1950s Music

1950s background instrumental music for videos, slideshows, and ads

Warm upright bass, brushed drums, and clean guitar comping. This collection of 1950s background music gives your cut a classic fifties feel without getting in the way. It works for diner scenes, family photo slideshows, vintage product spots, fashion clips, and travel stories with a retro touch.

Expect swing and early rock-’n’-roll colors: sax and trumpet leads, doo-wop pads used lightly, stride and upright piano, snaps and handclaps. Try “Rockabilly Highway” for title cards and openings, “Rock N Roll Jive” for upbeat montage cuts, and “Chamomile For A Sweet Sixteen” when you want a mellow mid-tempo bed under VO. Featured composers include Manuel Ochoa, Strat 56, and Christian Aen, known for edit-ready themes with clean loop points and tidy endings.

Every download includes MP3/WAV and a license PDF for commercial use and client delivery. If you publish across multiple channels or hand off to an agency, switch on the Hide Content ID filter. If you specifically need no copyright music for YouTube, that setting helps avoid automated claims and keeps multi-platform uploads smooth. Prefer a broadly familiar tone for mixed audiences. You’ll also find stock-style options alongside our best fifties cues.
