CHARLESTON (Arthur Gibbs and his band) - I could imagine that this is one of the songs that was blasting at Gatsby's parties. The charleston was really big back then, as a song and a dance. Gatsby's parties always had the best music and this was a very popular song back then.
DOWN HEARTED BLUES (Bessie Smith)- This song would go with "The Great Gatsby" very well, because almost everyone in the book had gotten their heart broken or something similar to that in this book.
I WANNA BE LOVED BY YOU (Helen Kane) - This reminds me of Gatsby because all he wanted was to get back the relationship he had with Daisy. Also, Wilson loved Myrtle so much, he could never let her go.
YES WE HAVE NO BANANAS (Billy Jones) - This was a very popular song in the 1920's and also it describes how out there and weird all the characers are in this book. All of them do some crazy things throughout the story for love or most of the time for money.
Nice tunes
