Welcome to Old Forty Fives. com,
where the '50s and '60s come back to life.
When did Rock'n Roll start?
Some people think it started in 1953 with Ike Turner's "My Rocket
88," or Big Joe Turner with "Honey, Hush" in 1953, or "Shake, Rattle
and Roll" 1954. Personally, I believe it started with the premiere
of the movie Blackboard Jungle in theaters across the country, in
1955. This movie featured the song "Rock Around the Clock" by "Bill
Haley and his Comets," which helped to propell Rock and Roll as a
musical genre. It was reported that teenagers jumped from their
seats to dance to the song. |

About the
Penny Postcard Archives
Why "Penny Postcards"? These
postcards cost 1˘ to mail. Postage was temporarily raised to 2˘ from
1917 to 1919 to cover the cost of World War I & from 1925 to 1928
(not sure the reason for the latter). |
