Without any Googling, how old would you say this song is?

My name is URL · 06-12-2014 12:19AM #1

It's nearly half a century old!

That's a bit mad isn't it?..

Are there any other 50+/- songs that sound as fresh?

Kevin McCloud · 06-12-2014 12:24AM

Thats mad Ted

mad muffin · 06-12-2014 12:25AM

Call me a philistine but I could only last 1:12 before I had to turn it off.

Duckworth_Luas · 06-12-2014 12:26AM

Bing told me that it was released in 1967

06-12-2014 12:27AM

early 50s?

All Billie Holiday's stuff is timeless.

Beano · 06-12-2014 12:30AM

why is it suprising? It sounds exactly like what it is, a late 60s soul record.

experiMental · 06-12-2014 12:31AM

Sounds something like 50's / 60's. Could be absolutely fantastic if it would be covered with more mellow vocals!

It's almost like current chart music is relentlessly ripping it off for retro value....

It's mad to think Penny Lane was written during WWII. 70 years ago nearly.

cml387 · 06-12-2014 12:40AM

Not really strange.
Pop music finished up around 1982. Eves since then it's just been the same thing reheated.

That Lee Moses album, Time and Place = one of the best reissues ever

unless paul mccartney wrote it before he was 3 it was not written during ww2.

dxhound2005 · 06-12-2014 12:42AM

Here's something from nearly 80 years ago which might surprise some people.

Au contraire. He robbed it from this well known war ditty.

Nah, Macca wrote songs that only seemed like they should be in the 40's

Not the best at estimating but I'll give it a go.. 347 years old?

It's good stuff

The Backwards Man · 06-12-2014 01:42AM

This is 120 years old

I have no trouble believing any of the above is not butter.

stimpson · 06-12-2014 10:09AM

You gotta love the classics.

06-12-2014 10:23AM

If you can somehow ignore who sings this song, I think it's a remarkably fresh and really cool sounding tune that stood the test of time

Donkey Oaty · 06-12-2014 10:42AM

Incredibly, this piece is over 50 years old.

BunkMoreland · 06-12-2014 11:02AM

Old music sounds like old music, incredible.

Never mind music.. I can't believe films like Beverly Hills Cop and The Terminator are 30 years old now! :eek:

Holsten · 06-12-2014 01:00PM

Would have guessed 60s/70s.
