Chulla 4,946 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 One of the very best rock and roll instrumentals is THE BEAT by the Rocking Rs (London label) If I can find a way of putting it into the thread, I will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 'It's Only Make Believe' by Conway Twitty was released in 1958 and is one of my favourite songs. He started off in Rock & Roll but went on to become one of the best Country & Western singers ever with most of his songs getting to number 1 in America during the 70's and 80's.
