It was the decade that gave birth to rock'n'roll and spawned the rise and rise of popular music as we know and love it. It didn't all begin in the 1950s, but without the musicians, songwriters, and producers who started breaking down barriers and appealing to those new-fangled teenagers, who knows what we'd be listening to today? The Virgin Encyclopedia of Fifties Music includes information on all the new directions that were signposted by doo-wop groups like The Platters and The Four Freshmen, by the raw rockabilly of Carl Perkins and Gene Vincent, and by the teen idols led by the Everly Brothers and the King himself, Mr. Elvis Presley. The names of the entries alone remind you what an important decade of music this was: Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis (what a band that would have been...). But with nearly 1000 entries, the encyclopedia can delve behind the headline acts and look at artists who flourished relatively briefly -- Frankie Lymon, Frankie Ford or the Chordettes for example -- as well as covering the great string of easy-listening artists from Peggy Lee to Frank Sinatra.

Includes names from the States of Alabama, Arkansas, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, and Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
