Details: It all started back in the 1950s when teenagers around the world grabbed the new “rock & roll” sound as their own and pop music has never been the same. The Everly Brothers, Gene Vincent, The Platters and Coasters all were a major part of the explosion onto the charts and dominance on the radio dial that soon became a tidal wave of emotion, . Parents tried to ban the music, radio tried to keep it off the airwaves and politicians rallied against it but their was no stopping “rock & roll”. Hits like “Be-Bop a Lula” and “Wake up Little Susie” confounded adults but created teenage idols and new artists were created everyday as record labels looked for the next Elvis. Now Hall of Fame artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard and Bill Haley & the Comets exploded onto the charts with hit after hit and rock & roll took over the airwaves from your parent's icons like Sinatra and Crosby. This amazing two-cd, twenty four hit collection contains some of the biggest stars and hits of that fabulous era that changed the way we listed to music forever. All are newly recorded versions or live in concert performances of your favorite 50s hits at a low, low price.
