A collection of modern-day lullabies, these soothings songs about love and loss from the finest female troubadours will ease you into a tranquil slumber.
From the end of the '50s to the start of the '60s, the kids kicked off their shoes and started shaking all over the place. These were the sounds they moved to, back in the days when doo wop and R&B were just another way of saying "rock & roll."
