50's


James Dean [1931 – 1955]

The late 1950’s is a defining era in music culture. I love it so much. While in the USA Rock & Roll was born, in the Netherlands and Europe still something completely different was going on.

- Corry Brokken (Dutch) was the winner of the European Song Festival in 1957. A romantic love song about a marriage situation with pretty advanced feminine lyrics.
- Ricky Nelson was a USA womanizer, but the young boob probably did not realize.

Around the same time, there was this stuff around from the USA;
- Bill Haley [1956] made some teeny girls crazy
- Elvis [1957] made everybody crazy

Enjoy
