  4. This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #JumpUpAndDown. This great clip is from the 1959 Alan Freed movie "Go Johnny Go!":

    The Flamingos: Jump Children (1959)
    youtube.com/watch?v=COFvEGFzGYc

    Although the Flamingos were better-known for their ballads, you wouldn't believe it from the wild dance routines on this clip! The line-up of the group at the time was Nate Nelson, Tommy Hunt, Jake Carey, Paul Wilson, Zeke Carey and Terry Johnson. In addition to singing, Terry Johnson played guitar and Zeke Carey bass.

  5. "Sh-Boom" ("Life Could Be a Dream") is a #doowop song by the #RAndB vocal group #theChords. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and William Edwards, members of the Chords, and was released in 1954. It is sometimes considered the first doo-wop or #rockAndRoll record to reach the top ten on the pop charts (as opposed to the R&B charts), as it was a top-10 hit that year for both the Chords (who first recorded the song).

  6. "Maybellene" is a #rockAndRoll song by American artist #ChuckBerry, adapted in part from the #westernSwing fiddle tune "Ida Red". Released in 1955, Berry’s song tells the story of a #hotRod race and a broken romance, the lyrics describing a man driving a #V8 #Ford and chasing his unfaithful girlfriend in her #CadillacCoupeDeVille. It was released in July 1955 as a #single by #ChessRecords, of #ChicagoIllinois. Berry's first hit.

  7. "Slow Down" is a #rockAndRoll song written and performed by #LarryWilliams. Recorded in 1957, #AllMusic writer Stewart Mason describes it as "raucous enough to be #punkRock nearly a full two decades before the concept was even in existence." #SpecialtyRecords released it as a single in 1958, but only the second-side "#DizzyMissLizzy" reached the record charts. Both songs were later covered by #theBeatles.

    Below Radar ...

    A trio of really slick, vastly underplayed songs from the original Valley Girl soundtrack (there's also a follow-up soundtrack adding another 16 songs). Give these tunes a listen and enjoy. Also, if you're in any way into the movie or the valley-adjacent songs of that era, both soundtracks are absolutely worth exploring.

    Later, during the #BuildBackBetter days of #USpol sanity, she accepted an invitation to be inducted into the #RockAndRoll Hall of Fame, which she had previously rejected.
