Music Videos From The '50s, page 2

Chet Atkins - Mr. Sandman



youtube has a bunch of clips from this TV show. It doesn't happen in this clip but in many songs the folks in the background break in a round of polite applause for no apparent reason. it just makes me giggle

Found one

Chet Atkins - Pickin' The Blues

Last one for awhile.. my broadband isn't broadband right now. (insert something nasty about comcast here)

The Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson - Cool Love



Joe Maphis on the double neck guitar/mandolin

You can't have a fifty thread without THE KING.

This one might not be very representative, but it has personal signifigance to me, as it probably was the first English song I understood (well, about 30% of it) and could relate to. Though I wasn't physically in jail it could easily be felt like that being a teenager in the late fifties.


Elvis Presley - I Want To Be Free (colorized version)

The teeny bopper of fifties rock.


Ricky Nelson - Hello Mary Lou

This came out before my time.
But I hear it every now and then.
I've always thought it was one SEXY song.

Peggy Lee has the "Fever"

The Platters - The Great Pretender (1956)




Debbie Reynolds - Tammy (1957)




Fats Domino - I'm in the mood for love (1957)

Fats Domino - Blue Monday (1956)



The Everly Brothers - Bird Dog (1958)



Little Richard - Keep a Knockin' (1957)

Tennessee Ernie Ford - 16 Tons (1956)



You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
