Top 20 Upbeat Classic Songs

I love music in every genre and every generation. Some songs just never die. They're "singable" and "danceable" too.

Giveaway: Details at end of post.

Today's list probably has a few songs you hear on movies, TV shows, and commercials.

Some you may never have heard before and probably wouldn't make a point to listen to them because they're from the early days of rock and roll, but, give them a try. They were all radio hits, Hot Billboard hits, and appeared on every jukebox.  

I tried not to include songs that are regularly heard today, but some l had to list because I personally love them. Choosing a top 20 was like choosing which child you love the most. It's an impossible task.

All on this list have a beat that will make you dance in your chair seat and probably hum or sing along if you know the words.

Plus, they are feel good songs that will make you smile. You can find them all on YouTube sung by the original artist and by others who recorded them.

Some videos are original because it's a kick to see the hair styles and clothes of that era. Others have been remastered and may show only the lyrics. Have fun!
