We’re doin a loose 50s theme wedding in October. The budget isn’t allowing for a real DJ so I’m assembling our playlist.

I’m looking for good dance music from the 50s and very eary 60s (nothing past '64)  
Please assume that I already have the most popular and common songs. For instance don’t suggest “The Twist” or “Rock Around the Clock.”

Thank you in advance.

I’ve always thought \*\*Please Send Me Someone to Love \*\*would make a nice first dance as man and wife tune.  
From 1950, but here’s a Sade cover.
