So many music posts, very few dealing with the 50s music scene

I See The Moon by the Stargazers.

There are several versions of this, I've chosen this particular one because it topped the UK charts in 1954 therefore most likely to be the version that I heard. My mam used to sing this to me and I sang it to my grandkids, got a video somewhere of my grandson singing it.

Great song! As you remember it was a hit in 1954, and when it was included in the film Blackboard Jungle (1955) with Glenn Ford, it really became a symbol for the rebellious youth of the 1950s. Plus it was a great jitterbug song...;)

I swear, back in the day, everyone seemed to have a copy of this album somewhere in the house:

Bill Haley's version of "Rock Around the Clock" smashed rock 'n roll into the big time. I still love that song. For teens at the time it became their anthem. One of the greatest rock 'n roll songs ever. It was the perfect song for the rebellious '55 film, Blackboard Jungle.

Good stuff! We played a couple of gigs with Berry back in the later '60s. He got to where he rarely traveled with a band. He'd just use guys from other bands on the program because everyone knew his music. So Berry was able to keep all the money for himself..:)

One time we played a gig with him in Milwaukee. He didn't even bring a guitar with him! He used one from the leader of our band. I think the guy saved every penny he ever earned...šŸ˜„
