Rock and Roll was here to stay by the mid-1950's
Light melodies, sweet lyrics, wholesome singers. Innocent and inoffensive songs. All of this can be said about the music of the Early Fifties.
These diverse factors influenced the music of the Early Fifties. The bubblegum sweetness would eventually fade away, like the blush of America's post war optimism. Whereas Rock and Roll, with its irrepressible energy - Rock and Roll was here to stay.
Bill Haley started everyone rockin' with "Rock Around the Clock" July 1955 and I did just that!
Listen to the tunes here and you will find yourself singin' along!
