Here's a blast from the past, the pocket sized rocker from the 50s - Brenda Lee.

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.

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................ smile2

'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 .

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.

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.

This beautiful ballad 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' was recorded by The Teddy Bears in 1958.

It was written by group member, Phil Spector. It was the only vocal group he was ever in

and the drummer, Sandy Nelson was also on the recording. They disbanded after a year.

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.
