Answer 4

A lot of fifties sixties stuff wasn't really upbeat, it was more love songs, ballads, and blues. Some was - the Fortunes, The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean etc., The Everly Bros., and later the Monkies all had some that might qualify. Some would cause feminist outrage nowadays, things like One Two Three Red Light by the 1910 Fruit Gum Company for instance.

Answer 10

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/gJVMy an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.

Answer 11

Great balls of fire, Hit the road Jack, This old house, Bad moon a rising.
