Just a bit of a correction. Rock & Roll was well established long before our involvement in the Vietnam War. The first R&R song of any popularity was probably Blue Suede Shoes - not by Elvis, but by Carl Perkins in 1954. Other hit makers of the mid and late 50's included Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, Bill Halley, Barrett Strong, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly. Even Pat Boone got into the act. Firsthand knowledge - those were my high school years Cheers, ED |
