Ranked #440 in Culture & Society, #10,462 overall

1950's When Rock-n-Roll was King!

Rock-n-Roll emerged in the mid-50s as the teen music of choice with Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, James Brown, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin, Ritchie Valens, Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochrane, Brenda Lee, Bobby Vee, Connie Frances, Johnny Mathis, Pat Boone and Ricky Nelson.

Elvis Presley In the mid-1950s Elvis Presley became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. Chuck Berry, with "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), refined and developed the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, focusing on teen life and introducing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music.

Throw a 1950's Themed Party and you and your guests can take a step back in time, to those simpler days when Rock-n-Roll was king!

    How awesome!! I definitely wasn't born in the 1950s, but that was such a great decade!! I love the TV shows and music of that era. A '50s party would be SO MUCH FUN!!! :) :)

    Blessed by a Squid Angel!! :) :) :)
  • Tipi Apr 27, 2011 @ 9:55 pm | delete
    Your "Greatest Hits Metallic Ensemble/8" would be my choice, gotta love the 45 rpm look plates and that Sock Hop centerpiece just is one of those "must haves" that you know so much about. My cousin had every 45 and LP that Elvis ever put out and that is usually what she had playing, I always looked forward to visiting when Karen was home. I think her collection was off limits otherwise.
  • TwoDogHouse Apr 27, 2011 @ 9:07 pm | delete
    I grew up in the fifties listening to Elvis, Paul Anka, Pat Boone and Fats Domino and I still love the music. I have lots of great memories but what sticks in my head is the fact that we never locked our doors, we left car keys in the ignition and living was easy...
  • Rob3 Apr 4, 2011 @ 7:11 am | delete
    Those were the days - even though I was just a youngster, happy and memorable. Great lens!
