Rock and Roll Movie Encyclopedia of the 1950s FROM THE PUBLISHER
"When Columbia released Rock Around the Clock - the first movie about rock and roll - in 1956, it created a sensation. In England, where the music had not been heard before, young people got so worked up the movie was banned in many communities. In the United States, teenagers danced in the aisles!" A virtual tidal wave of similar rock and roll features followed. This book offers the reader the opportunity to see through the eyes of the people who made and acted in them. Music and movie history entries are supported by a handsome collection of rare photos. All songs are cross-referenced by film, artist and title.
