The Golden Age of Sound 1955 to 1975
The jukebox glowed, the records spun..
A brand-new age had just begun.
From ‘55 to ‘75,
Music soared, it came alive.
The blues and jazz still held their ground..
But rock and roll had found its sound.
Elvis shook and stole the stage..
Chuck Berry wrote the rebel’s page.
Doo-wop harmonies so tight..
Made the fifties feel so right.
Sock hops, drive-ins, rhythm strong..
Teenage dreams in every song.
Then ‘60s came, the world turned wild..
Music changed.. no longer mild.
Dylan’s words would light the spark..
Voices rose against the dark.
The Beatles led a British wave..
With melodies the world would crave.
The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks..
Turned up amps and broke the links.
Motown gave us soul and grace..
With Marvin, Stevie, and The Supremes' face.
Aretha’s voice, a battle cry .
Made the world reach for the sky.
Woodstock raged in 69..
A moment, raw and so divine.
Hendrix played with fire and soul..
Janis lived, but paid the toll.
Then came the 70s, bold and free..
Led Zeppelin roared with majesty.
Pink Floyd soared, dark side in view..
While disco rose and funk broke through.
From vinyl crackles, echoes bright..
A time of legends, pure delight.
An era lost, but never gone..
For golden music still plays on.
