Search - Various (Original Artist re-recording) :: BEST OF THE 50S (3 CD Set)

When Bill Haley & The Comets chirped Where Gonna Rock Around the Clock to the first #1 hit of the modern pop music era in 1955, the world of Rock & Roll would never be the same. Your parents favorites like Perry Como and Sinatra no longer were the biggest starts of the decade but newcomers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Little Richard and The Everly Brothers became household names, like them or not! Danny & the Juniors said it best , Rock & Roll is Here To Stay and teenagers around the world now had a music genre that they could call their own. New stars would be born every week and #1 hits like Tequila , Yakety Yak , Stagger Lee , Bird Dog and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes made idols out of The Platters, Lloyd Price, The Coasters and the Champs and the Everly s were the #1 selling duo of the decade. Million selling hits like Wilbert Harrison s Kansas City and Fat s Domino s Blueberry Hill would be recorded over and over again in the 60s and 70s as classic 1950s music was just too good to be forgotten. This 36 track collection features newly recorded studio versions as well as great live in concert versions of your favorite 1950s memories.
