Current songs / singers with oldies sound
I came across this song recently. Great nostalgic sound by 21-year-old Stephen Sanchez. Made it to number 38 on the U.S. charts last year.
Does anyone have any other current songs / singers that have that oldies sound?

You & Me by Penny & The Quarters - Deja Vu 1950s released in 2011. Wow - they are super!! What shocks me is they never charted on any the Billboard charts.

I would nominate Meghan Trainer as a major current singer with a sound vaguely reminiscent of the Fifties and Sixties. Her "All About That Bass" could inspire someone to rewrite the lyrics to "Mr. Bass Man" by Johnny Cymbal.

I would also like to add that Meghan Trainor is currently in the Billboard Top Twenty with her song "Made You Look" which sounds very Sixties girl group like with the background singers singing like the background singers did in the Sixties and the music video prominently features a pink 1964 Ford Mustang convertible

Young people probably like it, but for my taste it's too sweet and unreal. I guess I'm too old to like a music video like that.
