“Music replays the past memories, awakens our forgotten worlds and makes our minds travel.”
With that in mind, let’s do some serious traveling today. All the way back to the Fabulous Fifties!

The Fifties Medley
Elvis Presley – Chuck Berry – Teddy Bears
Sam Cooke – Platters – Tommy Edwards
Everly Brothers – Buddy Holly – Gene Vincent
Eddie Cochran – Bill Haley with His Comets
Wow, all the words came flooding back like it was yesterday. Amazing how I remembered all the lyrics. Some random thoughts: Chuck Berry really jammed a lot of words into his songs. Tommy Edwards was so smooth. I don’t think he is remembered or recognized as much as he deserves. What a voice! Both Buddy Holly & Eddie Cochran amassed such great, original songs/hits in their tragically short careers. One can only imagine what they could have achieved if only…Another Home Run today Ray. Makes me want to cruise to the malt shop in my hot rod for a burger. Thanks for the great memories.
Thanks, Don.
You’re right about Tommy Edwards. He is but a footnote to that fabulous era.
I absolutely love the imagery in your last sentence!
ROCK ON, BRO!
Ohh my word I absolutely love chuck berry and again what a fantastic mix to play while having coffee and getting ready for work..
Rock around the clock has always been one of my motivation songs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Thank you, Victoria!

Thanks Penny!
I hope the music stays with you all day long! 🙂
This was the best medley yet and it’s only Monday! Yes I sang along with every song, new 99% of the words. Funny how our recall is so magnificent when we thinking back 70 years ago. Gosh that’s making me feel old I got a quit referencing age here! I still feel young at heart, I believe that is one of the most important things. State of mind is where it’s at, and to have loved and still love it’s even more. Thank you Ray for this just fabulous collection of songs to take us on a trip back. Keep rocking sir! 😍
Sandy, you’ve done it again! Great commentary! It is funny how song lyrics from that long ago still live in our brain … and heart. ❤️
Enjoy this day and keep on rockin’, young lady! 🥰
Ray the magic that you do sometimes makes my teardrops fall!! But when you add a Teddy Bear and a Cooke on a Platter All I can say is bye bye cause I’m going to jump on that Comet and ride along with my baby!! I’m going to rock around the clock tonite!! Fantastic tunes!! Ray Nancy goes in for her knee replacement tomorrow so if I don’t blog know that we will be listening but I think I am going to have my hands full!! Love ya and keep us a Rockin’!!!
