Songs include: "Twenty Flight Rock," "Trouble," "What'd I Say," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Long Tall Sally," "Baby, Let's Play House," "Shakin' All Over," "Whole Lotta Twisting." Many more. SWINGING TOGETHER 1962 Television pilot. Bobby Rydell. A teenage rock n roll band (Bobby Day and His Four Knights) on the road in a tour bus playing one-night stands on their way to fame. Stars Bobby Rydell, James Dunn and Stephanie Powers (Girl From U.N.C.L.E.). Great twist and rock n roll songs! DesiLu production. PARTY TIME 1959 Fantastic St. Louis, MO rock and roll teen music TV show with Ike Turner and "The Boys" as the house rock n roll band! This episode features the National Rock and Roll Championship for Jitterbug dancing! So, it looks like this: a white host, all white teenagers and an all-black R&B band wailing on the following tunes: "I know You Don't Love Me," "Rock and Roll Cha Cha Cha," "So Fine," "Splish Splash," "Charley Brown" and others. Very low tech but incredible 1950s charm and great music! CALYPSO HEATWAVE 1957 Teen Movie. A jukebox tycoon forces his way into a record company. This angers the label's biggest star, who doesn't want to change his style. He disappears and so does the company's profits. A once-in-a-lifetime cast includes song and dance man Joel Grey, Maya Angelou -- later a famous poet, Darla Hood of Little Rascals fame, actor Alan Arkin who was a member of The Tarriers, and the fabulous rockin' Treniers who wail on "Rock Joe" and "Day Old Bread and Canned Beans." BOB WILLS & THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS 1950s Rare collection of film shorts and soundies features Bob and the boys doing virtually all their big hits. Plus, a super rare half-hour kinescope from the mid-50's of a local Dallas TV show, "Music Country Style," in which Bob & the boys are guests! Wall-to-wall western swing! RAG DOLL (a.k.a. YOUNG, WILLING AND EAGER) 1958 Awesome U.K. JD movie. A young girl hitchhikes to London and becomes a waitress. Her boss makes sexual advances, which she rejects. She puts the moves on a singer who gets her pregnant and burglarizes her boss's home. The boss awakens during the theft and shoots the singer. The wounded singer retaliates and kills the boss, steals a car, kidnaps his wife, and flees with the police in hot pursuit. But wait, the ending is a total shocker!

A: "Sweet Little Sixteen" reached the Number 2 position in February 1958 and stayed there for three weeks. It wasn't until September 1972 that Chuck scored a Number 1 hit with, "My Ding-A-Ling," proving that there's no correlation between the charts and good music. ****************************************************************************** 3. 10% DISCOUNT ON ALL: GENE VINCENT AND JERRY LEE LEWIS VIDEOS!
