"Those Oldies but Goodies (Remind Me of You)" is a song written by Nick Curinga and Paul Politi and performed by Little Caesar & the Romans. It reached #9 on the U.S. pop chart and #28 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1961.[1]

The song ranked #69 on Billboard magazine's Top 100 singles of 1961.[2]

At the time, the song referred to songs from the Great Depression and WWII era (about 1930-1945), acts like Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee, which would have been oldies at the time. Nowadays, the term "oldies" is most commonly applied ironically enough to the era this song was made, rather than what it was singing about (the "oldies" era is generally understood as the rock and roll era and British Invasion era of about 1954-1966, music later than that is often called "classic [genre]" or "old school").
