Songs from 1959

It's my grandparents 50th coming up in about a month, as one of my gifts I'm making them a mix CD with songs that were either released in 1959, (I'm also making a cd sleeve and making a nice lightscribe disc.) or were around and at least semi popular at that time. Any suggestions on some good music around that time period would be helpful, thanks!

Here's what I got so far -

The Everly Brothers – Dream
Buddy Holly – Heartbeat
The Dave Brubeck Quartet – Take Five
Bobby Darin – Dream Lover
Elvis Presley – I need your love tonight
Platters – Only You
Fats Domino – I want to walk you home
Johnny Cash – Get Rhythm
The Kingston Trio - The Tijuana Jail

My grandpa loves Buddy Holly, Dave Brubeck, and the Kingston trio, but I'm pretty sure he already is going to own most of their catalog so I don't want to put more of them on there, I'd also try to avoid putting two songs from the same band on there as well. Oh yeah, and no Frank Sinatra.

    After a quick scan of that wikipedia page:

    Ricthie Valens - La Bamba
    Johnny Cash - Get Rhythm
    Something off The Genius of Ray Charles

    ...And wow Kind of Blue came out in 1959? Good year.
