American Heartbeat - The 50s:: 75 Original Recordings (3-CD)

by Various Artists

Rhythm and blues was an urban black phenomenon, country a white rural one, but when Elvis Presley cut That s All Right in 1954, the fusion of the genres he pioneered soon to be dubbed rock n roll gave artists license to blur the line between genres. He led the way for new sounds and styles to arrive in the charts in the '50s from the likes of Bo Diddley, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, all included here. So pucker up those Lucky Lips, take a swig of Love Potion Number 9 and prepare to Jump The Broomstick like a Juvenile Delinquent! VARIOUS ARTISTS (3CD) AMERICAN HEARTBEAT THE '50S DAY3CD079 CD1 1.
