Danks | The Other 50's (71* d) | RE: The Other 50's | 23 Apr 06 |
Of course, the British experience of pop music in the 50s was very different than the USA. For example, we had only ONE radio station playing pop - the BBC. And they didn't like Rock'n'Roll! And of course we had a whole bunch of pop stars of our own who did quick covers of American hits - and very often buried the US original. I have a soft spot for some of those artists - Marty Wilde, for example. |
