Rediscovering the 50’s Music
Now we go back in the years that were golden of America. The 50’s music. Back when Elvis ruled the planet by introducing to the world the Rock ‘n’ Roll music. The Beatles were the hottest band in the world. Everyone wanted to buy Elvis Presley records. The music was wonderful and innocent back in the days. Buddy Holly sang his songs in front of the crowds in concerts. Ritchie Valens was just a teen when he sang La Bamba, and Oh, Donna. The music was one of the escapes from reality. Jerry Lee Lewis introduced us to the song Great Balls of Fire. The teens were all having fun to this fun music. The other music that was there was Roy Orbison‘s music. We see Ray Charles perform his songs in concerts. Most of us are familiar with the music of Frank Sinatra. Songs like New York, New York, It Had To Be You, and etc. These people saw the Rat Pack perform their songs. Dean Martin sings his songs. It was a great pleasure seeing Sammy Davis, Jr. perform his best songs. It was a time of America’s Golden Years.
