TAKE ME BACK TO ROCKN'ROLL - a re-post for a reason

Take me back to Rockn'Roll

To that music of my soul...

To the music that was ours

When we were young.

 

It hasn't left me yet,

Gee - how could I forget

Any rockin' song

Played or sung!

 

With Chuck and Jerry Lee,

That's the beat for me

And I know it's true

That you want it too.

 

With Fats on Blueberry Hill

He sure knew how to thrill,

Like Buddy and The Crickets'

Peggy Sue..

 

Three Steps to Heaven take me there,

I'm Walking - free from care,

C'mon Everybody..

It's So Fine.

 

Little Darlin', You're Sixteen,

At The Hop - A Teenage Queen,

Dreaming - of

Love Potion Number Nine.

 

Be My Guest and Stay!

Think It Over Everyday...

We've still got Rockn'Roll

And it ain't done.

 

That'll Be The Day!

We'll Not Fade Away -

And Rockn'Roll

Will be our Number One!

I am so glad I grew up through the 50s into the 60s -
arguably the most prolific era for consistently popular
song hits that still get played today - and remain as
"listenable" as they were then in the heyday of the two
and a half minute single. I was also fortunate with an
elder sister who loved Frank Sinatra and the door opened
to an equally wonderful alternative style (and musical past), and the ongoing discovery of so much more that
had gone before, including the big band days of Miller,
Goodman, Barnet, the Dorsey brothers and so many
others. Play on!!

Along with Buddy Holly they were to my mind the most influential songwriters of rock 'n' roll.
