golden oldie
Beloved vintage song
A golden oldie is a song, film, or other cultural artifact from an earlier era that remains beloved—typically popular music from the 1950s through 1970s: The radio station plays nothing but golden oldies.
The phrase suggests nostalgic affection rather than mere age; not everything old qualifies, only what's remembered fondly.
