What's some essential music made before the 60's? Seems like 60's onward is all we talk about, with the exception of classical.

40s RnB is patrician but Yea Forums can't into Louis Jordan

Like 99.55555% of music.

40s & 50s America was outrageously conservative, and as a result, creatively bankrupt.

Outside of the Jazz scene, that is, which was seen as wildly edgy and niche at the time.

Don't know anything about from before the 60s, but I heard this song in a movie awhile back and I've loved it since then

The violin section towards the latter half is perfect

Basically this. Jean-Jacques Perrey existed.

Jean was more 60's and was in Europe, not America

He recorded albums in the 50s, but your second point is fair.

I'm pretty certain Robert Johnson is one of the most influential musicians ever
