Rock and roll music was born in 1951 and by Watergate was old enough to drink. We here at the Balcony are big fans of rock’s freckled years in the 50s and this third installment of our oldies series I Remember That proves it. In this episode we play a couple of hours of music recorded before the Beatles even met. We’ve got your doo wop, rock, country and race record (we like to call it R&B) needs covered. Roll your smokes up in your short sleeve and pile the hair high, the jukebox is plugged in and full of nickels.
Sock hops, juvenile delinquents, poodle skirts, fast cars, Ozzie and Harriet, duck and cover, Eisenhower . . . the 50s were something . . . click on the link to check out all the songs that were once 45s:
