Title: Elvis, Fats, Bill Haley and the early royalty of rock'n'roll
Review: Rock & Roll clearly defines the Billboard charts in that fabled year of 1956. This album offers up two classics from Elvis, Carl Perkin's "Blue Suede Shoes," Fats Domino announcing "I'm in Love Again," and the Teenagers asking that musical question, "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" The music of the period is clearly defined by Gene Vincent & His Blue Cops working through "Be-Bop-A-Lula" and Bill Haley & The Comets finding some success with "See You Later, Alligator." Rock music sure has come a long way since then, but here is a representative sampling of the early days. All in all this is an average album in the Billboard Top Rock'n'Roll Hits series, and if you are old enough to remember these songs then you may well reach the magic number of five songs you would like to add to your music library, at which point picking up this album would be a worthwhile investment.
