1959's "Let's Rock!" with Wink Martindale (above), Julius La Rosa, Paul Anka, Danny and The Juniors, Roy Hamilton, The Royal Teens, The Tyrones, and Della Reese. With Conrad Janis of "Mork and Mindy" as La Rosa's manager. Fun '50's rockin' flick.
With a great vocalist Like Elvis or Gene Vincent, I think this song would have been a smash hit. The backing track is great, and for a Rockabilly tune to have a Sax break is unusual. You usually heard Sax breaks on R&R records like The Coasters or Fats Domino, but not on Rockabilly records by Elvis, Jerry Lee , Gene Vincent, etc. It's a great track - great feel. I love the Jordanaires type background harmonies and all in all, it's a great song. I like the dancers, especially the front couple.
Little Richard used Saxes in the background...you are right, it was mostly those great early black artist that used them. Guy's like Wink would steal great tunes from black artist and sell them as their own. As you can see in this video, Wink closely reminds me of what I see on my toilet paper after a good bathroom session!
"You usually heard Sax breaks on R&R records like The Coasters or Fats Domino, but not on Rockabilly records" Yeah, because saxes were WAY more common in R&B as of the early '50s than in "hillbilly" as of the early '50s.
I like this the way it is, I am a gene Vincent fan through and through, but it would have sounded completely different if the great man had done it! And that's what makes rockabilly so great compared to some other music is the verity of sounds
The name of this song is "ALL LOVE BROKE LOOSE".It was on DOT Records in 1958 and was used in the movie called LET'S ROCK starring Julius La Rosa, Phyllis Newman and of course Wink Martindale before his game show career. He was only 24 on this video.
Someday someone (Glen Baker?) is going to write/record the history of popular (i.e.sensual/vibrant) music.This song is part of that history if only in the same way that Greg Norman is part of Augusta's history.Full of sound and fury, trying hard, looking and sounding good, but......
Many people know Winston Conrad as game show host Wink Martindale. Few know that he once waxed a record, "Deck of Cards," that reached the number seven position on Billboard's Top 100 pop chart in November 1959. Martindale was born in Belle, TN, on December 4, 1934. As a teenager he realized his gift of gab, and school friends gave him the moniker Wink. He worked as a radio announcer before hosting Teenage Dance Party in Los Angeles on KHJ-TV in 1959.
His most successful record was his cover of Frankie Miller's "Black Land Farmer," which bottomed out at number 85 on the charts. While his recording career went south, Martindale became a fixture on daytime television. Since 1978 he has hosted Tic Tac Dough, Last Word, and Debt, among others.
@Reine72 You write that "Deck Of Cards" reached 7, but then you say "his most successful record was his cover of Frankie Miller's 'Black Land Farmer', which bottomed out at number 85 on the charts".

What a great song! Wink Martindale had a # 7
song on the Billboard with "Deck of Cards" in
1959 but this song is new to me. Thanks for
posting. I was lucky because I was born in the
40's and went through all the rock & roll
period from the 1st day on

Tex Ritter, the late John Ritter's dad, also did that song (Deck of Cards).
