Video Hits of the 1950's

[superfan]

Hello:

I decided to start a thread that contains music videos from You Tube from the 1950’s. With the exception of this message, I am going to try to find “lost” songs that you haven’t heard in a while. This time around I am going to pick my top five artists of the late 1950’s.

1. Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock (1956)

2. Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender

3. Chuck Berry – Maybellene

4. Everly Brothers – Bye Bye Love

5. Buddy Holly – Peggy Sue

Hope you enjoy this, if there is an positive response to this. I will post more videos in the future. By all means, if you wish to add your own favorite songs in this thread to post, let’s add to the collection.

Thank You

Before MTV came along in the 1980's,performance clips were usually filmed with the artists lip-synching to their hit record-The Platters became one of the first groups to participate in this new venture.

These early performance clips were called "soundies"-They bacame popular during the 1940's.
