Amen to that & I'm British. Infact the 1950's was a great revolutionary decade both in USA , Britain & elsewhere musically speaking. 'Joe Public' , so to speak, needs to wake up to the fact that all these great sounds happened well before the popular beat group sounds of the 1960's!!

@chrisanddi Could not have put it better myself & I'm British. A lot of the British in these Isles don't seem to realise that the 1950's was a revolutionary decade in its own rights before the popular 1960's beat group era evolved!

James "Jimmy" Page was in a skiffle band in his teens. Reminds me of American folk music... and no it is not corny. It's bad ass. Lonnie influenced so many. You mentioned the Beatles. Enough said.

This is the Elvis era, Rock and Roll started in the 50's not 60's.

I don't know if this is folk rock, rockabilly or what, but Lonnie had a unique style and was very good at delivering it. When I was a teenager, I heard his "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight" which got some radio play. That's all I knew of him, I didn't like it much, and kind of wrote him off as a joke. But, after recently discovering some of his other work on YouTube, I have a very different opinion.

Jack Elliot hated all British skiffle especially the Vipers. But he liked Lonnie Donegan for some reason he didn't know

I know: to Americans this is corny and sounds like a parody of Woody and Lead Belly but this is THE guy who influenced Van Morrison and The Beatles and other Brits/irish.
