If you are and your betrothed are fans of the golden oldies, and want the dancing portion of your reception to reflect that, here are some songs for you. The “Favorites” are also included in a previous post, which has the top songs from 1950′s to today, guaranteed to get people on the dance floor. The “+ More” section includes songs that aren’t on that list, but are great tunes from the 50′s and 60′s that people will be sure to enjoy. I’ve also included songs for slow dancing, which are always good to play intermittently throughout the evening. A lot of these songs are also great for dinner music, and even for the ceremony, if you are going the non-classical route.
