Details:
When Bill Haley’s ‘Rock Around The Clock’ became a major hit all around the world following its first release in 1954 it well and truly announced the arrival of the new Rock ‘n’ Roll sound which was to change the face of popular music forever.‘Rock Around The Hits’ features forty-eight classic rockin’ and ballad performances which were recorded for various television broadcasts and promotional purposes during the music’s heyday period from the mid-Fifties to early Sixties. Virtually every track in this collection was a chart hit and as well as the major hits from the well-known names it includes rare performances from some of rock ‘n roll’s highly-influential lesser acts.The list of performers reads like a veritable who’s who of Rock ‘n’ Roll and embraces the music’s many and diverse music styles. These range from the rocking RandB sounds of Joe Turner, Bo Diddley and Lavern Baker to the distinctive New Orleans sound of Fats Domino, from Doo Wop and harmony groups such as The Dell-Vikings and The Platters to teen idols such as Bobby Vee, Fabian and Bobby Darin. As well as such stars of the legendary Sun label as Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins it includes rockin’ country from Johnny Cash and The Everly Brothers.The rock ‘n’ roll revolution started several years before Bill Haley hit the charts, as is apparent from the fourteen bonus tracks in this dvd’s ‘The Dawn Of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ extras. These classic jump and jive classics from the Forties and early Fifties heralded the imminent arrival of mainstream Rock ‘n’ Roll. Information about the artists and songs appears in a special biography extras section.The sixty audio-visual tracks which make up this unique collection highlight the extraordinary diversity of Rock ‘n’ Roll and its development over a twenty year period.A Rock ‘n’ Roll package which will delight old and new fans alike.
