VA - American Heartbeat 1955 - 1962 [2014-2015] (16 x CDs)

The popular One Day Music series "American Heartbeat" brings tracks for your nostalgic entertainment. You will hear many of the well-known performers of the earlier years along with new sounds.  As with all these compilations the transfers are from originals and to get the best value shop around…

1955            Like a new-born foal, rock'n'roll in the mid Fifties was long-legged and full of unbridled energy but was not really sure where to go or what to do with all that vitality. So, we have the likes of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley vying for chart positions with established crooners such as Perry Como, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Few, however, would deny the potency of such a heady mixture. As Dean Martin said, 'Memories are made of this.'

1956            Many soon-to-be greats were taking early steps to stardom in 1956, among them best-selling vocal group the Platters, the inimitable Little Richard, rhythm and blues pioneer Ray Charles and rock n roll poet laureate Chuck Berry. Fats Domino and Roy Orbison also feature on our compilation. All of which goes to prove that rock n roll was here to stay!

1957            The year of 1957 was probably the last one in which America would rule the rock'n'roll waves, but our compilation contains all the elements that would soon give the rest of the world the blueprint for writing their own chapters in the glorious history of pop music. This 2 disc set includes hits from the likes of the Everly Brothers, Frankie Laine, Debbie Reynolds, Buddy Holly and the Del-Vikings.

1958            Rock'n'roll was born in the United States - and 1958 was the year it was exported to the rest of the world. Buddy Holly, who kicks off our first disc with 'Rave On', hit British shores in March with the force of a musical hurricane. Following closely behind him were the like of The Chordettes, Bobby Day, The Everly Brothers and Connie Francis, all included here on this 2 disc compilation.

1959            In musical terms, 1959 was the year rock'n'roll lost its first great singer-songwriter. Buddy Holly perished when the single-engine Beechcraft light aircraft in which he was travelling fell to earth in a snowstorm near Mason City, Iowa. He was accompanied by fellow stars the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens; we feature 'Donna', the last hit released in Valens' lifetime. The pop world they left behind was one that represented every kind of music, both pre-rock and beyond. In 1959, the British Invasion was still a handful of years on the horizon, as were such earthshaking events as the Cuban missile crisis and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Enjoy the soundtrack to 12 rock 'n' rolling months.

1960            The world is changing. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do… The problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won. We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier - the frontier of the Sixties. A frontier of unknown opportunities and perils - a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats. The words came from President John F. Kennedy, whose election as President of the United States in November 1960 promised a brave new world. It seemed the era of grey postwar austerity, in which rock'n'roll had shone like a beacon, would be transformed. The teenager, invented in the Fifties, could look forward to a brighter future. As Neil Sedaka, Dion, Chubby Checker, Bobby Ridell and the Drifters - all artists included here - starred in the Brooklyn's Theatre's Christmas Rock 'n' Roll Show, John F. Kennedy contemplated his forthcoming inauguration. An eventful decade was just beginning…

1961            In 1961 a new era was dawning with John F. Kennedy taking office, it was also the year Brylcreem-coiffed young guns like Dion, Ricky Nelson and Bobby Vee all gave Elvis and Roy a run for their money. The year may have ended on a negative note with the conflict in North Vietnam, but in pop 1961 was definitely another winner. Featured artists include Dion, Jimmy Dean, Ral Donner, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, Bobby Vee, Chris Kenner, Del Shannon, Brenda Lee, The Jive Five, Ricky Nelson, The Marcels, Bobby Lewis, The Capris, Shep And The Limelites, Connie Francis and many others.

1962            In 1962 Elvis was still king and retained his status as the top recording artist with a string of hits like 'Return To Sender', and 'Can't Help Falling In Love'. Male solo acts like Roy Orbison, Rick Nelson and Dion also maintained their chart supremacy with hits Dream Baby, Young World and The Wanderer, all included on this superb 2-disc compilation. Featured artists includes The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Dion, Roy Orbison, Tommy Roe, Freddy Cannon, Brenda Lee, Johnny Tillotson, The Tornados, Rick Nelson, Connie Francis and many others.

  2. This is a great series - there is also a 3-cd set of each decade entitled "American Heartbeat - The 50s" and "American Heartbeat - The '50s". These are a smaller collection of the most popular songs of those decades - well, from '55 to 62. And they're on the series above anyway.

    1. Sorry, the second title should be "American Heartbeat - The '60s" - oops. 😎

  3. And another I forgot 3-CD album - "American Heartbeat - Rock 'n' Roll". Sorry, was distracted by watching the cricket from New Zealand.
