Year+of+1956​

America’s Music Culture
The year in which all of these songs are chosen is 1956. At this time music was beginning a Doo-Waap era with a hint of rock and roll. That is why the rock n’ roll genre best represents 1956. When looking at the Top 100 songs of the time names such as: Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash are plastered all over the billboards. Even an African American, James Brown, can be heard across the radio waves. This was a time when girls wearing poodle skirts raved over the hip thrusting Mr. Presley. This age gave us a soft sound with a hoppin’ underbelly. The music of the Bandstand could be seen across the television screens. Teenagers everywhere were seen doing The Charleston in the street. The 1950s was a time of letting lose, a great segway into the 1960s.
