8. “Only You (And You Alone)” by The Platters

Released in 1955, this song was originally written by Buck Ram. The ex-Beatle Ringo Starr did a cover of this song.

I believe this song belongs on this list because it embodies a lot of what I feel (despite not having lived it and only seeing it on TV) the ‘50s were like. I really enjoy the doo-wop feel and the harmonies are extraordinarily impressive as well.
