ITT: /mu/ in 1957
FUCK ELVIS
OH SUZIE QOH SUZIE QBABY I LOVE YOU SUZIE Q
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9y1ro3QdhAThat's what I call a self-aware song.
Nah don't listen to that Elvis guy he's degenerate anyway. And are you really going to argue with me and my nine chart hits this year?
OUT IN THE MORNING AND OUT TO SCHOOL
>>128247579>>128247436Listen to real music, you punks.
This rock and roll scam is killing music. Don't the adults in the room have anything to listen to anymore?
COME AND GO WITH MECOME HOME WITH MEWAY BEYOND THE SEAI NEED YOU DARLIN'
>>128247635https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_yRsc8-MfEFunny you should say that, Mitch, because this is what your idea of music for proper, sophisticated adults is.
Suddenly, like a comet from out of nowhere...
>>128247754ha ha I sure hope Nicolette Larson doesn't make a completely horrible cover version 21 years from now right XD
>>128247715
>>128247715https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qyDWzR1V4kAnd don't pretend CBS isn't trying to weedle their way into rock-and-roll either.>#1 UK hitWhy though?
So, yeah.
Hey if any of you are ever in Brooklyn there's this 15 year old little shithead named Bob Christgau. If you see him be sure to kick his ass.
>>128247882you can see her nipples
Hey anyone wanna buy my records? Come on, I know you want to. I'm gonna have a hit eventually, just wait.
>>128248204you and that Sue Thompson chick i'm sure
>>128247882>So Tommy, I know you kids are into this crazy rock and roll stuff and so I bought you this for your birthday. Enjoy.>Uh...thanks, Aunt Nelly. I...totally appreciate this record.
Good ol' Peggy remaining pure and not doing negro music covers like a lot of her sorry peers. And hopefully she never cops to that either.
>>128248302That's not fair. Why I can even do country too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwmHr_B385U
>>128248359it's not a terrible cover of the old Ernest Tubb staple. i can only imagine how bad this would be if Teresa Brewer or Pat Boone did it.
>>128248387Acsually Pat does get on this song but that's not for a couple years.
uggh, I hate "Little Darlin'"
Welcome to the most "so bad it's good" rendition of "I Really Don't Want To Know" ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDKfP-gme74I have to guess this was based on the Ella Mae Morse version rather than the Danny Overbea original because of how he copies Ella's vocal intonation.
>>128248471EMM herself packed it in and retired from recording this year.
Fortunately the McGuire Sisters didn't really have any hits this year but as it turns out we're not actually done with them yet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDZo5gY0wqo
>>128248521Oh yeah that's a Mitch Miller-produced record all the way. The echo and the obnoxious backing vocals are his hallmarks.
A WHITE SPORT COATAND A PINK CARNATION
>>128248571>Robbins was inspired to write the song when he drove past a high school and saw the kids out front dressed up for their senior prom.[3]
it's only 32 years until Taylor Swift is born. Enjoy it while it lasts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P_N4TAr3R0To think, she was a fine songbird back during the war.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giuoXTbLLkcFuck you, Steve. Just...just fuck you.
>>128249165Another record that people's clueless Aunt May no doubt bought them when they heard they liked rock and roll.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY526wjq47ABrenda gets going, just 12 years old.
damn it feels good to be a Skiffle Chadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWA997xM9MI
>>128249198So she was heard by Red Foley while performing on an Augusta, Georgia radio show and he managed to get Decca's country division to sign her, but although they saw the potential there and were impressed with her voice, they were a bit flummoxed at how to market a 6th grader. She didn't properly break out as a hitmaker until 1960, and Decca decided to market her as pop rather than country even though she mostly recorded in Nashville with the same session guys who backed many of the big country stars of the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8j4mn4eF-cThat's a bit problematic dontcha think?
>>128249165https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5tCofAE_ecAnd soon to be honey.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5tCofAE_ecSteve Lawrence covered this too but we don't discuss that one.
>>128249344Bah, wrong link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcA_sd9TEHQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbhajpuyubkThe original industry plant of R&R and he won't be a one hit wonder, not by any stretch.
>>128249378he sounds oddly like Pat Boone which i guess is fittng
>>128249199>invents cowpunk in 1957
Made a tape of my skiffle group's latest gig. Not a bad show all told. I met this weird left handed kid who plays Eddie Cochran upside down. Might ask him to join idk.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsjTc6r92N8
>>128247497https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaCdtEEXKVwDon't count us out just yet.
>>128248259>>128247882Theresa Brewer is basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67AeUV79Nzc
>>128250306Did the Massachusetts bureau of commerce pay for this advertisement? I swear.
>>128250333>Theresa Brewer is based
>>128250335Her home state has nothing romantic about it to sing about.
>>128250306Patti will still have two more top 10 hits ahead, one of which is years later and in fact during the height of Beatlemania.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjiBbODQ2IAYeah fuck these guys and fuck their puppetmaster. >>128247635

>>128250602I really prefer the other Johnny better tbqh.
