I'm only going to stick to the 50s. Here's some "different" stuff. Not sure if they're ahead of their time though.

This is the first song that was ever released from my late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal in 1962.

P.S. His most well known song named "Down In The Boondocks" went to radio three years later.

Would like to listen to more stuff from the 50s and early 60s but I'm looking for some different type stuff if possible for that early. Something dark or ahead of it's time or whatever. Thanks.
