OUR MUSICAL PAST

With the upcoming Grammys (Feb. 5 on CBS) and the death of Lisa Marie Presley, we’ve had music on our mind. For nine decades, Parade has celebrated the music of each era, and put the spotlight on musicians—from Elvis and Frank Sinatra (many times) to the Beatles and Glen Gampbell. Music, after all, isn’t just toe-tapping. It tells stories, reflects the times-and make us feel, remember and learn. Here’s a sampling of the covers from the 1940s to 1970s we found in the Parade vault. Check back next week for more from 1970s to present, including Cher, Garth Brooks and Sting.
