That's a great shout. One of my hopes for this thread was to spot the first use of certain instruments or techniques or approaches and the emergence of new genres. This is a great example.
ChatGPT is not reliable on genres. It is as bad as us as it takes its 'intelligence' from multiple sources some of which are contradictory.
This is very good. Not sure whether I've heard this version although there are so many versions, it's head to remember. Good that this is the original and was actually written by Frankie Lymon and co.Why Do FoolsFall in Lovekeep a high defensive line is a debut single by American rock and roll band Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers that was released on January 10, 1956.
Seriously though its a good track and should be added.
It's already there and has been since the first write-up, along with a link to the playlist - see index at the end of post #1.Superb thread. Happy lurking at the mo. Can I suggest that in the schedule on page 1 we add the page number for each of the playlists that are made.
Thanks. Obviously a bit of 'man looking' on my part.It's already there and has been since the first write-up, along with a link to the playlist - see index at the end of post #1.
From a distance of 60+ years if feels gimmick free. I'd imagine at the time it would have felt pretty gimmicky. You'd have Elvis hip thrusts, Jerry Lee Lewis setting fire to pianos etcThis is an absolutely superb playlist. Almost all the songs are clearly recorded and don't suffer from clutter or gimmicks and are all immensely catchy.
True, but you don't hear any of that on the records; that was my point.From a distance of 60+ years if feels gimmick free. I'd imagine at the time it would have felt pretty gimmicky. You'd have Elvis hip thrusts, Jerry Lee Lewis setting fire to pianos etc
I have enjoyed all of the playlists and meticulously recreated them on Amazon music so I can return to them again and again. I have always thought the music made on this side of the Atlantic was superior but this thread has clearly shown the music I love had its roots firmly in America and before that Africa. The exception being prog rock which I still think was born and flourished in Blighty.This is very good.

As we make our way through these playlists, I'm occasionally taking a quick look at Wikipedia to find out the background on various artists. Frankie Lymon was another who died young, heroin overdose at aged 25.
