Some of it may sound cool & be pleasant to listen to but is of the type that is relevant only during the era. I guess such is life in a 3T/early 4T? Was most US or European popular music of the prior 3T & early 4T (1910s to early 1930s) similar in this aspect?
But when Elvis Presley first appeared on the scene it was widely assumed that in a couple of years folks would be saying things such as “Elvis who? Who in the world is he? Yet his music stood the test of time as well as contemporaries such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Others such as Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Rich reinvented themselves as country singers. Same goes for icons of the 60s such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Still household names today.
