Music of the 50's

"The 50's saw a great change in popular music. In the beginning of the 50's it was a carry over from the Big Band/Easy Listening era, but as the years moved forward we began to hear Doo Wop music. And then, when Elvis entered the music kingdom, it was the birth of Rock & Roll. Teenagers came forth with a new type of dancing at the sock hops, and the popular fashion for the girls was poodle skirts and bobby sox, and white t-shirts and jeans for the boys.

Remember the boys hair style called the DA or Duck's butt with a lot of grease to keep it in place. AND... let us not forget the true girlish eeny bopper's poni-tail. It was the time of'bubble gum' music, teen idols and Dick Clark's American Bandstand." -- stinalisa.com - 50's music
