the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

1959 was a weak year, and in fact IMO the 1950s are weaker than the 1960s. But I think it was a year for some mellow soulful songs, like this one:
The Flamingos: I Only Have Eyes for You (a hauntingly beautiful performance of a song originally written in 1934),

and I already posted The Fleetwoods: Come Softly To Me
