Another Intrumental Booker T and the MG's
The song was recorded in 1962 but the only good video I could find was from shindig in 1965.

"I Get Around" by The Beach Boys

I like most of their stuff.

I love THE BEACH BOYS.  Not so '50s though, THE BEACH BOYS started early 'nuff for this thread, but being transitional,   ("I Get Around" went to #1 in summer 1964) an amazing feat in the BEATLES and BRIT INVASION era, but a bit late for our interests...

Getting back to a real '50s feel, one of my all time favorite recordings by HUEY 'PIANO' SMITH and THE CLOWNS, 1958:

That record went to #1 in the USA...

                                                                in 1968...

Peaked at #10, Feb 1965.  Great record... too late.   :twirl:

No problemo.  It's just my opinion that with Youtube links, one must be selective enough to generate interest... and to get your reader to click the link. 

Now, as for JERRY LEE LEWIS, not one of whose records I've ever owned (I never really liked the fn*ker) but who can deny he was the first great (white) wild man of Rock?  Here's JERRY LEE at his absurd best in the opener of HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL (which by the way is a fabulously stinkee big ol' hunk o' cinematic CHEEZ starring RUSS TAMBLYN MAMIE VAN DOREN JOHN DREW BARRYMORE JACKIE COOGAN JAN STERLING lots more 'bout rowdy teens and undercover agent combatting evil Marijuana dealers (Uncle Fester) tryin' ta loop white girls into bein' hop head dope fiends...  :teddyr:)  The first 2 minutes of this long clip is worth watching just for the opening shots if you love Americana and good old ROCK n' ROLL.  You only need to click to hear and see JERRY who's right at the beginning on the back of a pickup:

I was looking for a mid '50s clip of Little ANthony, but could only find that one from '65.  Which sucks, cause I really like them.

"Since I Don't Have You" by The Skyliners

"Volare" by Bobby Rydell (South Philly baby, in the house).  Circa 1960 or so.

I saw him in concert last year.  Decent show.

I think you told me before, but why didn't you like Jerry Lee?  I understand why most people don't (that whole marrying his cousin thing), but I was just curious.

I'm a fan of his music, but not necessarily him as a person, if that makes sense.
