People are saying that in 1955 what you mainly heard on the radio was "sanitised" white artists. But in New York where I was living at the time--mainstream stations played anything at all...little richard was a big favourite with the boys in my class! And Fats Domino. On the other hand, you often heard African American artists singing mainstream "white" songs. Fats had a big hit with "I'm in the Mood for Love" or as Zembrowski used to sing it "I'm in the Nude for Love". 1956? 12 year boys! God

The reason these are all white tunes  was evidently he is putting the biggest records of 1955 all these songs were either number one or number two on the charts, some great black music was around but they didnt get as high up the charts as these tunes, the black music wasnt being played a lot on the pop stations but of course this changed quickly

no one can sing that song like Fats D. iam White but i loved all of the black singers back in the late 50's and 60's my step mother use to get so mad at me she would say turn that dam music down then my dad would come into my room and say what in the hell does Stop In The Name OF Love mean and i said to him i dont know dad you bought me this 45 at the Navy Base.

I own 97 45 records from 1955. I have Hearts Of Stone, Rock Around The Clock, Sincerely, Yellow Rose Of Texas, Ain't That A Shame, Sixteen Tons, and many more. All I need is a Seeburg jukebox!

Pat Boone and Randy Wood (Owner of Dot records) tried to pasteurize black music of the

1950s, from "Ain't That A Shame" to "Long Tall

Sally" They failed, the music does not stand up at all today. 

Then came Elvis and Pat had the good sense to turn to Pop ballads, where he had great success.

Finally Pat got a hold of a rock-a-ballad "Moody River" his greatest record.

His work on the lyric for Theme from "Exodus"

is noteworthy.

His recent anti-gay statements, show the true

Pat Boone

excuse me, but this is the worst list of anything I've ever seen All white, white cover records where are the original black groups? Or do they not exist to you?
