Can you recommend songs from 50's 60's and 70's?

I'm making a playlist for my mum's birthday. Looking for recommendations of artists/songs that were popular in the UK ( Scotland) around this time. American songs are ok, lots of them were released here too.

I don't have a clue, but don't want anything too cheesy (and no Elvis, ha ha ha)

All suggestions apprieciated!!

Cheers

everly brothers are always a good choice, maybe some dion & the belmonts, temptations are good, there is a song by a group called "the five stairsteps" it's called "ooh child" it was a song from the seventies all about hoping for a better tomorrow.

any one of these would be a nice pick, and i know mum will like your gift...bye
