The term "oldies", refers both to popular music from 1950-1970 and the radio format that specializes in this kind of music. "Golden Oldies" usually refers only to Oldies from 1950 to 1960. Oldies songs are typically from R & B, pop and rock music genres, but is also the country, soundtrack of the film, news, and other types of popular music on the radio around 1950 he played on. Genres of pop music hadits heyday before 1950 (eg, ragtime, big band) are generally considered "too old" for inclusion in the oldies radio format. Oldies radio call feature usually groups and artists such as (a few), Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Pat Boone, Sam Cooke, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, The Rascals, the Association, The Temptations, The Who, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac, includes a wide range of styles, including rock and earlyRoll, rockabilly, doo-wop, surf rock, women's groups, the British Invasion, folk rock, psychedelic rock, baroque pop, soul, Motown and bubblegum pop. Oldies overlaps with classic rock on the Rock music of the late 1960's and 1970's, like music and most recently concentrated in a similar style.

The term "Oldies but Goodies" was coined in 1957 by renowned DJ Art Laboe, who in the past at this time to get frequent requests from itsListening to songs from the early 1950s. A central figure in the radio for more than half a century, Laboe was the first DJ to rock and roll, on the west coast and one of the first artists to play in black and white on the game show itself. In 1959 he was the first LP to feature (mostly elderly), the songs of different artists. This immensely popular compilation album entitled "Oldies But Goodies," was among the charts of Billboard Top 100 LP's for over three years and has produced to date, about 14Continuations. (Click here for a recent interview with the article Laboe.)

Shortly after the appearance of the first "Laboe's Oldies But Goodies" album, the phrase "Oldies but Goodies" is trivial and around 1960 people have the desire to wax 1950 doo-wop, who had already begun to as "Oldies classified. Little Caesar and in 1961 the Roman Empire "hits" Those Oldies But Goodies (Remind Me Of You) "and its sequel," Memories of Those Oldies But Goodies, "which both pay homage to doo-wop and earlyDoo-wop artists. This wave of nostalgia led to a doo-wop revival in the early 1960s, the first of many nostalgic movements of popular music since the term "oldies have been, was initially applied to older pop music.

While the "Golden Oldies" has remained constant over the years, the body's biggest pop music we have is still considered "oldies" today - which is composed of a core of Golden Oldies songs, plus more modern material - not set expands, but little by littleforward in time to keep pace with demographic changes. Today it is commonly known as all the oldies of 1970, including dancing, and the same should also be true one day to the music of the 1980s, now often referred to as 'retro' means. Oldies Music is also expanding into the distance, thousands of songs have now been forgotten for years 1950 and 1960, which never reach the top, 40 rediscovered their time and risen. If because of nostalgia, curiosity,or a genuine love for good music, oldies format has maintained a huge following and will probably do so for many years.
