Oldie Music..

The decade of the Fifties gave birth to Rock and Roll. When Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock became popular in 1955, the nation learned to swing to a whole new sound.

But, Rock wasn't the only music of the Fifties. Other artists with other songs had folks hummin' for much of the decade. Pat Boone, Perry Como and Patti Page - just to mention the "Ps".

The feel-good innocence of a lot of the Fifties music reflects on the post World War II optimism in America. The young people of the time, an emerging force called teenagers, hadn't struggled through the war years. They were looking for something more exciting. They discovered that vitality in Rock and Roll.

During the Fifties both styles of music co-existed quite nicely.
Some of the music you associate with the Fifties was actually recorded in the Sixties. Blue Moon, by the Marcels, for example. And all of the "girl groups" are from the 60's. When you look at the dates, musically the styles tend to break off mid-decade. The tunes from '55-'64 are pretty much alike. Things don't change much until the British musical invasion of U.S. and the U.S. military invasion of Vietam, from around '64-'74.
