He was 75 yrs old then.

Your turntable is running too fast. The song is a little slower than this.

I saw him play in 2002 in England at the Rhythm Riot Festival. It was the first time he ever played in the UK. He was fantastic even though he was 75 years young. He said to the audience, "Bill Haley beat me here, 50 years ago. It took me 55 years to get here, and I'm having more fun than you are."

The Jimmy Cavallo House Rockers, sang the title song, "Rock Rock Rock" in the 1956 film of the same name.

Allan Freed (DJ) made an appearance, as did . . .

My apoligies to MR CAVALLO ..

[88keys30]

I all this time i never realised ......Niether did four and a half thousand others ...

[JosephNScott]

At this point Cavallo sounds like he's trying to sound like Haley, and who can blame him. "Leave Married Women Alone" has a more individual sound I think (which makes sense since he may have barely known who Haley was back then).

coral 18-67 Hi there, I believe that this is the prefix no for the American Coral 78. If you go to Google & type in "Jimmy Cavello 78" there is a link to a Discography of Jimmy's releases. Most of the Big Collectors., ...not me.... will tell you that it would have been highly unlikey for a lot of this stuff not to be released on 78 , & in some cases both vynal and shellack, Escpecially For 1956 & to co-encide with this motion picture, as 45's were not all that popular when 1st introduced . >>

Oh wow! A 78 of this. I don't know if it was produced in the US. I have the 45 of this

[bmxgenie]

i was lucky to have had this on lp. but 78 great stuff

[maxwellgb]

Thank you too 88 keys for your valuation remark, i've actually posted it for ebay auction with a starting bid of $100 I would like to keep it but i wouldn't like to see it break with the loads of collectable junk i have hoarded over the years. Thanks again and it was certainly great to hear it on YouTube

[maxwellgb]

I've got a copy of this record, exactly the same and this is the first time i've heard it. Just how rare is it? and what sort of money is a record like this really worth? does anyone know?

for some reason i've kept this record along with others over the years and yeah man its sounds really cool and i agree its like a time warp ... stray cats

[88keys30]

the 78 is worth about 200 aud for an australian press

[goldbergje]

What year was this?

[drdee51]

1956

[elvischevy]

great rocknroll song

[arcticrocker]

Fine!!!

[KIRK976]

The film this song comes from is a must-see for anyone interested in the roots of Rock N'Roll.

In case you miss it in the opening credits,Tuesday Weld's "singing" is done by by a then unknown named Connie Francis.

[Ponimaju]

Sounds pretty good. Reminds me a bit of what the Stray Cats and later Brian Setzer tried to achieve.
