Hi

it would be great to have more early 60's Real Tracks to help me out with songs such as Poor Little Fool, Mamma said, String Along... Well, I'm really into recreating original Ricky Nelson songs,and mostly lack the realtrack drumbeat for those tunes

I was a little child in the 60s who was lucky enough to have an older sister who used to listen to the radio all the time. And I still love that music today.

I would also very much like to see Styles based from that time but don’t know how one would categorize such an eclectic musical period.

Here are some of the top Billboard hits of the early 60s:


Theme From 'A Summer Place' - Percy Faith
Cathy's Clown - the Everly Brothers
I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee
Running Bear - Johnny Preston
Save The Last Dance for Me - the Drifters
Teen Angel - Mark Dinning
El Paso - Marty Robbins
The Twist - Chubby Checker
Alley-Oop - Hollywood Argyles
The Lion Sleep Tonight - the Tokens
Calcutta - Lawrence Welk
Runaround Sue - Dion
Travelin' man - Ricky Nelson
Big Girls Don't Cry - the Four Seasons
Roses Are Red (My Love) - Bobby Vinton
Johnny Angel - Shelley Fabares
He's a Rebel - the Crystals
Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
Dominque - The Singing Nun
Surf City - Jan & Dean


From orchestral to middle-of-the-road pop to Motown to doo-w*p to country to dance craze to novelty to teen idols to television show stars to surf music to Lawrence Welk!

How could you incorporate all that?

Those hits are exactly the kind of songs I'm into. I understand it can be complicated and costy to create Realtracks to them all, but a couple of them would be very helpful. I'm thinking about Travelin'Man, Runaround Sue and Cathy's Clown to name a few. A simple set with drums, bass, acoustic guitar and possibly
apiano would be very much appreciated

Yes, I absolutely agree. Great, great stuff.

My sister had a 45 of "Runaround Sue." I can still remember what the label looked like. Also "Runaway" by Del Shannon and "He's a Rebel." Loved, loved those two records.

Well, if you could tell me which MIDI-styles you used for that, I could render some UserTracks with Sampletank or special Sondfonts.
