From one of those 1950's musical calvalcade movies where a number of musical acts would perform around a rather thin plot. The best one of the genre is The Girl Can't Help which marries great musical acts some major stars and an amusing plot. It's well worth seeking out. This one is available for free download but the plot is rather thin. It revolves around Alan Freed bringing his rock and roll show to a high school prom. So we've dispensed with the story and have three collections of clips we will upload. This one features some R&B vocal stylings of the time by the above performers.
We have included some links relating to the featured artists:
