Lets Put the Fun Back in Rock and Roll - Freddy Cannon and the Belmonts

[moparfan59]

OMG, I didn't think I'd ever find this, let alone hear it again!! I remember it well back in spring/summer of '81. The '80s sure did that, put the fun back in rock 'n roll as well as give the veterans the recognition and the combacks they deserved!! Great post!!

This proves that the '80s were certainly the last great decade for Rock N' Roll! (Huey Lewis & The News and Springsteen returned us to the innocence missing since 1963, it all ended when Grunge and Gangsta Rap took over and technology became so fixated.)

never heard this before, not bad,as compared to his hits from the 60s.

God Bless Freddy Cannon,Rock N' Roll never sounded better.

Why can't we have good ol' fashion rock n' roll in today's time?

Fun/ playful music. What happened? Look at the crap out now. I still prefer to listen to fun music over anything out now!

[davesharon5747]

you think this is a comment on today's current crap like rap and those damn angst female singers?!

[GusMcC]

It was written in '81 by the late Bob Feldman who was a bit of a visionary when it came to music, so its entirely possible :-)
