Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Here's a blast from the past, the pocket sized rocker from the 50s - Brenda Lee. Just listen to her voice at just 13 years of age...................................................... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Good music but not 'REAL ROCK AND ROLL', Trevor S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 NOT real rock and roll?????????????????????????/ Do I sense racism here just because they are Australian??? They are invariably termed a hard rock band or heavy metal but they are still one of the highest earning groups of all time who even term their own music as Rock and Roll. Oh, I nearly forgot....they have also won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. Oh, and also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 That was a bit of a rant, Trevor S. To be honest, I hadn't a clue where they came from because it's not the type of music I follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 That was not intended to be a rant, MB, just a rave about the greatest group ever to come out of OZ. Wait until I really have a rant! Anyway, the Rolling Stones just about say it all................ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,684 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 'All You Gotta Do', recorded in 1958 by Tracy Pendarvis (Tracy is the correct spelling). Good track, never heard of him . Even though seems he was born in Florida, he's got a good Cornish name ! Though the spelling Pendarves with an e is more popular here. He's probably a descendant of a Cornish migrant tin-miner .

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is another recording by Tracy Pendarvis that I like. It's an unissued recording on the Sun label from 1959. I don't like everything he's done but I really like the two I've chosen. You say you've never heard of him, DAVIDW, so I've added a link that tells you about his life. http://www.rockabillyhall.com/TracyPendarvis.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Most people have heard of 'The Big Bopper' who was killed in a plane crash with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens in 1959 but I would assume not many have heard his music. This is 'White Lightnin', released in 1959. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 This colour clip was shot silent in 1955 in the Cotton Club, Texas, while Holly and Elvis Presley were working the two bottom slots on a country package tour headlined by Hank Snow — and apparently represents not only the earliest film footage of Holly but that of Elvis as well (he's dressed in a neon-bright green shirt and he's already a physically commanding figure). Buddy Holly sings 'Baby, Let's Play House' during the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TYAFANS 26 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I was looking for a place to ask this question, and looking forward to your opinions. Hard as I try, and as open minded as I am - I don't understand all the fuss made over the Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds" and also Brian Wilson's "Smile".......could someone explain this to me - without busting my balls. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
