1959 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW. FEBRUARY 16TH 2016.

1959....25 YEARS OF ROCK AND ROLL.....Now deleted.

Oh Carol...Neil Sedaka / Way down yonder in New orleans...Freddie Cannon / It's late....Ricky Nelson / Reveille Rock...Johnny & the Hurricanes / The wonder of you...Ray Peterson / Cathy's clown...Everly Brothers / Stagger Lee...Lloyd Price / Poor me...Adam Faith / A very Precious love...Doris Day / Sleepwalk....Santo & Johnny / Maybe tomorrow....Billy Fury / Dance with me...The Drifters / Charlie Brown...The Coasters.
