This is the music that started it all! Today we celebrate the rock and roll pioneers of the 1950s, followed by a set of rock and roll songs from that decade (and the early 60s) covered by The Beatles.
For each Beatle song, I have listed the original artist.

Oh I love this! All of these early pioneers, came rushing back! I believe that I owned every single one of these artists on a 45. That was kind of my heart be back then collecting 45s! And I loved all the Beatles songs, gosh those were just such great replicas of who did the original. This was a good day I love this! Ray, you’re the best! 🥰
Thank you, Sandy 🥰
Those were magical days. I’m very happy I could bring back the memories for you!
A home run…best of the 50s and Beatle covers of more big 50s tunes
So much fun, it was worth a replay!
Thanks, Mary Helen 🥰
It was a lot of fun getting back to the “roots” of rock and roll!

I have listened to then all but have been horrible on commenting .. has been a very stressful week, my company did more layoffs on Monday (2nd layoff in less than 5 months) and I thankfully still have a job. Phone calls, meetings, changing crap around … blah blah all week has left me exhausted. With that I am off to bed so i don’t fall asleep here at my desk. Wake up in the morning and do it all over again .. yay me …
Have a wonderful night my friend
xxoo
Thank you, Penny 🥰
Don’t worry about not having the time to comment. You have a job to do and that is far more important!
Sweet Dreams!
