I was born in 1945 and remember hearing almost all this songs when they were on the radio.

I turned six just as the fifties started so this was quite a trip hearing these songs I grew up with.

Harri, if you don’t know The Platters, you are missing out on some of the 50’s most beautiful songs!  
I know all these songs because I have two sisters that are much older than me who played these great songs on their record players.  My Mom played them all too, she had the radio going all the time.  There was always music in our house!

Born in 43,this was my mom's record collection. My life was saved by rock and roll. Thank you Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck and Jerry Lee..

The Platers are great.  Smoke gets in your eyes.

Rosemary Clooney was George Clooney’s AUNT. His Father’s Sister.

Louis Armstrong's cover of Mack the Knife is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE cover

Rosemary Clooney is George Clooney's aunt. Some of the videos are colorized. Eddie Fisher is Carrie Fisher's father, Debbie Reynolds is the mother.

The 50's were an era like no other. It had so many fantastic songs and I remember almost all of them. Showing my age I guess.:_Sad:😂

Elvis was in serving in the Army in Germany from March 1958 till March 1960 so he had to start over in the 1960's.

I was 11 years old in 1950, remember and loved all of these songs.

I was born in Aug 1941, and a teenager in the late 50’s.  My family did not have a TV until 1957, so we listened to the radio.  And the TV was only turned on for certain programs.  It did not run 24/7 as TVs do these days.  I remember all of these songs very well.  Takes me back to when times were simpler and basic.

I was born in 1950.  There were only a very few that I didn't know.  I still remember the words and was singing along for most.

I was born in 1944. I knew every one of the Elvis songs. I was 12 yrs old when he came on the scene. I think I bought every one of his records. I also knew most of the other songs. Thank you for this reaction.

Re: St George and the Dragonet, that was Stan Freeburg doing a parody(his forte') of the tv show Dragnet.

I listened to pop music all through the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.  And after all those years, Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind" is STILL my all-time favorite song.

My dad turned me onto Joni James. She had a heavenly voice.

Thank youfor the memories, Harry.  I was born in 48 and remember all but about 6 of these songs playing on the radio.

"Sh-Boom" was one of the earliest rock 'n' roll songs but because it was a one-off hit, nobody thought about it being the start of a big change in music. From 1955 to 1957 you can see the battle between the crooners and the rock 'n' roll singers. Debbie Reynolds was an actress and for a time she was married to Eddie Fisher...their daughter was Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia from Star Wars.

Elvis' domination of the charts in the late 50s was probably one of the reason why he was drafted.

This takes me back... I was five to six listening to the Light programme with Mum in the kitchen!
