Rock 'N' Roll Main Songs
The Big Beat defines the second half of the 20th century.
Bill Haley's superhit "Rock Around the Clock" opened the door
for the reign of teenagers.
EARLY ROCKERS, such as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and Jackie Wilson,
VOCAL GROUPS, like Danny and The Juniors, The Coasters and The Moonglows,
GIRL GROUPS, as good as The Dixie Cups, The McGuire Sisters and The Shirelles, and
COMBOS, such as the Johnny Otis Show, Johnny & The Hurricanes and The Surfaris,
became the prototypes for all those that were to come.
Music men like the legendary Chess Brothers, Sam Phillips and
Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller paved the way for the sound of rock, and
of course, Elvis was (and is) "THE KING" (check our list of his Rockin' Hits!)
FROM GALAXIA MUSICAL TO YOU, ROCK ON!