>>128247263doo wop
>>128250602>>128250490there was still a sizable audience for croonerslop with strings so these guys served the purpose of pushing it in a fresh young package
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAeNEeEM46oAnd that's where it all began.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5BoECIz9gwI hate this song but it's one of the biggest hits this year so we can't skip it.
>>128250877i'm still impressed that they got a communist work song into the top 10 during the Red Scare '50s. guess someone had to do it since the Weavers and Pete Seeger were banned from the radio.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLUPgGpprLoA hot item to cover, most other versions were goofier.
>>128250922The Fontane Sisters had that killer '55 run and then just really kind of gave up after that. When they sing about wanting to go home I think it's meant literally.
Y'all beatnik faggots gotta stop. Get a fuckin haircut
>>128250953Like, no way, Pops. We're rebels, not conformos.
Damn, another /mu/ in X year thread where it's nothing but pop and rock slop. This was the golden age of jazz and you can't be even bothered to post anything of that.
>>128248204https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqp9gA9zHQ4She had some neat early records but they weren't really radio material.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKiLw5D9I5oAnother Italian girl albeit a lot shorter lived than Connie who at least never quite did Night at the Metropolitan on her records. No thanks.
>>128250333Doing what she did best here, which is novelty schlock pop. Plus this year she lands the first cover version of "You Send Me."
WARDEN THREW A PARTY AT THE COUNTY...
YOU SHAKE MY NERVES AND YOU RATTLE MY BRAINTOO MUCH LOVE DRIVES A MAN INSANE
>>128251218>>128251198Not music.
My church is holding a "Burn a rock and roll record" event this Saturday. Come on, it'll be fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaHPgTdF1gAnother big 57 hit I hate but it's kind of unavoidable.
>>128247715Mindy the great journeywoman singer whose schtick was mostly based around two overused jokes, that she used to work at a candy factory and had a knack for saying "baby" a lot in songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67BuAnMB0GAApparently Tony Martin's version of this isn't on Youtube so we'll go with this instead.
>>128251019https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxYxJP2iDl8Here you go. A good one for ya.
>>128251418she was a dyke
>>128247882https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DQKBIe8veQCover of the Pat Boone hit from last year. It's better than the original but that's not exactly an accomplishment. I mean at least she sounds alive and awake unlike Pat.
>>128250953no way daddy-o
>>128247263johnny cash and marty robbins are best.
>>128248446https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCKODPHGi8AMan she really wanted to flex her crummy vocal gymnastics didn't she?
>>128251834>johnny cash and marty robbins are bestEspecially considering the alternative could be Pat Boone, yes, yes they are.
>>128251860The back of the album is funny because it has some photos of the recording session and shows it was clearly balls sweating hot in there. They must have done it in the middle of July or something.
>>128251860that's the Eisenhower years summed up in one song ie. being as loud and tacky as possible
>>128252040Rosie's mommy milkers more like it.
>>128252040https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhlGElT2KKswow that's a little loud. she was always a pretty good singer, maybe not quite Sinatra/Ella level but then nobody was and she did have a rather rough life when you read about it.
Oops, did I drop something?Probably not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7eGWRO_RaUfor fun, track 2. this was almost a retro 40s throwback piece to the days of the Piped Pipers. it also sounds oddly blurrier than the other song. was this ripped from a vinyl copy of the album?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1AcbP0_SYsGetting the ball rolling and this was banned by some radio stations who considered it too suggestive.
Welcome to the world Simon John Ritchie
>>128252200>Uhhhh yeah we, uhhh, just, uhhhh, fell asleep at a movie...that's it.
>>128247604Did this leak? It’s scheduled for release next year.
>>128252200Keith Richards considered Phil Everly one of his favorite ever guitarists.
>>128252200>>128252253well the lyrics seem to suggest that more happened than her just nodding off because the the movie was boring
you may have heard that "Music Music Music" once got blacklisted by radio stations too for being potentially suggestive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dP99quhRwc
>>128252390Oh yeah the Platters were a very very big group in this time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvY4x5k0ngEThis guy will die horribly in 19 years.
>>128252497He bought the farm with that kind of singing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWdkEPlnwgsHow do you do fellow kids?
>>128252561and they haven't evolved their sound a bit since 1942
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VWw6lEUsgwActually even these guys sound a little behind the times for '57, if in this case more like 1953-54 behind. Not a fan of the chimes either, a little too "The Tennessee Waltz."
>concludes rockabilly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0evOrqU9bNM
>>128252580Really it's astounding how much of a time capsule that record is, you'd think it was cut around when Pearl Harbor was attacked and left in the bin for 15 years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0evOrqU9bNMHit it, Fats!
>>128249165so Coral wanted to market him as a teen idol and do R&R covers but he wanted to do nightclub bullshit instead. eventually he won his freedom.
