SONGS YOU HEARD ON THE TELLY (3 CDS)

Rock & roll and television advertising share virtually the same birthday. In the United Kingdom, commercial television launched in September 1955 – and just a few months later Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent and Fats Domino launched the rock & roll bombardment. Enjoy this excellent 3 disc compilation including The Platters’ “The Great Pretender”, Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me” and Dean Martin’s “Volare”.
