Make Music Salem

The Capitals

The Capitals are a Salem band playing classics from the late 50s and early 60s when a diverse set of emerging musical genres were being referred to collectively as rock and roll. Mostly we feature music from Brill Building and other American composers produced at legendary studios like Motown, Capital Records, Stax, Bell Sound, Chess and Sun. Plus a little early Beatles thrown in for good measure :) Song List: Please Mr. Postman - The Marvelettes, Be My Baby - The Ronettes, Walkin' After Midnight - Patsy Cline, Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley, These Boots Are Made for Walkin - Nancy Sinatra, King of the Road - Roger Miller, Love Me Do - The Beatles, Bye Bye Love - The Everly Brothers, Ain't That a Shame - Fats Domino, I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingos, Little Deuce Coupe - The Beach Boys, Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley, Susie Q - Dale Hawkins, Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett, My Guy - Mary Wells, Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran
