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

Question

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
