my mom would put Mambo Italiano on, and we'd dance around the room and sing to it.  My mom and her sisters used to do the same when they were kids:)

.....

Some of my absolute FAVORITE TV shows are from this era...

Wanted: Dead or Alive

{1958-61}

Starring the amazingly wonderful and totally adorable King of Cool: Steve McQueen!

Um, in case you couldn't tell...I'm a McQueen fan;D

Leave it to Beaver

 {1957-63}
Meet the Cleaver family!  Ward and June Cleaver, and their sons Wally and Theodore, who prefers to be called "Beaver".   My whole family loves this show.  Beaver (played by Jerry Mathers) is quite possibly the cutest little boy ever.    I absolutely adore June Cleaver's wardrobe - she wears the cutest clothes:)

And of course there's The Andy Griffith Show, Ozzie and Harriet, Dennis the Menace, What's My Line and The Roy Rogers Show...I love 50s TV shows:)

.....

And that's all for today.
Happy Trails, y'all!
