Default O/T: The Day The Music Died

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Before 1954 and "Rock Around the Clock", "rock music" was sort of an "undercurrent" style of music.

Rock Around the Clock caught on with a lot of teenagers regionally. When the movie hit the big screen, it was an
amazing success nationwide.

Then Rock came out of the woodwork....by 1956 the following groups were exciting us kids with some great sounds......

The Penguins....Earth Angel
The Platters....many songs
The Everly Brothers.....Wake Up Little Suzy
The Dell Vikings
Little Anthony and the Imperials
Little Richard
Sam Cook
etc, etc, etc.
