The '50s Rock 'N Roll - At the Hop volume in the 20th Century Rocks series features no shortage of big artists and hit songs from the era. The emphasis here is on early rock & roll. Some of the better-known songs include Pat Boone's "Ain't That a Shame," the Platters' "Only You (And You Alone)," Danny & the Juniors' "At the Hop," Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally," and Frankie Avalon's "Why." The classics don't stop there, though. Every song here was a chart-topper in its time. This collection will surely take you back to this golden era of early rock & roll.
