Lancers - Rock Around The Island

Here is another fine tune by the Lancers, Rock Around The Island was released in 1956 on Coral 61550. There is very little information about this group. I hope you like the tune, please feel free to comment.

Love this. My copy is on a 1958 EP x Sounds like a cross between Fabian and Bill Haley xx

The Lancers was Teresa Brewer's backup group (hence why they're on Coral).

The song itself was from a 1956 20th Century Fox Cinemascope film "The Lieutenant Wore Skirts," which starred Sherree North (Fox was heavily promoting Ms. North as "the next Marilyn Monroe;" obviously that didn't happen). Fox Movie Channel runs the film occasionally.

I had this 45 when I was 8 years old in 1970 (my cousin gave it to me when she didn't want it anymore). Now it's getting very hard to find, even on Ebay!

Yes, i´m looking for material about this band. The jazzmaster guitarrist was the great illustrator Jim Steranko, who drawed Nick Furia, Captain America and much more..

@01musicfan Yes, they were. They had something different, even they sang on the way of the Crew´-Cuts or the Diamonds
