Hi luvie, thanks for this thread!

I wanted to start of with a tune that is not from the 50's, but about the 50's to kind of set the tone:

Ronnie Milsap - Lost in the Fifties Tonight (In the Still of the Night)

[Fiji Hill]

All That Wine Is Gone--Jay McNeely & His Orchestra (1951)

[Fiji Hill]

Rocket 69--Todd Rhodes & His Orchestra (1952)

Rocket to the Moon--Moon Mullican (1953)

[Fiji Hill]

This is way ahead of its time--sounds more like something from the mid-fifties.

Forever--Richard Lewis & the Barons (1951)

[Fiji Hill]

T Model Boogie--Roscoe Gordon (1952)

[Fiji Hill]

One of my favorite rock and roll songs of all time. However, virtually no information about this group is available. This is the only record they ever issued.

Be Bop Baby--The Peacheroos (1954)

[Fiji Hill]

Good Googa Mooga--The Magic Tones (1953)

[fidelis]

Been So Long · The Pastels

[Fiji Hill]

Listen with caution. The lyrics contain graphic violence.

Hittin' on Me--Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra (1953)

[fidelis]

Pledging My Love · Johnny Ace · Johnny Otis & His Orchestra
