Rock o'clock - 50's and 60's music collection

This site is dedicated to 50's and 60's music, mainly to rock and roll. Brief comments from my own point of view, but not biographies, about some of the greatest 50's and 60's artists are included, alongside with some of their best songs. At present this collection covers 53 songs from 34 different artists. Before every song appear the title and the year of release. Now it's time for rock'n'roll... read, listen and enjoy!

Jackie DeShannon

As well as rock and roll was mainly a men thing, pop music started to open for women. Jackie DeShannon is the 'Queen of pop', specially in first middle sixties. She made a great number of songs, most composed with Eddie Cochran's girlfriend, Sharon Sheeley, after Cochran's death. Jackie use to present a happy look, feeling every song. One of her best songs, When you walk in the room, was also performed by The Searchers.
